brucutu is a great complement in brasil jj. it means you have a strong mental game and a lot of brute force. it doesn't carry any negative meaning, and is usually adressed to the guy who "wins" the roll/fight without too much "yaddaa yadda", just goes straight to the point, not fooling around. your videos on adjustments are great! greetings from Cascavel, Brasil!
I always take it as a compliment. In the world of powerlifting I'm a weakling, so it's nice be told I'm strong when rolling. Unfortunately most guys don't realize I'm going like 60% to preserve my 45 seconds of wind.
I used to be "strong". I could only squat 350 max (for me that's what the average person ought do around, if you do 450+, you are strong), then I broke my back. Now nobody tells me I'm strong lol, I have "chicken legs" now. I guess I really was strong. But there is a difference between being "strong" and being "big".
People get too caught up in the sport aspect of it. They forget the whole point is for the smaller guy to be able to fight the bigger guy with no time limit and be comfortable. I’m 6”1 and started BJJ at 16 and a half stone and I’m now 14 stone and I still get the comments. On the other hand there’s one guy in our class who is like 5”5 and 60kg and he is absolutely nails, I can crush him for a bit but he gets the better of me every time and there’s nothing I can do about it. To me he’s the most efficient exponent of BJJ and the best example in the club because he never complains and if he can do it with no excuses then no one should have any excuses.
he is probably a blue belt, right? As a white belt I can say, at least for the first three months, that is a really frustrating thing when a big guy goes full force on you
Mário Filho I think you misunderstood. I’M the big guy but I’m saying the smallest guy in my club eventually taps me after I’ve crushed him for ages and he never complains, but everyone heavier than him complains. I’m saying he’s the best example of how BJJ should be.
MorganMoogle well there’s also the big guy with the bad attitude of “you’d be dead if you did this to me in a real fight” Well yeah but you have 104 pounds on me. And I would not let you get me to this point in a real fight. I just hate that attitude of being better
Stonger guys will push your technique. We have a firefighter that just started and he is damn strong, but I get him on technique. We have a kid who is flexible, really flexible, I can't pull off a sunk in Americana on him so I have to go for chokes or wrist locks. You have to use your strengths and try and work around theirs.
@@hassanbenhammou2156 I like the Americana because I can sometimes sneak an arm in under the head for a choke. I have only been doing BJJ for 2 months but love it.
Damn man you are so wise. I love listening to your opinions on stuff. I was happy to hear you are a reader of Jordan Peterson. Love your videos. much love brother
Thank you so much for the response Chewy! I been too busy getting offended by it instead of taking it as a compliment. I work hard to stay fit working full time, marriage, two kids, bills, and bjj. So I will smile and thank people for complimenting me even if they are using it as an excuse! #VivaElChewy!
Asked a big blue belt guy today how to break your opponents grips to finish the armbar He just looked at me real strange and was like "what do you mean? you just pull the arm".
Thanks Chewie! While it can be frustrating going against a stronger opponent, it presents the opportunity to work on defense, survival, feeling for your partners imbalance and sometimes just to learn humility. Nobody likes to lose, but when you come to the realization that every roll and every time you tap you learned something, you can appreciate having bigger and stronger training partners (more technical, flexible and faster partners too).
Love the talks Chewy! Reading Jiu-Jitsu University right now and using it definitely limits your excuses when you have a resources with a bunch of solutions, along with having good teammates to train with.
Well said - and with respect to self-defense, tell the guy who attacked you he only killed you cause he’s strong or fast or ruthless - at the end of the day, that’s who we’re faced with - we gotta deal with it - I always assumed that’s why we spar with people of all shapes and sizes and attributes.
Oss, sensei. That's what jiu-jitsu is all about: no excuses, always do your best, and so, if your best is the guard, play your guard, if it is your pass, just pass, if it is your strenght, use it well and make them feel it.
I had a recent experience rolling with a 250lb white belt (I'm 265lb white belt) who was trying his hardest to smash me in side control and mount. He pushed me to the point of near panic but I was able to tough it out and eventually sweep him. After the roll, he was totally gassed and said "Man, I cant believe you survived all that". I pointed at the 2 400lb guys (one white belt, the other blue) and said "They are my usual training partners. He said "Ohh....." Training with people of all kinds of attributes teaches you all kinds of things
Think of it like attributes in a video game. Sure, strength is great. But what about speed? Endurance? Technique? Creativity? Toughness? Flexibility? Explosiveness? Reaction time? And how do we weigh them against each other? How do we quantify them and then decide what level of imbalance makes it unfair? We can't and we shouldn't. That's why the "Absolutes" class exists. And all of those "attributes" can be worked on. Somebody stronger than you? Go lift the damn weights. Reacts faster than you? Go do the damn drills. Better technique than you? Put in the time. Get to class. There's tons of ways to have an advantage. Figure out where yours may be and develop your bjj game to make the most of it. I'm a big, strong dude but I've rolled with out of shape, weak dudes that were tougher than woodpecker lips and gave me a hard time as a result. Bolt on some creativity and you've got someone that will hang in there and exploit the smallest opening. I've never understood guys that use the "you're stronger" as an excuse. If you believe that, why are you even doing jiu jitsu? Shouldn't you be eating and lifting if you truly believe big and strong beats all? Words and actions aren't aligning there. Point is, don't expect strong guys to get weaker or stop being out there. No amount of work you put in will drag them down. But there's a lot of work you can do to elevate yourself.
Another awesome video Chewy! Great points made all around. Why should physically dominant practitioners be chastised for the strength which many times they worked hard to specifically attain. I can’t wait to get one of your black gis I ordered (side note).
I've got this comment one hundred times and I have been practicing BJJ for 5 classes kkk Like you said, I consider a compliment The last 3 classes I've bee dialing down my strength in order to force myself to use more technique then brute force But against heavy/skilled opponent, I have no choice, because I don't have enough techniques yet, or the feeling that is required to save the strength and breath I rolled with a 56y woman, of course I wouldn't use my entire strength on her, But she is a 3rd degree blue belt, so I needed to be extremely careful to not get submitted on the first 10 seconds kkk It was an amazing experience And man, that woman was strong, Jesus Christ! But I'm evolving! Looking forward to became better
The interesting thing about jiu jitsu is that many people discredit performances and techniques that were helped by physical attributes like strength and flexibility. For example, in kickboxing, nobody discredits headkicks, they just accept that you need to stretch a lot to get flexible enough to be able to perform them, but in bjj techniques which require flexibility are often frowned upon because everyone cannot perform them without working on their flexibility. Same thing with the strength thing you highlighted on this video.
Impulsive it's even funnier because judo and jiu jitsu have been promoted and founded on the idea that a weaker person can defeat a stronger person, and so it's funny when a strong person beats someone that that person goes 'well they're just strong' rather than 'well my technique's not good enough, i need to make it better' Judo's a lot more forgiving because it was founded on the principle of physical education as well as moral and technical training. Kano-sensei said 'if a man has 10 strength, and i have 7 strength and i break his balance such that his strength is reduced to 3 i can defeat him using less than half of my strength' but this also implies that if you have 2 strength then you cannot win even if you use it all, and he encouraged his students to become fitter and stronger. Hence why great judoka like Kimura, Yamashita, Saigo, Saito and Yoshida had such intense workouts. They were monstrously strong, but because of that (especially when they fought jiu jitsuka like when kimurs fought helio) people just go 'oh well he's big and he just used strength to throw them around' when in actuality they used pin point precise technique few posses. One doesn't simply lose only 4 matches (or none in Yamashita's case) just by being strong. Being strong is considered a crime in jiu jitsu in some places. I take it as a challenge. I'm 17 and in judo i often fight adults, and i usually lose, and those adults are both strong and extremely skilled, but occassionally i don't lose, or i don't lose quickly, or i make progress before i lose, and kne day i'll start winning, then winning consistantly. And it's great because in competition, when i have to face someone at my grade, weight and age i fight them as though they're twice my age, thrice my grade and 1.5 times my weight, so i do well. Beating big people requires skill, if you test your skills against the best they become sharp. I pulled off a combination of a hip bump into a scissor sweep on a 110kg black belt judoka in newaza, and it wasn't because i usually spar with people my size and strength, it was because i accepted all challenges. I actually take it worse, and feel worse losing to a black belt than losing to someone a lower grade than me, because you don't move forwards by saying 'well he's just older, bigge, stronger and higher grade' you win by saying 'weight shouldn't matter if i'm technical enough unless i'm just weak, age is just a number, and if he's a black belt then i should be twice the black belt' and you stsrt working to to do that. Strength is a technique too. You don't want to be a martial artist who's barely in shape. You want to be a martial artist who has 100 strength but only ever needs to use 5
Lol I use to get this heaps, also "You'll struggle to pull that off on someone your size". Haven't heard it again since I won a couple comps against people my size.
strength is so important in bjj. be glad you’re strong. it’s a compliment. it’s not a backhanded way of saying you have bad technique and if that’s what’s being hinted at it’s likely a joke. or at least you should take it that way.
Tbh, I have commented on people's strength in the past, but I always meant it as a compliment. I tend not to do it anymore though just because I know some people view it as just making excuses for losing, which imo is stupid, because being a tank shouldn't be something that people should be ashamed of. Everybody doing bjj should be aiming to be strong.
Hands down best bjj channel on TH-cam! But answer me this bro? Has Bjj lost its way as a self defence martial art the way helio meant it to be? Or just become a sport? Would be an interesting subject for a future vid? Will be watching coach? 👊👊
I’m a new 2 month old white belt, 5’7 and 68kg. Every class I’m both the smallest and least experienced, so I don’t have a choice BUT to roll with big dudes and I love that shit. It forces me to use the other skills I have like focusing on technique, leverage and timing. I hold my own a lot of the time, I honestly prefer rolling with bigger dudes.
I. Get. This. All. The. Time. Yes I'm strong. You're fast.... I'm going to hold you still. The game is to make your opponent play at your pace. Apply pressure and trick into submission or maintain control for points.
Hey chewy, I'm a white belt and I was trying out spider guard to get a feel for it. I was being careful, not kicking anyone in the face and trying to find entries into things. Anyway my coach comes down onto the mat because one of the people wanted to sit out. I get him in spider guard and he has a quick look around, picks me up and slams me to break out of it. It was legit that it worked and I wasn't expecting nor prepared for it. It wasn't an exceptionally hard slam but I've been slammed a few times in the past week some harder than others. I'm trying not to take this personally, my coach could just really hate dealing with spider guard because noone in the school does it but with doing heel hooks and ashigarami later on the coach who is normally pretty chilled wrenched a heel hook real quick and pretty hard. My knee is sore, it didn't pop but it felt close. I have borderline personality disorder and training jiu jitsu helps me stay out of and not go looking for trouble but I don't know if I'm being crazy in this situation, I want to keep training Jiu Jitsu but I am considering leaving this school but am not comfortable talking to my coach about this and don't want to be considered a 'creonte'.
I’m usually surprised when people say I’m “so strong” in rolls because I’m not the biggest, strongest dude in my gym and try not to use too much strength. It’s meant as a complement when we say it because it’s an added challenge to overcome and learn to combat
I'm a brazilian, probably they said Buscapé or something else, cause Brucatua don't exist. 😅 We have this costume to say that. "-you are very strong" I think is hard to admit the guy is better than you. Good speach!
I was rolling yesterday with a stronger guy... I arm bar him... definitely strength plays a role more over when trying to get an position... but after that... technique leads the way....
Noone argues with that, but it doesn't make sense to blame someone else for your own mistakes. You will not improve and face the real issue(your bjj game) by blaming others and being a whiny pussy.
Love the channel and respect your content. As for this video, not playing the blame game is fine, but as a white belt, I just had a black belt stronger and easily 50 lb heavier than me (I’m 180) stack me hard to get out of a triangle attempt (no crossed legs). So hard my knee bashed my face and my left shoulder has been jacked for three days. Yes, I blame him. I’m a fucking white belt. I wasn’t spazzing or going hard because I want to train a long time and avoid injury. I also understand the principle of escalation, so I avoid using brute force against someone whose technique is far superior, because if they add strength to the technique, I know I’m done. I’ll fight a bit more if ther s an opening, sure. I want to train smart, so “pushing myself no matter what every time” isn’t a viable option. Now I have to sit out on rolls because I don’t want to make my shoulder worse. I’m only afraid of an injury that takes me out of the game, not worried about the sensation of being squashed or smashed, not worried about being uncomfortable. Rolling with a black belt is supposed to be safer because they have control. He failed to exercise it and now I’m paying. If he was a white or blue I wouldn’t feel the same way.
as a relatively strong and flexible guy (mainly in the legs) I've been blamed for both, honestly. Like I don't need to shrimp as much to get my legs in, that's how my legs work. Physicality is a big part of the game and what works for me works for me, period. However, I admit it allows me to get away with sloppy technique sometimes.
I have this problem too especially because I’m a younger girl at 120lbs and at 5’3” and I have a pretty good amount of strength (I like to think) and my training partners are like “you only beat me because your bigger/stronger then me” and the people who say that are usually the higher belts😂
It's a mixed bag I remind my lower belt teammates big boy strength is good but get technical as you grow don't count on it I'm 30+ lighter. I prefer the bigger guys makes me work my cardio
I'm only a 140lb female white belt and get told I'm strong quite a lot, but I only recently realised that it's a veiled way of telling me my technique sucks, hahaha. Ignorance is bliss. :)
I get the strenght blame from bigger people with higher belts. I'm 17 and a blue belt, I can beat all the purple belts in my gym, even if they have a weight advantage on me, but I admit I can only do it with top control and top submissions. People never wanna admit that i'm better, they always tell me "you're strong, you're explosive, you're young and fast". Never have I heard "your technique is good," "you have a good anaconda choke" or something. There is ALWAYS an excuse for why I beat someone.
I’m one of the youngest in my BJJ gym and I challenge one of the guy in my class week in week out and he is 6ft 2 and at least 135kg. I challenge him because against him I don’t need to use strength it’s all about technique and gives me a chance to adapt whereas he has the choice of strength or technique.
I started jujutsu 8 mounth ago. 250 pound fat old man (43). Nobody complaind over my weight. I was totally desteoyed. Since then I worked my ass off doing rolling, running, weightlifting etc. Now I am 210 pounds, and they have started complaining. I am to strong etc. But, as you say, I should take it as a complimant. I guess it's not so fun, geting beaten by an old whitebelt... :)
There's a guy at my gym that's a white belt and is literally stronger than anyone I've ever rolled with in my life. He's tall but doesn't look particularly strong. His base, his grip, and ability to hold people at bay, however, are ridiculous. I'm usually exhausted after rolling with him. If we get done rolling and I tell him that he's strong, I think it's going to depend on my tone of voice. If I say it condescendingly, I could see how it might insult him. There's a way to say it in a more complementary way. I often tell him that if he takes advantage of his attributes he can go far in jiu-jitsu if he sticks with it.
I spent my whole life doing intense technical training Ispent my whole life doing intense technical training and 300 push ups a day, 300 uchikomi and 3 hours of sparring every day, but when i win people just say it's only because i win (coughKimuracough)
Chew maybe you should think about going on Joe rogans podcast, due to your knowledge of BJJ and fitness on a whole I think it would be a great podcast. Just an idea bro keep up the good videos 👍
I see a lot of people scared or worried about rolling with better people. I’m so thankful wrestling taught me that the sooner you get your ass kicked, the sooner you learn
I am brand new to Jiu jitsu and I am in love with it and I love my gym and the people I have met and have rolled with, but as a high school girl I shy away from the rolling after fundamentals and will watch instead. My instructors tell me that it’s perfectly fine to just observe and obviously avoid white belts that could injure me accidentally. I want to roll because I feel like I am missing out on practicing what I have learned in action but there isn’t anyone I feel safe rolling with. And I know there are women I could roll with on other class days, but I feel like I do not have enough basic knowledge to come to other classes besides the fundamental classes. What should I do?
Maia Glover I recommend rolling with purple and above at least they have sound games and at least where I've trained always will let you advance your game. I make it a point to roll with my coach and professor if I get the chance to work my game. Hope it helps and keep rolling.
I fully use my strength & size to my advantage. I've only been doing BJJ for 6 months now. So I'm still a bit of a newbie. In just 6 months time I heard this a lot already. I just tell them I'm still new. You should smash the hell out of me. That's on them not you. They need to learn to be able to spar all body types. Just like I'm trying to get better getting the fast skinny guys. And not just resorting to brute Force.
I was wondering your thoughts on the best way for police officers to train bjj? I've been doing martial arts my whole life but just in the past 6 months been focusing on pure bjj along with the others.
Come on bro stop telling me not to blame people for all my problems, now because of you I'm thinking about myself, i can't believe you've done this Jkjk
This is a weird subject, I have told people they are strong after rolling but never meant it negatively. I am right in the middle at 185lbs so people are bigger and smaller than I am. And even some smaller guys feel strong.
Ive only done no gi for 4 years , so im not ranked but ive had numerous higher level guys tell me I should be a blue belt at this point.The reason I say this , because there's this blue belt who I admittely outweigh but he is a lot faster and more agile than me -we pretty much never tap each other but he always says after we roll 'man you're strong' .Its frustrated because I feel he only says it because he can't tap me and it does get frustrated to hear it every time we roll, because it will be wrong for me to comment on his speed and agility and how easy it is for him to invert Anyway, I am probably thinking about it too much lol, just wanted to rant
Also, if you really think a big person is wrecking all the newer belts just because of strength, ignore it. Don't insult them. Use that anger to get better at your technique. If someone doesn't want to adapt and continue to insist on forcing their way through bad positions, they will most likely not bet there for long. If they're still there after a year, they're probably not JUST strong lol.
As a 123 lbs guy, everyone is stronger than me. The best way to overcome this is to find more leverage and to upgrade your technique at a high efficiency. Ex: presure pass is less effective if you're extra small, but speed pass is better. We have to blame our lack of technique, because technique is just strength used in an efficient manner. If your opponent uses only strength and not much technique and you cannot do anything, it means your technique is not on point yet.
Especially in the beginning, strong people will beat you, because neither of you have skill and they have strength... they're going to win. However, once you start figuring out how to survive against that person, sweep that person, and maybe even start dominating them, you'll look at an opponent your size and laugh because you're going to be able to relax. Strong people make you better. Who cares if you lose? Even if they're the same skill level, you gotta roll with them differently, learn new skills and not the same skills they will use. They will most likely be really good in top positions, but that gives you the chance to dig deep into sweeps and off balancing from every bottom position, and when you're on top, you can work on transitioning smoothly from different top positions when they move the earth under you. If someone is much stronger than you (think 13 year old vs average adult), you might NEVER beat them if you're the same skill level, but that's extreme. At the very least, use big people to get better, and keep things simple. Fundamentals will save you, because fundamentals were designed for smaller people to use against bigger people. A lot of new-age BJJ is fancy but doesn't follow first principles.
So does that mean I'm making excuses when I don't wanna continually roll with 250 pounds guys that just barrel over me then stack me while crushing my knees for 5 minutes. I put up with it for a while but when that was the only go to it didn't seem too smart for longevity purposes?? Still on the fence about it. I wanna learn but my older knees and over zealous white belts don't seem to mesh well.
Kaustubha Das I’m like 143 and rarely roll with people near my size If your a lot better then these guys technically you shouldn’t have a problem when a guys bigger and better and is destroying you ask to go lighter
@@kinggeo3165 yeah I'm still pretty terrible at bjj as a whole so I give it the old college try but I haven't quite gotten the hang of that yet. They cut up the classes with all the blues and up with the coaches and then us noobs are left to fend for ourselves so I don't know how much chance I got to go lighter. Thanks though dude.
If you're new to bjj and the guys you're going up against are new at bjj, then no, in my opinion that's not making excuses. That's them not having the experience to know how to use their bodies correctly and how to protect their partner, and you not having the experience to know how to protect yourself from folks like that. That said, in a self defense situation, what you're experiencing with those guys has the potential to be true to life: somebody using their size to overcome you. Keep working, keep getting better until it takes more than that to overcome you. Focus on developing the attributes you might have over them: speed? endurance? technique? flexibility? creativity? As you and those guys progress from being white belts they'll realize that using their size to smash doesn't serve them well and isn't how they actually get better. And you'll learn how to deal with those types. Hang in there.
Not at all! I'm not saying you can't look out for your body! You're heavier training partners should be a bit more conscious of themselves too though. What I'm saying is that if someone beats you, they beat you. Accept it and move on.
But the truth is that I -- as a white belt nearing blue -- could consistently tap-out a female blackbelt world champion. I know this is true because I went to a seminar run by such a blackbelt and my coach was worried about me rolling with her because he thought I wouldn't conform to the BJJ etiquette by letting her beat me, so he rolled with her instead. He told me afterwards that he (a brown belt) could have tapped her anytime he wanted, but decided that that would be rude. Now, I am going to assume that I as a white belt am far less skilled in Jiu-Jitsu than the multiple blackbelt world champion Claudia Doval, and that the only reason I could beat her is because I weigh 200lbs and am physically stronger. I think that is a pretty fair assumption on my part, and if that's true it's also reasonable for me to assume that the guy in my class who weighs 30lbs more than me and who taps me out 2 or 3 times every 5 minutes, is able to do that, in part, because he is bigger and stronger than I am.
Is someone say you ONLY beat me because you’re strong, just let them know that all they have to do is hit the gym and train harder. It’s not your fault that they should have tried harder when they were doing strength and conditioning.
Never trained in bjj, so my question is should I go to a school that teaches nothing but bjj or should I go to one that does a mixture of bjj and judo?
Are people really triggered? I’ve complimented people on their strength before. How do we know the guy with the question isn’t just a showboating pos? I know for sure I don’t take it as an insult when white belts compliment me. I know I’m technically more sound and probably stronger too. Why should i feel insulted? Unless they straight up tell me “ your technique was shit it was only brute force “ never seen anyone blame muscles in a negative way. Peace out bjj bros! And don’t give up on the rubber guard just because Gracie’s got their panties up in a bunch
I learned it a bit different. “ take offense “. If someone gives you “offensive “ you have to take it for it to bother you. Perhaps someone is trying to mentally push you negatively and uses “ offensive words “. You actually have to take it for it to bother you. My advice? Don’t give offense and don’t take it. Not to be construed with constructive criticism. I’m just speaking on someone trying to get you off of your productive mind set.
I just started BJJ. I am the only female in my class. My instructor keeps telling the guys to go easy on me because I am a chick and it angers me so much. How do I stop this. I feel if I was in any real street situation it would be with a guy and I don't want to be treated as weaker.
I agree speed it up a bit. They'll have no choice but to see you as equal. My wife rolls with the other guys at my gym and I often wondered if they take it easy on her. Until a white belt asked me how to defend a move and I asked him who was giving him problems. It was my wife that choked him several times. Proud moment for me.
@@Chewjitsu I'm a slow inflexible not strong guy who had built a grip of death and learned to utilize posting on opponents who are heavier and stronger to slow them for my own game. Technique at the end of the day will still be the catalyst for success I agree
The funny thing is that jiu jitsu's always been advertised as 'look at my brutha royce beating a guy twice his size' but then someone who can do five more pushups than you can is just a brute and a gorilla and doesn't deserve to win, and you don't need to do anything to defeat that
Size and strength matter and that is why there are weight classes in competition. Sorry Chewy but I don't believe in explaining something that one has no experience with and you are a big strong guy yourself trying to explain to smaller guys that it doesn't matter.
man i hate big guys who also can keep up with me in speed like what the hell you are biger stronger and as fast or even faster than me man get tha bs out of here. this was wat i was thinking about 2 yeast ago now i know if you choke someone they will go down no mather how big they are maybe i cant armbar them but fuck me if let them get out of any choke exept for triangle doode straight stood up when i was hanging on him thats some creppy shit tell you that and i am 180 ish pounds
If someone is strong you better roll with them, not complain about it. That's a luxury to have a stronger person to help you get better 🤔
True.
yeah... opportunity...
Exactly..
Its a fact
brucutu is a great complement in brasil jj. it means you have a strong mental game and a lot of brute force. it doesn't carry any negative meaning, and is usually adressed to the guy who "wins" the roll/fight without too much "yaddaa yadda", just goes straight to the point, not fooling around. your videos on adjustments are great! greetings from Cascavel, Brasil!
Thanks for the input brother!
I always take it as a compliment. In the world of powerlifting I'm a weakling, so it's nice be told I'm strong when rolling. Unfortunately most guys don't realize I'm going like 60% to preserve my 45 seconds of wind.
I used to be "strong". I could only squat 350 max (for me that's what the average person ought do around, if you do
450+, you are strong), then I broke my back. Now nobody tells me I'm strong lol, I have "chicken legs" now. I guess I really was strong.
But there is a difference between being "strong" and being "big".
Smile and say, "Thank you".
That's perfect. It short circuits their expectations.
Politeness is the weapon of powerful people.
People get too caught up in the sport aspect of it. They forget the whole point is for the smaller guy to be able to fight the bigger guy with no time limit and be comfortable. I’m 6”1 and started BJJ at 16 and a half stone and I’m now 14 stone and I still get the comments.
On the other hand there’s one guy in our class who is like 5”5 and 60kg and he is absolutely nails, I can crush him for a bit but he gets the better of me every time and there’s nothing I can do about it. To me he’s the most efficient exponent of BJJ and the best example in the club because he never complains and if he can do it with no excuses then no one should have any excuses.
he is probably a blue belt, right? As a white belt I can say, at least for the first three months, that is a really frustrating thing when a big guy goes full force on you
Mário Filho I think you misunderstood. I’M the big guy but I’m saying the smallest guy in my club eventually taps me after I’ve crushed him for ages and he never complains, but everyone heavier than him complains. I’m saying he’s the best example of how BJJ should be.
I see. I thought you were submitting him! thanks!
MorganMoogle well there’s also the big guy with the bad attitude of “you’d be dead if you did this to me in a real fight”
Well yeah but you have 104 pounds on me. And I would not let you get me to this point in a real fight.
I just hate that attitude of being better
Stonger guys will push your technique. We have a firefighter that just started and he is damn strong, but I get him on technique. We have a kid who is flexible, really flexible, I can't pull off a sunk in Americana on him so I have to go for chokes or wrist locks. You have to use your strengths and try and work around theirs.
Americana is a shitty sub anyway. Kimura is much better. If you're doing an Americana you have to go to craddle lr crucifix that should help
@@hassanbenhammou2156 I like the Americana because I can sometimes sneak an arm in under the head for a choke. I have only been doing BJJ for 2 months but love it.
Damn man you are so wise. I love listening to your opinions on stuff. I was happy to hear you are a reader of Jordan Peterson. Love your videos. much love brother
Thank you so much for the response Chewy! I been too busy getting offended by it instead of taking it as a compliment. I work hard to stay fit working full time, marriage, two kids, bills, and bjj. So I will smile and thank people for complimenting me even if they are using it as an excuse! #VivaElChewy!
Appreciate you brother!
Asked a big blue belt guy today how to break your opponents grips to finish the armbar
He just looked at me real strange and was like "what do you mean? you just pull the arm".
MUST BE NICE
Thanks Chewie! While it can be frustrating going against a stronger opponent, it presents the opportunity to work on defense, survival, feeling for your partners imbalance and sometimes just to learn humility.
Nobody likes to lose, but when you come to the realization that every roll and every time you tap you learned something, you can appreciate having bigger and stronger training partners (more technical, flexible and faster partners too).
Yes thank you. I love hearing “oh you’re so strong” like ok, get strong too if you got a problem with it lol
Love the talks Chewy! Reading Jiu-Jitsu University right now and using it definitely limits your excuses when you have a resources with a bunch of solutions, along with having good teammates to train with.
Well said - and with respect to self-defense, tell the guy who attacked you he only killed you cause he’s strong or fast or ruthless - at the end of the day, that’s who we’re faced with - we gotta deal with it - I always assumed that’s why we spar with people of all shapes and sizes and attributes.
Not gonna lie, a lot of your vids give a lot of insight and advice applicable to many aspects to ones life. Keep up the good work.
Excellent perspective as always Chewy ! OSS !
Oss, sensei. That's what jiu-jitsu is all about: no excuses, always do your best, and so, if your best is the guard, play your guard, if it is your pass, just pass, if it is your strenght, use it well and make them feel it.
I had a recent experience rolling with a 250lb white belt (I'm 265lb white belt) who was trying his hardest to smash me in side control and mount. He pushed me to the point of near panic but I was able to tough it out and eventually sweep him. After the roll, he was totally gassed and said "Man, I cant believe you survived all that". I pointed at the 2 400lb guys (one white belt, the other blue) and said "They are my usual training partners. He said "Ohh....."
Training with people of all kinds of attributes teaches you all kinds of things
Think of it like attributes in a video game. Sure, strength is great. But what about speed? Endurance? Technique? Creativity? Toughness? Flexibility? Explosiveness? Reaction time? And how do we weigh them against each other? How do we quantify them and then decide what level of imbalance makes it unfair?
We can't and we shouldn't. That's why the "Absolutes" class exists.
And all of those "attributes" can be worked on. Somebody stronger than you? Go lift the damn weights. Reacts faster than you? Go do the damn drills. Better technique than you? Put in the time. Get to class.
There's tons of ways to have an advantage. Figure out where yours may be and develop your bjj game to make the most of it.
I'm a big, strong dude but I've rolled with out of shape, weak dudes that were tougher than woodpecker lips and gave me a hard time as a result. Bolt on some creativity and you've got someone that will hang in there and exploit the smallest opening.
I've never understood guys that use the "you're stronger" as an excuse. If you believe that, why are you even doing jiu jitsu? Shouldn't you be eating and lifting if you truly believe big and strong beats all? Words and actions aren't aligning there.
Point is, don't expect strong guys to get weaker or stop being out there. No amount of work you put in will drag them down. But there's a lot of work you can do to elevate yourself.
Your videos helped me get back to the gym after 3 years, thanks Chewy!
Excellent! Glad you're back!
Relson Gracie hepresent xD
I can't imagine looking at a bjj black belt and saying "you're just strong".
Another awesome video Chewy! Great points made all around. Why should physically dominant practitioners be chastised for the strength which many times they worked hard to specifically attain. I can’t wait to get one of your black gis I ordered (side note).
I've got this comment one hundred times and I have been practicing BJJ for 5 classes kkk
Like you said, I consider a compliment
The last 3 classes I've bee dialing down my strength in order to force myself to use more technique then brute force
But against heavy/skilled opponent, I have no choice, because I don't have enough techniques yet, or the feeling that is required to save the strength and breath
I rolled with a 56y woman, of course I wouldn't use my entire strength on her, But she is a 3rd degree blue belt, so I needed to be extremely careful to not get submitted on the first 10 seconds kkk
It was an amazing experience
And man, that woman was strong, Jesus Christ!
But I'm evolving!
Looking forward to became better
No way, I have been watching your videos for a while and I train with Igor. Funny story and small world haha
I get that comment A LOT! I am only 185-190lbs. I even get it from guys that are bigger and stronger than me.
I just take it as a compliment.
The interesting thing about jiu jitsu is that many people discredit performances and techniques that were helped by physical attributes like strength and flexibility. For example, in kickboxing, nobody discredits headkicks, they just accept that you need to stretch a lot to get flexible enough to be able to perform them, but in bjj techniques which require flexibility are often frowned upon because everyone cannot perform them without working on their flexibility. Same thing with the strength thing you highlighted on this video.
Impulsive it's even funnier because judo and jiu jitsu have been promoted and founded on the idea that a weaker person can defeat a stronger person, and so it's funny when a strong person beats someone that that person goes 'well they're just strong' rather than 'well my technique's not good enough, i need to make it better'
Judo's a lot more forgiving because it was founded on the principle of physical education as well as moral and technical training. Kano-sensei said 'if a man has 10 strength, and i have 7 strength and i break his balance such that his strength is reduced to 3 i can defeat him using less than half of my strength' but this also implies that if you have 2 strength then you cannot win even if you use it all, and he encouraged his students to become fitter and stronger. Hence why great judoka like Kimura, Yamashita, Saigo, Saito and Yoshida had such intense workouts. They were monstrously strong, but because of that (especially when they fought jiu jitsuka like when kimurs fought helio) people just go 'oh well he's big and he just used strength to throw them around' when in actuality they used pin point precise technique few posses. One doesn't simply lose only 4 matches (or none in Yamashita's case) just by being strong.
Being strong is considered a crime in jiu jitsu in some places. I take it as a challenge. I'm 17 and in judo i often fight adults, and i usually lose, and those adults are both strong and extremely skilled, but occassionally i don't lose, or i don't lose quickly, or i make progress before i lose, and kne day i'll start winning, then winning consistantly. And it's great because in competition, when i have to face someone at my grade, weight and age i fight them as though they're twice my age, thrice my grade and 1.5 times my weight, so i do well.
Beating big people requires skill, if you test your skills against the best they become sharp. I pulled off a combination of a hip bump into a scissor sweep on a 110kg black belt judoka in newaza, and it wasn't because i usually spar with people my size and strength, it was because i accepted all challenges. I actually take it worse, and feel worse losing to a black belt than losing to someone a lower grade than me, because you don't move forwards by saying 'well he's just older, bigge, stronger and higher grade' you win by saying 'weight shouldn't matter if i'm technical enough unless i'm just weak, age is just a number, and if he's a black belt then i should be twice the black belt' and you stsrt working to to do that.
Strength is a technique too. You don't want to be a martial artist who's barely in shape. You want to be a martial artist who has 100 strength but only ever needs to use 5
Lol I use to get this heaps, also "You'll struggle to pull that off on someone your size". Haven't heard it again since I won a couple comps against people my size.
Thanks man this was good advice, because this all I ever hear..
strength is so important in bjj. be glad you’re strong. it’s a compliment. it’s not a backhanded way of saying you have bad technique and if that’s what’s being hinted at it’s likely a joke.
or at least you should take it that way.
Tbh, I have commented on people's strength in the past, but I always meant it as a compliment. I tend not to do it anymore though just because I know some people view it as just making excuses for losing, which imo is stupid, because being a tank shouldn't be something that people should be ashamed of. Everybody doing bjj should be aiming to be strong.
Hands down best bjj channel on TH-cam! But answer me this bro? Has Bjj lost its way as a self defence martial art the way helio meant it to be? Or just become a sport? Would be an interesting subject for a future vid? Will be watching coach? 👊👊
I’m a new 2 month old white belt, 5’7 and 68kg. Every class I’m both the smallest and least experienced, so I don’t have a choice BUT to roll with big dudes and I love that shit. It forces me to use the other skills I have like focusing on technique, leverage and timing.
I hold my own a lot of the time, I honestly prefer rolling with bigger dudes.
Great video
Excellent advice
I. Get. This. All. The. Time. Yes I'm strong. You're fast.... I'm going to hold you still. The game is to make your opponent play at your pace. Apply pressure and trick into submission or maintain control for points.
Hey chewy, I'm a white belt and I was trying out spider guard to get a feel for it. I was being careful, not kicking anyone in the face and trying to find entries into things. Anyway my coach comes down onto the mat because one of the people wanted to sit out. I get him in spider guard and he has a quick look around, picks me up and slams me to break out of it. It was legit that it worked and I wasn't expecting nor prepared for it. It wasn't an exceptionally hard slam but I've been slammed a few times in the past week some harder than others. I'm trying not to take this personally, my coach could just really hate dealing with spider guard because noone in the school does it but with doing heel hooks and ashigarami later on the coach who is normally pretty chilled wrenched a heel hook real quick and pretty hard. My knee is sore, it didn't pop but it felt close. I have borderline personality disorder and training jiu jitsu helps me stay out of and not go looking for trouble but I don't know if I'm being crazy in this situation, I want to keep training Jiu Jitsu but I am considering leaving this school but am not comfortable talking to my coach about this and don't want to be considered a 'creonte'.
That was a STRONG answer, brother! 😂
Sergio Catignani thank you for the comment. The STRENGTH of your words really spoke to me.
I’m usually surprised when people say I’m “so strong” in rolls because I’m not the biggest, strongest dude in my gym and try not to use too much strength. It’s meant as a complement when we say it because it’s an added challenge to overcome and learn to combat
I'm a brazilian, probably they said Buscapé or something else, cause Brucatua don't exist. 😅 We have this costume to say that. "-you are very strong" I think is hard to admit the guy is better than you. Good speach!
I was rolling yesterday with a stronger guy... I arm bar him... definitely strength plays a role more over when trying to get an position... but after that... technique leads the way....
5:03... wow... yeah I really like that attitude, we shouldn't feel bad for being strong..
But strength is a big factor there is a reason there’s weight classes in bjj because it is a significant advantage
Noone argues with that, but it doesn't make sense to blame someone else for your own mistakes. You will not improve and face the real issue(your bjj game) by blaming others and being a whiny pussy.
Precisely, imagine if Daniel Strauss had to roll with Nino Schembri in a gi lel
Talib Ispajchanow completely agree making excuses helps nobody
@@blaneries8925 I'm glad to hear that. Have a nice day.
Love the channel and respect your content.
As for this video, not playing the blame game is fine, but as a white belt, I just had a black belt stronger and easily 50 lb heavier than me (I’m 180) stack me hard to get out of a triangle attempt (no crossed legs). So hard my knee bashed my face and my left shoulder has been jacked for three days.
Yes, I blame him. I’m a fucking white belt. I wasn’t spazzing or going hard because I want to train a long time and avoid injury. I also understand the principle of escalation, so I avoid using brute force against someone whose technique is far superior, because if they add strength to the technique, I know I’m done. I’ll fight a bit more if ther s an opening, sure.
I want to train smart, so “pushing myself no matter what every time” isn’t a viable option. Now I have to sit out on rolls because I don’t want to make my shoulder worse. I’m only afraid of an injury that takes me out of the game, not worried about the sensation of being squashed or smashed, not worried about being uncomfortable.
Rolling with a black belt is supposed to be safer because they have control. He failed to exercise it and now I’m paying. If he was a white or blue I wouldn’t feel the same way.
as a relatively strong and flexible guy (mainly in the legs) I've been blamed for both, honestly. Like I don't need to shrimp as much to get my legs in, that's how my legs work. Physicality is a big part of the game and what works for me works for me, period. However, I admit it allows me to get away with sloppy technique sometimes.
Another great post Chewy! I wanted to ask you this question for awhile. Have you used the Granby Roll in competitions?
I haven't but I know how to use it. I always fight for underhooks instead of granby rolls.
I have this issue as well. Half of my class is 250 pounds and half is 145
I have this problem too especially because I’m a younger girl at 120lbs and at 5’3” and I have a pretty good amount of strength (I like to think) and my training partners are like “you only beat me because your bigger/stronger then me” and the people who say that are usually the higher belts😂
Recently I have started to roll with blue, purple and brown belts and I see quite a dramatic change when I roll with the fellow white belts
It's a mixed bag I remind my lower belt teammates big boy strength is good but get technical as you grow don't count on it I'm 30+ lighter. I prefer the bigger guys makes me work my cardio
-You only beat me because you are stronger than me!!!
+ Yes.
I'm only a 140lb female white belt and get told I'm strong quite a lot, but I only recently realised that it's a veiled way of telling me my technique sucks, hahaha. Ignorance is bliss. :)
I get the strenght blame from bigger people with higher belts. I'm 17 and a blue belt, I can beat all the purple belts in my gym, even if they have a weight advantage on me, but I admit I can only do it with top control and top submissions. People never wanna admit that i'm better, they always tell me "you're strong, you're explosive, you're young and fast". Never have I heard "your technique is good," "you have a good anaconda choke" or something. There is ALWAYS an excuse for why I beat someone.
I’m one of the youngest in my BJJ gym and I challenge one of the guy in my class week in week out and he is 6ft 2 and at least 135kg. I challenge him because against him I don’t need to use strength it’s all about technique and gives me a chance to adapt whereas he has the choice of strength or technique.
youre writing is as messy as mine but youre a genius, awesome
My white board is my brain dump area. Haha so it's pretty rough most of the time.
Had a similar instance when I was a white belt. A blue belt said I was using too much strength and I was only going about 20%.
I started jujutsu 8 mounth ago. 250 pound fat old man (43). Nobody complaind over my weight. I was totally desteoyed. Since then I worked my ass off doing rolling, running, weightlifting etc. Now I am 210 pounds, and they have started complaining. I am to strong etc. But, as you say, I should take it as a complimant. I guess it's not so fun, geting beaten by an old whitebelt... :)
It's a martial art/sport....you should be strong
Agreed!
Great post Chew
Thanks old man strength! ;)
That’s why I do Catch Wrestling.
There's a guy at my gym that's a white belt and is literally stronger than anyone I've ever rolled with in my life. He's tall but doesn't look particularly strong. His base, his grip, and ability to hold people at bay, however, are ridiculous. I'm usually exhausted after rolling with him. If we get done rolling and I tell him that he's strong, I think it's going to depend on my tone of voice. If I say it condescendingly, I could see how it might insult him. There's a way to say it in a more complementary way. I often tell him that if he takes advantage of his attributes he can go far in jiu-jitsu if he sticks with it.
I spent my whole life doing intense technical training
Ispent my whole life doing intense technical training and 300 push ups a day, 300 uchikomi and 3 hours of sparring every day, but when i win people just say it's only because i win (coughKimuracough)
Royce didn’t say to Ken Shamrock , “you are so strong” he just choked him.
Chew maybe you should think about going on Joe rogans podcast, due to your knowledge of BJJ and fitness on a whole I think it would be a great podcast. Just an idea bro keep up the good videos 👍
Haha I'm not in charge of that decision. That's up to Joe and his crew. Not me.
I see a lot of people scared or worried about rolling with better people. I’m so thankful wrestling taught me that the sooner you get your ass kicked, the sooner you learn
For some reason, that kids handwriting on the whiteboard fits chewies personality.
I am brand new to Jiu jitsu and I am in love with it and I love my gym and the people I have met and have rolled with, but as a high school girl I shy away from the rolling after fundamentals and will watch instead. My instructors tell me that it’s perfectly fine to just observe and obviously avoid white belts that could injure me accidentally. I want to roll because I feel like I am missing out on practicing what I have learned in action but there isn’t anyone I feel safe rolling with. And I know there are women I could roll with on other class days, but I feel like I do not have enough basic knowledge to come to other classes besides the fundamental classes. What should I do?
Maia Glover I recommend rolling with purple and above at least they have sound games and at least where I've trained always will let you advance your game. I make it a point to roll with my coach and professor if I get the chance to work my game. Hope it helps and keep rolling.
I fully use my strength & size to my advantage. I've only been doing BJJ for 6 months now. So I'm still a bit of a newbie. In just 6 months time I heard this a lot already. I just tell them I'm still new. You should smash the hell out of me. That's on them not you. They need to learn to be able to spar all body types. Just like I'm trying to get better getting the fast skinny guys. And not just resorting to brute Force.
I was wondering your thoughts on the best way for police officers to train bjj? I've been doing martial arts my whole life but just in the past 6 months been focusing on pure bjj along with the others.
I think BJJ is an excellent way for police officers to train. Learning some striking could be very helpful too.
Come on bro stop telling me not to blame people for all my problems, now because of you I'm thinking about myself, i can't believe you've done this
Jkjk
This is a weird subject, I have told people they are strong after rolling but never meant it negatively. I am right in the middle at 185lbs so people are bigger and smaller than I am. And even some smaller guys feel strong.
Ive only done no gi for 4 years , so im not ranked but ive had numerous higher level guys tell me I should be a blue belt at this point.The reason I say this , because there's this blue belt who I admittely outweigh but he is a lot faster and more agile than me -we pretty much never tap each other but he always says after we roll 'man you're strong' .Its frustrated because I feel he only says it because he can't tap me and it does get frustrated to hear it every time we roll, because it will be wrong for me to comment on his speed and agility and how easy it is for him to invert Anyway, I am probably thinking about it too much lol, just wanted to rant
Also, if you really think a big person is wrecking all the newer belts just because of strength, ignore it. Don't insult them. Use that anger to get better at your technique. If someone doesn't want to adapt and continue to insist on forcing their way through bad positions, they will most likely not bet there for long. If they're still there after a year, they're probably not JUST strong lol.
As a 123 lbs guy, everyone is stronger than me. The best way to overcome this is to find more leverage and to upgrade your technique at a high efficiency. Ex: presure pass is less effective if you're extra small, but speed pass is better.
We have to blame our lack of technique, because technique is just strength used in an efficient manner. If your opponent uses only strength and not much technique and you cannot do anything, it means your technique is not on point yet.
Especially in the beginning, strong people will beat you, because neither of you have skill and they have strength... they're going to win. However, once you start figuring out how to survive against that person, sweep that person, and maybe even start dominating them, you'll look at an opponent your size and laugh because you're going to be able to relax. Strong people make you better. Who cares if you lose? Even if they're the same skill level, you gotta roll with them differently, learn new skills and not the same skills they will use. They will most likely be really good in top positions, but that gives you the chance to dig deep into sweeps and off balancing from every bottom position, and when you're on top, you can work on transitioning smoothly from different top positions when they move the earth under you. If someone is much stronger than you (think 13 year old vs average adult), you might NEVER beat them if you're the same skill level, but that's extreme. At the very least, use big people to get better, and keep things simple. Fundamentals will save you, because fundamentals were designed for smaller people to use against bigger people. A lot of new-age BJJ is fancy but doesn't follow first principles.
200% agree!!!!!
Wow. . . 200%!
So does that mean I'm making excuses when I don't wanna continually roll with 250 pounds guys that just barrel over me then stack me while crushing my knees for 5 minutes. I put up with it for a while but when that was the only go to it didn't seem too smart for longevity purposes?? Still on the fence about it. I wanna learn but my older knees and over zealous white belts don't seem to mesh well.
Kaustubha Das I’m like 143 and rarely roll with people near my size If your a lot better then these guys technically you shouldn’t have a problem when a guys bigger and better and is destroying you ask to go lighter
@@kinggeo3165 yeah I'm still pretty terrible at bjj as a whole so I give it the old college try but I haven't quite gotten the hang of that yet. They cut up the classes with all the blues and up with the coaches and then us noobs are left to fend for ourselves so I don't know how much chance I got to go lighter. Thanks though dude.
If you're new to bjj and the guys you're going up against are new at bjj, then no, in my opinion that's not making excuses. That's them not having the experience to know how to use their bodies correctly and how to protect their partner, and you not having the experience to know how to protect yourself from folks like that. That said, in a self defense situation, what you're experiencing with those guys has the potential to be true to life: somebody using their size to overcome you. Keep working, keep getting better until it takes more than that to overcome you. Focus on developing the attributes you might have over them: speed? endurance? technique? flexibility? creativity?
As you and those guys progress from being white belts they'll realize that using their size to smash doesn't serve them well and isn't how they actually get better. And you'll learn how to deal with those types. Hang in there.
Not at all! I'm not saying you can't look out for your body! You're heavier training partners should be a bit more conscious of themselves too though.
What I'm saying is that if someone beats you, they beat you. Accept it and move on.
Awesome. I'm cool with losing no problem. Being crippled is a whole other story lol. Thanks coach!
But the truth is that I -- as a white belt nearing blue -- could consistently tap-out a female blackbelt world champion. I know this is true because I went to a seminar run by such a blackbelt and my coach was worried about me rolling with her because he thought I wouldn't conform to the BJJ etiquette by letting her beat me, so he rolled with her instead. He told me afterwards that he (a brown belt) could have tapped her anytime he wanted, but decided that that would be rude. Now, I am going to assume that I as a white belt am far less skilled in Jiu-Jitsu than the multiple blackbelt world champion Claudia Doval, and that the only reason I could beat her is because I weigh 200lbs and am physically stronger. I think that is a pretty fair assumption on my part, and if that's true it's also reasonable for me to assume that the guy in my class who weighs 30lbs more than me and who taps me out 2 or 3 times every 5 minutes, is able to do that, in part, because he is bigger and stronger than I am.
I usually say, really I dont even lift weights!
Is someone say you ONLY beat me because you’re strong, just let them know that all they have to do is hit the gym and train harder. It’s not your fault that they should have tried harder when they were doing strength and conditioning.
Never trained in bjj, so my question is should I go to a school that teaches nothing but bjj or should I go to one that does a mixture of bjj and judo?
_____ _____ judo and bjj both have a lot of positives doesn’t matter as much as you might think
GEO agreed. It won’t matter which one you go to. Either way you will learn.
Are people really triggered? I’ve complimented people on their strength before. How do we know the guy with the question isn’t just a showboating pos? I know for sure I don’t take it as an insult when white belts compliment me. I know I’m technically more sound and probably stronger too. Why should i feel insulted? Unless they straight up tell me “ your technique was shit it was only brute force “ never seen anyone blame muscles in a negative way. Peace out bjj bros! And don’t give up on the rubber guard just because Gracie’s got their panties up in a bunch
I learned it a bit different. “ take offense “. If someone gives you “offensive “ you have to take it for it to bother you. Perhaps someone is trying to mentally push you negatively and uses “ offensive words “. You actually have to take it for it to bother you. My advice? Don’t give offense and don’t take it. Not to be construed with constructive criticism. I’m just speaking on someone trying to get you off of your productive mind set.
There's a judo black belt who's really good and he just plays with everyone
I tell him 'you just beat me because you're better'
Chew is da G.O.A.T!
I just started BJJ. I am the only female in my class. My instructor keeps telling the guys to go easy on me because I am a chick and it angers me so much. How do I stop this. I feel if I was in any real street situation it would be with a guy and I don't want to be treated as weaker.
bubblefishez up the tempo. They will match your intensity.
I agree speed it up a bit. They'll have no choice but to see you as equal. My wife rolls with the other guys at my gym and I often wondered if they take it easy on her. Until a white belt asked me how to defend a move and I asked him who was giving him problems. It was my wife that choked him several times. Proud moment for me.
Also, I don't hate stronger people than me. I hate people with seemingly unlimited cardio and super speed.
They need to go. XD
Who doesn’t like being strong?
Strength does play a factor though chewy.
hackedit4u heck yes it does! So does speed, flexibility, etc etc. :)
@@Chewjitsu I'm a slow inflexible not strong guy who had built a grip of death and learned to utilize posting on opponents who are heavier and stronger to slow them for my own game. Technique at the end of the day will still be the catalyst for success I agree
How did 9 people dislike this?!😂 im offended now!
I rolled this guy once, he only beat me because he’s cool AF
He says "brucutu".
The small fast guys arent made to feel bad because of their attribute so there is no reason for strong guys to feel bad for theirs either.
How do you spell "bruka tua" I want to see it
mpforeverunlimited search up brucatu cartoon
it's spelled "brucutú"
The funny thing is that jiu jitsu's always been advertised as 'look at my brutha royce beating a guy twice his size' but then someone who can do five more pushups than you can is just a brute and a gorilla and doesn't deserve to win, and you don't need to do anything to defeat that
Size and strength matter and that is why there are weight classes in competition. Sorry Chewy but I don't believe in explaining something that one has no experience with and you are a big strong guy yourself trying to explain to smaller guys that it doesn't matter.
I wish someone told me im strong hahahahahah. I'm a whack blue Belt
👏🖒👍
man i hate big guys who also can keep up with me in speed like what the hell you are biger stronger and as fast or even faster than me man get tha bs out of here. this was wat i was thinking about 2 yeast ago now i know if you choke someone they will go down no mather how big they are maybe i cant armbar them but fuck me if let them get out of any choke exept for triangle doode straight stood up when i was hanging on him thats some creppy shit tell you that and i am 180 ish pounds
If you're strong, don't worry about what people say, because they're weaker than you and at the end of the day, that's good hahahaha.
Tell them go pickup some weights.
I would say the exception is white belts who don't know their own strength. They can easily hurt other people.
Get stronger, faster, more technical. Lol
