Awesome! Swing by anytime - all are welcome. Loganlea Jiu Jitsu / RWBJJ.com.au 💪💪❤️

Everyone’s welcome to their opinion- try this - get a guy in his 40s , hasn’t exercised in a decade and get him trying to roll… he’ll wake up so sore , if he doesn’t quit during training and unlikely to return. I vary training a lot depending on who’s in class and always keep things fresh - but starting with drilling for many in my school is the best way forwards for them. Look at the Navy Sesls they have a crawl , walk then run method - everyone starts at the very bottom , the minimum level then progresses based on competence- if Micheal Phelps turns up he sits in class and learns how to swim What works for a young athletic person isn’t right for an over 40 or over 50 I have guys over 64 so they all start w just drilling as that’s tonnes of a work out for their body. We do game style stuff too - I’m a professional coach not just a black belt trying to teach like many. I’ve been studying human movement and psychology for 40 years have run 9 schools so I see the benefits of many styles of coaching and learning and always have an open mind.

@robwilliamsbjj8446 You raise a number of points. You're right that some people can't roll out of the gate at 100% I'd reword and say that for optimal learning, begginers should go at 100% I can go 100% with anyone with constraints. To go to extreme examples, maybe I'm only allowed to use my left arm, or maybe I'm only allowed to triangle choke, and I'm starting with my back taken. Maybe I need to escape back control, then put my partner in a triangle in under a minute, and I can't utilise my right arm. I don't doubt that you're an experienced coach. I'd ask if you've explored the literature on ecological dynamics? Henry Ford said, "If I asked my customers what they want, they would have said a faster horse." I was sceptical that my coach planned on NEVER teaching techniques straight out of the gate. Now that I have results, I'm a complete convert. This is the reason Kit Dale got his blue belt in 4 weeks and a black belt in 4 years. There are reasons why most people don't even make it to blue belt. Respectfully, if you're an experienced coach or have studied psychology, it doesn't validate the argument. I, for example, use a microwave all the time yet would have no clue on how to make one.

@@Bradley9967 Kit was a professional athlete , super strong etc - not a 40+ guy. Anyway - have fun with your Jiu Jitsu however you do it.

Cheers - hope it helps

Great! Glad it helped. 💪💪

Yes that does. It’s the go to position in almost every street fight so apart from guard and scarf hold it’s very important- every class every day starts with a Mount escape. I have our curriculum on my phone and in booklets most students have - so they can tick them off and make notes beside them. Eventually I’d like to get it all online. Most is on here. Similar to Pedro Sauers tests I just have more throws and most Gracie Combatives techniques

I don’t know the statistics for my school but I do know a lot of my students open their own schools as I love to help coaches become great coaches

Was it not self explanatory enough ?

I’ve never used it. I don’t really talk to my mates about it - plus they’re over 50 now so they’re happy to be fitter and happier. There’s a great fb group about strength and conditioning science so could ask there or look up Huberman and TRT

Always start with Jiu Jitsu - it’s the best base for everything else to build on - you can add Thai boxing and boxing after but don’t at a proper mma school where it’s a system - the stance and foot work for Thai and boxing often gets corrupted and purist coaches will complain about your stance ( my experience) There’s a great you tube video of Mighty Mouse interviewing Kade Ryuatolo ( spelt wrong ) yesterday where both explain it well..

@@robwilliamsbjj8446 Thank you 🙏🏿 so much for the advice really appreciated it have a wonderful night

Kimura from underneath is far more common as people are reaching for the head or pushing the leg down - I’ve hit Americana from underneath before but never experienced it myself - I’ll have a look at it for you Saturday morning

@robwilliamsbjj8446 sorry bad English, could you do a video on Americana counters? Thanks

@@BeepBoop2221 they’re actually pretty rare but I’ll have a look at it for you - from which position??

@robwilliamsbjj8446 I normally get hit with an Americana from side control. But its because of weight differences, using both hands and weight to force my arm to the mat.

@@BeepBoop2221 if they’re using both hands to try and secure your arm there’s nothing protecting / blocking your hips so escaping should be easy. The time escape is not once a lock is applied - it’s as it’s getting set up. Also, most people don’t frame correctly, don’t hip escape correctly too. Also, you don’t have to keep your arm framing against their neck - it can reside in the far side pretty safely. I’ve done videos on escaping side control so I’d suggest watching those first.

Awesome - move to live and live to move

There’s a great FB group Strength and nutrition for combat athletes - try that. Cheers I’ll do more movement related stuff for you. Key is to be equally fit, strong and flexible - not too much in any one of those but equal

Cheers mate - I go to the shin for coaching kids and beginners whilst they’re learning to fall and throw ( incase you’re wondering )

I’m 5”10. We only do gi training - the guys still win no gi comps, I think the speed on training in no gi would become a factor for most over 50. That said, maybe the flowy nature would help them move their body in more creative ways so could be beneficial. Best this to set up o soto is o Ouchi - or Harai Goshi. Pretty sure I did a o o Ouchi to o Soto video a few weeks ago. Thank you. When people ask about stuff I’m happy to do a video about my experiences

When playing spinner guard you should aim to NOT close your hand - but hook onto the sleeve instead

Excellent. 💪

I’ll do a wee video for you to help your fingers

Those suits would be awesome - but likely very expensive. When I started Jiu Jitsu we just trained that way on each other - hence why most older Bjj guys are wrecked physically. Mostly we just drill moves and if people wanted to go hard they’re welcome too - although most don’t. Most self defence is grappling and not a lot of striking. Once you have control of people you really don’t need to hit them much and striking on the ground is pretty simple due to lack of distance

Glad it helped.

My pleasure. Glad you liked it.

My pleasure 😇

Yes, better to apply pressure to your opponent than to the floor

Glad it helps!!

Thank you 🙏

T choke is really high percentage and there’s a t choke arm bar too - yes I start with pinning his far arm under my knee/ thigh. Should be a few videos on the side control Kimura here so you can see it. I’ll endeavour to do a few videos on t choke - although there should be lots already

I’ll show you a few easy ways to- easiest is to use your knee to pull their shoulder forwards into the position

Thank you mate. Kimura isn’t really my thing and there’s many like my friend Clarke Gracie - who specialises in that and omoplata ( Kimura with the legs ) and he’s also featured on our logo! Our logo is the two of us mid roll. If you’ve any questions or positions you’d like me to cover just ask - I love solving problems - especially escapes

I’ve really not thought about it at all - I used to have thousands of videos but a guy deleted them by accident - it’s really just putting out shorts that seems to increase numbers - but I’m not trying to monetise it other than provide a resource for my students - but thank you - it’s humbling to hear that - thank you

Yeah he’s only done a few classes so good to let him relax and play. Jiu Jitsu tends to be much much slower than judo due to the strict time restraints in Olympic judo. At my gym we rarely have time limits at all

Judo came from Jiu Jitsu-

@@robwilliamsbjj8446 yeah but japanese jiu jitsu.

@@Per12189 same same - just a few adaptations / additions on the ground - just as Judo has had additional techniques added over the years - it’s all the same just with a slight change in focus - self defence / kick punch throw grapple and some weapons. Just percentages change as they do in any art or sport. Not all soccer clubs train or play the same but it’s the same sport - martial arts is the same once you’ve done enough at high level.

Thank you 🙏

When I’m rolling from one side to the other solo it’s a solo drill to teach you how to move whilst keeping connected to the ground. Anything’s possible in Jiu Jitsu but it’s also unlikely. There’s also a big difference between “ giving “ your back and having it “ taken “ - I don’t mind giving my back if that’s the best option.

Watch the other video where I’m demonstrating with someone.

I was privileged to place all his stripes on his Red Belt in Hawaii. Relson and his Hawaiian guys are very good friends and we all talk the same style of Jiu Jitsu- self defence first/ defence first. Rio was a violent place and if you’re young and in a fighting family it’ll find you. Was awesome spending a few days with Relson whilst he trained special forces and police guys - 99% of the Gracie SD is great.

Cheers mate

Thank you 🙏

I’m trying to upload a few videos about this. Most fights start standing almost chest to chest , so judo style trips and throws are perfect. O Soto Gari, o Ouchi Gari are great as you don’t have to go to the ground. If they push you then Sasae and de ashi barai.

Not worst - but are situation dependant and can have consequences- foot trips etc are high percentage and low risk

Mostly every leg technique from Judo. BJJ needs to returns to his mother art.

@@Per12189 Judo came from Jiu Jitsu- yes practitioners of both should kick punch throw and grapple in practical ways

Thank YOU very much! If there’s anything you struggle with that I might be able to shed some light on just ask.

@@robwilliamsbjj8446 Thanks you! So Yes actually i would like to watch some instructional about: 1)how to set up a Kata Guruma 2) how to anticipate the "guard pulled" by throw them before they actually pull 3) how to Grip Fight in order to obtain advantage for a throw. Many thanks

@@alessiochiaramonte8388 kata Guruma is a throw I’ve learned but never used at all in a randori or fight situation - I think there’d be some amazing tutorials on it online. Pulling guard is very hard to predict unless you know the fighter , the school they come from to know their habits. Also traditionally guard pullers were lanky with poor posture and no butt and typically walked duck footed. These days it’s so prolific you can’t tell based on body type but definitely some schools prefer it and do no throwing. We do zero guard pulling at the gym as I don’t want to encourage it. As always with facing most types of guard don’t allow the soles of their feet to touch you. Check out my video about “ Dirty Feet” - a game we play to teach students not to allow feet on them. I know a little about grip fighting but no expert when it comes to standup. It’s a real science the judo guys have really invested in. I know a few basics. I’d assume it really depends on the throws you specialise in - I’d start there. Are you taller than average for your weight? Are you shorter? I teach a few basic combinations for each scenario. Will post more tmw - filmed last night but videos won’t upload sorry.

@@robwilliamsbjj8446 All right! Thanks Again!

Thank you - 🙏
