What Brand New Beginners Should Focus on in Jiu Jitsu

[@danieladula2945]

AHHHH seeing your videos make me feel more confident to keep going. I just started my first class this past week and had a lot of fun but I am really intimidated to start rolling. Love your content and appreciate all the advice you give folks like myself : )

[@kimberlykinch]

Thank you so much for watching! That's amazing that you've started, many won't even do that, so you've conquered the first really tough step! Give yourself some time and you'll start to feel a bit more comfortable.

Yaaas queen. I LOVE the narration of your techniques. Keep it up ! I'd love more live rolling techniques ( with other females of different belts if it's feasible )

[@kimberlykinch]

Thank you SO MUCH! i really appreciate the support :) Yes for sure! I love doing those videos, so I'm happy you find them helpful :)

[@littlelasagna805]

i looooove the way you walk through techniques! just enough information to know what to do and be successful, and not too much info so that the movements feel overwhelming ♥️♥️♥️

[@kimberlykinch]

That makes me so happy! Keeping things simple is my life motto lol. I'm happy these kinds of videos are helpful for you :)

I watched your videos before my first ever class and now I’m on month 5 of training 💕☺️

[@kimberlykinch]

AHH THAT'S AMAZING! I feel like you've gotten over the first hump of sticking with jiu jitsu, and now you'll be training for the rest of your life heheh :)

Love the beginner tips. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@kimberlykinch]

Glad they were helpful :)

How many classes, weeks, months did it take for you to feel comfortable/ confident in class and rolling? I still feel mostly clueless when rolling and still working on the muscle memory of the drills we are learning. Still feeling kinda robot with movements.

[@MsFootloose88]

You're never going to feel comfortable. Find someone you trust and just do it. Focus on survival and moving because you're not going to get a single submission and that's OK! Have fun and get accustomed to fighting. - some encouragement from a not so brand new white belt

[@kimberlykinch]

To feel comfortable going to class and rolling? A while! I didn't start feeling comfortable in class until about 5-6 months in. But it's very different for every one :) I still feel very clueless, always uncomfortable and adding new techniques to my game, some days seems impossible. But these are all GOOD things. Just remember, you're not the only one feeling like this. Every one else in the room is still trying to remember techniques, not be the nail all the time and improve, just as much as you are. :)

Love your videos x Thank you!

Thanks so much for watching them and supporting ! 💙

Not jujitsu related at all lol, but what are your makeup faves! (For yourself & when you're working as an mua)

[@kimberlykinch]

So many things!! I stock my kit for clients with a variety of brands. Let’s see, for a little bit of coverage with a dewy finish, I really love the It Cosmetics CC Cream. Viseart and Lorac carry some of my favorite shadow palettes. Becca carries the BEST liquid and powder highlighters but they went out of business :( I can go on for days! Lol

[@elizabethwall3285]

@@kimberlykinch thanks for your reply! I'm glad Becca's under eye brightener & the shimmering skin profe tor moved over to smashbox! Lol I just had to ask because I loved your look in the video (and the jiujitsu tips)!

[@kimberlykinch]

Aw thank you so much ! Oh my gosh I didn’t even know that - so good to know because they’re just soo good 😍😁 I always wear one of the Milani shimmer blushes in my videos, I think they’re a really good drug store option :)

[@elizabethwall3285]

@@kimberlykinch Lol it was your blush that stood out to me in the video! Love that Milani blush in luminoso! One of my faves!

[@JayGaddam-mf1vc]

Does knowing how to wrestle help with BJJ?

[@kimberlykinch]

Yeah

[@JayGaddam-mf1vc]

@@kimberlykinch Would you recommend learning Judo for a couple of years before going into BJJ so that you can get better at BJJ quicker?

[@coloradoclif]

Brand? I'm a big fan of Tatami stuff. Oh, not the question, darn punctuation.
