Good effort, the strict standards of their critique and the tight limits make this harder than it looks to those who have never tried to do it. The mount and guard tests in particular are especially tight to do well and squeeze into the 5 minutes. Congratulations!
The variations of technique are actually crucial in understanding the core nature of the technique itself. If we only learn one way, then we think the entire thing is the technique. If we learn different ways, we realize what is actually essential. For example, in the Trap and Roll, what is essential is trapping one side of their body (leg and arm), keeping them down so they can't easily base out when you roll them, and then the rolling part with both leg and arm for maximum torque. Everything else is set up.
@@OverlearnerI believe that the variations and identifying the core of techniques comes with time. As a beginner or white belt, your job is learning the technique the way it is. As you progress to the different belts you become more aware of set ups, variations, and different ways to approach a particular technique
Awesome video, thanks for uploading it! I’m on my second stripe in Combative 4 months in, I have done all the technique classes once or twice so it is really cool to see you stringing them all together for the test. 👊🏼🥋🤼
In all seriousness, I appreciate the comment a lot. I thought carefully before starting this channel and I decided that, instead of specialising in just music or languages, I would cover a range of different topics and try to draw connections between them. What repertoire are you working on at the moment?
@@Overlearner True😂 Hand/arm safety is definitely a priority for me haha. Right now I’m working on the Cm Partita and Chopin Nocturne Op. 32 No 1 & 2. I’ll be taking a look at some Takemitsu (Rain Tree Sketch) but I’m just getting things in my hands over the summer
@@piocastellano8221 nice, classic strategy....learn all the rep over the break. Love the nocturnes! And I played that Bach many years ago, brilliant piece. Takemitsu is very interesting too from the limited amount I've listened to. If you do break an arm make sure it's your right arm so you can play all the left handed rep 🤣
heeey, it's Burwood! One of the best BJJ schools in the world - not just for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, either. Robbie's black belt is recognised by Rener, Ryron, Rickson and Pedro Sauer and he routinely has world class athletes come in for seminars. It's closest you will get to the Torrance HQ outside of America.
Did you have 7 mistakes? And each mistake was minus 1 point? So your score was 93? At the end it shows 6 mistakes, but I think the list is cut off. So I’m assuming the cut off one was the Leg Hook Takedown as you didn’t lift the leg up & move it away by rotating your whole body.
@@Overlearner Yes, I’m training to be an instructor so I have to get a 95 or higher. This was really good to watch, really helped me put the test into perspective. Thanks! 🙏🏼
not the worst syllabus, would like to of seen a gilotine from guard and a sit up sweep, leg grab rollover sweep from that lat grab back take. and half guard underhook back take and half guard knee tap sweep if they wizzer. also some head arm chokes and darce from top positions, and some sprawling from standing. maybe underhook escape from side control a back escape and a few submission defenses.
Guillotine is shown from closed guard. Most of what you're suggesting aren't relevant against striking opponents or people trying to use brute strength against you - but they are taught between Combatives and Purple belt. Combatives is aimed at dealing with regular non-BJJ people who use strength and strikes.
@@tjl4688 Most of what you're suggesting aren't relevant against striking opponents or people trying to use brute strength against you ? no you are simply wrong.
The idea of Combatives is what they can realistically train a person who is normal build, 35 years old, has a normal job, family commitments, so that they will feel safe and be able to survive in a potential altercation in 2 years (which is how long most people do it). The assailant is most likely not a BJJ trained person which will be like 99.5% of them. Its not to make BJJ competitors or life long rollers.
@@Basta11 it isnt like i said spider guard to inverted honey hole leg locks or berimbolo twister entries, ive done bjj/mma for years, run my own gym and trained alot of people from mma fighters to casual bjj students, the things i offered are real simple add ons to what was presented, and fill out the syllabus abit closer to what i expected of my blue belts, everyone i trained learnt punch defense and real skills for self defense and mma, before bjj comp was considered.
@@supernalbjj I'm just reiterating what the Gracies themselves said. They obviously worked shop this with a lot of people. Many high level people have also taken a look at it. Most likely they've considered the suggestions you've made, but then for whatever reason left it out. I can see why. Some of your suggestions imply that the assailant knows some Bjj or MMA. Combatives is not for getting a Blue belt. Its simply a half way mark. Its a basic BJJ against unskilled people, not even 1 stripers. But I agree with you, its not perfect. If you disagree, you disagree with them. I have no dog in this.
Congrats my friend! Takes me back to my early days!
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor thank you. A small step on a (I hope) lifelong journey

Totally agree....along with learning techniques there should be instruction on the underlying principles (something my head coach does well)

Great job, it inspires me to give Gracie jujitsu a try
I'm glad to hear that, let me know how it goes!

As a piano major in college learning BJJ, your content is golden. Thank you!!
If you're a piano major all I can say is......tap early to armbars 🤣🤣🤣
