5 Ways Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Changed My Life 

Big time watcher. As a friend and a medic I should Inform you that Covid is mostly bullshit. They had the PCR set ridiculously high so it gave an extreme number of positives and used it as an excuse to lock everyone down. As for the deaths they ran Nursing Homes like death camps. They had "Covid Units" ofcourse for positive patients. But let's say grandma falls in the Nursing Home they will send her to the ER give her a covid test she'll show negative. Then she will be x-rayed if nothing is wrong they send her back to the Nursing Home. However now they will put her IN the Covid Unit even with a negative test. For a mandatory 2 weeks. This ofcourse puts them at a MUCH HIGHER risk of catching the virus because you have them surrounded by Covid positive patients with the same nursing staff going in and out of the rooms back and forth. After 2 weeks she will be returned to the General Population of the Nursing Home. The virus incubates and then she spreads Covid. I brought up how insane this was to a Nursing Home staff member I was told they were "following orders from corporate" that Nursing Home had 13 patients die. And that was over a year ago. But now in all honesty I haven't seen a positive case here in Texas near Austin the capital for almost 2 MONTHS. Not a single one. And even then I only saw 1 person die with it and they died of a stroke they were 94 and a vegetable.... She was listed as a Covid death. I figure they were trying to kill off everyone on Medicaid and old vets with their government funded Veterans Insurance.

Patience grasshopper

Make friends with a Prep'er y'all. No one gets out'a life alive, it's all about comfort and living on ones own terms. Woke'ness and Critical Racisim Theory is going to drive us to kill each other or ourselves. We can not live together if everyone is being fed hate and victim hood every minute of every day.

what about your necklace in this video? talk about it?

YOUR WORDS ARE VERY TRIED AND TRUE!! NICELY APPLIED!! TY ♡♡♡

You overthink man you think that everytime you do something because you think everytime keep that shit to yourself

holy shit the simplicity in this is quite fucking interesting.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS

I find this comment very profound; "the enemy is within" and the external, physical opponent is merely the instructor. Nicely stated. 😊👍

I became a fan of BJJ after watching Royce Gracie defeat opponents much bigger and stronger than him in UFC back in the day.

Just finished watching Cobra Kai last night and your comment made me realise this is the core message of the whole show

@@rrobindeleeuw yeah it was the message from the original “karate kid” too. Good movie if you haven’t seen it.

@@leopers9225 Followed by the liver king diet shortly after.

…until he finds women and alcohol, guide him to his greatness.

@@GG-mx9fj fingers crossed. We have a lot of conversations about the influences he has and will see. He asks a lot of questions and we have a great relationship. Hopefully he’ll stay strong.

Awww that’s great, I’m sure you are very proud. Great job raising him.

​@@oisinvg Steroids?

Good on you

Lol, maybe the funniest thing I ever read. True too, lol!

Great description. That about sums it up. The art of being folded 1000 times before you fold any laundry of your own.

In my limited experience, you just got to get top of the other guy and then beat the hell out of him

@@upgrayedd6023 Its more of a chess match. Your looking for check mate while inflicting the least amount of damage as possible

@@mcmaldek Yes, but i’d rather know how to get back up to my feet

Your a legend Jeff

Jeff Glover!! Respect 🤜🏽🤛🏽

💪🤙

No way, Jeff Glover. Awesome

The man, the legend. Jeff Glover!

very interesting insight, thanks.

I'd love to see some evidence or a source supporting this?

BJJ is AKA aggressive cuddling

may i ask how old you are

Started last week, already had more human touch from bjj then my entire life haha

He has always been a person of substance. 😄

Interestingly its young women who need to learn how to defend themselves even more than young men as the statistics for assault and murder of women is horrifyingly high, their need for empowerment is at least as great if not greater than young mens.

@@zantecarroll4448 I think you are missing the point. Young men and their roles have been so diminished in modern society that they have no idea where they fit in and certainly are not as equipped as young women in terms of NON-physical self-defence. This is not about assault or threat thereof. This is about how young men have been deprived of paths to manhood. Many have missed an essential part of their development. A pathetic consequence of the social engineering going on nowadays. By all means, learn to defend yourself. But please do not seek to dilute the very real problem of what is happening to our young men nowadays. Little of it is positive.

@@zantecarroll4448 statistically men are at bigger risk of violence than women so your point goes out the window

The world needs this right now.

Hope you're back at it and taking necks! Stay strong dude

@@iamrathercool12121 thank you 🙏😊

You’re not alone mate

I think a lot of people felt this. The meditative and escapism element of rolling left a huge hole in many peoples lives over lockdown when they had nothing to 'get lost' in for a few hours. Live sparring arts consume the brain like no other sport, the feeling that you have forced your will upon another fully resisting person or had the same done to you all whilst mentally trying to solve an ever changing puzzle creates a whole host of primal and intellectual bodily responses that the body/brain must learn to crave like a drug.

Same for me...my anxiety went thru the roof.

"raw"

aka!

And Love to all my sisters.❤🌱❤

First maleist (partner of feminist) that I’ve ever heard. Nice.

@Johnston Wang 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Or maybe he is doing so many different activities in his life that it is not his only hobby and he is not training like a pro. Let's be honest, everyone has his own learning curve. These days it is quite rare to gain belts too quickly as long as you are not an active competitor or prodigy. Other than that, Gracie curriculum is quite different from other Brazilian Jiu jitsu associations and from what I heard these schools are starting teachings from basic self-defence stuff, which is probably taking some time to learn.

@@1millioncicades183 I'm in a Gracie school as a white belt. They have a structure, curriculum-based approach that really appeals to folks like me who like to see things from a big picture standpoint. My first time trying BJJ was in 2016 and the "throw you to the wolves" mentality of just showing up and getting your ass kicked for months on end with no real idea of what the road ahead looks like really pushed me away and I quit after about 6 months. I started at a local Gracie gym about 8 months ago and it's totally different. You have to go through a fundamentals, self-defense based curriculum called Combatives that you have to test out of in order to go to the Master Cycle classes where you actually roll. So next month I'm planning to test out of Combatives, and while I'm totally prepared to get my ass handed to me once I start rolling, having 30 or so fundamental techniques in my tool chest gives me a much greater sense of preparedness and I actually am looking forward to the challenge, whereas before I just felt overwhelmed and aimless.

@@Away.Aweigh.A.Way. oh for sure it can be useful in some way, there is a chance that you will at least have a nice basic takedown in your toolbox and more courage. I mean there is nothing wrong with it, as long it won't take you too much time. Most useful things I still learned from sparrings and bjj scout ;) Personally I liked the daily grind and being "thowed to the wolves" from day one but it probably depends on trust on people you are rolling with, their will to help you, your mindset and age. Youngsters have easier time learnings things hard way :)

Hmmm... 7 months not a stripe. Now I'm not sure if it is just that I suck lol

@@jsealejandro06 Don't worry about stripes, they are not meaningful. But it is good to try some competition from time to time, you will probably get stripes quicker and it will raise your confidence. In my own opinion it is a good idea to treat bjj as a RPG game, you need to learn one skill at time and polish it through process of smart drilling, analyzing it in your brain, training and competition. It is rather slow but very rewarding. Other than that, don't be afraid to ask your coach on what you should work at the moment.

I have this problem where I look intimidating but im actually a sweetheart, so no one wants to engage anyway. It gets lonely. ✌🏼🤘🏼

Jiu Jitsu is the best ! 🔥

100% agree with you its healthy to be able to lose and still see the lesson in it. Nothing like a check to your ego to remind you just how human you are on any given day.

plus the sweat factor

@@levi-5th a check to the ego for someone a little (or far) too sure of themself, but also a great way for more timid people to build self confidence.

@@wolfpackpete6408 Absolutely. Best part of teaching is seeing the growth in the students.

@Gorgeous George there's certainly truth in what you're saying. A grappling type martial art is only realistically useful for 1vs1. In a 1vs1 though, the coordination and technique (skill) can overcome a stronger opponent. So a false sense of confidence isn't completely true, this will depend on the maturity of each individual. About the powerful guys... lifting strength doesn't automatically convert to hitting hard. Welterweight fighters who've trained for years, hit a lot harder than the average big guys that aren't trained fighters. Running is still a good idea if the option's available though. I do believe though that men who are genuinely among the hardest, don't go around starting fights. Partly because they've got nothing to prove, and because if they did, they'd end up in prison quickly. It's a bit like if a chihuahua on a leash is barking, snarling and wanting to attack someone... it won't even get reported because it's not a serious threat. If a big dog behaves like that, it is likely to get put down.

Bravo! Keep up the good fight. You are not alone.

Same here. So glad I found BJJ

BJJ was the only thing I needed to be more social and reduce anxiety.

16 and handle adult male bluebelts, think that is a bit of an overstatement.

@@ryanwilkins7080 he shooting for the moon

@@Will-xl7xp lol

that's a lethal trio of martial arts.

BJJ *and* Muay Thai? My friend, your daughters are prepared to defend themselves from anyone. They're walking, living weapons. That's the perfect martial art combination. That's awesome! I hope to see more young ladies take up the sport(s). They're more than fighting, they're therapy.

I was in this same situation. I have severe anxiety and after my first few classes, I started going less and less... Then I was about to cancel my membership. My professor emailed me and told me he just wants to see me get my blue belt, then he said I can leave without giving me shit. After that, I stayed there for over 4 years. BJJ really helped me overcome a lot of obstacles in my life. Even to this day, no matter what the situation, it's taught me there's always a way out of a shitty situation/issue in my life. Actually looking into getting back into it, just for the comradery.

I hope you get back there and overcome your struggles, I can relate. Namaste 🙏❤️

Go back sooner than later, I periodically took years off at a time for the same reason and all the people I grew training with progressed by miles and are brown belts now while I'm still working my way back up to blue belt. Pretty painful and its not worth regretting later so stare that dragon down and get back in the loop.

Kudos! I pray you never give up the fight.

I understand this. Can you surrender to the crapness you feel and try and get 6 months under your belt without questioning anything of it?

It's a really great choice for a first martial art. Congrats on your decision!

I hope you find a teacher and club that suits you. Don’t worry about belts, just keep turning up at least 2 x a week. Best wishes to you.

Best of journeys to you! Do your best to leave your ego at the door it won’t enjoy what is to come. Also in training tap sooner and more frequently (hard to do when ego is present). Not only will you get exposed to more positions and possibilities faster but your joints will thank you.

dont give up!! no matter how hard it is! one of the best life choice ever for me

Some tips for your first class. 1. Always walk with your arms far from your body and chest puffed out to show you are self confident. 2. Challenge the instructor in a manner that shows skepticism to his ability. They won't put rank on someone who is too shy to pick a fight. 3. Work on a celebration dance and use it any time you achieve a submission. It shows character. 4. Always brag about your progression. People need to know you are proud. 6. If someone catches you in a submission and makes you tap make sure you have a good excuse why. It helps to create a mind map of excuses so you can rattle them off without hesitation. Make a point to mention that things would be different if it was a real fight. 7. Never be calm or slow. Always use as much strength as possible and make plenty of erratic movements. 8. Constantly interrupt the instructor during a technique and question the validity of every movement. It shows critical thinking. 9. Avoid rolling with people who you know can beat you so you can maintain your image. 10. Don't shower and make sure you have very long fingernails.

True

35 and looking to begin 😅

I started at 36 and it’s the best thing I ever done.

I'm 39 and I've been training in bjj for 2 years now and I love it!

I was 29 when I started and I could honestly say that if I didn't start then my 30s - I turn 40 in a couple months - would have been a lot less fruitful, both health-wise and in my personality traits and ability to manage real life adult issues.

Who in Storror does bjj? I'm gonna guess Josh

Storror BJJ crossover episode?

Toby can definitely catpass straight to an armbar

Yo whatt wassup storror

Wtf are you doing here

He does things that other famous people are not willing to do because it will affect their cashflow.

@@NotAverageAnymore yeah. That is so true man🙌

can't believe there are now scammers in the comments pretending to be Russell :(

I’m seeing so much bullshit and people falling for so many lies but Russell is either the best Trojan horse or he’s sincerely self aware and cares about society. Most people he speaks with I question like Jordan Peterson both seem polar opposites as Peterson lacks self awareness

Very true, every time I listen to his videos it’s like ‘are you living my life’ he just seems to know what I need to hear. I trained in martial arts, best thing I ever did the fine tuning it does to your spirit, body and confidence can never be learnt through any other art.

I've recently officially started training although I've been dropping in for the last 2 years because they're in my gym. In our BJJ club there's only one girl and she survived for pretty long, they usually give up in a few months. It's a high testosteroe chauvinistic environment which tends to be pretty toxic for girls. I'm sorry it's that way because she's really nice but it's hard to survive it as a girl, wouldn't wish it on any of my female friends.

its practically an anti rape art. highly effective. if i ever have daughters it would be mandatory.

@@dejangegic sorry to hear that. My club is the opposite, very welcoming and the men are all gentleman who are happy to roll with women. That might explain why there's a lot of women at my club. I think the values of the club are a reflection on the coaches. If they are chauvinists, so will the men they teach. Is there another club in your area?

I’ve got an introductory class next week. I’m excited and nervous and definitely a woman. I’ve always wanted to learn Martial Arts and am lucky enough to have moved close to a Gracie BJJ studio. Wish me luck, patience and enough confidence to continue, please! 😁🍀

@@michellegm9092 you'll do fine.If its a good club they'll be patient with their beginners like mine is. Enjoy!

How has it been going??????

@@Steve-jg5dp Honestly? It has changed my life 100%. I do 5 sessions a week. Got my first stripe, lost 14lbs, met countless new mates and my confidence and fitness has soared. I broke my big toe yesterday though but I wont let that stop me!! My professor has said next month I can join the advanced classes.

So will my daughter.

@LittlefootwithAlopecia I would like to read your comment...I self thought jujitsu and other fighting techniques to prevent bullying and found myself looking for fights.I chose a different path then what is discussed here.

Will change your life. Just be sure to research a good school and instructor. Some can be a complete joke.

Do it,

Get amongst it Brad

I highly recommend it. It’s the best thing I ever done and never looked back.

The only regret you will have if you try it is not doing it sooner.

Polish or polish ? :D BIG difference
