1: this is a training technique that the Army does already, multiple fights back to back. 2: competitive BJJ is different from military unarmed self defense differs in aggressiveness in that our job is to finish the fight as fast as possible, often that means breaking contact to gain access to a secondary weapon. Finish the fight, submit or kill the opponent before they the same to us.
Tell me where I’m wrong? A common training technique the Army uses is a bull in the ring type exercise: multiple bouts back to back. Fact is many schools teach this because it works. Next is that BJJ competitions are about points, same problem with competitive karate. Points goals have ruined modern karate because they pull punches. The reality is competitive BJJ is a game. For soldiers it’s for keeps.
@@soonerfrac4611 “it’s for keeps”. You’re coming off as a tool. Soldiers have combatives tournaments too, also based on points. You can search for them on this very website. Plus you can’t name a single time where a Soldier had to use grappling to save his life. Stop coming off as a 19 year old POG.
@gzaos tap early and often, no egos in the training room. If the amount of money on the line doesn't easily cover medical costs and time away from work, it ain't worth it 🤣
Hey I love how you showed the black belt respect by rolling on his terms, and found a way to end the day on a positive. Big ups to you and to these warriors
@@dogperson432 here's the video when it happened. I wasn't able to do anything for two weeks, then after that about two more of just instruction with no rolls. After that I was cautiously back to rolling. Full recovery was over two months but I had to be careful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mlfz8V15o9U.html
I love how descriptive you are with your moves and flaws. It’s super helpful for beginners like me. I’m an MMA beginner and i find your videos really useful ❤️.
I am a 60 year old beginner with a replaced knee so I cannot roll like this anymore, but I love watching your videos and love how technical you are. I learn a lot watching you work...I just can't do it LOL.
DAV blue belt here, training at the Farm in Greeley. Just got a friend signed up thru WE DEFY. Thank you for your commitment to veterans. Its been cool watching your growth from purple belt. I may never get my purple, but i will die tryin.....
You've got yourself a new sub. The humor alone is worth a sub. I started in November after years of Karate and thinking about Jiu Jitsu but not acting on it. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and learning from you!!!
If you can maneuver like that BJJ is great for you I mean anybody can do it after a while. I'm a 42 year old white belt who couldn't pop up doing a combat stance now I can a little after consistently practicing and rolling.
Thanks for doing this. I'm a veteran myself and didn't even know about this org. I've been training in jiu-jitsu for the past year and by far has been the most helpful out of anything I've done with the Department of Veterans.
I’m brand new to jujitsu about a month in and that’s the first video I saw of your account from a production standpoint it’s absolutely amazing. I love your commentary. But the thing that I like the best about it is it’s entertaining but I’m also able to learn through watching because you provide the teaching level commentary.
Check with that guy that popped his knee. I had the same thing happen. Big pop, no pain. It was my LCL. Didn’t hurt, very stiff the next day though. That was probably 6 months ago and I am pretty much 95% good now, except sometimes when I lock up triangles there is pain. Just check on him! No harm in getting getting checked up at the doc
Im a 1 stripe white belt, with a 100% Disability rating through the VA for PTSD. I applied. Stopped training last year for a while for many reasons but would love to get back into it. Really hoping the We Defy org can help. Thank you so much for sharing that and for the opportunity to get back into training! My old training journal is a little dusty.... =)
I give no opportunity .. im not flashing I have to many injuries judo jiu jitsu... I give no chance for movement . I have bad back starting therapy for soon. thank you good remarks.
@@tntgdh 50.. I roll everyday . ask jedi how I roll. but I do have chiped bone on my back that I will be therapy soon. but jiu jitsu really didn't do the damage but judo did .
Great video & work you put out there on the mats but also with the editing! 😎 also love how you throw in some love for us veterans - I won't speak for all veterans but I sure do know I appreciate someone genuine as yourself, keep thriving brother.
Fun fact. If you want to gain flexibility to the point of executing Lotus Pose properly with a straight back, you will have to pop both your knees multiple times. It happens in a different way and under your own control but man is it bone chilling the first time it happens.
Can’t appreciate enough the fact you add the alert on the video! I recently popped my ankle pretty bad so I’m a little sensitive to see that kind of stuff. Thanks!
That military purple & brown belt must have been on leave for 12 months with that hair…..uh I see later you say vets 🇺🇸good on you for the We Defy shout out. Man…watching all these guys makes me realize just how bad my jiu jitsu sucks. Not like I don’t get a reminder every time I go to class
Im only a white belt. But a guy i beefed with in HS saw me at a gym. He opened his arms so i was expecting it was a bury the hatchet hug. Nope football tackled me. Next thing i knew i was on top with a guillotine like the one from saturdays undercard. I was shocked how fluid it was. I mention this because he was a marine. They’ve got a little to much confidence in the military hand to hand combat
When I read vs 5 military guys, I was thinking military guys with basic military hand to hand combat.. but should have known that would be like a 5 min video, or maybe that they'd all be going after you at once lol. These guys are competent and train, good video
Man, im glad I discovered your youtube channel not so long ago, just when I started 3 weeks ago with Bjj. It's really cool you comment every single detail of each roll you are into. I was wondering what is your view about bjj and injuries. I got myself a fucked up finger and got a scary moment with my shoulder in just 3 weeks of doing jj, do people really fuck up themselves their knees/necks/backs that easy? or only when going ape mode without being cautious? Thanks bro.
hey bro ive tried to craft an injury free style. I never invert and live by the saying tap early tap often. i also give up positions that people are really fighting for. when it becomes a strength vs strength competition is when most injuries occur, opt to lose those in service of your body. also dont roll with guys who are much heavier, espeically if theyre new
Really like that you in real (video) time explain your thought process, much like a chess match. Thanks, very educational for us low level ground and pounders. QUESTION: do you think if eye attacks and groin or neck attacks were allowed that that would change the way the ground game would go? I ask only because being a stand up guy mostly with limited ground skills I've found that sudden attacks/grabs to groin, eyes and neck have gotten me out of dangerous situations.
Just had microdisecomy on my back.. I feel the old dudes pain.. young guys believe me warm ups are so important and core muscles.. once have disc problems. It's lifelong..
This makes me wanna take jiujitsu. I have bad anxiety though and hard cardio sometimes sends me into a panic. I'd like to find a class where it's just easy technical teaching without going right into heavy cardio.
I was in the same situation, I was afraid to push my body to the maximum because I had some extrasystoles that made me very scared. Luckily with antidepressant medication I was able to control it and I have been doing jiu jitsu without any problems for almost a year now. I still warn you that rolling requires a lot of cardio.
With proper training partners you can go as hard as you want to. I sometimes have super soft flow rolls, especially with the girls, and then sometimes I have those head-grinding bear-fights with former wrestlers.
You can go to classes that just go through the technique. You don't have to roll like this if you don't want to, but if you do, the more experienced guys will just go at your pace. Get in touch with local gyms and see if they offer beginner classes.
You can do it! Great advice in the other comments. A good instructor and experienced students should be able to teach you techniques and let you control the level of roughness. BJJ should be about training, learning in a safe environment and everyone needs to respect the Tap. You got this.
I dont know what the gyms are like around you. But at Gracie gyms in the UK they start with GB1 for beginners that doesnt feature hard rolling, just specifics where you put techniques you've learnt into practice. GB1 will teach you a bit of fitness, self defence and fundamentals I highly recommend it! GB2 will intoduce more advanced techniques and rolling but you never have to roll if you're not comfortable or just explain to people you want to roll light and most people will roll at your pace. The majority of people I have met training BJJ have all been very nice, understanding and willing to help out. Hope you find something!
I know your nice at Joy Jitsu, Little Wrestling tip- when some one has a single leg on you put the leg in between their’s and then get an underhook, when they pressure in Roll backwards and you will end up on top. This was one of my favorite counters I’ve ever learned if you hit it just right you could get a gulliotine when you get on top.
Dudes knee was forsure messed up the next day. Had the exact pop happen to me, was fine to continue an hour+ long open mat with absolutely zero issue… theeennn the next morning knee was stiff and unstable. Grade 1 LCL tear.
