Great video, Professor. On the flip side, when a new person arrives or there's a visitor it's good "house etiquette" for a senior student(s) to approach and introduce themselves. Make the person feel welcome. I've always found that to be very comforting when visiting a new place. It can be daunting for the new person or even a senior belt visiting a new academy! (Been there many times lol). One example for me was that I had the black bar of my belt on the "incorrect side" which was seen as disrespectful. The senior belt very politely told me this and I was very happy to fix it! Cheers
Lol, yes still trying to learn about this filming and editing thing. Trial and error. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. I clearly lost on this one.
@@thatblackbeltguy6367 how did you actually do this? Just curious. Typically any green screen backdrop (20 bucks on Amazon) and a phone made in the last 5 years should look great.
Its funny to see the elbow dig be a "dick move". I took a BJJ class in 06 and that was the first thing I learned. He didn't call it that, but using your elbows to hit the pressure points in the thigh to open up closed guard.
Randomly came across this video and stopped and clicked because of the thumbnail. If that is who I think it is, rest in peace Prof. Syl. Not sure how you are acquainted with him but man does BJJ have a small community.
I've never understood the aversion to using elbows to escape full guard and personally do no consider it a dick move similar to face grinding or small digit manipulation. It was taught to me on several different occasions at different schools. Yes, it hurts. Most of what we do in BJJ hurts. What it doesn't do, however, is risk causing a bloody nose or broken finger like the other mentioned techniques.
Dude looks like a hologram in this video - thats a next level black belt right there.
This makes me realize how laid back and informal my gym is... interesting!

That is a very good point Jeremy!
Bro this is like 1980's green screen with a VHS filter over it. Good information, but WOW :)

@@GamingWisconsinbly on an IPhone 12 using InShot to edit. Unfortunately it looked completely different in the app than when I uploaded it.
Cool video, very informative. I also really dig the way you've edited this, honestly looks stylish ahah
Thanks for that Rob! Geez I hope I didn't break any of these rules - they are just common decency.
that santa clause joke got me
Very good advice.

Hey Andrew, Syl was my instructor, mentor and very close friend. He is truly missed.
Very good. Clip toe nails also and brush teeth.
Always ask higher belts to roll, as a white belt

Why would asking a higher belt be disrespectful? That's garbage advise.
