The white belt who is secretly a 10 year judo black belt competitor who outweighs you by about 4 stone and nearly breaks your neck with a brutal throw. Thought I was gonna die lol
You forgot the "martial artist." Someone that has training or expertise in say Muay Thai/ Boxing/ Judo / Karate / Taekwondo but wants to be more wellrounded.
I remember my first session. I had done gym for 7 years. And a purple belt who was very polite told me to show me my gym strength. He casually was about to pop my arm out within 15 seconds. And I'd like to think I was fairly strong. I was benching 140kgs for a full set at 78kgs. Boy did I get thrown around like a ragdoll. His hand grip was insane. I couldn't believe how strong he was for someone slim. And of course I gassed out in about 40 seconds anyway. Then a gifted 15 year old built like a truck tapped me out 5 times in one round. Its shocking to understand how little to nothing the average person knows, but they think they know and think they can do something on the ground against a trained opponent. I was deluded, it opened my eyes. Over a year down the track. Still stripe one. But man I feel so good.
I went to my friends class to try it out and I never understood how someone could get caught in a triangle choke prior to that. I got put in a triangle twice and after 3 rounds I felt like I had to throw up and pass out.
lol yea. i was telling an "out of shape" co worker that i was tapped several times by all the females in the class, and his response was "man, if i worked out for a month there aint no way a girl could tap me out!" lmao.......uh sir, you could work out for 5 years but if you dont get some grappling experience you WILL get tapped out by damn near everyone in the class, everynight. people are just delerious. Theyve ran these movies through their heads and think theyve created the muscle memory just by watching television......its some sad shit, but great for us!
I've just started training jiujitsu at my 33 years old. I started learnng English a couple of years ago completely from scratch and now I can watch your videos.

@@pppww4399 we lived in Belarus in Zhodina, Minsk, Azertso, till I was four years old then on to Russia proper in Mtsensk and Orel till I was 12 so reading is only okay seriously? you thought, popular than ? ? in the Belarusian brotherhood?...
Ah. Thank you for making it clear what he was trying to say. I just read it as he was training for the ufc. I do have a question tho. Is it frowned upon for that answer to be given as a new student?
I’m a straight gym bro converting to bjj, deadlift is 600lbs, bench is 325 and squat is 405. I’m 6 ft 214 lbs, I remember walking into a bjj gym the first time I was nervously excited, I couldn’t wait to impress everyone with my raw strength(atleast that’s what I thought) I had dudes that were literally 70lbs under me wrapping me up like a snake. I was getting submitted 5+ times per roll. Holy shit that drive home was depressing. My ego was shattered, but I was also extremely amazed and enthralled. How could such average looking dudes just assassinate me like that???? I HAD to learn! been going for three months now and I’m finally making progress! It also helps that the most badass individuals in the gym are also the nicest and make great teachers. Awesome way to make friends.
Same here, I competed in bodybuilding in my late teens, although I did boxing, kick boxing etc but no ground experience. So I always laugh at gym bros who act tough but don’t train in any combat sports. Once you get better in BJJ the strength will definitely help though.
Being a theorist/nerd was helpful for me when I went to a new gym. My first night there, the head coach rolled with me for about an hour. It was EXHAUSTING! However, he told me how surprisingly relaxed I was the whole time. I wanted to think about every little move he made because I wanted to understand how it all came together.
@@jedidoesjiujitsu3177 I definitely get my ass kicked, but I trust I won’t get hurt. So, instead of panicking in a choke, I just relax and learn 😅 But thank you very much
The 30-40 year old is accurate. The strength comes from holding your children, waiting in line for Santa, the apple orchard, Halloween, etc. Those little persons give us our Dad strength. Cardio sucks though, and my children use this to their advantage! Love the videos Jedi!
One of the practitioners at my gym is a girl. She still whoops my ass and it’s been 6 months and I feel like I’m gonna need 6 years to stop it 😭. Hella motivation though to see how technique beats strength any day of the week.
I am the gym guy I guess. I started jiu jitsu 2 weeks ago and everyone compliments how strong I am literally every single day. I hardly know any jiu jitsu techniques, so they always whip me every single match, so my go-to move is to try to just bench press people off of me, lol. Or if they go for my neck to do some weird choke, I grab their hand and muscle it away. I mean what else am I supposed to do I don't know the fucking moves haha
I feel your pain brotha. In the spot you’re in you don’t know much technique, but since you’re a bigger guy no one wants to go easy with you.

@@AdolfHitler-pm3lc Haven't missed a single day. It's been great, not only has my instructor been teaching me, but so have all the other people who I roll with. I learn something every match, and I am pretty much untappable by any blue belts, and can survive purple belts sometimes. I have learned how to triangle and armbar very well, but mostly my defense has improved. I have been tapped so freaking much that I can now notice when i'm about to get submitted a certain way. The way my defense has been so good is because every time I get tapped, I asked how they tapped me and what is the counter. My offense is terrible, but I know how to hold side control very, very well. I also only know one single sweep. It's still very hard for me to face big people 300lb+ because you need great jiu jitsu to beat them and strength isnt as helpful, lol.
You are everyone's favorite person in the gym because you help boost everyone's self esteem and prove the legitimacy of the techniques as well as their training.
You forgot the one kid in the adults class that's stuck in a hellish, tiring, goldilocks zone of barely ever getting submitted but also never submitting anyone else. 😢
@evajones8368dont worry youll be a mat monster soon i guarntee it 💯🙌🏻 rolling with grown adults will make you 20 times better and itll make it a lot easier if you ever decide to compete because youll be competing against other kids your age
I started at 37...kept grinding now 39 earned my blue belt and yes my cardio was garbage but now I can go 20 min to 30 min straight. Its more because I learned how to pace and breathe. I also do cardio outside of the gym.
i started around 38....be 43 in october.....no stripe on white yet......im the guy that goes hard, gets hurt, takes six months off, comes back, makes great progress(i think), gets hurt, takes 3 months off, skips two weeks then quits for 10 months...kinda guy
@@jamesbishop4183 That's just what 40+ is like, tho'. At 43, I remember being indestructible 22, and just shake my head. Never going to stop, even if I'm down to nubbins.
Dude I really enjoy this vid. I’m 64 and just starting Jiu Jitsu, looking forward to training for many years. I wish you all the best in your training, be safe, stay well Peace!
My first class as soon as I walked in at 185 lbs picked out a guy who was 125 and said I will crush him and for the next yr he chocked twisted and everything in between very humbling that was 8yrs ago still luv it and will never stop roll on 🤙
I started Muay Thai with a guy who was a really good athlete. He was a total natural, shredded, broke my nose, and ultimately became the "Ufc guy" when he started fighting in the UFC (Alan Joubin). I didn't feel so bad about getting my nose broken after that.
Was the natural I believe. Had a few guys tell me that they couldn’t believe I never did BJJ. Faced a 3rd stripe blue belt a couple months after I started and he had a comp coming up. He was getting frustrated not being able to do much on me. I was in a vulnerable spot and he cranked on my arm tearing my rotator cuff and labrum. Now, I’m recovering and entered the old timer category 😩
@@jedidoesjiujitsu3177 Lol I am very late to reply but Khabib Nurmagomedov is the GOAT of grappling in UFC. He is very humble and in every fight. He took it to the ground. His training and lifestyle is so unique. He is the best I ever seen
I'm a girl who just started BJJ. Had my 2nd class tonight. So far I love it! Really fun being thrown around. In a way it's cool to see how powerless I am, while also seeing techniques on how to gain control over a situation. I'll be putting my all into each class. PS I love your vids, dude! Deff subscribed. :)
I totally get this. Did my first 3 classes last week. One of the girls in class has been training for not quite a year, and she whipped me around and submitted me like 15 times despite me using all my effort to protect my neck. It was so cool to see what not even a year's training can do up against a regular person off the street.
I'm a girl and I got into jiu jitsu because I always wanted to get into martial arts and finally did. It's super fun! There's also someone who is a 74 year old woman, and she's short. She's a blue belt. :)
Gym bro (powerbuilding), sender, nerd, manual labourer (dairy farm). I like the UFC, but it was actually the Army that introduced me to BJJ, because the Combatives program is pretty much BJJ. When they first introduced us to Combatives at Infantry School, they literally showed us BJJ videos for 30 minutes and told us about the Gracies
Hilarious! You touched on one but didn't do it justice, "The brawler", They go way too hard, every time, injure people and cause drama! They usually don't last. I've been in a few places where the higher belts notice and punish them. Thank God :)
Nice video. It just reminded me of something... Ages ago I was practicing judo and was just awarded a yellow belt a few weeks before it happened. I was slightly bigger than most of my peers and had a decent technique, so for people at the same level as me I was kind of a challenge. Then my instructor asked me to spar with a blue belt, and she just destroyed me. I spent most of the time on the ground. I wasn't even able to try and counter her moves that I was down on the tatami again, and again, and again. Years later I discovered that she kept practicing judo (I didn't) and took part to several international competitions (probably also won a European one, but I'm not sure).
Fam, the old timer is my favorite person in the gym by far. Older practitioners are sometimes riddled by old injuries, so they know 10,000 variations to the moves and know all of the small tricks to get better even if I have mobility issues cause I was a couch potato (insert tears😭 hahaha) . Shout out to Victor!
Lol! I’m an old timer just starting bjj at almost 35! Fortunately, my cardio is still great and that old mom strength is really coming in handy amongst the younger female newbies 🤣🤣🤣. Great video!
I just walked in and said; I don’t know shit, and they said okay... well we gonna teach you some shit, go change and that’s been my life story ever since
We had a guy like that in my gym. He spent the first two weeks playing with a grappling dummy and the next 3 trying to coach blue belts before he stopped coming.
The Olympic Lifter who has explosive hip bumps and nothing else. The power lifter who will grind through your lockdown like it's a heavy squat. The strongman with the unbreakable grip and the deep abiding love of fireman throws.
"I'm a nerdy guy and I do this so I can beat people up." Probably the most honest sentiment ever expressed about this art. And as someone with far too much real-world experience, you really don't want to end up on your back in the real-world if you can at all help it.
Oh heck, I'm the patient! I'm binging your videos while recovering from wrecking my ankle and foot. You crack me up man, your timing and editing is on point. Not to forget the knowledge you bestow upon us.
Some of these apply to other martial arts. I don't do Jujitsu but I felt personally called out when you brought up The Theory Guy and The Patient. Pro tip for perpetual injury sufferers by the way... start a regular program of stability and flexibility focused strength and conditioning. Calisthenics work great and it doesn't have to be a lot, a few minutes a day or a couple hours a week make a massive difference. Took me two dislocated shoulders, and a number of minor low back and knee injuries to get me committed to doing the homework.
I’m 50 and I just laughed my ass off when he describes our strength. Being old man strong sure applies to me, as well as how we are prone to injuries 😂
I am the 47 year old female that just started and loving it. I am the only gal in the class and the one with the totally confused look when the coach explains things. They guys reassure me that the total confusion is normal. Lol
Lol awesome video! Still a white belt and as a Machinist Operator, I’m definitely the manual laborer lol my rolling partners would sometimes get scratched by metal splinters stuck in my hands 😂
For the natural you choose Gordon and Nick - LMAO!!! "natural" - well played, that was brilliant! I am 47 yo, and you are 100% correct - we do gulp down a couple of nails first thing in the morning, but we still take them with coffee :)
Even before i actually started working, i was the manual labor. An impecable fortress of defence and grips that doesn't tire out and bulldozes slowly twords advantage positions. But now i rely less on taking advantage of opponent's blunders and try to make things happen instead
This video is really well done. Sure, everyone likes videos on techniques, but the mental aspect is a nice change. I can identify every single character in here at my gym. Pretty cool to know that you also took a few months of pure beatdown at the beginning too.
39 year old, old timer, gym bro here. Just completed my first week and yes the smaller blue belts LOVED just picking me apart. They were respectful but I could still tell it was very satisfying to them.
I love bjj. Been at it for years, fell off and came back and haven’t stopped since. Although there’s always somebody better than you, if you trying to be the best you can be, you’ll beat 90 percent of people who don’t train it
"the old timer" in my gym we have this white belt older guy in his 50s or so but hes a wrestling coach. When I tell you he has his way with me as a younger fit white belt at 26, HE HAS HIS WAY WITH ME. Its humbling when and older white belt teaches you things.
Yep, I'm the cross between patient and old guy. Though the latter causes former. Years in Judo, torn knees, shoulders. I made my decision to move into BJJ because as the body started breaking down more often, and being nearly 50, even with some extra dad bod cushion you still never get used being thrown at 235lbs dozens of times per class. So I decided to start the easy injury free sport of BJJ! hahaha. Ironically my first week of BJJ, i decided to go back to my Judo dojo to check it out, and playing around reinjured a previously torn meniscus, once I got back to normal then covid hit, and in my state all the schools were forced closed, at this rate I'm probably going to be a white belt forever, haha, been able to sneak in rounds here and there on the down low to try and at least retain knowledge over the year. But I love it, its a great sport, I enjoy the chess match. And the BJJ ground work is light years beyond the Newaza we used to do. I've got a few crafty attacks that are above my basic white belt rank, but the guards and guard retention in BJJ is truly frustrating. Love your videos man, the narration is great and I get to learn a lot from it. Definitely a great learning resource and entertaining as well.
I appreciate the realism in this video! So many of these videos you watch are by people (coaches) that apparently were never white belts or otherwise human in any way! Nice job buddy
I am 33 and an old timer off your list lol. I am hard to submit for the first 10minutes and then I need to catch my breathe. Old man strength is real. I feel it growing daily.
So, I'm the old timer... I got in BJJ couple of months ago and I love it, my daughters came in with me (14 and 5 y.o) we are all having fun. However last friday a big gym guy came to class and he had missed like 5 months classes, we got rolling and he couldn't pass my gaurd got desperate and used a lot of his strength and broke my rib... i'll be back in 3 to 4 weeks.
I hate to admit it, but I am the samurai. 😅 I’m 26 years old, 6’1” 225, very athletically gifted (natty), 1st stripe white belt, training for about 3 months now, and every time after rolling with someone I haven’t rolled with yet they ask if I wrestled in college (I never wrestled). No other white belts really tap me since I started (they used to my first two weeks), and I definitely have been beating up on a few blue belts as of late. I give some purples problems with my guard retention (spider/lasso seems to be my go to), but I’ve yet to submit any. You hit the nail on the head though man! I’m not a spaz white belt (and if you’re reading this and you’re a white belt you know who you are SLOW IT DOWN), and I definitely don’t try to brute my way through anything. I just try and stay competitive and train super hard. That being said, 26 is definitely late to be picking up a sport like this especially since I already have a career and a shit ton of other hobbies, but training 3-4 times a week 2 hours a sessions seems to do the trick alongside lifting weights whenever I can. Great video man 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
As "a patient" white belt this made me a little sad. However, as a true patient white belt. I wont give up. On my first day ever doing bjj I strained a intercostal muscle somehow. Being fragile sucks. I hope I get tougher.
"Old timer" here-- Just got my first hit of the good stuff and I'm freaking hooked. Being over weight in my 40's and a sweaty mess was embarrassing and humbling, but everyone was super cool...
Bro I’m a painter, you got me on spot. Also I noticed just how unconditioned a lot of people in Jiu Jitsu are, literally some are out of breathe just from some few tackles
I'm getting back into BJJ. I did it for 2 months before I broke a few ribs in a car wreck and had to take a break. I was cleared to go back and i'm glad I took the break because I could evaluate the gym I was at and decided it wasn't for me, so Im trying out a new gym and I am super excited to get back at it
I'm the girl! And you're right, my ex did get me into. Because he was physically abusive and when I get out, I decided that no one was EVER going to put their hands on me again!! So I started BJJ.
I am the theorist at my gym. Ever since I started training in april 2023 I carried a little notebook with me to write everything down. Then I rewrite the texts and put them into a document which is now already 30 pages of BJJ techniques :)
I did 2 years of boxing. just started kyokishin karate. im def loving it. but i also wanna learn jiu jitsu cause of all these nice locks and grapplings i wanna combine it. the more i learn the more i love martial arts!
I hope you see this comment. Thus far I am enjoying and learning from your videos. Kudos. 1 remark about this video, suggesting that LeBron is not a “nerdy” type or one who does not exactly put a lot of thought in his (or does not have too) craft is incorrect. Same as for other sportsmen or women, like say a C. Ronaldo, he puts a lot of time and thought in conditioning, nutrition etc. Next to this he allocates material time and effort towards studying the principles, techniques of his craft. He is considered a purest and student of his art/sport. He also seems to apply his nerdy traits to other elements of his life as evidenced by his varied interests and succes in other fields. Also one to look up too whether you are a fan of this particular sport/craft/art or not.
Ah man, you forgot me..... the 7 foot 300 pound giant that really can't be moved and has to be constantly reminded that I'm there to learn technique, not to just toss everyone around like dolls. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
50% old timer (i'm 36 and loved your description of old man strength), 50% theorist XD Thankfully I've always kept up my fitness and before starting BJJ was doing a fair bit of bouldering: so my grips, back and core strength have come in really handy! Also do yoga so my hip flexibility is actually better than guys half my age (also handy!) Cheers for the vid :)
On my first day we were rolling, and I was rolling against a blue belt (he’s very good also) but he was teaching me some things and then i was go 100% on me. And my god I had an a absolute blast. I get to bring out my competitive side and get to go all out with my energy. And that was when I knew I was hooked to the sport
I am a combo of the "Old Timer" and the "Gym Bro" with a new one, "The Crossover" (someone with experience in a different martial art) I am in my mid-30s, and really see and feel that I am slower than I was 40lbs and 10 years ago. However, in those last 10 years, I have been powerlifting, so it's 25lbs of muscle and 15lbs of fat. So I do have that strength and mass at 200lbs when I want it, but it depletes my energy bar quickly. I also learned just enough MMA going through the Army's hand to hand fight school to frustrate the other White Belts and newer Blue Belts, and make things a little more interesting for the Purple Belts and up. I am also very quick to give the other practitioners the credit they have earned and tap. My joints are harder to repair than my ego, so when someone gets a technique on me, I tell them "You got me, good job!" If it's particularly gnarly, I ask what it was, and how I fell prey to it. So far so good.

@evajones8368dont worry youll be a mat monster soon i guarntee it 💯🙌🏻 rolling with grown adults will make you 20 times better and itll make it a lot easier if you ever decide to compete because youll be competing against other kids your age
I started at 37...kept grinding now 39 earned my blue belt and yes my cardio was garbage but now I can go 20 min to 30 min straight. Its more because I learned how to pace and breathe. I also do cardio outside of the gym.
You a truly a Vanilla Gorilla Killa!
i started around 38....be 43 in october.....no stripe on white yet......im the guy that goes hard, gets hurt, takes six months off, comes back, makes great progress(i think), gets hurt, takes 3 months off, skips two weeks then quits for 10 months...kinda guy
@@jamesbishop4183 That's just what 40+ is like, tho'. At 43, I remember being indestructible 22, and just shake my head. Never going to stop, even if I'm down to nubbins.
Dude I really enjoy this vid. I’m 64 and just starting Jiu Jitsu, looking forward to training for many years. I wish you all the best in your training, be safe, stay well Peace!
the manual labourer is soo true, even when youre clearly more yoked than them they grip strengths double yours lol
It’s unnatural lmao 😆
I am the manual laborer at both the karate dojo and mma gym I go to 😂
The 5’ 7 140lb mechanic with the strongest grip in the gym....
Lmao thats why im better with gui
Wrestler of 15 years and now manual laborer for 10. Been playing mainly gi now for a year and completely fell in love with it.
My first class as soon as I walked in at 185 lbs picked out a guy who was 125 and said I will crush him and for the next yr he chocked twisted and everything in between very humbling that was 8yrs ago still luv it and will never stop roll on 🤙
Hell yeah brother!!
I started Muay Thai with a guy who was a really good athlete. He was a total natural, shredded, broke my nose, and ultimately became the "Ufc guy" when he started fighting in the UFC (Alan Joubin). I didn't feel so bad about getting my nose broken after that.
There’s some crazy athletes out there!
Was the natural I believe. Had a few guys tell me that they couldn’t believe I never did BJJ. Faced a 3rd stripe blue belt a couple months after I started and he had a comp coming up. He was getting frustrated not being able to do much on me. I was in a vulnerable spot and he cranked on my arm tearing my rotator cuff and labrum. Now, I’m recovering and entered the old timer category 😩
Haha
@@jedidoesjiujitsu3177 Lol I am very late to reply but Khabib Nurmagomedov is the GOAT of grappling in UFC. He is very humble and in every fight. He took it to the ground. His training and lifestyle is so unique. He is the best I ever seen
I'm a girl who just started BJJ. Had my 2nd class tonight. So far I love it! Really fun being thrown around. In a way it's cool to see how powerless I am, while also seeing techniques on how to gain control over a situation. I'll be putting my all into each class. PS I love your vids, dude! Deff subscribed. :)
😳 😳
In exact same situation, with the same feelings xD
I totally get this. Did my first 3 classes last week. One of the girls in class has been training for not quite a year, and she whipped me around and submitted me like 15 times despite me using all my effort to protect my neck. It was so cool to see what not even a year's training can do up against a regular person off the street.
We def need more girls!
you still doing it?
I'm a girl and I got into jiu jitsu because I always wanted to get into martial arts and finally did. It's super fun! There's also someone who is a 74 year old woman, and she's short. She's a blue belt. :)
Great video.. I was wondering where I'd fit in... And then there it was... OLD TIMER😂
Always Young at heart !
Old timers are awesome. Soon to be one.
Lol old timer is me. I am 37 and just took my first class Monday. Yes I was out of breathe but was told I was strong
@@dethzero8337 you’ll be there soon! It takes a little time to get the lungs use to grappling. I roll at least 2x week for at least 30 minutes.
Old man strength is real... and scary. Like what did you guys just max out stats from being alive too long!?
Gym bro (powerbuilding), sender, nerd, manual labourer (dairy farm).
I like the UFC, but it was actually the Army that introduced me to BJJ, because the Combatives program is pretty much BJJ. When they first introduced us to Combatives at Infantry School, they literally showed us BJJ videos for 30 minutes and told us about the Gracies
Hilarious! You touched on one but didn't do it justice, "The brawler", They go way too hard, every time, injure people and cause drama! They usually don't last. I've been in a few places where the higher belts notice and punish them. Thank God :)
But they’re undefeated in the streets lol
Old timer here...45 and just got my blue after 22 months.
Boom!
Man, I’m 46 and it’s my 2nd month. Feeling rejuvenated ...happiest I’ve been in a bit.
Dean lister is the person who said why ignore 50 percent of the body
I literally just watched that and said the exact same thing lol
You right. I think it’s funnier that he found out on JRE; saying that caused one of the deadliest bjj teams to be created lol
@@jedidoesjiujitsu3177 i also found out on JRE
@@ccc-qo6ls actually, Dean Lister is a bipedal arachnid in a specialized silk skin web that he spins.
Nice video. It just reminded me of something... Ages ago I was practicing judo and was just awarded a yellow belt a few weeks before it happened. I was slightly bigger than most of my peers and had a decent technique, so for people at the same level as me I was kind of a challenge. Then my instructor asked me to spar with a blue belt, and she just destroyed me. I spent most of the time on the ground. I wasn't even able to try and counter her moves that I was down on the tatami again, and again, and again. Years later I discovered that she kept practicing judo (I didn't) and took part to several international competitions (probably also won a European one, but I'm not sure).
Fam, the old timer is my favorite person in the gym by far. Older practitioners are sometimes riddled by old injuries, so they know 10,000 variations to the moves and know all of the small tricks to get better even if I have mobility issues cause I was a couch potato (insert tears😭 hahaha) . Shout out to Victor!
There’s some truth In here!
“I wonder which one he is?” *wears a full send shirt*
Definitely the nerd lol
Lol! I’m an old timer just starting bjj at almost 35! Fortunately, my cardio is still great and that old mom strength is really coming in handy amongst the younger female newbies 🤣🤣🤣. Great video!
I just walked in and said; I don’t know shit, and they said okay... well we gonna teach you some shit, go change and that’s been my life story ever since
The teacher - the new white belt
Who comes in and is trying to teach you how to do the techniques
I know this person lol
The best is when you sink a submission, and they start explaining how to finish it. Or even just say "alright now finish it bro"
@@dylancarey734 too true lmao
We had a guy like that in my gym. He spent the first two weeks playing with a grappling dummy and the next 3 trying to coach blue belts before he stopped coming.
Fuck... i'm this person🤣
The Olympic Lifter who has explosive hip bumps and nothing else.
The power lifter who will grind through your lockdown like it's a heavy squat.
The strongman with the unbreakable grip and the deep abiding love of fireman throws.
"I'm a nerdy guy and I do this so I can beat people up." Probably the most honest sentiment ever expressed about this art. And as someone with far too much real-world experience, you really don't want to end up on your back in the real-world if you can at all help it.
Oh heck, I'm the patient! I'm binging your videos while recovering from wrecking my ankle and foot. You crack me up man, your timing and editing is on point. Not to forget the knowledge you bestow upon us.
Some of these apply to other martial arts. I don't do Jujitsu but I felt personally called out when you brought up The Theory Guy and The Patient.
Pro tip for perpetual injury sufferers by the way... start a regular program of stability and flexibility focused strength and conditioning. Calisthenics work great and it doesn't have to be a lot, a few minutes a day or a couple hours a week make a massive difference. Took me two dislocated shoulders, and a number of minor low back and knee injuries to get me committed to doing the homework.
The natural actually destroys my ego and keeps me up at night 😂
Me too lol
I’m 50 and I just laughed my ass off when he describes our strength. Being old man strong sure applies to me, as well as how we are prone to injuries 😂
I know this feeling 😂
I am the 47 year old female that just started and loving it. I am the only gal in the class and the one with the totally confused look when the coach explains things. They guys reassure me that the total confusion is normal. Lol
Yeahs same, all guys in the school are pretty supportive and fair to me, I like it so much. Just statrted!
We are a few women though
My guy I thought you were rapping in the beginning
💀
Lol awesome video! Still a white belt and as a Machinist Operator, I’m definitely the manual laborer lol my rolling partners would sometimes get scratched by metal splinters stuck in my hands 😂
Haha
This is so accurate, I'm the old timer as I started bjj at 42, I need at least 20 minutes to warm up or I'm getting injured. Loved this vid
Haha. That’s how I train now
#5 Hits home, forgot how much strength I’ve gained since I started doing carpentry two years ago.
It’s that function strength!
Old timer here - started bjj last year at 45, and damn proud!
Oss!
I'm a new-comer to this channel, only watching about a dozen episodes. This one is my favorite! comedy, transitions, and jokes... thumbs up dude!
For the natural you choose Gordon and Nick - LMAO!!! "natural" - well played, that was brilliant! I am 47 yo, and you are 100% correct - we do gulp down a couple of nails first thing in the morning, but we still take them with coffee :)
Haha it all makes sense!!
Old man strength 💪 hell yeah . finally getting started at a old age .
Even before i actually started working, i was the manual labor. An impecable fortress of defence and grips that doesn't tire out and bulldozes slowly twords advantage positions. But now i rely less on taking advantage of opponent's blunders and try to make things happen instead
My heart has never been happier to see you incuded Niall Horan dressed as an old man in a video.
This video is really well done. Sure, everyone likes videos on techniques, but the mental aspect is a nice change. I can identify every single character in here at my gym. Pretty cool to know that you also took a few months of pure beatdown at the beginning too.
Thanks Vince!
Everyone’s first year is a little ruff
39 year old, old timer, gym bro here. Just completed my first week and yes the smaller blue belts LOVED just picking me apart. They were respectful but I could still tell it was very satisfying to them.
Patient here. seriously hate how much I love jitsu 🤙
Lmao 😂
"I wanna be a world champion coach!"
- My personal favorite
Haaaha
I love bjj. Been at it for years, fell off and came back and haven’t stopped since. Although there’s always somebody better than you, if you trying to be the best you can be, you’ll beat 90 percent of people who don’t train it
That’s a great mindset!
It's not just late 30s / early 40s who start - 46 and started the Jujitsu journey this october!
That’s awesome!
Did you wrestle at some point?
And also how are your ears?
Same. It’s the best
Dont forget the new guy who never did jiu jistu but watches eddie bravos 10th planet moves and uses his techniques and it works
Lol
"the old timer" in my gym we have this white belt older guy in his 50s or so but hes a wrestling coach. When I tell you he has his way with me as a younger fit white belt at 26, HE HAS HIS WAY WITH ME. Its humbling when and older white belt teaches you things.
My form of The Laborer was a much older dude who used to teach trapeze artists in the circus
That’s a career right there!
Man he must have been a monster with grips.
Yep, I'm the cross between patient and old guy. Though the latter causes former. Years in Judo, torn knees, shoulders. I made my decision to move into BJJ because as the body started breaking down more often, and being nearly 50, even with some extra dad bod cushion you still never get used being thrown at 235lbs dozens of times per class. So I decided to start the easy injury free sport of BJJ! hahaha.
Ironically my first week of BJJ, i decided to go back to my Judo dojo to check it out, and playing around reinjured a previously torn meniscus, once I got back to normal then covid hit, and in my state all the schools were forced closed, at this rate I'm probably going to be a white belt forever, haha, been able to sneak in rounds here and there on the down low to try and at least retain knowledge over the year. But I love it, its a great sport, I enjoy the chess match. And the BJJ ground work is light years beyond the Newaza we used to do. I've got a few crafty attacks that are above my basic white belt rank, but the guards and guard retention in BJJ is truly frustrating.
Love your videos man, the narration is great and I get to learn a lot from it. Definitely a great learning resource and entertaining as well.
🤣😂🤣🥋im an old timer white belt Stoner 39 getting back in shape.. One love 👽🌲🔥💨💨
I’m definitely the nerd lol
Burn one for me my man!
I appreciate the realism in this video! So many of these videos you watch are by people (coaches) that apparently were never white belts or otherwise human in any way!
Nice job buddy
Props for recognizing the Old timers like me!
Oss
I am 33 and an old timer off your list lol. I am hard to submit for the first 10minutes and then I need to catch my breathe. Old man strength is real. I feel it growing daily.
Great job man! Your channel is going to blow up soon enough!
Thanks my man!
So, I'm the old timer... I got in BJJ couple of months ago and I love it, my daughters came in with me (14 and 5 y.o) we are all having fun. However last friday a big gym guy came to class and he had missed like 5 months classes, we got rolling and he couldn't pass my gaurd got desperate and used a lot of his strength and broke my rib... i'll be back in 3 to 4 weeks.
Holy shit I’m the patient. I’m actually a little happy to know I can’t be the only one to have gone through this.
Bruhhh the labourer is so fucking true. A lot of people in Australia are tradesmen and are so strong. They feel so much stronger than some lifters!

That's me
Me too 😂
#metoo. 37 and got the manual labourer grip.
@@Stuffandstuff974 i'm 37 and didn't fully realise how soft id become until my first bjj session. took me weeks to recover fully
I hate to admit it, but I am the samurai. 😅 I’m 26 years old, 6’1” 225, very athletically gifted (natty), 1st stripe white belt, training for about 3 months now, and every time after rolling with someone I haven’t rolled with yet they ask if I wrestled in college (I never wrestled). No other white belts really tap me since I started (they used to my first two weeks), and I definitely have been beating up on a few blue belts as of late. I give some purples problems with my guard retention (spider/lasso seems to be my go to), but I’ve yet to submit any. You hit the nail on the head though man! I’m not a spaz white belt (and if you’re reading this and you’re a white belt you know who you are SLOW IT DOWN), and I definitely don’t try to brute my way through anything. I just try and stay competitive and train super hard. That being said, 26 is definitely late to be picking up a sport like this especially since I already have a career and a shit ton of other hobbies, but training 3-4 times a week 2 hours a sessions seems to do the trick alongside lifting weights whenever I can.
Great video man 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Also, if any other new practitioners have questions about getting into it, just @ me!
Thanks brotha! Keep it up 👍🏽
As "a patient" white belt this made me a little sad. However, as a true patient white belt. I wont give up. On my first day ever doing bjj I strained a intercostal muscle somehow. Being fragile sucks. I hope I get tougher.
Keep it up! Everyone has their own challenges to overcome. You got this!
How much do you weigh?
"Old timer" here-- Just got my first hit of the good stuff and I'm freaking hooked. Being over weight in my 40's and a sweaty mess was embarrassing and humbling, but everyone was super cool...
The “what you saying bro? You know I’m natty” killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro I’m a painter, you got me on spot. Also I noticed just how unconditioned a lot of people in Jiu Jitsu are, literally some are out of breathe just from some few tackles
Almost forgot to like the video until you told me to do so
Nice 👍🏽
I've never trained BJJ and I definitely fall into the Old-timer category but this video hyped me up enough to make me want to consider it :)
Do it!
I'm getting back into BJJ. I did it for 2 months before I broke a few ribs in a car wreck and had to take a break. I was cleared to go back and i'm glad I took the break because I could evaluate the gym I was at and decided it wasn't for me, so Im trying out a new gym and I am super excited to get back at it
I'm the girl! And you're right, my ex did get me into. Because he was physically abusive and when I get out, I decided that no one was EVER going to put their hands on me again!! So I started BJJ.
this dead seriously made me wanna go to BJJ I did MMA since I was a kid (taekwondo) and I'm probably gonna be "the girl"😂. and Jedi is cute too❣️👀
Awe thanks
As a girl who earned a blue belt in bjj, I got into it because of UFC/ being a Rhonda Rousey fan girl. No regrets :D
The judo or wrestling champion who wears a white belt but destroys everyone when rolling with other whitebelts
Meet them before
I am the theorist at my gym. Ever since I started training in april 2023 I carried a little notebook with me to write everything down.
Then I rewrite the texts and put them into a document which is now already 30 pages of BJJ techniques :)
Bro you forgot about the gym hopper. Lol that was me😂
Aka the digital nomad lol
I did 2 years of boxing. just started kyokishin karate. im def loving it. but i also wanna learn jiu jitsu cause of all these nice locks and grapplings i wanna combine it. the more i learn the more i love martial arts!
Do it!
"When you ask them to shoot and they get turf toe for 3 months" lmaaaaoooooo that is 100% me. No shooting drills for me.
Lol. My toes are all jacked from shooting.
It’s a ruf job. Lmao
Catch wrestlers first day, takes down and taps all blue belts

I hope you see this comment. Thus far I am enjoying and learning from your videos. Kudos. 1 remark about this video, suggesting that LeBron is not a “nerdy” type or one who does not exactly put a lot of thought in his (or does not have too) craft is incorrect. Same as for other sportsmen or women, like say a C. Ronaldo, he puts a lot of time and thought in conditioning, nutrition etc. Next to this he allocates material time and effort towards studying the principles, techniques of his craft. He is considered a purest and student of his art/sport. He also seems to apply his nerdy traits to other elements of his life as evidenced by his varied interests and succes in other fields. Also one to look up too whether you are a fan of this particular sport/craft/art or not.
Ah man, you forgot me..... the 7 foot 300 pound giant that really can't be moved and has to be constantly reminded that I'm there to learn technique, not to just toss everyone around like dolls. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
50% old timer (i'm 36 and loved your description of old man strength), 50% theorist XD
Thankfully I've always kept up my fitness and before starting BJJ was doing a fair bit of bouldering: so my grips, back and core strength have come in really handy! Also do yoga so my hip flexibility is actually better than guys half my age (also handy!)
Cheers for the vid :)
I’ll bet hella people are like “dude how you so strong” lol
Keep up the good work!

On my first day we were rolling, and I was rolling against a blue belt (he’s very good also) but he was teaching me some things and then i was go 100% on me. And my god I had an a absolute blast. I get to bring out my competitive side and get to go all out with my energy. And that was when I knew I was hooked to the sport

*Burnt lol
Chad is the name... BJJ has changed my life and the people are just as cool as the art
I am a combo of the "Old Timer" and the "Gym Bro" with a new one, "The Crossover" (someone with experience in a different martial art) I am in my mid-30s, and really see and feel that I am slower than I was 40lbs and 10 years ago. However, in those last 10 years, I have been powerlifting, so it's 25lbs of muscle and 15lbs of fat. So I do have that strength and mass at 200lbs when I want it, but it depletes my energy bar quickly. I also learned just enough MMA going through the Army's hand to hand fight school to frustrate the other White Belts and newer Blue Belts, and make things a little more interesting for the Purple Belts and up.
I am also very quick to give the other practitioners the credit they have earned and tap. My joints are harder to repair than my ego, so when someone gets a technique on me, I tell them "You got me, good job!" If it's particularly gnarly, I ask what it was, and how I fell prey to it. So far so good.
