How to get good at jiu jitsu | Ryan Hall and Lex Fridman 

Mate, get on the fully leaded. Unreal. Ask Jon Jones.

@@edforbes1563 yeah he got that diesel d. power......

Bros, you gotta get on that diesel fuel tho. So much POW

Unleaded, diesel? Go big or go home. Jet fuel is the way.

I hope you guys aren't serious, drinking gasoline is dangerous! Kerosene on the hand...

He has turrets

I used to do this and it wasn’t involuntary but it was a bad habit that I would pick up from time to time

@@SRTTren 50 cal turrets? Or does he have Tourette’s?

“Be nice”. Wow what amazing life advice. Holy shit! A bus driver could have said as much.

@@RM-jb2bvlooks like you could take some of this advice and apply it to yourself

Where is his academy located? I like his unique, creative and original style/thought ... I think he asks the questions that lead to evolutionary answers ala Bruce Lee, Eddie Bravo, etc.

@@ispittruthchannel5317 Arlington VA. I’ve been thinking about making the trip. It’s about 4 hours away.

Do they drill iminari rolls there?

If Ryan was so smart he wouldnt have drank unleaded gasoline, should have not been doing that.

Until he gets knocked out and then he scrambles for excuses

What’s that last word mean

@@paijo1503 Hespecthie, my friendch

@@paijo1503 It's the way Brazilians with thick accents say respect if you sounded out the letters.

@@deyan.dimitroff hahahaha

This video is not about you? What that gotta do with the video?!

7:22

I want a full podcast about it ...

but, its just a learning curve, you have to do the basics, to learn what works.. half the shit, i get taught is useless for my body shape and ability, so i just stick to what works, funny things is, i figured out what works and doesnt very early and now that i am doing jits for 3 years, i was right about it right from the start, i listen to my body and awareness, still white 2 stripes.. but, most of the blue belts cant tap me, only some of the good ones or heavy guys

@@rockade2408 What school do you train at? Most moves aren't useless, you just need to learn how to implement them into your game for your body type buddy.

@@rockade2408 There are jokes going around about 2 stripe white belts. They should add yours to their collection.

Yeah holy shit lol

For sure being confortable being uncomfortable is one of the biggest steps in starting.

IT IS #1A most important

Same

11 months in. Literally just blew my knee out in my first competition about four hours ago. Right there with ya

@@rossstanford4590 stay strong we’ll get through it

Ross Stanford really, what do you think, ACL?

Amen. Been looking into knees over toes guy.

If you rely a lot on grips, that's a not a good sign. Better switch on relying on techniques. Let your grips be broken, no death grip required... to have a healthy and long bjj life

@Marcel Maksel I’ve seen people shrimp in Wrestling. But regardless of what kind of grappling, wrestling, bjj, or judo, shrimping isn’t gonna get out of a solid hold

@Marcel Maksel I feel it has it’s place in jiu jitsu. The way I’ve understood it, it is a tool to acquire a better angle. But not necessarily as a defensive move outside of a hold, but rather an offensive/neutral move that can just slightly improve an angle for some kind of sweep or submission. It’s not magic in of itself

Judo was born from Jiujitsu Kano sought jiujitsu masters to preserve the art and later altered it with Judo.No?

@@johnjoseph72 you got confused by the naming, gracie jujitsu and brazilian jujitsu (later merged into just bjj due to the Gracie's huge popularity) comes from Judo, but when Judo reached brasil, early 1900s it was still called Kano Jujitsu, Judo is a later term but an older art.

If you read Mr Halls Open Letter to the Martial Arts Community, you will know that you shouldn't judge somebody as a good human by his topical politeness. Read his letter.

@@jackiemartling5321 ha! love u jokeman. Ive read the letter at your request and I have a thought or two. Mr. Hall has many traits and an intelligence I approve of and i'm sure many more traits that I don't. The thing is, the ones I dont arent shown to me therefore my overall impression is positive. It does not mean I believe they dont exist. As with all humans, we suck at times so deductively, he must suck at times. I fail to see how any of this is hero worship, just a positive statement of affirmation. Thanks for the reply.

To master a technique is not only to know how it works but also why it works.

Correct. It very much depends whether you train "sports/competition" Jiu-Jitsu or Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense. Especially self-defense for women... Nothing better than a nice big juicy Shrimp followed by a kick to the face to get out from under and away from an attacker

I think your overanalyzing him here. He would never say that for an iminari roll. Yet, we all know what happened. So to say he's seeing things through an mma /SD perspective doesn't make sense.

100% agree. I'm knowledgeable enough to know that I don't know everything lol. So I won't disagree with Ryan outright....I'd like to hear more from him on his views of shrimping first. Like you, I also agree that it's an idea taught through a technique. I personally also think it's a great idea. Getting on my side can help me deal with weight and create space, moving things away from my opponent helps create space, moving my hips or shoulders back into my opponent I can fill space etc etc. Those are fundamental ideas that the technique teaches us, that can be applied to lots of different techniques. By your picture, I see you might be a gracie guy yourself as well? I'm not sure I fully understand your views on the oversight of training jits based solely on competition....because, like a real fight, in a competition you might not get to choose where you fight from either. That said, I do fully agree that teaching a fighting art purely in the context of of a safe punchless competition is dangerous for the practicality and longevity of the art...and a disservice to it's students.

You need to get going with it man

Keep training and keep eating 💪 need those calories for jiu-jitsu, use your speed its a powerful weapon in the sport.

Dude jiu jitsu was made for people who are “tree twigs” lol.

@@teejay89656 *Encouragement Intensifies* 👍

Just so you know, you're gonna lose everyday for years. You'll of course get your nice moments, and you'll catch other white belts in stuff, but the phrase "theres levels to this shit" is so true with BJJ it's not even funny. I've been subbed by 155lb 15 years olds multiple times in a row. Its ridiculous bro. But that literally doesnt matter at all, that you're losing that is, because every time you get smashed in training you're learning something new. It's a beautiful and humbling experience and I really hope you make the jump and put a Gi on. Good luck my friend. Oss!! And dont ever get discouraged!!

Considering he’s a leg locker, I’m going to take a guess that a good amount of the bull shit is old school

Shrimp tastes good, thats all I know.

lol he also has tourette's...

@@steve2126 Does he really? I was wondering why he was blinking like that. I didn't want to be rude and ask. :/

I like listening to him talk, but I have a feeling he would be a douche bag in real life

What do you mean? He sounds super nice to me

@@thelifeofpieman he's not. he's the exact opposite of what I would label a douchebag.

@@ryqn Intelligence is often mistaken for many negative things like snobbery or airs. It says more about the person making the assumption than it does about the person being subjected to said assumption.

Anas Nabil. I think it's from the drinking of unleaded gasoline.

Unleaded gasoline isnotbyhatv bad toyo drinhhdhk. I've beghqhn driiiinbggking iiitsf foooree yeesdhrrs. No sieede affekctssss

He has tourettes

@@edforbes1563 LMAO

Unfortunately. I had high hopes for him, but that was just a terrible performance.

His standup skills are not there. But you cant really hate on the guy, his strategy worked until it didnt
