I’ve got an idea for a jiu jitsu instructional: Jiu Jitsu FOR big people. That being said, I recently lost 20lbs and am no longer in the 200+ club so now I’m here. 🤣🤣
Beautiful and useful!! I quote professor " Better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war. " I don't know if you came up with that, but Brilliant!!
This quote has stuck with me for a while now, it is one of my favorites. I don't believe there is an original author attribution but it certainly isn't me :) Thank you for the kind words.
Do you have more info on this series? I found this to be the perfect fix to the hole in my game regarding sweeping larger opponents!!! Super great stuff Joshua.
This was great. I use all those sweeps just as you do them, having to adapt them to bigger people….and I never really had it explained well like this. Thank you!
This is great! As a smaller guy going against giants I also find myself resorting to the knee push. Josh adds the little changes required to pull it off as a much smaller person. Might even check out his instructional, although I’m very poor at executing any types of front headlocks.
You can! www.gentleartlifestyle.com/ or Find me at Arizona camp, Iceland camp, or Heidelburg camp next year. Thank you for the kind words. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!
I dig the foot on knee concept for the scissor sweep. My question is: is this only better for larger opponents? Is the traditional way still better for smaller opponents? What are the pros and cons of each strategy against each different sized opponent? Thanks in advance!
I have to admit, I don't understand the purpose of the last sweep. I know it was mentioned that he doesn't like guillotines from guard because it limits mobility, but the arm is buried deeeeep to get the leverage to sweep him over. It seems like perfect position to finish with the guillotine, or even an anaconda or darce depending on how things shake out. That would also prevent the possible stress on the neck that could happen at the end of that sweep from the compression forward. The sweep actually seems like the more complicated, lower percentage maneuver in this instance. What am I missing?
I absolutely love guillotines. So much so that I have not 1 but 2 BJJ Fanatics videos on the topic. You certainly can guillotine from there. That said, the reason I dont from there, or closed guard in general (especially against big guys) is the hip control they have. I finish guillotines, anacondas, and darces with compression. It has been my experience that from that postiion, the seasoned grappler can put me flat on my hips or back easier. When that happens it is very hard to great the appropriate body positioning to finish (especially a bigger person). The grip in the sweep gives me a lever to move my hips and stops them from flattening me as easy. It attaches me to them and is not as common as going for the neck so sometimes it is easy to find. Additionally, their defense to this can open up a guillotine attempt. Also,You certainly have to be worried about your training partners neck at all points in this but you can do it with control. Glad you brought that part up. Really great question. Thank you for not being one of those people that just says "Well that wouldn't work " Try it at practice and let me know if you have any other questions.
That last sweep is a 100% sweep. Works great off failed guillotines as well, or on people trying to body lock pass. I use it quite often, and it is a neck compression when you get on top so definitely be courteous to your training partners.
You know i had a year of Jujitsu training but i worry about breaking my bones going down onto cement in a real fight as well as the art doesnt seem to have a solution to multi pal attackers in a real fight or does it ?
Unfortunately, I have run into both scenarios in my time. You do get scraped up a bit grappling on cement unless you are on top :) As far as multiple attackers, those odds are much worse in any scenario. In my case, I was able to stay standing, get a hold of one opponent, and use him as a shield from the rest. I took a few hits but all in all survived :) Better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war. Step back onto the mats or train anything that you think will help. Doesn't need to be bjj, find your equivalent.
No martial art has a realistic solution for multiple attackers, but if you hit the ground with many opponents you’re screwed anyways. BJJ is made for self defense in 1v1 combat.
@@theoneandonly6741 Guns are not a martial art but one needs to practice with ones gun in order to get good at it just like a martial art and to be practical in this day and age you need to know how to shoot guns and be good at it to survive dangerous situations.What if your attacker is 10 feet away and shooting at you as you need to be atleast close enough to kick in order to use martial arts to win so i practicce both martial arts and shooting plus prepping and survival for both short time situations as well as long term situations of every sort one can think of that could happen to keep myself alive as well as those who i love.
You aren't wrong :) In my defense, when speaking to campers at a Globetrotter camp, I am trying to connect with the people there and not just disseminate information for you tube.
