Great ep gentlemen. My gym is almost exclusively heavyweights and I'm a light featherweight. It was five months before my Professor knew my name. He shows me various now that work for smaller people, but man was it rough trying a flower sweep on someone 100 lbs heavier than me. Now it's all triangles, cross collars, and reverse kesa gatame. Cheers from USA!
Its dofficult for schools to create curriculum that caters to everyones neefs. What if the techniques being taught doesnt fit in with the game you are trying to build? What advice can you give?
After a string of injuries resulting from oppressive atmosphere that pushed me to train too hard and not recover enough, i decided to stop bjj alltogether. Right now recovering from surgery and with time off the mats i feel like there is no point of returning. I finally feel pain free and i don't have guilt for not pleasing my coach and team. I guess bjj wasn't for me after all. Love your podcast!
@@JakeNukem3D i actually run the foundational class in my gym and i dont do any free sparring for this reason. Sorry to hear that and i hope you give it a try in the future some people do actually care about others
I know you said you have no interest but I’m a white belt at my new MMA gym. Started at a BJJ only gym and it wasn’t bad just not for me. I love my gym now. If you ever want to try it again just find the right gym it is honestly really fun and welcoming with the right gym
@@TYLERSCHRIMSHER yeah i even got my blue belts, but like i said, i just started to resent the whole goddamn sport now. Might take a long time to find my interest in it again. Fucking hate the feeling when i think back all the hard work i put in even tho it kept breaking my body, and all i got in response was "you should do more". So fuck bjj all together for now... Glad you are enjoying it.
Wrestiling here in my small school in michagan USA we called the bull dog when you grab under there chin with one hand simeler to how you would grab for a gulitine but your other arm you get an underhook put your arm on there back step up on your foot on the same side and bulldog them to there back
Good coaches will create drills with limitations that force you to be creative. You will have to use the narrow set of skills in the drill in new ways. People spend far too much time drilling with no physical feedback. If you are going to drill don't with at least light feedback. Do an A B C type drill. It takes so long to progress because the pedagogy is terrible. There isn't that much to basic jiujitsu. We are over complicating it.
BJJ testing doesn't feel right to me - it makes the sport seem too karate-esqe/mcdojo type. A HS wrestler would destroy most whitebelts and some blue belts, yet they would fail every test. Logically, based on their grappling experience, they can easily start at Blue (just an example). I really believe that promotions should be based on skill, potential, and knowledge. A 50 Year old who trains equal to a 20 year old (let's say 5 hours a week) should get promoted sooner because based on their age, they have reached their potential. They may have equal knowledge, but perhaps less skill. I think reaching your potential is critical, and promotions should only happen once the person has reached their highest potential based on their age and athletic ability at EACH level. The coach must observe and decide what they think the skill level, potential, and knowledge they want to see from any individual and difficult levels.
You can’t do BJJ in wrestling or Judo because BJJ only works within its rule set. No other combat sport would penalize the guy that doesn’t sit down and engage while his opponent butt scoots around like a pug with jock itch.
Eh, mid comment. judo and wrestling lack a complete ground system. Now, certain styles of judo do have a good focus on ground work (which is just gi jiu jitsu pretty much) but modern olympic style Judo entirely lacks it. Folkstyke wrestling has decent ground work but only to get to a pin. And if you wanna point out silly shit that doesn’t transfer, in wrestling and jiu jitsu positional control is required to score a take down, not so much in judo. Or how you get point for spinning a guy around in freestyle wrestling, that doesn’t exist in judo or jiu jitsu. Every grappling sport has silly rules man, just appreciate an expert in any of those 3 is a good grappler none the less. Anyways, judo and wrestling compliment jiu jitsu just not the other way around, because jiu jitsu has the least restrictive rule set with the most options for how you play the game.

Ouch quoting Malcolm Gladwell. After seeing him debate in the Munk Debates, I don’t really hold him in high regard anymore.
Guys, I know this video is not about promotion but what is your opinion on gyms where they have exams for promoting ppl.

Came here for my shoulders, stayed for bulldoggin
Calling the Berimbolo Pig Roll from now on...
"boring psychopath" hahahahaha
Most people succeed in spite of their coaches not because of them.
The last 2 videos your camera has been crazy. In and out of focus. 🙌
I mean my coach is top 20 in the world. so whatever he says, Imma do that. Idgaf.
U shouldn't though. Coaching and being an athlete is different. He could be the shittiest coach u never know
