Hey guys! I had to repost this video with some privacy edits so you may have seen this one! If not, hopefully you enjoy it and stay tuned for the next video! Working on vlog #7 for tomorrow and plan on sharing a roll from no gi class and gi class. Thanks!
Sim was my first bjj instructor when I was in high school back at the original Cobra Kai. Wish I kept up with it but I started up again in 2021. Cool to see he's got his own namesake academy now. Enjoy the journey brotha!
Really enjoy these commentary style videos of the action. I'm starting my BJJ journey this summer, so these videos really help to get in the zone and the environment of what to expect.
For me with the von flue choke, one of the keys is really just driving your shoulder into their chin so they have to look away from you. Really apply tons of downward pressure on them. This gets things started with that choke usually for me. Also be patient with it. It can be one of those chokes where it takes longer for someone to tap to or even feel it. It's common for people to pass out because they didn't realize they were being choked lol.
Yes if you want to, i jumped right in. And yeah i would say I mostly train with upper belts because I can only make the morning class which seems full of higher belts. For some reason most of the white belts are in the evening class.
say what you want but this stuff at 2:10 deserves a slam I dont get how people can want to be in this position, i know its a sport, but its the dumbest thing ever
Every 10 pounds and 10 years are considered a belt. So basically, if you and him are fighting, you are into your purple belt against his black belt. Not sure if you guys are the same age but if you are, then he still has 2 advantages over you. This means he can grab one tennis ball in each hand and if he squeezes or if he drops the tennis balls, he loses. I am just tired of the BS rolls that a black belt destroys a white belt or a blue belt. It happens in every gym. How about those high rank guys give up a limb or two, this way we see how fast things change. Yes, jiu jitsu works unless you stand up (Craig Jones Joke), but I have never seen a black belt giving the advantage to a lower belt, roll with them and win and I am not talking about positional advantage. How good is a black belt without using his or her right arm against a seasoned white belt who is 30 pounds heavier and much more muscular. That's what I want to see. If you are the bmf, level the playing field.
