Man, I've been insta-killed so many times they all blur together. I am not very good at jiujitsu.
On a positive note, one of the first encouraging signs of progress I ever noticed was when I was rolling with a pans champ who usually kills me every sixty seconds like clockwork, and he only tapped me out three times in a five minute round, instead of five times. Hooray!

I like to mix active and passive. Sitting down specifically to watch, writing notes, repeating or rewinding parts over and over. Then throwing it on as background noise when I'm doing something entirely unrelated but doesn't require full attention. The second way tends to lead to more ahh-ha moments, or getting to me consider something I hadn't before, or realizing a flaw somewhere else that has fuck all to do with the lesson. The first, obviously more academic.

Ideally: watch a section, take some notes, take some screenshots or screen record demonstrations of moves, and drill them with people. Then try them live and troubleshoot

Stick to half guard, guard retention, and escapes for now. Lachlan Giles or Danaher preferably. Danaher can be long winded but if you focus on the parts where he demonstrates the moves, he repeats the concepts and details a lot.

the owner should be the one taking 5 minutes to wipe down the mats after each class and take an hour to deep clean the entire place twice a week. This is normal maintenance of a property you manage. It's only full time if you don't keep on top of it. You pay for a clean facility you shouldn't be the ones doing the cleaning

You're about 10% as flexible as you think you are, shit happens. Lightly tore an LCL on a roll that to external observers was a
>why'd you tap, didn't see anything that'd cause an injury
because fights are just a vigorous process of getting jostled in unexpected ways. Wore a brace for a while, took a break for a bit, and it healed back just fine - but until it was made real for me that I wasn't stretching enough, no amount of warnings would've helped.

Regular bodyweight squats (I'd do sets of 20 while watching TV shows) without weight as well as bracing it specifically during rolling strengthened things and has been enough to avoid any reinjuries of it thereafter.

Ok? I know a lot about submission grappling though. I’ve been doing it for ten years. Most cops can deal really well with a suspect who is wholly compliant and can do really well with a suspect that’s trying to murder them. Most cops don’t have any idea what to do against a guy who wants to punch them then run away. I’ve seen so many videos where even fit looking cops end up on their backs because they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing when it comes to actually wrestling with people and instead opt for gay wrist locks that don’t work on resisting people who aren’t caught off guard.

I wish it was more of a thing in the US. Jocko willink talked about this and mentioned that in addition to their regular jobs seals spend 8 hours every week training. Cops would benefit immensely from 8 hours of training a week in not only submission grappling, but case scenarios and other shit. They don’t do this though and are resistant to this because muh thin blue line, gotta be out collecting traffic tickets. Don’t tell me I don’t know what I’m doing academy taught me everything

Yes, unironically. That is what police are supposed to do. In fact, in my limited experience it’s not even hard if you know what you’re doing. It’s only police that freak the fuck out and shoot everyone every time there’s a confrontation.

I’m not even criticizing police for shooting people in losing situations where they might be killed. I’m only saying that good grappling skills may prevent the from being a necessity in a majority of situations. For some reason, retards like you insist that police officers must not be properly trained and instead blast everyone who looks at them funny.

found the pig

there's really very few circumstances where police cant make them worse because their egos get involved and things escalate to violence when they never had to
when someone is running away and the cops pull a taser for example

so who escalated that situation? the guy that was running or the one that drew a weapon on him?

I watch a section, do mental drills, then drill on a pillow, then apply it on live rolls until it sticks. Then I move to the next section and repeat the process.
I skip drilling with real people because they keep trying to give me advice and I just don't feel like it's worth it. I haven't found taking notes particularly useful either but i guess it depends on what kind of learner you are.

You've still got to get them in cuffs at some point, even if you pepper sprayed them or even shot them. Laying hands is never going to look good on camera, but telling him to give you his hands while knowing how to apply pain compliance from a dominant position is going to look a hell of a lot better than grinding his face against the sidewalk for two minutes.

Coratid chokes are fucking fantastic compliance tools. I fucking seen it. But assholes never learn how to apply them without flattening a trachea and so now their against department policies in multiple cities, robbing police of one of the best ways for letting someone wakeup from the worst day of their life in the back of a cop car, instead of going into a freezer in the hospital.

Retarded cops don't even know if the person they're interacting with is a criminal or not half the time, they just arrest people (with violence if necessary) and let the DA figure it out
It's your duty to resist unlawful arrests, when the cops violate your rights they are the criminals, objectively. The constitution is the law of the land and they violate it when they seize you without probable cause

So at least maybe we can be in agreement that cops should be shot when they detain people without probable cause to do so

Judo brown belt here and I just picked up a 10 lesson punch card from a local bjj gym to improve my newaza and find out what touching legs feels like. If the gym seems solid I'll drop in as often as I can (curently doing judo+mt as a wagie). I know the standard tips of show up to learn and check the ego at the door, but anything else I should know going in? I'm also really curious as to how the class pace compares.

Also, judo guy at bjj club stories and impressions? We get bjj guys all the time and in my experience they've all been really chill dudes who become absolute beasts if they stick with it. Once they lose the bent-over double stiff arm in randori and loosen up when taking throws they typically improve really quickly.

Just go and have fun and tell us what you think of it. It's probably a lot of stuff that you really don't spend more than 30 seconds in before you stand up again in judo like closed guard, what's the longest you've been in closed guard? In BJJ you might be in it for 5-6 minutes or positional sparring reset the entire class. Depends a lot of the gym culture and what the coach is teaching

Thanks anon, I'm pretty hyped for it. My judo club is very competition-oriented so we keep a pretty high pace and do at least 4-5 rounds of randori every class. Obviously we start standing for the majority of sparring but usually we'll have a class or two a week where we alternate rounds standing and starting on the ground. But yeah I'd say 80% of our sparring starts standing and if you don't get an ippon-level throw immediately transition to hunting for subs and turnovers on the ground. The head coach was a D1 wrestler back in the day so he's very much an old school "maintain intense top pressure and attack attack attack" kind of guy. Some of the other coaches crosstrain bjj so we get some bottom game lessons and practice but yeah my closed guard is pretty trash. Judo will always be my true love but it's frustrating how much of it has fallen by the wayside due to IJF fuckery.

Retard take.

Because your teacher isnt gordon ryan no matter how good they because you dont live near austin and get invited to roka because your teacher cant dedicate their lives to jiujitsu like gordon ryan did to the utmost autistic degree for half their life so while they are good at some things they may be weaker at others because your teacher might not be teaching what you want to practice right at this moment because your teacher has to teach from constraint as they do have to slow shit down and not go into autistic detail for the 2x a weak hobbyist/lower belts and isnt in an environment where they dont have anything besides teach an elite group of pro or aspiring pros because your teacher isnt at open mat because you already know what they taught in class and may get some details when probe but it isnt enough stimulation because your teacher sucks and you have no other choices

This is generally a good take with some guys game being a lot more physical or intuitive

EXCEPT you're kinda hand waving it and talking in generalities when there is a clear example. This is gordon ryan we're talking about danaher himself thinks highly of gordon's teaching ability and claims it to be one of his best abilities

Even if you think danaher is lying for some reason, it becomes abundant clear if you watch his instructionals he's a great teacher. His game is very playable for the public

Police can't just arrest you for no reason, they need to have probable cause, and if they have no evidence that you did anything then they have no case and so will have to release you by a judges order. If they do arrest you for some weird fucking reason you can always ask to have your personal info expunged from police records if you havent been convicted and the courts will grant that request.

so you didn't watch the video of the guy standing on public property engaged in a constitutionally protected activity and being arrested without a crime? because that's what happened there
the cop had no authority whatsoever to ask him to move along, and he was under no obligation to comply with that order or provide his ID
after a 2 year legal battle the incident was finally settled a little over a week ago
do you understand the amount of time and money it takes to go through a legal fight for that long? it doesn't matter that he's not guilty, he will never recoup the damages they caused him

stop gargling cop nuts. Back the blue until it happens to you, hopefully you don't accidentally do something perfectly legal on public property and get dragged through the legal system for it.

It works, in 1v1 settings with strict rulesets & engaging opponents. You only get caught in BJJ traps by being reciprocal. Immediately going for the escape is infitely more successful & safe than getting tangled up. That is true regardless of venue. Distance is always safest, always leaves the least options for your opponent because the first thing that has to be done, no matter what the technique, is close the distance. Anyone teaching you to close the distance just to roll around & risk a tap is a fucking fag.

Even though triangle is said to be a very effective and high success rate sub, I think it's movement is not very intuitive, just keep trying and asking your instructor for tips, especially immediately after rolling sessions where you lost a triangle, so you can pinpoint the exact problem

fortunately we have comparatively very few white belts now so ignoring them isn't as much of a problem as it was last year
and many of the blue belts have upgraded to relevance too which is nice

probably have about 12-14 or so consistent white belts out of a school of 80 that's a really good ratio
when you have anywhere from 4-8 black belts on the mat at any given time it's pretty easy to ignore them

I'm a white belt and in my peer group I can tell that there are some people that spar at close to 100% and go wild when they don't know what to do meanwhile I spar with less intensity and don't do movements that I'm just making up. I'm trying to think about things more but I feel like I'm learning slower than my peers and my peers (especially the ones that move wildly) have more success in competition. Should I start going wild in training if I want to learn more or is it generally a better approach to try to only use technique and I just need to not give up?

Anonymous at Sun, 6 Aug 2023 11:18:08 UTC No. 160168

>>160162
The first thing is don't care so much about competition. Your focus should be on learning things and not winning, winning will come after you have done the learning and you are able to have a response for basically all of the common positions and variations. Second of all you need to watch some instructionals, if you arent then your progress will be slow because of the next point. You need to practice intelligent practice, where you go in with a series of moves that you have studied and you try to hit those moves, if you dont then you immediately troubleshoot those problem moves. The more troubleshooting and analysis you do and the more you study your weak points the better and better they will become. You can't go into a session and just "roll" and try and win, you always have to be practising something specific. Tapping your opponent out in training is meaningless unless you are specifically training submissions. Also focus on your bottom game, not because bottom is better but because it is worse, and so becoming an extremely tough nut to crack and being extremely good at escaping from bad positions and advancing from neutral positions turns you into a nightmare and a steamroller wrapped up into one and it gives you the confidence to attack knowing that even if you end up in a bad position you can just escape and return to top position.

Well its possible that those guys were previously wrestlers and they are simply better at scrambling than you. You can go max force in rolling so long as its intelligent, such as in a bridge for example. If youre bridging to get me off im not just gonna fall over for you, you need to fight for that bridge. So that's one thing you can change about your rolling
As for competition like I said if they are better scramblers that would definitely help in comps also. So my suggestion is to find a partner you can trust who is wild like you say, and match their wildness, and find ways you can get someone to train you in wrestling techniques

Judoka here, explosive scrambles are absolutely a useful skill to have even if you don’t yet know what you’re doing. Being able to slow things down and pick your movements carefully is a luxury of training, but you should also be training yourself to explode when necessary. it’s not really a matter of one or the other, you need to train light to learn new stuff and you need to train hard to prepare for the realities of a fight. If your problem is that your training partners aren’t going with the program then tell them in advance whether you want to spar light or hard..

attitude and tactics are the most important component, so yes I'd say philosophy is more important than physics
compare someone who does sport karate vs someone that does krav maga for example
karate will have clean efficient techniques and also be kind of a pussy
compared to krav maga who has basically no technique at all but is nothing but attitude
the krav maga is winning that fight on sheer aggression alone despite being basically a fake martial art
that small test is proof your martial philosophy as in your tactics and mind set are the most important thing
it's also the reason bjj is a shitty fighting art since it's so passive and requires wrestling in order to work

Because bjj only works when the other person is deciding to engage with it
It lacks the ability to actually bring someone down and more importantly hold them down
If a person just decides not to engage with it and keeps retreating its simply not effective, it only has any use when a person is determined to keep moving forward at you like a zombie

And you see it in the athletes too, nobody in wrestling or judo needs to practice something else to be at the top of their sport
Bjj athletes on the other hand all need to spend considerable time in wrestling practice because bjj itself is half baked

Are ADCC weightclasses (<66, <77, <88, <99, >99) made with weight difference fights on mind? If you're 71.5 kg, then cutting to 66 would be very devastating and bulking up to 77 would last several months so I guess a 71.5 grappler is supposed to fight against 77 ones.

There's probably a couple reasons. Total number of competitors, the idea that they're open to wrestlers who are very good at manipulating their weight, and just the easy to remember double numbers. Down the line they may add more, since women just got a new one, they're certainly not against the idea.

For example I stopped attacking at all in the last month and only play defense. If I see an easy sub I do it but besides that I just defend because that's my current focus. Ironically I've gotten more subs than normal because the other guys options have been shut down and he gets sloppy

"Ah, there it is."
I'm extremely annoying and I never quit defending, so it's rarely a surprise when I need to tap. Usually they finally wiggled the right way to line up that last centimeter, or my grip finally gave out or something, so it's not as if I got blindsided.

Frankly I get my ass kicked every single day, so it's not as if tapping out is some novel, ego-shaking event for me. Also, I rigorously force myself to control my breathing and keep my emotions under control. Honestly I would rather get tapped than get spaz out or get riled. I'm OK with being not-very-good at jiujitsu, but it is unacceptable to be an emotionally delicate bitch.

Half the time i dont know what the fuck im doing. I have been doing this for a year, and most moves ive drilled ive forgotten. There is a disconnect between what i know and what i do when rolling, under pressure nothing is like when your are drilling. Any tips? Yesterday i got destroyed by the blue belts.

I had this problem too. What helped was to focus on two or three things and practice only them during rolling, for weeks or even months at a time. Pick for instance one passing technique and two sweeps.
It's easier to remember what to do when you're under pressure if you only have limited options. Just make sure the techniques you pick are high percentage and not something retarded.

It's an old man sport. People retire into bjj because other sports are too difficult as you get older

Bjj is an effective combat sport. Though wrestling may be the most fundamental, bjj is neccesary to elevated ones lethality to the next level.

Think of class as a showcase
It's up to you to work at the things that Interest you, and once you have enough practice on the mat and lose a lot of positions and get tapped enough you should have a feel for good fundamentals
Shit will come naturally
Ie most defenses no matter how strange can be boiled down to some kind of underhooks, some kind of crossface, some kind of your elbows being tucked, with elaborate defensive moves boiling down to a combination of those things
It's like learning how to spell before you can string letters into words, and words into sentences , your body is being taught a language and 1 year in you're only really going to be learning how to form "words" unless you really put a bunch of intensive time, and allow people to put intensive time into you

Honestly it's a crap shoot from there
Our most prominent black belt at our gym claims he'd been getting his ass handed to him for at least 8 years training in NYC before the concept of offense "clicked"
The reality is in my opinion some people never get fluent unless they actively speak the language for a while
So depending on your body type and the distribution of opponents you face, you never know when youll get "fluent"
That said best way to learn imo is get comfortable with fundies, and expose yourself to as many different gyms and their cultures/styles/potential opponents as you can
I feel like you can accelerate your pace whenever you want, it's just limited by your ability to travel and your willingness to find some homies to do some OG garage jiu jitsu

idk which five you're talking about (guessing high bar squat, flat barbell bench, conventional deadlift, standing overhead press, barbell row?) but yeah
you probably have shit lifting technique though by the sounds of it and it takes years to git gud at lifting, if you're not willing to put in the time into one of the most essential fitness skillsets around then just get injured instead and find a good place for sports rehab treatments, will save you time but you'll always be weak and skinny

Somewhere there's someone better at you at something, it's pure hubris and unhealthy to think you're entitled to being good, especially in a 100% relative sport like BJJ
This isn't like weight lifting where it's about absolute weights
You're up against an opponent with a background you can only infer once you get your hands on them
Imo what separates the good from the bad isnt whether or not you're fine with sucking, but whether or not you're fine with losing
It's unhealthy to be happy with sucking, and it's absolutely healthy to accept your losses, if only so you have losses to learn from

again I don't know about the US except I see Tom Deblass hosting seminars for cops; in my country our law enforcement agencies and even the military (part of NATO) usually hire instructors that teach them absolute dogshit "self-defence systems" which anybody with an MMA experience would laugh at.
Unless the US police agencies have standardized contracting of instructors based on a uniform criteria there's probably tons of diversity in terms of what instructors local agencies choose to hire, as the person organizing the seminars or camps is likely just some fat fuck retard woman behind a desk.

Ah yes, the 4 hour annual seminar is certainly enough training for police. From "experts" like George Dillman that made his living doing exactly the kind of seminars you're talking about
Know how I can tell you're not a cop and just a simple boot licker? Because ask any cop and they'll tell you they receive basically no training in hands on
techniques

By the way its not a virtue signal for the benefit of the cops, they've proven through their actions that they're lazy and won't so anything their job doesn't explicitly require
It's for the benefit of community members so the cops stop brutalizing people unnecessarily
They immediately go from hands on to beating the fuck out of passively resisting people with closed fists and tasers. Teaching them to grapple is giving them more tools so don't keep hospitalizing and killing people over misdemeanors and traffic infractions
