Nope, I'll never be in one of those videos. But from time to time I've been in the background of one of the promo videos covering Garry or Eddie prepping for competition.

Caught a brown belt in a darce choke yesterday as a white belt. He's very good with lots of competitive success and naturally had tapped me like 10 times in the same roll but drat did it still feel good. And yeah I'm aware he might have been going easy on me.

He gave it to you. The gulf between white and brown is so wide and deep that you’ll need years of training to even perceive it.

I've gotten brown and black belts with some leg attacks and I've snuck a d'arce from bottom side on a couple guys as well. I've also had a white belt bow & arrow me

I tried drilling the DLR leglock transition that was posted but still have a really hard time wrapping my head around it. Mainly its the final transition to get the triangle on the far leg not wrapped by my arm. I kept somehow causing my partner to go to the floor on my right side (started from DLR with my left leg doing the wrap up). Do i just roll straight back to do the final leg triangle?

If you've got some spare cash the Craig Jones leglock DVD teaches a variation of that technique and he talked about a few other details that I found helpful.

I caught one of our black belts in a straight ankle lock a few weeks back and he looked totally surprised. He was cool about it though. We had a little talk about switching from the body to the legs after that. I dont think you should have to worry if you catch an upper belt in something as long as there are no egos.

My crowning glory was getting a left handed osoto gari on a brown belt when I was a yellow belt. Absolutely drilled him perfectly, he almost went through the mat. He was in shock and stared at me for a few seconds before shaking my hand and proceeding to further randori. Never caught him again with anything.

I caught a black belt once in a crucifix strangle (using a control detail he taught me, to boot) after he started the roll from turtle. The sequence unfolded with him kinda moving in an "I'm ok... I'm ok... oh poo poo he's better from this position than I expected" way. I have one guy who I've only gotten once ever (out of over a thousand rolls); I caught him with a calf crank from the truck when he thought I was going for a back take. In both cases I got totally, effortlessly, smashed afterwards.

My favorite thing is when someone much less experienced "catches" me in something because I'm going <50% with them and then takes that as their cue to start coaching me about how to defend the sub or whatever.

My favorite catch is when I catch an elbow to the face when I give a new guy a Kimura/Bump Sweep as a sort of "Here you go, you don't get to practice moves often so try this." Teach me to be generous.

God that poo poo is so cringeworthy. I only started giving tips to the white belts after I trained for over 3 years and it always the most absolute basic stuff. Didn't want to step on the instructors toes. But stuff like 'slide your feet, don't step' is pretty universal.

I made my professor tap. It was about two days after he got heel hooked by Craig Jones in a match and he was kicking his leg up to my hip to pull guard but his foot got caught in my pants leg. It still counts

Tacos Al Pastor posted:(Its a sure tap from the pain) Typically done if someone takes my back but they done have their hooks in quite properly. I was shown this move from one of the FPJJ black belts who came up to visit from Sao Paulo. That move has been talked about already but I had to post cus I trained with Paulo and Adam down there at SDBJJ for a long time 7 or 8 years ago, back when Adam was a blue belt. It's always funny when Paulo brings those Sao Paulo black belts to show stuff cus while they're legit black belts they sometimes show "tough guy" moves that would only really work on untrained beginners. Almost like it's self-defense stuff, nothing that you could use in competition. That sounds like one of those tough guy moves... Kinda fun to know but ultimately useless since an untrained beginner shouldn't be taking your back in the first place. Jerome Louis fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Back when I was a purple belt, I was more enthusiastic about coaching my lower ranked training partners but I generally don't do so nowadays as a black belt. I realized I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I also didn't want to be condescending. So I'll provide tips if asked and will also volunteer tips if the person is completely lost or doing something fundamentally wrong but generally won't do so otherwise. I once showed up to an afternoon gi class without my gi so I had to borrow a gi and a white belt (if they don't have a spare belt of the correct color, you have to wear a white. You can't just knock yourself down a rank). I got paired up with a blue belt who spent his time helpfully coaching me through the moves. When we got to finally rolling, I took it easy on him but shut him down. I could see him getting madder and madder. When we got done rolling, he told me that I was pretty good for a white belt. I replied, "Thanks."

Just out of curiosity, how big are the classes you're normally in? The gym I go to has a morning, afternoon, and evening class. They average around 4, 8, 30 people (with a lot of the same people from the earlier classes coming in the later classes too). Are there bjj gyms with so many people you don't all know each other?

We have more than a thousand students just at the main academy. Classes vary in size from 20 for the smallest classes to 60-80 for the largest. I'm morning only for the past decade so many of the lower belts in the afternoon or evening won't know who I am although the black belts do.

I'm guessing multiple people walking around, or something? I now feel pretty lucky that an 1 1/2 class usually involves a roll, or two, with the instructor to work on stuff.

I was just curious if there was a name for this move ever since Stefano showed it to me  I dont think I would use it in competition either.

Yuns posted:Typically a main instructor and an assistant instructor except John doesn't use assistant instructors. Instructors don't typically roll with students in class. It wouldn't be fair since they need to observe and give feedback to the class. Zed will sometimes roll if someone doesn't have a partner. Must be a huge gym. I'm jealous.

I was rolling with "the leg-locking guy" at my gym tonight. We were trading top/bottom SLX starting positions. From either spot he was quickly forcing us to 50/50, then 80/20, then inside heel hook. I felt pretty clueless from all the positions. Once we hit 50/50 I felt inclined to try to rotate towards my free leg and wedge it behind his butt to try and pull my knee free but I was getting no where and then he'd point out that he'd scooped my heel and it was a good time to tap. In other words I don't know what to do with my feet or legs. Or hands.

I was finally able to get the Danaher thing correctly with a resistanceless partner but man is it counterintuitive to what I think I should do with that position. The Craig Jones and Danaher DVDs are in my "To buy" list assuming I don't blow all my money going home for Christmas or get kidnapped by the North Koreans while in China.

Craig jones doesn't talk about that position much. But you could get it to see how he opens the legs from that position. Also, do you open your legs or does he open them up against your will? In general you want to keep your feet closed together until you've got something of your own but I'm sure the meta changed since Ryan Hall's DVD came out.

Went to BJJ for the first time last night since the rib explosion. I wasn't able to do as much as I hoped after the warm up - just helped the instructor demo and walk new people through positions. Right now I can do anything that doesn't involve direct pressure on that quadrant of my torso, but the unpredictability of rolling is too much. So when drills started I sat on the side and watched mostly, and did a bit of detail/theory talk with one of the senior belts when that was happening.

That's how my ribs felt after I felt a pop while rolling with a purple belt. (no bone or cartilage damage, just a weird popping of the muscle). I found a roam roller after like 2 weeks and some icy hot helped things a lot. Also ice pack while laying on my back watching TV at night was also pretty helpful. Hope your body doesn't die on you.

I take that to heart, but there are a couple of guys who seem to really go 100% and do stuff before I realize what's happening. There's one guy in our gym I just flat out refuse to train/roll with. If a professor pairs us up I just say no. If I can't count on the black belt to look out for me I'll do it myself until I get better.
