I Tapped from Pressure as a BJJ White Belt ( Here’s How I fixed it ) 

i can smell his breath

cunn1n6ham that was my first thought too. Never make someone feel bad for tapping! Whoever did that to someone who has been training for a month is a complete idiot.

It depends, there has to be some accountability. You have to take being a higher rank seriously which means its your job to be an ambassador to the next level. You have accept your role and help these people grow. If they are just giving up too quick because the roll did not go perfect for them and they want to start over, in that case you need to say something. They are never going to grow and develop if they dont work these problems.

Agreed

I couldnt breathe with a higher belt sitting on my chest and throat (it was like my 2nd roll), and he refused to get off to my tap because "Use your technique to get out". I get the sentiment, but I tapped because I cant breathe... Respect the tap or you lose trust from me as a partner.

@@12XxXHandlesAreStupidXxX123 you're totally right. Might be good to tell him this or the instructor. He can share his opinions from a neutral position.

It is not like we forget to breath, we will be dead, literally, lol. But we breath too little in relation to the amount of effort and force we are putting into the roll. It happens to me all the time as a 6 months new white belt.

Me, for sure

Art Torres what was that 😂😂

It was one moment of perfect awesome ^^

Reminds me or Hodor.

Dude must be a Pokemon, can only say his name.

Trying that saturday. . . thanks lol

I do that but I always add the scream. Really shakes the match up

@@royalcommoner3873 did it work?

@@cachanilla3839 Screaming in ears IS aloud. A loud ! Ha

competing on saturday, if it works i hope i remember to update!

When your up against a BJJ wrestler there really isnt

@@brucecharlie8613 from experience I agree

every hold has a escape

Yea but you can also get hurt if your arm gets caught somewhere or leg just because it’s not a proper submission it may still hurt and cause injury to a new white belt that isn’t flexible

I'm gay and I like to be mounted when I'm doing bjj with guys. So I actually don't care, unless the guy smells bad

Cro Cop were you by any chance rolling with MUH NEW NIGGA KHABIB?

I do the same honestly

Cro Cop your balls or the other guy’s balls. If it’s yours then I envy your flexibility

Cro Cop haha good old north south

Here's how you get through it: take a deep breath, throught your mouth not your nose, because you don't want to tap from his scrotum smell, and then do a headbut to his nuts. Illegal move but the judges wont be able to see it, since afterall, his nuts are covering your face.

Oblivion Fire I haven't been training for long but I'm a surfer and I will sit there in chokes for longer than I have to and then try to get out. I have found it makes me a lot more comfortable in bad positions or when I have a guy 30kg heavier sitting on me. Surfings help me alot

What the, seriously lol? That's kind of strange that you watch tutorial videos without practicing the moves.

do some bjj... you are wasting time.

@@bobthebuilder6553 I do Muay Thai. But I'm a huge martial arts nerd so I like to watch videos about other martial arts.

@@Daniel-yo5es Not really interested in BJJ. I already do Muay Thai. Maybe I'll start Judo or Sambo one day though.

@@thejoojoo9999 I do muay thai too... you should try it man. just try it one time... roll, and if you are ok with being twisted into a pretzel by a guy half your size... then it's not for you. for me, I couldnt allow it..... skip ahead twenty years later... still go 4 times a week.

He says so much with so little

How'd the comp go?

@@Shmoobiess he died 😭

Good job man

@Broharn Great! I handle it much better now. The other day I spent almost an entire round in side control under a guy that weighs 250 and I survived just fine. I'm only 160 btw.

Pablo the Gamer Dad I do the same damn thing lol

A drill that helped me a lot was to try to keep a casual conversation going (with my training partner) as we rolled. Hard to talk if you are tense or holding your breath.

me too when i try to unlock their arms i waste my energy trying to

I love roller coasters, but ironically HATED the Giant Drop. All it is is the horrible free-fall butterflies you're-about-to-go-splat feeling without any twists or loops or turns or whatever, plus extra doom feeling because they forget about you at the top for a minute while your feet dangle in the abyss and your palms sweat and you'd rather just jump off than wait. So at the end of one day at Six Flags I wanted to challenge myself. I thought "let's end this BS fear of the giant drop right here and now." I paid extra, extra attention to every sensation. Deep breaths on the way up, FOCUSED on the nervous energy in my legs and stomach instead of wishing it wasn't there, APPRECIATED how sweaty my palms were instead of trying to air-dry them, and at the top, looking out for hundreds miles in every direction, my feet dangling thousands of feet off the ground, occasionally ducking to avoid low-flying planes, I acknowledged and accepted that my body was about to be driven towards the earth at supersonic speeds. And then when we fell, instead of letting the feeling "happen to me," I stared it straight in the face and said "yeah, I know you. Cool." I remember that freefall so clearly, and I was so calm. Introspective. Zen. Anyway... to echo your point, and my advice for anyone confronting any fear/discomfort in anything in life: stare your fear in the face. Be curious about it. Test it. See if you can be even more afraid. LEAN INTO your fear. See if your fear is all it's cracked up to be. Most likely it's not, and the feeling after directly confronting a fear (even during) it is like nothing else. That story is from years ago and whenever I remember it I still feel like I'm walking on clouds.

I also learned get small when there on top..i able to catch my breath.. Plus im pretty lancky so I can wrap around somone and hold on for dear life till I get my oxygen ..... I do have a question though.. Alot whitbelts like myself every now and then do catch a break and get the upper hand. Whether it's a mount or catching them just right to do somthing.. Then we go blank.. Well. I go blank.. Its like I just dont know what to do next.. Maybe its not enough training or knowing enough techniques but I feel as somtimes I see a moment when I could do somthing.. I dont know what.. .. Not sure if im explain this right..

Move your head or calm down and the guy will usually move! But i feel you haha i once panicked when a guy kept putting his hand on my mouth and nose

That's the worst. Saying, "I let you have that submission" is really cheap. His smile was kind, but it would piss off most people. Just be humble, smile, slap hands and do it again.

Yeah man military life can demand a lot of time, it’s still possible to train though. I have to skip dinner some days to be able to train lol

M.K good luck brother!

If your in the marines or on camp pendleton we have bjj everyday at 9th comm, or if you in okinawa there's a bjj on camp courtney

Find a place that will credit your training and deployment time to the end of your contract. I.e. If you're on orders for 6 weeks or 6 months the clock stops ticking down on your contract until you return. Linx academy is good if your near Norfolk Virginia.

If you're at Camp Lejeune there's places to train during lunch at 8th Comm Dojo on mainside, as well as places at Court House Bay, Stone Bay and Camp Geiger.

Me too. Totally new, gassed, and with no moves. Felt like such a loser tapping from pressure but had no idea what to do!

He didn't speak to you? Sounds like you hurt his ego more LOL XD

@@qrdi81 I can't say that I'm that great, but at that moment I was the best ever. Lol.

Alex Lancaster it is weird that we don’t have many wrestling schools

Its forbidden in judo so youre fine
