Great video! I'd also add that it's ok to tap "too early" if you're in a position which you have no knowledge in how to defend - i.e. a leg entanglement. If I see someone has their hands clasped on a heel hook for example, I'll tap immediately, as I don't want to hurt myself attempting a dodgy escape. On the other hand, if I'm getting choked, I'll fight that a bit longer as I'm quite used to the different stages of passing out so I know when it's about to be too late. Also, blacking out is much preferable to getting a busted knee...
I've got one partner like this. He's a great guy, just super athletic and doesn't know his own strength. If he gets the position right, I know I'm done so the tap comes before he ran rip my arm off.
Omg 😱 fantastic video, we need more of these, I haven’t seen a new one like this in a while. Thank you Professor. You covered so much in 7 mins, from the attacker to the Uke, of course the theme was the uke, but it was perfect. IMO this is the biggest reason why JJ has the highest drop out rate of any martial art. Where the uke thinks they have to endure, almost a full out submission to prove something, same for the attacker. I have been doing JJ now for 4 years, and I have less then ten submission on my Ukes. And as of now I have never been hurt. Because I have learn from others mistakes, like you have mentioned on this great Video. People it’s ok to tap. People it’s ok to Catch, Control, Release. Thank you 🙏 Sir.
I was just looking for a video on this subject last week! I think i found an older video of yours that discussed this. I specifically wanted some more insight on tapping to chokes. You've got a bit more time there usually, but it's hard for me to know when it's too early. Usually I concede shortly after I feel extra blood pressure once a choke goes from kinda loose, to locked in. I'm just not sure what time window I have to work with once it's gotten to that point. If you've got anything else to add, would love to hear it!
Have been training for a while and personally I dislike the guy who taps way to early. Half the time I’m mid set up for an arm bar or i got him in the pit stop and he will tap. It’s frustrating because there are other people who work escapes from the submission attempts but if you don’t get to practice the control you never really know if you would get the sub or not.
Such a great video. Had the professor get me in a Americana and he did it slow and I did not feel pain, then all the sudden my elbow popped.. this really helps. Thanks. I did wake up with some pain on my elbow.
