As a white belt, I appreciate any instruction I can get from the higher belts. I have learned a ton from those that are willing to stop and teach me instead of just smashing and smiling.
I think it also depends on your relationship with the student. I find that if someone regularly asks me for feedback or information after rolling or during rep work, they generally want more of that stuff during rolling. If I don’t have a coaching relationship with someone or they’re not particularly inquisitive, I just roll with them, try to capitalize on those mistakes, and leave it at that until either they initiate a conversation about their game.
I might have to remember this. I got a free membership to my gym in exchange for coaching people in wrestling on Wednesday and Saturday nights, and I find a lot of people struggle with the moves I like teaching since upper body techniques are often more technical.
Regarding strength i don't mine using whatever strength i have but after a few seconds of forcing against each other i usually just give it up, if i cannot do the technique clean i'd rather not power through it. I also don't usually smash weaker oponents, i let them breath a little when exhausted and i work on specific stuff a bit slower, focusing on understanding what's going on. I might give away a sweep if they have a good try. Some guys that are better and stronger than me just smash me, always the same way, always very strong. I still learn but i don't feel it's optimal.
This is good advice, but there's a slightly more time efficient way that will build skills faster. If you notice your friend in half guard. 1 Bring his attention to it by asking a question, like why wasn't that grip working for you in that situation? 2 Put him back into that situation and play. 3 Show him your grip solution. 4 Play with the position again.
I used to tell oponents "this was a crank not a choke" and such, really meaning to help. But the internet made fun of people like me too much so now i just shut up 😅. If someone does it to me I don't mind, usually i ask myself if my choke was a crank but if somebody tells me something i assume good faith. Ego is on both sides in this situation. Same for oponents teaching me, that's all good i appreciate the feedback. Don't deplete me of an opportunity to actually execute my technique in a live roll though, some opportunities are precious.
Yes just be stronger! I struggle with this. I'm also a new black belt and have been running my school. I've been dealing with some health issues and got smoked by one of my students and it sucks not performing but I can't tell my student to take it easy on me I just gotta get more technical as I work to overcome these health issues.
Being a good coach doesn't mean you have to be able to beat everyone on the mat. Phil Jackson couldn't beat Jordan on the court. But he was still a great coach.
Hello there. I’ve just subscribed. I’ve trained Muay Thai primarily for the last 4 years with the goal of adding BJJ for defense (Think Ed O’Neil from Modern Family). My question is I have injuries all around and have already gone for my first class. Like Muay Thai, everyone’s cool. Everyone was cool with going easy with me especially after I told them my shoulders are F-ed and I tore my ACL last year (all recovered but still). My question is do folks like me still get to progress with these issues? Anyone on here like this?
Ey bruv i recently started jujitsu, do you have any tech or insight to improving breathing? Im struggling to breathe when i have people on top of me. At this point im trying to survive and identify my weakness but i dont know how to improve
I think this is being way over complicated...if youre a highrr belt or even just a good friend feel free to stop and correct if im doing something wrong
The most annoying coaching was that Australian kid yelling -move you gotta move- at the hillbilly hammer when he was being smashed by Gordon. Over and over. So much yuck.
I love all of the content and am still very new to this world but I would say that you hit on when it becomes annoying early in the video, if they are in a (perceived) advantageous position and you're trying to coach them through something I would find that annoying because I'm feeling you're just doing that to get out of a bad position. If you're in a 50/50 position, or a dominant position, and you go back to why my previously advantageous position didn't succeed then I know you're not using coaching to escape, you're using it to coach. Use BJJ/technique to escape, use coaching to coach.

The one thing I strongly dislike is when another white belt is trying to give me instructions. It’s not taken well.

Chewy, would you be able to make a video on the whole ecological vs traditional training debate?

@ definitely! But it’s hard when I was coming up my professors smoked me all the time.
This is exactly how I do it as well

This will be taken out of context
How so?
@@Chewjitsu I mean in the title you admit to smashing your students, that wouldn't be ideal out of context
@@genericnickname1 You must not train then.
@@heartattackspecial trust me I do bud, it's just that it sounds funny and nothing else
@@Chewjitsu"I smash them"
