As a non-athletic, not coordinated, not particularly strong 9 mo whitebelt with no prior grappling experience at a gym with a high percentage of collegiate wrestlers... every day is a nightmare.
In my experience so far, white belts expect the other person to know how to defend, and are so new to winning that they get more emotionally attached to their submission if they think they’re close. That’s why I don’t like white belts doing heel hooks personally. Some of em turn into Palhares when they think they’re losing the sub😂 Enjoyed hearing y’alls thoughts on these things, keep it up🙌🏻
This is why I don't think white belts should be doing heel hooks etc in live rolling. Teach them the moves, drill it with them, but don't let them do it in sparring till Blue/Purple.
I think this reveals more about you getting emotionally attached to not getting tapped by a white belt than anything else. You should know that the breaking mechanism of heel hooks requires control of the heel. That means you're not in danger as long your training partner doesn't control the heel. That's the moment where you can safely go through your defenses. You should tap if they gain control of your heel. You should never make it to the point where they're cranking it. You got caught, now let it go. The only way I could see this going wrong is if they ignore the tap. This is dangerous in any submission, and someone who ignores the tap should be banned for life from the gym.
I got choked out by a female 50lbs lighter than me and a 13 year old kid as a white belt. My proudest moment was being told my everybody that I was very smooth and had a good pace and sense for what was happening
All I got from this was learn wrestling and leg locks if you want to beat white belts that practice traditional jiu-jitsu... Also defining a spaz is easy... Spazzing out is movement without purpose. .. think about how you can use explosive energy. Tactically to create a scramble when you are in a bad position, people will call that good jiu-jitsu. Meanwhile, if all you do is make explosive movements and create scrambles until you can catch a submission, you will be called a spaz. .. You aren't thinking about defense or offense or tactics, You are relying on explosive energy and dumb luck to catch submissions and you are probably the type of person that will hurt someone else because you will crank a submission way too hard. Everything you do should be measured. You should always be thinking about the return on investment for energy expenditure... And you should never be relying on explosive energy and strength as the key component of your game. Explosive energy and strength is a tactic that should be used intentionally in certain situations to certain effect... . I'm not saying that you should never rely on explosive energy and creating scrambles.. against certain opponents that might be all you have... But if you don't know how to think in terms of energy conservation, defense, and tactics, and the only thing you do is rely on explosive strength to create scrambles. Then you aren't really doing jujitsu you are a spaz.
@@user-qn6fw8fg4b I don't take issue with what you are saying at all. I work on my wrestling skills and top game and it is fucking exhausting. If I try to do 100% of my rounds like that I will gas out quick. .. I had to dial it back and get better at playing open guard because most of my opponents were bigger / better than me and my return on investment trying to play a wrestling/top game against them just wasn't there. ... I'm gradually getting better at all of it, and I would say slowing down and trying to control the pace from bottom rather than force a top game has definitely made me less of a spaz... But to each their own. Cheers!!
Nicky Rod is a such a meat head but he has the special sauce that makes you feel like he's at least having fun and not taking it all too serious, and that makes you overlook his dumb jock personality.

in the martial art I trained in, it's the same with any joint lock, and joint lock throws and take downs - we introduce the concept extremely early, but only operate in a slow motion process so there is time for everyone to perceive what is occurring to them and their opponent as stress and fear build up from a joint being manipulated. Same method for striking and footwork, you bring forth the concept, practice it in slow motion, build up the confidence to know how to respond instead of react, and as progression occurs, you can up the speed. Giving and taking a highly dangerous move in full speed really isn't that effective for training, survival instincts kick in and the part of the brain that is creative gets sidelined for lower parts of the brain that is ready to "save us".
Starting BJJ about a year ago was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. I felt like I was naturally good at it, at least compared to other… because when we first started out everyone was mostly “white belt” given there were a few who trained wrestling a lot in the, judo, mma.. but for BJJ everyone was white belt.. I destroyed it, like I remember tapping out this guy that was near 100lb heavier than me 2x in a row… there was this other guy like had to be 6’4, light skinned tattoos all around his body and we were about to go “live” and all I was thinking is “I’m about to get murdered, look at him . I’m 5’7 160lb” …. He was the easiest person I’ve face in my life training , I literally held him against the wall for 5min till the round was over and he couldn’t get up (I didn’t know any subs really at the time besides chokes so against him I just played it safe and resorted back to my wrestling) So yeah, starting BJJ after 2 weeks I learned that just because someone is big doesn’t mean they are strong in a fighting element. Then I stopped training for like 3 months or so, came back and was getting destroyed by the white belts now lmao… then after a few more classes I got back into the groove and they were not destroying me anymore, it was more even… so on base level I’d say I’m as good as a white belt who has ~6 months training. Then I was let go from my job in October and haven’t trained since… I think about going back almost everyday but I don’t have the money
YOOO B-TEAM !? 32 year old White belt here with a ? I wrestled in H.S and got Into Jits in AUG was doin good started slow built up to 3 days a week and about in the New Year i get injured from a ARM bar on BOTH my ARMS nothing serious just super sprained for about 3 months .. i didnt feel like i had time to tap and am unsure. but evidence shows i should have tapped earlier . Do i tap once i lose control of the arm ? Was my training partner doin too much ? Will work on more defense but Thanks for the Read OSSS
Conventially speaking tapping before you feel pressure in your elbow, especially like tapping the second they just start falling back, would be a bit early. That being said if you took an injury NOT tapping early then at the very least it's probably called for with that individual. If that person really blasted your arm without tike to tap you should talk to him and maybe your coach about it. Like the b team guys don't even apply breaking pressure at all a lot of the time, if you can't escape once they fall back in like 3 seconds you respect the fact that they could've hurt you and tap. That or at least not going 100% as fast as possible are a better way to do it. That being said you need to really reflect on the situation and sus out who was blame, did they really not give you a chance to tap? Were trying to escape even as you were feeling pain and pressure? Ask yourself these kinds of questions. Who knows it might even be a little on both of you.
Tap verbally too, it's the fastest way to tap and you can use both of your hands to defend or escape for longer. But if the music or ambient gym noise is noisy you gotta use your big boy voice to make sure they hear it
Someone tell Nicky Ryan he has a speech tick where he starts talking with "yea, so" - so that he can stop doing it, and that he's the most thoughtful speaker of the bunch, and deserves his own podcast.
First of all non of these guys have an academy teaching white belts, so teaching white belts leg locks and less injuries is absurd. Ask any school owner what happens if you have white belts leg locking each other? Injuries galore, and you will lose students. That is not a good idea. I completely disagree with White Belts training leg locks.
B team allows white belts now. It’s good to have familiarity with leg locks. Ankle locks are allowed at white belt. Nothing else leg related is allowed until brown belt under IBJJF rules. At the very least, white belts should know how to do an ankle lock and defend it. I don’t think they should try the other leg lock related maneuvers, however, as they are super high risk. I don’t care for leg locks outside of calf slicers and ankle locks, personally, as they can result in catastrophic injuries far more often than upper body related attacks.
It does feel kinda lame and dishonest to market BJJ as a way to "get in shape" with three roided up competitors nodding their heads. No shame to these three for using PED's, thats the sport right now. But saying BJJ will take you from pudgey to Nicky Ryan is lame.
I doubt that Nicky used roids as a teen, he has been training since 13. Also plenty of people who train and dont compete are not using steroids and are in shape
You can actually just do BJJ warmup drills and you will get into damn good shape. The açaí berry juice is just for keeping up with the Jones', because they are chasing a career.
@@dorianurem6203 so you didn't read the comment, cool. I said it was lame to have these three deliver that message. They all three do PEDs. I do think BJJ can help your physical health, but not to that extent, you aren't getting shredded doing it.
"Here's a story about how teaching heelhooks to white belts resulted in a serious injury. Anyway, teaching whitebelts heel hooks to whitebelts is important for preventing injuries". Guys. Listen to yourself.
Nicky breaking a guy’s ankle at White Belt demonstrates why they SHOULD be illegal at that level. I disagree. Let some guys learn some skill and control BEFORE they take limbs and joints that have very little room before injury happens. These guys are young. I understand the logic, but they are wrong. For the dude on the left to say the best thing that could have happened for this guy was Nicky to break his leg is beyond stupid. Maybe Nicky needed more control before he was allowed to use these attacks? Duh. For sure. To say it was alm the other guy’s fault as a White Belt “because he never saw one before” is the ultimate in stupid. Nicky broke his ankle, not the other way around. He was 13 with no control, and the ego and tap was more important than the other man’s health and safety.
Go back to TMA and do katas and be all serious about weird shiet and let the real combat sports be interesting and be about evolving techniques and character please.
Nicky is a mastermind. The fact that he tricked Nicky Rod and Ethan into a "white belt video" is remarkable. However, the reality is that this is a spazz intervention. Even the shot is intentional: Ethan, the giga spazz, is seated close to the light source to be highlighted. J Rod is positioned in the middle to occupy as much of the screen as possible, and Nicky is in the corner in front of Ethan, being as confrontational as possible. You can even tell at 23:14 by J-Rod's face that he realizes this was a setup. Good job, Nicky! You are a genius.
You need to move gym chief, being taught an incomplete system leaves you with incomplete defences. You at least need to know how to defend leg locks, and you can't do that without practice. Move gym, if you only train in a gi, try no gi too, it will increase your skill base.
Finding a mentor is very important too! Doesn’t have to be the main coach, but make close relationships with the upper belts and see if any of them are available to spend more time with you honing in concepts either after class or at open mat.
Nicky is clearly smart, it's like a Jersey Guido's best Danaher impression hahaha - Nah forreal tho if cardio is so important yall need to stop the IN and OUT
@@InvisibleHotdog please keep your opinions to yourself. You think I'm moving to Cuba? Insane. FYI, it's a 11 hour flight from Honduras to Brazil, I've gotten to Texas in 4.
@@fidelfunez no reason to get upset. You wrote it like you wanted to travel to train, not relocate your entire life. You clearly asked if they were gonna expand outside the US, did you think they'd start a school in Honduras considering how expensive JJ classes are? The flight time is a nonsequitor.
I’m so split about the leg locks. On one hand it would be stupid to not allow leg locks. It’s like Danaher said why would you ignore 50% of the human body. On the other hand I like grappling/Jiujitsu techniques that can be applied in MMA or real life fighting situations . And you can definitely leg lock people in MMA but we have seen people getting knocked out or end up in terrible positions, loose fights on the scorecard going for leg locks. It’s simply put extremely risky to go for leg locks when punches are involved. But in purely grappling leg locks are one of the fastest way you can finish a fight and allows you to chase the back. I don’t know I have a love hate relationship with leg locks. But I trained MMA before starting Jiujitsu so that is probably influencing my view on leg locks.
He didn't know they were illegal, the other guy didn't know what it was, education is the issue here. Luta Livre white belts learn leg locks and I haven't heard of major issues there
Craig's absence allows b-team to truly reach their full potential

@@InvisibleHotdog please keep your opinions to yourself. You think I'm moving to Cuba? Insane. FYI, it's a 11 hour flight from Honduras to Brazil, I've gotten to Texas in 4.
@@fidelfunez no reason to get upset. You wrote it like you wanted to travel to train, not relocate your entire life. You clearly asked if they were gonna expand outside the US, did you think they'd start a school in Honduras considering how expensive JJ classes are? The flight time is a nonsequitor.

Ngl tho guy left of rod… idk why I don’t believe a word he says …
I’m so split about the leg locks. On one hand it would be stupid to not allow leg locks. It’s like Danaher said why would you ignore 50% of the human body. On the other hand I like grappling/Jiujitsu techniques that can be applied in MMA or real life fighting situations .
And you can definitely leg lock people in MMA but we have seen people getting knocked out or end up in terrible positions, loose fights on the scorecard going for leg locks. It’s simply put extremely risky to go for leg locks when punches are involved. But in purely grappling leg locks are one of the fastest way you can finish a fight and allows you to chase the back. I don’t know I have a love hate relationship with leg locks. But I trained MMA before starting Jiujitsu so that is probably influencing my view on leg locks.
Once you get to a 50/50 position your out of the way of strikes
Nicky Ryan explaining the exact reason white belts should not be doing heelhooks.
He didn't know they were illegal, the other guy didn't know what it was, education is the issue here. Luta Livre white belts learn leg locks and I haven't heard of major issues there
