Totally agree with you. I've said for years Bruno Frazatto instructionals are hidden gems (I include the passing set). This set + Rafa Mendes materials are the base of my Guard Retention game.
@@kenoh9567 💯. Just remastered it too so all the video is better quality now on Digitsu. Going to do the same with Bruno’s guard passing course soon too.
What should you do to get better if everyone at your gym is better than you? I've been doing BJJ at this place for a year now, and the only growth I see is when occasional drop-ins come through. That is proof I guess that I am getting better, but what should I focus on when everyone is simply better at everything?
It can be tough to measure yourself against others at your gym. Especially if they are training as much as you and you train with them often. This is because they are getting better too, and are very familiar with your game. I had one training partner I rolled with a few days a week for years. We had the most boring rolls because we'd just nullify each others games. Like you mentioned a good measure of progress could be training with those from other gyms. Also, at only a year in, new students who don't know anything. Remember how not too long ago you probably struggled against other complete beginners. That being said, I think the best way to get better faster, especially as a beginner, is to simply train more 😀 Once your game feels well developed, one of the next things I found helpful is to purposely work on new skills. You'll most often be WORSE at first., especially when you're ignoring your "A" game. But in the long run you'll make more progress. A common trap is to only do the things you're already good at to not "lose" any rolls in training. The problem with this though, it makes it hard to add new skills into your game.
@@Shawn_A_BJJ Thank you for the message. This is huge advice, and I really appreciate it. I'll continue to practice and get better. I'll work on my not A game stuff and be patient. Thank you for the advice, I'll be back!

Nice room, is that NYC?
Thank you! AI helped me make it. it is NYC (where I live).
yeaaaaa
Why does this guy look so much like knight jujitsu
That’s not new. I trained with a professor from Brazil a year ago, who gave a seminar on this.
Who said its new?
That works good on traditional stack passes.
