I'm an extreme newbie beginner but it was hard for me to tell if I was doing the sweep drill correctly, she was so light. Also I guess I'm a bit apprehensive about squashing them as I am a big dude at 215.

I'm sure that the girl isn't exactly stoked on drilling with a fat 1 month white belt every day either.

In BJJ you're gonna have to go with people lighter with you, and if you're above 200 you're gonna have to do it a lot. Get used to it, and look on it as an opportunity to work on precision.

Yeah I had a flashback to 8th grade, getting picked last for kickball. Everyone partnered up quick and we were the ones left.

Here's a thought. Who's she most likely to use BJJ against in a real life application? Yep, your creepy 215lbs rapist rear end. Let her learn.

Being a flexible girl can be like a BJJ cheat code. I'll be like "rad I have her heel... ok, pressure pass, move around into side control and... how the gently caress am I in her full guard again?" It's like grappling against an M.C. Escher drawing.

We have a female brown belt that I loving hate rolling against. I can not create a space small enough to contain her.

There are a few guys bigger than me who train at the fundamentals class at my gym, including a couple big fat dudes. I'd really like to work with them but they always seem to pair up with the smallest person.

I had a question about grappling cardio. My normal cardio is decent, my grappling cardio is much less so. In the past week or so I've made a point to roll more and take less breaks during open mats, I was wondering if that could be counter productive at a certain point? Today I was completely shot at the end and just poorly defending, I was thinking maybe I should roll up to the point of being extremely tired but maybe not completely gassed for two more rolls.

Just my two cents. But keep rolling till you're dead while trying to focus on technique and breathing. Once you're dead, keep rolling. The fact you won't rely on your strength could make you work on your technique even more. Even if you mostly only get passed because you're completely gassed.

Roll more, focus on technique and timing and don't rely on your strength as much.

Rolling at 10th planet Burbank was a blast. First time trying a no gi class. Applied a lot of the stuff I learned from watching Stephan Kesting videos and at least I know now that pulling guard is a thing that you do and it keeps you from getting owned instantly. I did tap some younger dude like 5 times but that's probably not fair because I think I just brute forced the poo poo out of him. All the dudes I rolled with seemed stoked after which is also new, I guess not getting owned immediately is helping. soy fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jun 7, 2016 |

I used to think I had great grappling cardio but the reality is that I'm just really lazy when I train so I don't expend much energy and I outlast most people Cons: I get tapped a lot Pros: It's funny when I come up against my teammates in competitions because they think they have my number until I annihilate them with nerd rage

So this is a potentially interesting idea: RollTec Grappling: The first wearable made for grapplers. It seems pretty basic so far - it only supports four basic positions and merely calculates the time spent in each one. I mean, I'm not sure how it's going to help a guard player to become a better grappler by spending some more time in mount, on the other hand it's probably more geared towards beginners or intermediates rather than Literally Marco Garcia. Maybe as a proof of concept and with some more development time it could lead to something more?

As another white belt who lived/lives still on pure strength and athleticism to survive, I find that I don't actually start using technique until I'm exhausted. When I'm fresh I'll try something, get destroyed, use all my energy and strength to survive, look at the clock realize I still have 4:00 left, freak out, hope he submits me because I feel like I'm going to die, then start trying to focus on using technique and as little energy as possible to create space and survive. This is how every rolling session typically goes for me. When I started I felt like death with 5:30 left, now it's down to 2:00 until I feel like death, so I'm definitely progressing and learning to relax and be more efficient. It just takes time... And a lot of suffering... Lots and lots of beginner suffering.

I'd say I'd be training the same if I was in a similar situation, but probably not. Still takes a good training ethic. I'm less than five miles away from my school and barely get there three times a week (although the 8:30pm start time for classes doesn't help either).

I'm really glad I spent 2+ years doing strength and conditioning before starting BJJ because even with that it's pretty tiring. But more than that I'm glad I spent a lot of time building up my ligament/joint/whatever and mobility from lifting/gymnastics because as a beginner I feel like I could get injured really easily without all that... Which at this point, is my major concern alongside figuring out basic defenses and escapes and at least identifying when I'm in a position to attack. It kinda seems from my small sample size that 10th planet is pretty rough in the rolling and as a beginner might be a little more likely to end up injured.

I'm in a pickle. I love grappling, been at it for over a decade now on and off, but there aren't a lot of options where I currently live. The last guys I trained with promoted a familial environment, but it quickly became clear that (with one or two exceptions) they were just trying to win at all costs every training, and they were constantly talking poo poo behind each other's backs. On top of that, when I hosed up my knee I discovered that they didn't even have the basic medical supplies, had to ask for a cup of ice from the restaurant next door. Now after a long rehab I decided to come back and try a new place that's popped up. BB instructor is chill, but it's weird. The mats don't get washed, and when I asked if he was concerned about staph he just shrugged. It's a small group cause the program's still so new, and he makes a point of asking me what I want to train, but doesn't listen to my response at all. Yesterday, at his prompting, I asked about back takes from top and so he showed us the basic halfguard to reguard sequence? Today again he starts class asking what I want to do, so I asked if I might get a chance to work on spinning behind vs underhook escapes from side control, and he's like 'yeah cool!' and then just had us work the standard mount escape for the whole time. At 45m in everyone seemed super bored and there was a pause, so I'm like 'hey do you think I could try that spin behind thing i was talking about?' and he said sure, I did it once really slow and careful in case he was worried it was too dangerous or wacky, and he's just like 'yeah man that's perfect you've got it!' and starts us back onto mount escapes/retention (which he acknowledges I have down). And there's no open mat after class or anything, so it's not like I can just wait it out and then grab someone to drill with. And of course I do my best to develop my game while rolling, but obviously there's some stuff that you just need to drill and perfect before it's gonna work live. tldr, I feel like the 'instruction' around here is actually holding me back. I know that there are lots of ways I could tighten up my game, and I know what kind of stuff I enjoy learning/doing, but I don't get any time to work on any of it, just constant newbie drills and fights to the death. Anyone got any creative solutions? I hate feeling like I'm paying these guys to waste my time. A Wry Smile fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Do you have any friends you could set up a garage gym with? You could probably make decent progress with a few hundred dollars worth of mats and a couple of good dvds until a better option pops up.

Rorion's idiot shithead kids are getting rid of online blue belts (replacing it with a white belt with a blue stripe) and are requiring their white belts to have at least a year of rolling experience before they can test for blue belts now. Good.
