    It takes a really good coach to recognize that you should train somewhere else in order to realize your potential. It was always a bittersweet moment telling kids I coached that I had taught them everything I could teach them and they would have to learn the rest on their own or with someone else.

      The fact that you didn't stunt their progress and didn't hold them back and knew to let them go and continue their journey to be better truly shows what an absolutely outstanding coach and person you are. Doing the right thing by your students should be number one and you've clearly put their needs before your wants and that's character. Legend.

    Growing up I was bullied since middle school. And I was a shy kid who wanted to stay alone instead of making friends. Doing wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu has made me grow out of my pent-up emotions. I started realizing that my body could do things I never thought it could. I went into Jiu-Jitsu with a humble mind and never let my ego get in the way.

      I’m starting JJ on 3/23 with my two sons with a group of other fathers/sons. My childhood I was bullied as well. Never gotten in a fight. Struggled with confidence issues a good chunk of my life. Doing this to build my relationships with my sons and to invest in them and myself…to build confidence and discipline. A bit nervous going into this especially at almost 48.

    The fact that everyone were so respectful in the gym and yet could literally snap all my limbs is what makes me nervous at first. Its a really humbling experience.

    Injuries is what's keeping me from starting really. I see/hear stories from people how they started, first few months in, they're rolling with a higher ranked belt, get put in a hold and their arm snaps. Or suffering serious ligament damage etc. I understand getting roughed up, sore, bruised, but how likely is a serious injury like broken bones to happen on any given training session?

    • @sarahseif1788
      @sarahseif1788 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Rolling with higher belts is actually a lot safer than rolling with white belts or beginners. They move with control and precision and they protect you from injuring yourself. At least this was my experience. Most of my injuries are from beginners. Injuries are a part of the gig unfortunately. It is definitely a risk but there are a lot of ways to prevent injuries or at least lessen their severity by keeping a good foundation of strong muscles, tendons and ligaments and improving your mobility.

Also one thing I could say is I listened to your podcast you did with Rogen and carrying a firearm is kind of the same mentality with BJJ or martial arts, you know you could most likely destroy someone with your hands but you refrain from doing so on a daily basis. So please get a firearm and train. I would be pleased to show you how to shoot a pistol if you like. I have a private range we can use. I have taught others how to shoot over the years also. I think someone with your intelligence could be a good representative of the firearm community. Love going out to you.

      a couple options. 1 is maybe try a different gym. sometimes gyms just have a real "bro" attitude. find a gym with quality people, that have nothing to prove. another is just general anxiety management. try breathing exercises in the parking lot. breath heavy through your nose and get alittle meditation before class. another thing, is no one cares what you look like, how you talk, how good/bad you are. they are all there to get better and make others better. no one is paying attention to you in that way. I go through the same thing man you're not alone. but as you train you'll get better physically and mentally. go back man, it will help your mental health in unbelievable ways.

      @tbagman99 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’m guessing your neck injury has to do with your vertebrae, in which case I could imagine doing bjj would be quite dangerous. However I think if you could definitely still practice it with some Physical therapy work too. I have a sacralized spine, two herniated discs, and still experience sciatica from time to time but there are certain exercises and measures I have taken that allow me to do bjj as well as wrestle. If wouldn’t say bjj would pose too much of a risk to your knees if it’s a joint issue because there’s minimal impact, and if someone attempts a leg lock or knee bar you can always preemptively tap. And I think most gyms follow the unsaid rule that is you don’t try to hurt or put someone in a position that causes too much pain, usually people tap as soon as they have the lock or hold tight enough to the point where you can’t escape without struggle.

    Question: is it feasible for a 53 year old man in fairly good shape to start doing BJJ or is likely the joints will take too much of a pounding?

      Look up Jon danahers podcast.
      He teaches to learn pin escapes and guard retention first. (has instructionals)
      Then will look at half guard then all the others.
      Then submissions from the bottom.
      Then focus on main submissions such as back attack, kimura, arm bar, triangle etc

Now this fuckers from northern Va?? That’s my stomping grounds babyyy!!! The universe is crazy. Turkmenistan + VA + Dubai metro + Jonny Bones = next world champ. 😂
