At Bellingham BJJ, we love jiu-jitsu - and we want you to love jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu trains us to find the best, most efficient and effective ways to do things. Everybody has different goals in life, and we should all want to help our training partners reach their goals, using this powerful martial art as a tool. Your goals might be to defend yourself better, to compete in high-level events, or just to get in better shape while having fun and learning. All of these are great goals, and jiu-jitsu can help you reach every one of them.
We're located in beautiful downtown Bellingham, Washington and you can learn more at BellinghamBJJ.com.
Formerly, we were Dirty White Belt (the podcast). We still intend to produce podcast episodes, but videos for the school are the priority now!
Very awesome. I love seeing humble martial artist get promoted. These BJJ belt promotion videos on RU-vid are some of the most tear-jerking, heart-warming videos out there.
Do you ever get a situation where the next class enters in and the mat hasn't completely dry from the soap solution? I experienced that before at a gym and it was kinda gross.
@@BellinghamBJJ I found it and am working my way through the books now. Thanks if you are ever on Long Island and want to train you are welcome at Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu. Home of Teddy Roosevelt
At 2:40, that makes if competing in a sport situation but what about a street altercation where a knife could be pulled on you? I would think the eyes should be keeping track of the hands at all times.
I love when they go for a headlock or better yet guillotine, I can than pull some magic that most people unless you grapple never see coming called a von flue choke counter. I catch a lottttt of people in it during practice. That does work what this guy is explaining may work on some body types and strengths. I remember early on in jiujitsu I learned all you have to do is throw your right arm of their shoulders and most of the time that works too.
Your self defense techniques have been great- very useful and real world effective. I can see this this “hand on the shoulder” scenario happening with a man vs a woman, but with a man vs man scenario wouldn’t a quick reach and grab with the bad guy’s left (since 90% of us are right-handed) followed immediately by a big right-handed punch, either straight or hook, to the face or jaw be a lot more likely? Would this technique or some modification of it work then?
Thanks for the comment and the question! It's a good question. If they try to strike us, we still have two hands to defend with a rhino block or other strike defense. Also, if we commit to the technique, we can get a strong degree of control very quickly -- remember that Jon Jones did this to Glover Texeira in the middle of an MMA fight. You're wise to always be thinking about strikes, though: They do change things are are always worth considering.
Great instruction, very clear as to what to do - thanks. Would have been much better if the audio wasn't a bit echoey / reverberative though! Wireless Mics are a godsend
37:00 there are some great army training films from the 1930's about Judo combatatives here on YT. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fokgKov31Uc.html
These tutorials have been great. Excellent concept communication to explain why the underhooks, frames, etc work in each technique. I'm getting a lot out of it. FYI. Around 2:48, there's missing text. It says "Title Text Here"
The thought experiment where you ask what would have happened if Maeda's school in New York was successful and America became the centre for Jiu-jitsu in the West. I'd say there a good chance that they would have been absorbed by the Kodokan and end up teaching standard Judo just like what happened to guys like Yukio Tani in the UK.
