With all due respect, aikido and karate is a “martial art” BJJ is combat sport and self defense system. Very, very different things imo

It’s good to see the old marketing tactics back in action

Keep coming to the class

Good marketing

Worthless

New day resolutions Now give me your excuse

is there a PDF available for the order of techniques from white to black or just the app?

you got your shoulders ready to war? recommend me your surgeon pls!

I teach self defense, Gi, No Gi and sports Jiu Jitsu 😎🤙🏻I agree with you 💯👍 Gracie Allegiance Honolulu we have a curriculum ‼️

I can personally attest to this having used it multiple times while doing security

We were drilling takedowns in class today and I got too close to another student and he had nose bleed really bad. I feel guilty for being responsible for this. I don't know if i want to go back 😮 i apologize and helped clean up my training partners blood. Feel so bad

I certainly wish I lived near one of your schools as I would learn from you. Are there any schools, in Calgary, that you recommend?

Basically you teach the stuff that works not just the fancy hipster stuff

Who the f get blue after one year 😂 Must be damn good

The character is Marge Simpson's ex bf Artie Ziff and he said and I quote "crawl atop of me and meet your doom." To homer...😂😂 Great stuff as usual KJJ Ryan Y. 👍🏾

I find it so sad for a martial that if you ask about belts, instructors frown on you. Sad that you cant address the belt topic, cause instructors will delay your next belt rank, wow, astoundignly sad. It throws me off guard. I have address the belt topic to my new instructor in almost a year. Sometimes its like as if the topic was like cancer.

I started bjj 1,5 months ago and I entered my first tournament. I didn’t feel the choke in the first round so I didn’t tap and I fainted😂😂

When I became a professional firefighter in Niagara Falls, NY, I also began my college career. Over The next 20 years, I earned a BS, and Masters in Education, and a Law Degree. I've been on the mat since high school (I'm 60 now). Having stumbled on this approach for the first time as it applies to BJJ, I cannot exaggerate how much I agree with this concept of learning. It works in BJJ, wrestling, golf, and in learning arithmetic. A Jiu jitsu school is essentially the equivalent of a "one room school house". Student are at different levels, have different goals and aptitudes. This emphasis of "mastery" over "advancement is the most effective for producing results.

Kosen is just a rule set not a style...its still Kodokan Judo.

Before I got my first stripe on my blue belt I thought I peaked and wouldn’t get any better. I then got my first stripe and thought “Holy smokes… I’m a legit blue belt now that I’m a stripe in”. And because I thought so little of my ability, I was happy just staying at that level. About a month later I got my second stripe and then a few months after that, my purple. I’m back at that mindset with my stripeless purple belt, feeling I’ve peaked and that this is as good as I’ll ever be. And I’m fine with that. I don’t do Jiu Jitsu to become a black belt. I do it because I love doing it. If I ever get a stripe on my purple… man alive it’ll be a good day.

Its fun

Never been a public BJJ instructor, dont plan on becoming one, we have way too many students who are trying to open up schools and teach, and refuse to roll with high level invitees for fear of looking bad, that is where we're at right now. On my part, it is an honor to teach in private when given the opportunity like for my son from his 3 yo all the way up to his 16 yo. In class, when paired with white belts, I leading them, guide them, and while rolling with them, they often tell me how precious my technical advices are. That suffice me plenty to fill me with joy.

Next time you’re here you need to visit Buffalo Trace if you’ve not!!

I’ve trained at a lot of different gyms and with a lot of different people at open mat. I think it just boils down to your gym culture. I’ve trained with plenty of “soft” people that are high ranking in “Gracie Jiu Jitsu”. I’ve trained with straight killers that train in non Gracie gyms. I myself train in a non Gracie gym as well.

I’m 5’7 but 140 😭😂

Hi Kama Jiu jitsu guy. I’ve trained in Dan Zan ru ju jitsu from 1992-1996. Then trained Gracie Jiu jitsu from 1995 - 2012. The Japanese ju jitsu does everything, practitioners of all masters of none. I took my fifteen years of karate and four years of ju jitsu and went to Ceaser’s school in pleasant hill. I got distroyed by his students and realized how much better Gracie Jiu jitsu was on the ground than traditional ju jitsu. They are both good styles and have very different approaches to fighting and self defense. It’s ju jitsu and Jiu jitsu.

Thank you for posting this video. I had this exact thing happen to me a few months ago where my rib popped and it was very painful and I had to take about a month off the matts

My instructor is younger and shorter than me. To look up to him, I must look down 😅

I have a question. I have trained in a BJJ "gym" for 5 months. I took a layover to finish college, and now I am getting back to practicing. I am a Texan white belt with wrestling experience, a broken lineage, and ring rust. Can I still turn it around and learn jiu-jitsu the way Rickson Gracie intended?

An alternative is kneeling grappling and throws, I know many make fun of the idea. But as someone with a disability it makes sense. And historical knee grappling used to be a thing.

It’s all in the Gracie curriculum, we train it here in Spain, there’s no excuse. Start every roll from standing, end of. If you don’t want to be thrown then you pull guard or learn to take the other down, it’s that simple. The Japanese Jiu Jitsu the Romanian guy is talking about sounds great in principle, but the curriculum is often far too expansive where you are training everything from weapons to throws to kicks and punches in one class, ending up very rarely being good in any of them. I’ve trained both btw.

Alot of false information in this vid. Luiz France wasn't a student of Fadda, it was the other way around. Luiz Franca was a contemporary of Carlos Gracie Sr, not Fadda. Helio (11 years younger than Carlos Sr) and Franca were contemporaries. Fadda's students didn't beat Helios students 19 to 1. It was 3 wins for team Fadda, 7 for team Helio Gracie, and 4 draws. Yes, Fadda's team was more advanced in leg locks, but that didn't change anything for Helio as he continued to dismiss leg locks. John Danaher deserves credit for the current state of leg locks in BJJ and that didn't happen until the 2000's. There is so much false information in this vid, that I had to stop watching it after a few minutes.

Gracie Jiujitsu is Jiujitsu specifically taught by the Gracie Family. They are specific for their style of Self Defense., but aside from bear hugs, shoulder grabs etc, everything else lose is the exact same. Gracie style is weak MMA style type.

Tomatoe tomato

Slams are legal if they have a submission locked in under ADCC rules

Black belt mastered the art, can effectively perform it and pass it to the others. By definition it means that this black belt person NO MATTER THE AGE OR GENDER is supposed to beat the majority of practicioners. Of course there will be occasions with competetive athletic purple belt beat black belt guys of age. But that it is not about BJJ. A young boxer will beat a retired boxer. That does not imply that the retired one LOST all of his skills. He just cannot participate in professional sport which require NOT ONLY skill.

Great video as always. As a 40 year old purple belt, while I train periodically on takedowns, it is tough to start standing up all the time. I am guilty of starting from a seated position or pulling guard. I gotta go to work the next morning, preferably without being completely sore or injured. I definitely understand the point to learning takedowns for self defense and growing in the art.

from what you describe, what's the difference between japanese & gracie jiu-jitsu?

is it okay to learn bjj, and get those takedowns and throws from either: wrestling, sambo, or judo?

Judo bro!

The best fall-break training I got was from Krav Maga and Judo.

Thanks Ryan!

baseball s..k ))

love the content

Suspeneded mats with 4" foam and people still don't want to get thrown? WTF? When I started Judo 28 years ago, we had a wooden Church floor with 1/2" chip foam covered with an old stiff canvas!

Yep

Have u ever heard of darcio lira jiujitsu says on website it’s traditional they train u everything here in Bayarea

Having used Kama Jiu Jitsu for self defense repeatedly it works very well

I think also that sometimes (and I fall into this category), people just want to be reassured that the instructor is ok with the rate at which the student is progressing. I know that my progress is slower, and will continue to be slower, than most people at my gym, and I'm ok with that, but at first I wasn't sure if my instructor was ok with that, which made me question whether I should be training. Lucky for me, it's now clear that the only thing my instructor expects is that I pay attention and train to improve.
