My first two classes. I'm currently doing 1 class a week until my muscles recover fast enough for 2 a week. This girl who does 5 classes a week absolutely kicked my ass multiple times each time I went, it's amazing tbh. The more I know about jitjuitsu and then spar I see she has this impenetrable defense during sparring I cannot even comprehend, and she is only a white belt! I must learn this stuff. She isn't even the most skilled person in the class but I get a feeling because she is a woman she goes a bit harder with men compared to some of the guys there to compensate for the strength differences between men and women. Very impressive martial art. I must learn more.
5 weeks in and I must say, I feel so much better about myself mentally and physically. I have met so many awesome people at my gym. I have been training almost every day as well and am looking forward to continue doing so for years to come! I don’t know what id be doing if i didnt begin training! I suggest to anyone who is considering beginning training to do so! Regardless of your prior skillset, everyone starts off as a white-belt!
Let us know if you go, I’m 23 and live near an MMA place £60 month unlimited training, I workout allot like callisthenics. I’d love to go I’m just to introverted to go for it.
Ryder do it bud! We are all introverts, luckily bjj doesn’t require much socializing, you don’t even have to speak the same language as the people you train with
"The better you get you can attack some conceptual things." "The person on the bottom can't fall down." Now a favorite quote of mine from Dr. Edward de Bono: "Most of the mistakes in thinking are inadequacies of perception rather than mistakes of logic." Love it, thanks guys, well done.
7 months in and I’m still getting tap out. Not gonna lie my stomach still turns ,palms sweat right before rolling always….it’s funny but I still come back for more and don’t think I will ever stop….
5 months for me and I get destroyed basically every class haha. But love it and genuinely believe it's one of the best things I've ever done in my life.
I’m a purple belt and still get subbed. If you are not losing you are not learning guys! If you are getting caught it’s because you should be trying to get better and take risks. Training is not trying to win.
Man I'm just getting started but you know when you go up against someone who knows what's up and you just know no matter what approach you take they have an answer for it and it feels like an impenetrable defense. It's intimidating, but also, I must know this.
Jocko's jiu jitsu videos are always a must click for me. I'm in my first week of jiu jitsu right now. My first class was Monday(6/15). My 5 year old niece and me.
Another awesome podcast.I will take this positive information and apply it to my workout and workday as well.Balance is very important.If I focus on what's directly in front of me and consistently give a good effort those distractions dont have any effect.If I push too hard however not only does my serenity or piece of mind go but I am leaving myself open to those distractions.A consistent good effort day in and day out is key.
I'm sure this is been said before but I think that's what jocko was talking about with the weight adjustment. It is the most important aspect of fighting which is sensitivity. When you're nervous system is so familiar with the way both well executed and poorly executed Techniques feel, your body simply does what it's supposed to do instinctively. One of the most amazing things in sports is watching a great boxer slip an untelegraphed, fast, crisp and powerful three or four punch combination and he moves the way his opponent expect him to move and his opponent thinks that he will move into one of the follow-up shots, but the defender continues to move correctly out of harm's Way. The whole combination barely misses yet misses entirely because the timing of the slips is so perfect. the defender moves at the last possible second so that the punch connects with nothing but air. It continues to happen and eventually the defender gets ahead of his opponent's timing and counters .The counters that take place after a number of whiffed shots, does not have to be the hardest fastest punch but it will have the greatest effect because it destroys your opponent's timing. His nervous system is totally shocked and shut down. This is when guys get really rocked. In Jiu-Jitsu and grappling sports where you have physical contact the sensitivity is physical, whereas in boxing, you can have a sort of visual sensitivity and not even know why you are slipping or how to explain it. Regardless you can slip several times in a row if you're good enough without having any idea what your opponent is going to throw until it happens. Your decision-making is taking place on a millisecond basis. That is an example of where athleticism meets thousands of hours of hard training such that neural pathways are developing into instinct. Not to be cheesy and quote enter the dragon, but in the beginning when Lee says "when I attack I don't hit, it hits all by itself" is an example of the highest level of skill can have assuming that the instinct works most
Have done 2 days this week, never ever done any type of physical sports. The blue belts are all extremely nice and helpful. And some advanced white belts are also very nice people. Gotta keep going. Plan is to go 2-3 times a week.
How to get better? Grapple people much better than you. Eat crow for as long as it takes. Ask where you went wrong. Never give up. Get back out there Drill Learn Never give up (again)
I was talking to a friend that is 2nd Dan Aikido and he is interested in natural movement. When our hand moves to pick up an object, it move naturally in an automatic way. But the motion will be diferent if we racionalize it. With experience we learn how to excecute a moves to the point that it becomes intuitive, but that doesn't mean the move natural. I think this is an interesting concept that is true for everything we do. We can learn public speaking to the point that it feels comfortable, but that doesn't mean we came across as natural and truthfull. And the same goes for the way a leader leads, communicates and operates.
Without having somebody that is actually good and willing to train you- there is a hard limit. You aren’t going to get good at jujutsu without traveling and immersing yourself in it.
Exactly the same thing in kendo. You have to fully commit to an attack even if your real intention is to create an opening. Otherwise it wont fool a skilled opponent. Because they're subconsciously picking up all the subtle clues that you're not really going for what you're pretending to go for and so they'll never react. At least not in the way you want.
Is it recommended to film your rolling so you can see the things you don't otherwise see? I was in this sparring match and out of nowhere I'm thrown to the ground by my arm somehow and I still don't understand how.
I had my first class yesterday and even though I got smashed over and over, I absolutely loved it. Way better endorphins then after a normal gym workout. Check back with me in 6 months.
Carry It - There is a pause, and in that moment a lifetime passes. Time ceases to make sense as we are betrayed by our senses.

Follow that which reignites this feeling and the world will be a mere hurdle in the pursuit that most will fail. You will not be most, but few.
Yep. Sometimes set ups don’t work as expected because the other guy doesn’t know how to properly defend your initial move. Boxing is very similar in that respect. There is a lot of thinking, planning, and execution in combat arts. I guess that’s why they have carried my interest for year after year
Hello, i have a question: i want to join the dutch army, and i got two years left to train. My question is, what is the best way to combine the gym with running? (How often per week? ...). Thank you and greetings from the netherlands!
I run up a steep hill ..sprint up then walk down because if u run down u might fall down and it still works ur legs going down then without rest sprint back up. it’s anaerobic endurance plus ur heart rate stays up. but my thing with lifting heavier weight is don’t do it until failure . if I juggled around my big kettlebells all fatigue I’d drop it on my head and die
Its just like football. You can’t use the playaction (fake run handoff pass play) without first establishing a solid run game. Its why you here people say “the defense needs to respect the run”. Just like Jocko said you have to establish a true Choke as a threat. Once they respect it they guard it. Once they guard it you can use fakes to your advantage. Nobody is going to flinch at a jab that causes ZERO pain.
depends on the strength of the guy jabbing or how quick and explosive. and depends on how strong the chin is . when people get hit it stuns them . jabs set up everything else and they establish ur range.
even a weak job can bust a nose if they can’t defend against it . when someone keeps getting hit then their attacks won’t be as effective whether it’s choking them or whatever. leg kicks and body shots r not as hard to miss as head shots especially if ur opponent has twinkle toes and goes Mohammed Ali right
Always blame your lack of knowledge. Ask "how did you do that?" and "how do I not get caught in that?" Don't make excuses or say "in a real fight." No in a REAL submission battle in REAL life you lost. Be consistent, be obsessed with skills not tattoos, tap out shirts, entrance music and your hair. BJJ is mostly Knowledge so pay attention. As Bruce Lee said empty your cup so you can take in new liquid.
@@jek2142 not bullet. From precise fatal shooting, I agree. You can take a bullet, and, theoretically, keep going and win over your opponent, or something. Gun is like anything else, you have to know how to use it.
oh okay sore loser 😂 u don’t get a gun in jail my dude. u get a mattress without anything in it and one toilet with no privacy. our jail is one of the worst in the country because it’s the bunk type of jail forty guys in one pod . and lots of fights where people get beat down then beat down again . funny how people think a gun gives them security but it’s only a false sense of it. but I get ur humor cause I’m kinda funny myself.
I'm really frustrated with Jiu-Jitsu. I'm not getting any better. I'm a 3 stripe white belt and I've been training for a year and a half three to five days a week. Nothing seems to work for me. I get beat all the time. Even new students give me a hard time. All of the students I started with are all blue belts now and there constantly beating me. My coach and others say"Just keep training and you'll get there". But I never do. I think I'm going to quit.
if you were training at my gym you'd be a blue belt lmao, seems like your gym doesn't give away free belts there's different ways to improve, the concept of just doing the same thing and expecting growth can be stupid... your issue is you might need alternative resources that your gym or way of education is not providing... lmao
u never ran into the right type with that type of training my dude. just cause I haven’t broken a bone yet don’t mean it can’t happen. lots of milk and my grandpa introduced me to strength.
