Today's video is a question from a viewer who's involved in MMA and finds that he is a slow starter. Meaning he allows other people to get the better of him but then turns it on after. This is an issue many people have faced, including yours bearded.
So in today's Q&A video I share some ideas of how I went from being a slow started in BJJ competitions and MMA and into an aggressive fighter/grappler from the moment a match started.
Hope the video gives you some useful ideas for your own training.
Oh, and sorry for the weird brightness in the video. Camera was on the fritz that day.

At my gym I was the smallest guy amongst the amateur fighters by 30-40 lbs on any given day. Lost my first MMA fight by unanimous decision. The week after my friend told me "be the hammer don't be the nail" I realized I was so used to being the smallest guy, I always sparred defensively. So from that day on, I became the hammer.

I do the same thing with my Jiu Jitsu. I'm either the smallest or 2nd smallest guy in my gym so I always roll defensively, but today I went on the offensive and actually tapped everyone I rolled with

@NK I mean i know that the pointing system could be better, but it values dominant positions and takedowns which is good and also good for self defense situations.

I think I have this same issue when it comes to my training. I am a 6'2ish 300lb blue belt and I tend to be pretty relaxed and have adopted the rule that in order to play my top game, I have to earn it by starting from my guard and either getting a sweep or transitioning to a better position depending on what my partner gives me. I've started to notice that when I roll with people more aggressive or more experienced than me, I tend to adopt a survival mindset and work on defending and/or escaping to a better position but hardly try for submissions unless they are blatantly giving it to me. I'm pretty I've psyched myself out against upper belts because I always feel like I'm walking into a trap and/or I'm worried that they may decide to suddenly ramp up the intensity if I DO tap them as that has happened to me with even an instance where a purple belt choked me unconscious even though I was tapping. It has resulted in me having trouble being proactive and insisting on working my techniques but I am now consciously working on it. Thank you for your videos as you've helped me tremendously with my perspective on several topics and thoughts!

Came here thinking it may be spun as 'Why you may want to start slow in matches'. Started in January, have my 1st comp next Saturday and was planning on putting it on 'em from start to finish. Thank you for confirming my strategy!

QUESTION: context is: I’m 52, started at 51 (18 months ago). 6’4”, was 220lbs and now am at 200lbs (lost 30lbs and gained 10 in muscle). I want to roll for a long time. I do see myself earning a black belt, even if it takes me 20 years or more. Issue: I find myself taking care of my uke, *perhaps* to the detriment of my “success” as an opponent. I am concerned about hurting my training partner/opponent while rolling. I am interested in your perspective about this. I’m not on a “competition track”, nor was competing my main interest in BJJ.

@oosik411 2 года назад
I’m same way, I want to have great technique and not force subs just for my ego. So I end up not subbing as much as others because they will try to force bad technique. Someone told me this will benefit me in the long run. You shouldn’t have to slam people into a position or sub leading to injury. If you have good control and position it should be fairly easy where you can easy into it.

Always appreciate your content. I'm bigger than a lot of guys I roll with, so I tend to start slow with them and let them set the pace. That's pretty much exactly the opposite of what you're recommending here lol, I'm realizing I put in way more reps of "get in a bad spot then get out" than "put them in a bad spot"

My issue is I am higher ranked in fundamentals (almost a blue belt) and alot of the new females coming in get put with me and 2 other ladies. I feel like I get stuck in this: BE easy on the new people. Be careful rolling with the guys because you get what you give and I might legit get mashed. Not good enough to be competitive with the upper blues, and definitely not the purples. So when I roll, I am hesitant to go hard, because I am used to being told to be easy, or out of fear of being crushed. I am also 5'7, 165lbs and consider my self to be decently strong. So I am taller, and outweigh every lady in the gym. I am in a weird spot right now.

I just had my first BJJ class back on Saturday, and it went well. I’ll be going back this Wednesday for a fundamentals class. It’s hard telling whether or not I’ll be getting into competitions as they’re not mandatory, but they’re encouraged, so as time goes on I suppose we’ll see.
@DoggosAndJiuJitsu
@DoggosAndJiuJitsu 2 года назад
That’s exciting! Welcome to the sport. Don’t mind the initial soreness, buy a rash guard, and go slow 🙏 You should definitely try at least one competition, but it may be better to wait several months or even deep into your second stripe. You probably won’t get an accurate gauge of your white belt game right now. If you compete this early it just won’t make sense to you the same as it will further into the belt.

I psyched myself up to be aggressive in my first no-gi match and landed a successful single leg. he eventually equalized the score but I got an advantage point at the very very last second of the match. Lame to win by advantage, but if I hadn't scored that single leg I wouldn't have set myself up to win

Here's a similar question: how can I use up my stamina better for BJJ. I'm used to fighting in MMA/Striking fights which go much longer and have rounds. When I did my first BJJ tourney, I barely used up any stamina while my opponents were very tired. However they beat me on points.

@tigercrush2253
@tigercrush2253 2 года назад
I have struggled with this, too, with opponents always getting the jump on me and then having to recover. I got way too fixated and trying to read and react to what they were going to do. In my last match, I decided that the moment the ref said 'fight,' I was going to step to my left and try to shoot an underhook. Nothing more than that. Just something, ANYTHING, other than hesitating. And then, my training could start to take over from there, whether I got the underhook or not. Not saying it's a magic bullet, but I won a title with it.

So so for I’m usually the biggest guy on the mat at my gym. Any where 40-50 lbs or more lighter then me. This makes it harder for me to super aggressive out of fear of injuring my teammates. Them comes in my upper belts ( I’m a blue belt) or the a heavy comes by an end getting smashed from the slower of rolling.

My last match my opponent was super aggressive which I used to my advantage. He was going super fast out of the gate which is not my game but I felt I had to match his aggressiveness. Do you recommend matching your opponents speed and aggressiveness ? I feel you kinda have to or else they’ll have the upper hand.

Hey Chewy, thanks for doing what you do! I have a question - how can you still train or at least not lose ground when you're sick or injured? Don't get me wrong, the sickness/injury itself still sucks, but I find myself being more annoyed that I can't train effectively and it can really hurt my mentality.
