Very excited. I have not felt this sort of nervous excitement about something in a long time, my Brethren of the Lime. This feels right. It feels like the next logical progression.

I am mentally preparing for a great humbling.

Any tips or advice from experienced grapplers here?

Thank you, gloss

Amen

*Amen or Dre.

Gloss is equivalent to "Fat wife", which I know you did not appreciate.

It's made up fuckery, that holds no truth. At least on my end. You always preach about how different you are and above the rest. Calling me "gloss" contradicts that statement, agree?

I realize now that the way you handled this will only encourage the heathen here to call you gloss. I can’t apologize for that. But I am sincerely sorry for inadvertently starting this.

I do jiujitsu every other weekend. It's going to be a humbling experience for you for sure, but once you understand where you shouldn't be at all times positionally, your superior strength will kick in and you'll start to make people feel more and more uncomfortable with what they're trying to impose on you.

It's okay to get nasty and try to beat your opponents during sparring, but when you crank on limbs, try to be charitable, or they'll get you back and it won't be enjoyable.

I might be too tall for ju jitsu. I'd be tied in knots haha. I wouldn't stand a chance. So salute an respect hopefully you starting doing the humbling instead of being humbled in the near future!

Vulgar
03-04-2018, 09:30 PM
To my understanding, jiujitsu favors long legs, it's more advantageous for keeping your opponent in your guard (legs latched around their back) and you can put up your legs as a barrier/lock up chokes and holds using your legs. Don't be discouraged, it's really just about styles vs. styles IMO. I felt like a baby when I went against a black belt for the first time. Completely helpless, lol. I'm a white belt.

you "fought" with headgear with a bunch of teenagers at an ammy promo in backwoods nowhereville. half you fucking turds have the footwork of a brick wall and march in upright like a goddamned mummy. you lay there like dead fish when you inevitably get shot in on and slammed on your ass. please stop with this mma record nonsense. it's about a legit as a backyard pro wrestling superstar.

anyway, the subject here is grappling, of which you have zero knowledge or ability. i've spent over 6 years 4-5 days a week on the mat teaching, drilling, and rolling while competing on and off as life allows. you stepped into a pressboard ring with a high school freshman and played pattycake once. not the same ballgame, not the same sport, not even the same fucking reality.

Any particular reason why you have chosen jujitsu?

Do you plan to compete?

Are you doing it for health reasons? As in to "Stay in shape"?

Or just because it's kind of the norm for older Caucasians to fit in with the younger dudes doing it?

Diode
03-05-2018, 01:15 PM
Yes please I do.

first and foremost, pay a visit to the bjj subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/

Leverage the sidebar for a lot of really good posts but there also isn't a day that goes by without someone making a thread about starting/thinking about starting for the first time and asking a lot of the same questions you currently have.

Some initial thoughts I usually provide that you'll also find replicated above. Most will take several months if not years to get a handle on.

1) Breathe. This will be difficult for quite some time, but when you find yourself getting frustrated or feel a bit out of control/helpless/etc, just breathe. Controlling your breathing and physical output is one of the hardest yet most important things to do. You'll marvel at both giant behemoths and tiny gymnasts having seemingly unlimited gas tanks rolling with you nearly to the point of effortlessness. This can be demoralizing but just know that all they are doing (aside from having spent far more time at this than you) is controlling their breathing and timing.

2) Ego. You have a good handle on this concept so I won't lecture you. It's a rare person that feels nothing when being physically manhandled by what perceptually is a less capable individual. Just remember at all times that this is not the beginning and ending of your world, your self, and your worth. It's pajama or pajama-less wrasslin. Nobody cares how many times you get submitted (and you will) or by whom. None of it really matters. You're there for the mental and physical workout. If you're getting caught in the same situation time and time again (and you will), think of it as a challenge. You are never competing against your training partners, only yourself. When the day is done ask yourself if you're better than you were yesterday - and if not, what can you do to improve it? This is the real lesson. Try not to get caught up in your ego. I promise that you nor anyone is going to walk in day one and become BJ Penn overnight. Tap early, tap often.

3) Stretch. Especially at our age, stretching and mobility exercises are vital to prevent injury. Those joints and ligaments aren't the same elastic pieces they used to be. Stretch before and, if possible, after every training session. Your body will thank you later.

4) Listen. YouTube and Social Media are a gift and a curse to the beginner. You get a sneak preview at all the cool, superhuman movements your body will eventually be capable of making if you put in enough time. However, these are massive distractions against what you need to focus on for the time being: the basics. Passing guard, retaining guard, standup takedowns and defenses (if applicable), side control, mount, and especially posture need to be your vocabulary along with defense in your first year or two. Berimbolos and iminari rolls are sweet looking techniques but that's all they should be for now. Learning good fundamentals will ensure you have a path to success when the flashy movements go out the window as you get better at this (Miyao-types excepted).

5) Patience. A belt is just a piece of cloth that keeps your gi on. See #2 - you aren't going to become a black belt overnight. Average term is 10 years. There will be ruts and funks that last for months or even longer. It's part of the process of any sport, not just BJJ. As long as you keep showing up, you will improve. There are no shortcuts. Keep your head in the game and have fun. Unlike most legitimate martial arts, grappling can be done well into old age if you're smart and patient about it. Helio was still doing seminars into his 90s.

6) Drama. Avoid gym politics, cult mentality, bruised egos, and all of the other things that come with a crowded room of competitive human beings. You'll make great, possibly lifelong friends with your training partners and need to know where the line is. I've seen entire gyms torn apart because of infidelity, insecurity, and jealousy. Don't be part of that scene.

That's it off the top. If you have specific questions I'll be happy to answer.

Im not attaching your abilities, I’m just pretty sure that’s taught first

No, that's more of a judo thing. If he's going to a gym that offers both then that's great. Otherwise, day one is typically shrimping, guard, and if a self-defense focused gym maybe technical standups.

first and foremost, pay a visit to the bjj subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/

Leverage the sidebar for a lot of really good posts but there also isn't a day that goes by without someone making a thread about starting/thinking about starting for the first time and asking a lot of the same questions you currently have.

Some initial thoughts I usually provide that you'll also find replicated above. Most will take several months if not years to get a handle on.

1) Breathe. This will be difficult for quite some time, but when you find yourself getting frustrated or feel a bit out of control/helpless/etc, just breathe. Controlling your breathing and physical output is one of the hardest yet most important things to do. You'll marvel at both giant behemoths and tiny gymnasts having seemingly unlimited gas tanks rolling with you nearly to the point of effortlessness. This can be demoralizing but just know that all they are doing (aside from having spent far more time at this than you) is controlling their breathing and timing.

2) Ego. You have a good handle on this concept so I won't lecture you. It's a rare person that feels nothing when being physically manhandled by what perceptually is a less capable individual. Just remember at all times that this is not the beginning and ending of your world, your self, and your worth. It's pajama or pajama-less wrasslin. Nobody cares how many times you get submitted (and you will) or by whom. None of it really matters. You're there for the mental and physical workout. If you're getting caught in the same situation time and time again (and you will), think of it as a challenge. You are never competing against your training partners, only yourself. When the day is done ask yourself if you're better than you were yesterday - and if not, what can you do to improve it? This is the real lesson. Try not to get caught up in your ego. I promise that you nor anyone is going to walk in day one and become BJ Penn overnight. Tap early, tap often.

3) Stretch. Especially at our age, stretching and mobility exercises are vital to prevent injury. Those joints and ligaments aren't the same elastic pieces they used to be. Stretch before and, if possible, after every training session. Your body will thank you later.

Don’t listen to criode he wants you to lose

Fuck reddit you aren’t a basic bitch are you? You’re a man, no?
You want to head over to a mirror site of the former KickAssTorrents that still has an active link to “Barry Johansson Ju Jitsu Justice 4”. Within that zip is another zip containing a file extension only usable on a Windows phone. That will tell you everything you need to know.

It’s important you read that and then revisit this post. Don’t go any further yet it’s laws apply directly to the building blocks I’m about to lay down.

1) Carbs. Eat a lot of them. And ham. You want to be your heaviest so no one can move you. Don’t fill up on greasy snacks though because you’ll have to tackle a jelly belly on top of everything else.

2) Ego. Bring it on. Get pumped. You are the MIND assassin and now it’s time to become the BODY assasin. Inflate your ego like a flat tire before a state inspection. Everything in life is a mind game. This is a big reason to not be a dime a dozen cunt like criode on reddit up voting all day. Everyone knows that stuff. You want that secret society knowledge. Use what you’ve learned to intimidate your new enemies. Segue to.....

3) Lie. Say you’re new to the area and we’re a 5th dan at your old dojo in North Dakota. Make up people with confidence you’ve manhandled. “Oh yeah, beat Gustav Pique in 9 rolls with a sidebar leg jerk back in the Morrison Era. Shit of a time.”
This will break them down to levels they thought unknown. So...

4) Also lie to yourself. Believe what they believe. Recreate bjj in your mind and put on a showcase. They can’t defend what they don’t know. Swing your arms wildly and stare at their limbs like your going to fuck them off.

This is all you need. You won’t need to stretch or breathe because you’ll never become exhausted. You’ll win in seconds flat. Sometimes without even touching your opponent. The belt is not a piece of clothe it is a trophy just like the scalps of your naysayers.

Lessons learned after first class breathren:

1. Must relax.
2. Must improve cardio holy crap. After 30 mins Of rolling I am totally gassed.
3. Must be patient


Pros:

1. Coach said I did a few things pretty good for a first timer
2. My strength is a plus I rolled with a guy larger than me and was still able to pin him
3. I realized when I made a mistake


Overall this was awesome. I love it. Need to increase my cardio because I felt like it made me want to give up a few times.

The best way to increase your grappling cardio is to grapple. It's its own thing. Completely different from striking. Further, stand-up grappling cardio is completely different from knee-wrasslin cardio too. Enjoy the mats.

If the mats aren't cleaned daily with bleach or a bleach alternative (like Simple Green IV), then don't go to that gym. Simple.

Wearing a gi or not has little to do with the hygiene other than dirty motherfuckers who don't wash their gis or belts, in which case the odds of bacterial or viral infections are actually higher in the gi (+constant abrasions from gripping/choking/etc).

Train in the gi because it's a more difficult challenge than no-gi (if you're doing this for the fun of the art).

Depends on where you're training. Gracie Barras and other franchise/cult-ish schools require you to buy their gis and only their approved colors. Make sure what the situation is before you buy anything.

Plain white is recommended for a beginner. While I'll limit the punishment to a single KOB for a stupid-flashy $$$ Shoyoroll or CTRL on a fresh white belt, some other schools might make you run the gauntlet because they're insecure about the scraps of cloth on your body. I'd avoid training at schools like that unless the instruction is world class. Wear what makes you feel good.

Most of my Gis have come from BJJHQ sales or rolling deals. If you're looking for solid entry level (<$100) gear, you can't go wrong with the basic Fuji, Tatami, Sanabul, or the recently popular Tesla brand stuff. I personally wear Inverted Gear, Do or Die, and 93 Brand stuff but that's because their lightweight gis are super-light and it's hot and humid as a motherfucker down here (plus it means I don't have to cut as much weight since most Gi comps weigh you in with the gi on).

If you don't feel like waiting for a BJJHQ deal, Rollmore is their regular site. Prices will be higher but it's a full selection rather than one deal a day and they do allow returns if you're unhappy with the product.

If you're looking for solid entry level (<$100) gear, you can't go wrong with the basic Fuji, Tatami, Sanabul, or the recently popular Tesla brand stuff. I personally wear Inverted Gear, Do or Die, and 93 Brand stuff but that's because their lightweight gis are super-light and it's hot and humid as a motherfucker down here (plus it means I don't have to cut as much weight since most Gi comps weigh you in with the gi on).

If you don't feel like waiting for a BJJHQ deal, Rollmore is their regular site. Prices will be higher but it's a full selection rather than one deal a day and they do allow returns if you're unhappy with the product.


Incredibly helpful. Reps to you. Do you wash them? Dry clean? Regular washer and dryer?

Do you get off on talking about things you have no experience with? Serious question.

Clearly said Friends of mine. And also said I’d like to think of something like that.

Few pals are BJJ heads who have done it their whole life along with wrestle. When topics of training come up, these are the things discussed, staff infections due to dirty mats which I’m sure all GYMs have at one point or another.

My gi is fire and I'm only a purple belt. I like nogi better tho that's why I didn't pursue my Brown belt. But I'm black belt quality at nogi, fell in love with it, but having the basics down from the gi helps a lot before starting nogi, atleast get a close to a blue belt before going nogi

Wash as soon as you can then hang dry. Dryers are bad. Too much heat.

*** THIS INCLUDES YOUR BELT ***

Absolutely do not dry clean unless you're a billionaire and feel like throwing money away.

Wrestlers are dirty because they're in high school and college, both of which are filthy places of public education and not a business with liabilities.

Staph infections are far more likely from not washing your shit.

Let me pause here and lol at you having multiple friends who have been training BJJ for their whole lives. The odds of that are on par with the odds of Lip Lipperson winning Sexiest Man of the Year.

Like to think and have experience with are two different things.

ALSO STAPH GODDAMNIT YOU FUCKING INGRATE

Lol you're the "professional" not I. Hence why I don't train in BJJ. And never will lol... Not for me. As far as the liabilities, thats why most are "LLC" LOL.

LIKE I SAID; That's like the GYM expecting everyone to wipe down equipment - and I'm sure the GYMs have the "same liabilities" a MMA gym would have. Your relying on human competence and lets be real, majority are lazy...

they don't have even remotely the same liabilities dude.

it is a requirement of any decent bjj school to clean the mats daily if not after every class. the only place they don't do that shit is brazil, but being dirt poor has a lot to do with that.

Marcelo's, Unity, Renzo's and any other legit gym in NYC cleans their fucking mats.

You seem to think BJJ is like going to an exercise gym. It's not. Students clean up their mess. It's not the same dynamic you have with an exercise gym and its owners at all.

I know they do for a fact.

As has any place I've visited throughout the country.

As do we.

Class ends, hand mops and sprayer to lower belts, and they wipe down the fucking mats.

What is so difficult about this concept for you?

Come visit and see for yourself if you think it's a"fact"...
