Thank you for that and can you pls react to Filipino martial arts called Kali for the last time pls
Someone else probably already answered this, but YES the uniform jacket will constantly open, your belt will come off, etc. Most school require some form of rash guard or under shirt to train so you don't get a rash, but the opening of the gi is very commonly used as a method for gripping or choking in both Jiujitsu and Judo. And yeah, Judo and Jiujitsu both have much thicker sturdier uniforms (often double-weaved for extra resiliency). PS: not sure if you noticed those other two guys in the background, but it looked like one of them got submitted to an armbar at about 5:30
Yusuke shouldn't watch black vs black belts as an intro to BJJ. White belts vs Blue belts or purple belts would be way more interesting.
PLEASE do a Karate Sensei tries BJJ :)
I'm a Karate assistant instructor, ex-Shitoryu and current Kyokuyshin, and I enjoy training BJJ alot.
Who wants to see karate sensei tries BJJ sparring?
When Chuck Norris first tried it, he was choked unconscious.
@@Docinaplane He's also a judo black belt so its not like it was a karate vs grappler thing. He rolled with them as a judoka.
@@barrettokarate Yes, that's true. Norris just picked a very elite BJJ BB to roll with.
@@lunarious87 hahaha, drop the crack pipe, my friend!
@@Docinaplane Very elite bb? He rolled with Helio Gracie.. he is the Grandmasters/inventor of BJJ.
Hello Sensei Yusuke, our Kyokushin Karate dojo, has begun to offer Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes, as of this year. You are absolutely correct, the level of stamina, required in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, differs to that of standing, striking martial arts.
It is quite difficult and exhausting at first, having to deal, with an individual's full, heavy weight on top of you, while you try to manoeuvre them off you. Brazilian jiu-jitsu mostly begins on the floor already, however in self defense and in mixed martial arts matches, they begin standing on their feet. There are vast differences, but also some overlapping similarities with Judo, wrestling. From a self defense viewpoint, Brazilian jiu-jitsu in some cases has some minimal striking, so as to condition its practitioners, to be aware of the striking range, therefore familiarising themselves with an assailant in a street fight, would try to punch or kick them. In the end a Brazilian jiu-jitsu stylist will aim to take their opponent to the ground and either submit or choke them out.
I see! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Very easy to understand!
@@lunarious87 Unlike Karate or other striking arts, with BJJ you can go full speed and power in sparring without harming your opponent as long as the other opponent knows when to tap and leaves his/her ego out the door..
It would make sense that it overlap with wrestling. Maeda was a judoka and CATCH WRESTLER. Catch wrestling is the origin of pro wrestling, freestyle wrestling, and folkstyle wrestling.
Good on you for having a crack at commenting. Very respectful (no surprises there with your background).
Ok, so that video is two high belts rolling. Yes the cardio is high and draining and yes, more time on the mats helps one pick and choose when to flow between being active vs being passive.
That roll was a chess match, back and forth, give and take, with white being a little more active and blue a little more relaxed and picking his moments. This is a great martial arts example of 'position before submission'.
There were lots of moments where a lower belt may have tried to jump into a submission, but these two are high level enough to understand that their position would have been compromised if they pulled the trigger too soon. Hence the back and forth.
A few other things worth noting;
1. Most gyms train in takedowns. Due to BJJ being more modern now and usually attached to MMA, takedowns range from more traditional Judo, to wrestling and other. Due to the mat size and having many people free-roll at the same time, for safety most will start rolls from a seated position. But takedowns are definitely trained and part of BJJ.
2. They are in a gi, and the gi is a key component in BJJ, for control and submissions. They are both using that well here. No-gi grappling is a very different beast.
3. Most gyms do train with strikes and/or self-defense, but then free-roll (like here) without strikes.
Thanks for having a crack though. Would like to see you do the same but where submissions are involved. See what your take is on them and if you can see their setups and ideas of escapes.
OSU.
Have a fellow budoka from Kosen Judo on your show. They practice 70% ne-waza and 30% nage waza (unlike in Kodokan Judo where they do things the other way around).
i started off with Japanese Jiu Jitsu and also did some competition in it so i considered my stamina to be good in terms of kicking and punching. Then took additional BJJ lessons to strenghen my groundgame and had to almost start entirely all over again with my stamina, it felt like i sat on my ass my whole life. As time progressed i started to gain better groundgame stamina, or whatever you want to call it, by sparring alot. I guess it took me a month or so (training once bjj a week besides my other routines) to gain a reasonable amount of stamina to be able to do some beginner sparring (not as intense as in this vid). BJJ does not always start off on the ground, it depends on the style. I train the Rickson Gracie style which also focuses a bit on throwing and such, and we always startoff in a standing position, unless we do shark tanking or position sparring.
Wow! Thanks for telling me your story!
My biggest tip to appreciate the art would be to know the positions. Guard vs Mount, if we take the perspective of the person on the bottom, they have their opponent in their guard if their legs are wrapped around their opponents waist, above the hips. If their opponent has passed the legs and is sitting above, they have them mounted. There are a couple different positions in between, the major one being half-guard, where the bottom player has both of their legs wrapping up only one of their opponents legs. If you knew nothing else about BJJ (or general grappling) just watching for this and understanding that from guard, the bottom player is more likely to be offensive and attack and from a mount, the top player is more likely to attack will help to enjoy the show. Generally you would want to improve the position from being mounted to having your opponent in your guard or from being in an opponents guard to mounting them before attacking... and ABOVE ALL ELSE... protect ya neck!
Loving the vids, keep them up, power to you for jumping onto an art so wildly different from your specialty. Love it!
Thanks soooo much for your explanation! I really appreciate you checking out our videos!
What would you do if u get in this kinda fight and suddenly u got shouted in ur ear so strong that ur eardrum get damaged, or got fingered in ur eyes?
@@alejandromartintobar5774 hopefully the opponent dedicating an arm/hand to poking my eyes would now be off balance and could be swept or controlled in some way. Could always just also claw their eyes I guess. Not sure about the shouting in the ears, that would suck... I'm super loud though so I guess I would just shout back, lol. Imagine taping to shouts in the ear! Submission of the year for sure!
@@alejandromartintobar5774it would have no effect. Maybe on a beginner but not a seasoned bjj fighter. While you are trying to yell in an ear or poke an eye, the bjj fighter will be trying to dislocate or break a joint or strangle you. Remember, a bjj fighter can fight dirty as well and probably better.
I don't train karate. But I do train bjj and I found this channel through my appreciation for martial arts. So I'll give my 2 cents on your question in the beginning of the video.
General 3 things to watch for when watching bjj
See who is above who's hips. This shows who's in control and has an over all better position generally speaking. (So being on the bottom isn't always bad and being on the top isn't always good)
Attacking one limb as a distraction to open the opponent for another attack.
Fighting with the legs for both defense and offense is also very interesting.
"Attacking one limb as a distraction to open the opponent for another attack."
That's exactly the same point for us too! Thanks for sharing!
1. Relax
2. Have a strong top position or a good gaurd
3. Alot of practice
Those are my 3 main things I like to focus on when it comes to BJJ
Thanks!
Please react to Muay Thai next sensei!
Oh that is coming up soon for sure!
@@KarateDojowaKu Can't wait!
Judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu are pretty much the same thing they just have different focuses in their game. Judo focuses more on the standing techniques while Jiu-Jitsu focuses more on how to move once the fight goes to the ground. And a judo tournament when the fight goes to the ground opponents have 30 seconds to submit their opponent before they get stood back up. In this exchange there is no striking however in a street fight situation there would be. Throwing strikes changes things. It's also amazing when somebody is throwing a strike they're actually giving you energy that you could use against them. Once you have a grasp of stand-up fighting which strikes and ground fighting with grappling you'll notice that the hip movement and your goal Still Remains the Same. Like in a stand-up fight staying on a straight line is bad. When you're on the ground staying flat on your back is bad. You're always cutting angles because whether it's striking or ground fighting defeating your opponent's elbow gives you the advantage. That can only be done by changing angles whether you're standing up or on the ground changing your angle and giving space for that person's momentum or energy to carry him into that space you just created helps you. Unlike wrestling and Judo where you impose your will upon your opponent and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you focus on what you have control over and that is you. Because of that instead of moving your opponent you move yourself around your opponent. You do this in an effort to conserve energy and create action so that your opponent might make a mistake that you can capitalize on.
I highly recommend you try and Jiu-Jitsu class because your fighting skills are not complete until you can Master both standing techniques and ground techniques. Probably a third area to give attention to should be, knowing how and when to transition from standing position to ground and back up again.
Sensei question #2: I went from TKD, to Karate, to Hapkido, to Kickboxing then BJJ.
Good for you!
Damn. You must be well rounded! Im sure all those skills will come handy to you.
It's typical to start on your knees in Brazilian Ju Juitsu. They lack on stand up with take downs. There are no strikes in their official system the last I knew although, they do implement them in for street self defense and M.M.A. fighting. This is superior to Judo on the floor. Just beware of the Gracie special rules and Machado Brothers. There are good physical conditioning drills for stamina for this.
@@lunarious87 I'm not going to get into my personal story due to too much typing. However, even though I learned excellent technique from BJJ, there is too much blatant favoritism. Also, you pay an arm and a leg for the training. I teach a number of styles standing and rolling. Even though the Gracies are excellent grapplers, many of us have figured them out and moved on. P
S. The Gracies aren't winning anything anymore. Take care
@@lunarious87 Don't know what that's about. I only have my story.
@@BeresheethFarm you obviously didn't find a school to suit you. I met my instructor 10 years ago and no once have I paid a ridiculous amount for training.
@@leedequinceyable I'm happy for you
@@leedequinceyable Where is this school? Cause I may need to move there. I started off with the Gracies in LA and as the rapper 2Chainz would say "they are most expensivest". I relocated to Texas and am considering moving closer to Houston and one school (Gracie Humaita) that I found who isn't afraid to publish their monthly rates are even more pricey. I was lied to! Texas is more expensive than California! LOL As someone who used to teach I understand paying rent, utilities, employees, insurance, etc. but some places are pricey. Granted pricey to one person doesn't necessarily pricey to another.
Without BJJ MMA would be kickboxing. :) Seriously, you need to watch BJJ with submissions.
I will look deeper into it! Thank you!
Uhhh na, you still have other grappling arts that are effective, just not as publicized as BJJ. Also look into the ufc, PLENTY of different disciplines. There still are. But people like their labels.
BJJ, as other grappling techniques, focuses on controlling your opponent. Striking is secondary, but in actual combat, can easily be incorporated in while applying the control techniques. There are many forms/styles which use strikes and kicks, and don't address handling close or direct combat techniques. When put into situations where a person is taken to the ground, punches and kicks are made less effective or neutralized entirely. Having experience in grappling techniques helps in dealing with those situations, as well as placing others into such positions where their more distance focused techniques are made ineffective. BJJ has been recognized as one of the more effective grappling styles for ground combat.
Three most important concepts I've learned are base (ability to absorb and generate force in a given direction), posture (alignment of spine from head to tail), and structure (ability to mechanically create or limit movement). A defining characteristic of BJJ versus other grappling is the guard, this is any kind of position where the bottom player can control and attack the top player, as long as their own hips are separating the top player from their upper body. Passing the guard is often 90% of the battle, especially at high levels. So even though ao was playing bottom a lot, he kept the top player away from his upper body by retaining his guard until he was able to sweep. Definitely different stamina, I compare it to swimming versus running.
structure! That's an amazing concept to have!
@@KarateDojowaKu it is! All three have to work together though, and whoever takes it away from their opponent will likely win a given position. Small guys can easily control and submit bigger partners applying these.
I've done BJJ and Judo for about 8 yrs. I am also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and I boxed for 14 yrs. The mechanics are energy is completely different. You are correct, the stamina, or as we call it (gas), is more of a factor in BJJ and Judo than in any other sport I've practiced. We usually get boxers, cross-fitters, marathon runners, powerlifters, and all kinds of people from all places, and they can't last more than a match before they look like they need an ambulance lol. It's normal. You get better with it as you do it more. The reason why you get exhausted so much is becasue you are using muscles you never used before. When a muscle is used, it requires oxygen to recover. As your muscles get stronger, they recover quicker and do not take your oxygen reserves that much. This is why in Muay Thai, the leg kicks are so effective. The quad muscle is the biggest muscle in your body. If I destroy it, it will empty your gas tank quicker and makes my head kick easier to get ;) Proper technique and experience also aids in your stamina. The more technique you use, the less strength you depend on and you will last longer. I'm glad you are curious. You should go to a BJJ school and try it out. It makes you a more complete fighter and martial artist
Hey Yusuke! I've seen your videos from some time ago, but I never saw this one, so idk if you will respond to my comment. I've been doing bjj for about 1 year now (which is crazy). The three things to watch out for 1) wrestlers that come to do bjj vs people with no grappling experience beforehand. or for that matter people who are athletes like american football players or rugby players (imagine having to grapple a sumo wrestler while you have no experience), it can be really challenging! 2) nails, keep your nails trimmed and filed, the last thing we want is scratches 3) be a good training partner! be honest, tap early and tap often, we are there to train and get better, if its not a match then don't stall the game, if that makes sense. As for striking, you would be surprised how many unintentional strikes happen! one time a noob pulled me into his guard but he did it wrong, and when I landed on him, I kneed in him the groin by accident. Other times when we roll I have been kicked, kneed in the face and jaw or in the ribs. Yes, the Gi is similar to the Judo gi, however it is a trimmed judo gi, so it has less material, not as long etc, because we don't want that stuff in the way. Also, my gym starts randori (rolls) standing whenever we have the opportunity. starting from knees happens less and less. Either we both start standing, or one person starts in open guard (sitting) and the other standing. But also, there are some 'dirty' techniques that can and will be used in official matches, for example smothering, and really really painful techniques like biceps and calf slicers, but it depends, return to rule 3, just be open with your training partner that "I'm here to just do technical stuff," or vice a versa "I'm training for a tournament, I want to use leg locks etc..." if you have a good relationship with your training partner then you can do more stuff (in my personal opinion). I am always a little bit hesitant when rolling with someone I don't know because Idk how they will treat me (if they will really jerk and try to rip my arm off) it doesn't happen too much, but once in a while you do get that guy (or girl) that doesn't know they are being too much of a jerk.
I'll try and answer this as best as I can.
1) we start from the ground because often starting from a standing position waste a lot of time in a 6 min roll. So unless we're drilling stand up, we'll usually start on the ground.
2) It looked like the guy wanted to setup a triangle choke which is why he had his leg on the shoulder.
3) I started with Japanese Ju Jutsu. I do both still.
4) there's no stamina exercises that prepare you for it other than keep rolling. But building cardio by running does help a bit.
Thank you soo much for answering my questions so thoroughly!
Sorry a waste of time? So if you ever have to use your Bjj? Are you going to ask the guy to sit down? Alot of places don't start standing because of the lack of room as in a busy class and then the risk of injury. Everytime there's enough room you should be standing regardless of how long your round is.
@@leedequinceyable Safety was a great point that I forgot to mention. However, I never said standing is a waste of time. I did say that when we specifically go through stand-up techniques, we usually start standing. Therefore, it wouldn't be necessary to "ask the guy to sit down" as you still get adequate training on standing techniques. However, practically, if you were going over ground techniques, you probably wouldn't want to spend 3 minutes of a 5-6 min roll yanking on a gi, fighting for grips. But, what do I know...
@@NUYORK07well you did you said in a 6 min roll, this is where I realize how well coached where I train is, our coach is on us if we are taking to long fighting grips etc but hey I'm surprised you haven't told me your rank yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sensei, react to MendesBros from BJJ. You might like to see them fighting, theyre like magicians of BJJ, always will surprise you
1. Pass the legs or hips
2. Positioning your body where you face your strong parts of the body against their weaker part of the body (e.g. mount)
3. Attack a joint
Thank you! Everyone's talking about the positioning...Interesting...
Shodan ho in Shito Ryu but also have a blue belt in JiuJitsu. Cardio is always cardio and good for you, but the best way to build the stamina of a specific activity is to do more of that activity.
I agree!
If I may suggest a concept that may help you understand BJJ in an intuitive way:
From 8:32 of your video "[For FREE!] A Peak Into My Online Group Lesson!"
You began to discuss a concept of a person's movement being like a full wooden board, and then spoke how a person should be sliding your body in a linear direction and not to rotate it.
BJJ is similar in that concept. Both BJJ players move their bodies as boards as well, and there are many different ways to move these boards on the ground. Ultimately, it is the game where one player tries disrupts the other player's board so natural flat plane in such a way where they concede the match; usually with an armlock, leglock, or choke.
In the video the player in the white gi played a offensive style where he tried to "smash" the other plane. The other player in the blue gi played a defensive style where he was able to conserve his energy with the use of his frames to withstand the other player's attempt to pass those frames.
I hope that helps!
Wow you even watched that video and connected your knowledge with it...! Honestly, this is one of the best comments I've gotten on this channel. Thank you so much for your passion and love for this channel!
@@KarateDojowaKu Thank you, Yusuke Sensei!
BJJ as we know it now was pioneered by the Gracie familiy in Brazil during the turn of the 20th century. The Gracie's in turn were taught by Mitsuyo Maeda -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuyo_Maeda -- from the legendary Kodokan Judo Institute. Quickest way to describe BJJ's to a japanese is that it's a style that focuses on the ground work (newaza, 寝技) techniques of Judo, whereas sport or olympic judo (at least the competition format) focuses more on the throws.
Yes they were huge in Japan too!
@@KarateDojowaKu peoplel are quick to forget the connection of BJJ to Judo, but it's there. If I recall judo history, I think newaza was looked down upon at some point because of some controversy.
@@KarateDojowaKu en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosen_judo
Something happened in 1925 that caused the kodokan to ban newaza from the competitive format. and thus newaza became not so popular in Judo in japan. Meanwhile, in Brazil, BJJ continued to focus on newaza.
also in our BJJ scholl we drill Judo (and "Wrestling" / Judo) Takedowns but often start (mostly but sometimes start from stand up and this, (drill takedowns but not going live / starting from our feet in live sparring) is to avoid injury, for example we had one guy break a leg and another a shoulder, so often starting from the ground is for safety purposes
I went from Taekwondo to Judo/BJJ. The differences are... one you punch and kicks, the other... you pull and grab. Both required good timing, but grappling, to me, is more about setting up your opponent to lose his balance and then use that leverage to either throw or pin or submit. Grappling is all about off-balancing your opponent and use it to your advantage.
First I like BJJ and it is good at what it focuses on, but it is important to know when to use it and when not to. Unfortunately most BJJ practical application is lacking for a few reasons: most schools start from the ground and de-emphisize takedowns, only good against single opponents, etc . There is actually very little stamina and strength needed for BJJ if you are doing it right.
You asked for some of the things to look out for in this type of martial art. This is broken down into distance fighting, then grip fighting, Then position fighting, and lastly submission. Brazilian jujitsu can be broken up easier like this when you first began. And you can start to study each of these components until you can mix them into a total game
Personally i started with jiu jitsu but then i have done boxing and judo to be a more complete fighter.
And for stamina (in my club) we are used to pretty hard warming ups similar to crossfit.
(Sorry if my english is bad ^^')
No no! I understood you perfectly! Thank you.
Basic stuff to remember in BJJ, Elbows in, your open guard needs to be as strong as your closed guard, grips and go, and drillers make killers. Train hard and win easy. It’s okay to win by points, but nobody like a point fighter;) Jiu jitsu is a chess game with your body, what you are looking at is called rolling, it’s basically the same concept of sparring. When rolling live, it’s common to start on ground (decrease chance of injury in a dynamic technique). But when training for a legitimate tournament, it’s stand up starts for 8 weeks;) hope this helps, enjoyed the video
-Blue belt, 3 years training 5-6 times a week
I do bjj and judo i am a white belt in bjj and a orange belt in judo 😊
0:55 1. Never give up your back. 2. Don't use sport Jiu Jitsu in a street fight 3. Don't train at a school unless the head instructor/owner was given their black belt by a Gracie. Obviously not everyone is a black belt under a Gracie but these are the best schools. It's probably best if you're doing it for self-defense to go to a school that doesn't teach sport aspect of it because you get techniques engrained into muscle memory that will get you seriously injured on the street.
But probably in terms of just general Jiu Jitsu I would say: 1. Never give up your back 2. Drop your ego at the door. Don't try to win. You WILL get your butt handed to you, when you're submitted don't try to fight it just tap out. 3. Don't give up. Most Jiu Jitsu students quit within the first six months because it takes very long and many schools don't really have a structure you just go in there and roll with random students and constantly get your *** kicked. That's why I study at a Gracie University school that has structured program. You don't do any full on rolling until you can competently perform 36 techniques which also happen to be the techniques most effective in a street fight. Once you finish that curriculum (~ 1.5 years) you get the Gracie Combatives belt (white belt with a blue stripe) and then you can start to join the more advanced classes and do full rolling.. You need to go for another six months before you can test for your blue belt. They want to make sure you have a solid foundation of self-defense techniques before learning the more advanced jiu jitsu vs. jiu jitsu techniques.
Many schools are actually doing this now too. They will have a beginner class where all you do is learn and practice techniques. But to get the Gracie Combatives belt you do actually have to do a simulated fight which is like sparring where the instructor will come at you like a street opponent and you have to perform all 36 techniques during the fight correctly, and only then are you given your belt.
The other thing I love about this is that all belt tests have to be sent to the Gracie instructors who are directly given their black belts under the grand master and they judge the tests. So no individual instructor can award the belt it's all done by the Gracie head instructors.
After training in Karate for years I switched to BJJ in 2008, and I love it. Conditioning will eventually come through the training. Drilling techniques and flow drills are essential. Rolling, which is the sparring portion of jiu-jitsu is something we do at the very end of class after technique training! Some schools will emphasize Judo throws (Nage Waza), and wrestling for takedowns, but are generally taught separate from the ground techniques, until you string everything together, but there are also a lot of BJJ schools that barely teach takedowns.
The history and origins of BJJ is sort of complex, but there are plenty of videos on CZcams that explain, but to put it simply BJJ is what Kosen Judo is in Japan, with a heavy emphasis on Ne Waza! Most of the martial arts culture is familiar with the Gracie family who allegedly invented and then popularized BJJ, but it is really just a subsection of Judo, which all has origins in Japanese Jiu-jitsu. The Gracie's weren't really doing Jiu-jitsu they were practicing Judo in Brazil.
The beauty of BJJ is that
Ohh I see! Thanks for your knowledge!
Your comment was cut short, but I guess we can fill in the blanks. 😉
Best way to appreciate jiu jitsu as a spectator would be to do it! I am only a white belt and I barely know what's going on in that "roll" (sparring in jiu jitsu)
On a serious note, learn the positions. Usually, whoever's hips and legs are past the opponents hips, is in the dominant position. There's about 8 basic positions with variations of those. Mount, Side Control, Guard etc. Each of those positions has a plethora of attacks and escapes.
There's no striking in BJJ. That's so you can train at full speed and go again the next day. And so that theoretically you don't have to hurt anyone. Some gyms train with striking.
Cardio won't help you in BJJ. It's a completely different type of cardio you could be able to run a marathon, and be out of breath in 30 seconds.
I am master on Japanese Jujutsu also have knowledge on Brazilian Jiujitsu. Also can help you with some doubts about differences and similar things that have the Traditional Jujutsu from BJJ. Appreciated your teachings also.
My Bjj experience has been 20yrs plus. Over the years I have trained Bjj at # of different places. Not one of them compare to my current place. Even at an older age, the current place I now train at has been the best place for my conditioning and stamina. The school has a guaranteed 10, 5 minute rounds. Some nights 12 or 15. So what works for me is straight jiu jitsu sparring for conditioning and stamina. Not to say that we don’t do technique, we practice that @the beginning of class. And to have “fun” 4to5x a week, it doesn’t get much better than that.
-Never give your back
-Hip movement
-Tap out or pass out
We start on the ground usually do to space or to avoid injuries due to takedowns, but an actual match always starts on the feet. No striking but you can definitely "shove".
I did some Karate when I was a kid under sensei Kenzo Dozono but I got out of that before highschool. I started BJJ when I was 31 about a year and a half ago.
To build up your stamina I think you have to roll. It's definitely different than striking stamina, I tried muay thai and it was tough!
OSS!
all rules have exceptions
1. try and stay on top
2. if you are on the bottom, try and keep your legs in between you and your opponent and try and get back on top.
3. try to get better and better positions that are more dominant and strong, like on their side, on top of their chest, or wrapped around their back, all of which involve passing their legs (their guard)
4. try to make your opponent submit to a technique on their arms, wrists, or neck once you have secured a dominant position.
5. if you are not succeeding at the above rules, screw it, try and attack their legs.
Do more BJJ
Haha I will see!
Most people come from judo and still practice both, because one complete other, Master Jigoro Kano founder of judo trained jujutsu, but cut of the most part of newaza techniques that we see in bjj , and other guys come of catch wrestlig and sambo for learn new staff.
React to Joe Rogan teaches GSP turning side kick. I wonder what you as a traditional karate guy would think of his technique?
Bim a white belt and 3 things to be aware of is guard where they wrap there legs around you,chokes and locks
Mainly at crowded days at the gym, when the "rola" (or roll in english) which are the equivalent to Kumite , BJJ practicioners starts on the ground position.
Also, there are no rigid rules, but sometimes we do it to avoid the risk of injury linked to the takedown aspect of BJJ (maybe close to a competition day and want to avoid injury or you are injured beforehand and starting on the ground mitigates the risks of making it worse).
Things to be looking out all the time is opponent grips and controling techniques that could evolve to finalisations or sweeps, which are the main win conditions on BJJ fights.
1. Jiu jitsu sparring usually starts on the ground to help prevent injuries during training. Tournaments start from standing.
2. In jiu jitsu the 3 most important things.
A. Dominant position
B. Techniques and ability to chain them together
C. Use what your opponent gives to you for attacks/defense.
don't forget gripfighting they're especially important in Gi.
React to judo please!
Love the reaction from a striker towards grappling
I encourage you to try 1 class, and 1 roll with a smaller upper belt. Jiu-jitsus is know as the soft martial arts,so your not going to get beat up like in an mma sparing match, but you will immediately understand the power of techniques and leverage.
I'm getting to this video a year late, but just wanted to throw in my two cents as someone who has some experience both in karate (Okinawan Kenpo) and BJJ, though I am by no means an expert or even very skilled in either.
I'd say the biggest things to watch for in BJJ, from a fundamentals perspective would be grips, hip control, and whether someone is taking the back.
Grips are very important for taking someone to the ground, moving to new positions or preventing those things from happening. As a really quick, amateur lesson, when standing up having your arm hooked over your opponent's while you both have grips s an advantage, so you'll sometimes get this thing in lower level sparring at least where it almost looks like the fighters are "swimming" as they fight for overhooks. Generally you just have more control like that.
Who has control over the other person's hips is also important for determining who is in the dominant position. Sometimes someone can be on the bottom, but with their own hips and legs controlling the other person's, and in that situation the person on the bottom is in the dominant position. You can sort of judge who is doing better in a spar by who has more freedom to move their hips (again, saying this as someone who has only sparred at the lower levels, haha).
Finally, as with just about every martial art, you don't want to let your opponent see your back. There are a few rare, more advanced moves that can counteract someone being behind you, or even capitalize on it, but for the most part you never want to let your opponent move to being behind you.
A lot of the time when you see BJJ practitioners in that sort of tangle of limbs, what is going on is someone is trying to transition from a non-dominant position to a dominant one, or a dominant position to a more dominant one (which can often be trying to take the back), or both.
Great videos, and I can't wait to seem more (so I won't. Haha. Still have plenty of videos I haven't seen yet!).
EDIT:
One thing I want to point out specifically. At one point in the video you comment that you think the guy in the blue gi looks like he is trying to get on his stomach, and this is not what is happening. What he is trying to do is create space between himself and the other guy to push his hips out/away from the other guy's hips and regain some control. The most fundamental way to do this is a move called "shrimping" (no clue if there is another name for it), where basically you go on your side, and you try to push your hips away from the other guys with your legs while creating space with your arms. Basically, if you lay on your back, you'll have a hard time trying to move your hips towards your head, but you can do that much easier on your side.
You are right in thinking that could make it easier for the guy in white to move to his back though, but in this case to do that he'd have to release the grips he has (or at least one of them), which would allow the guy in blue to more easily move into a more favorable position, and odds are the guy in white won't be able to take his back before that happens. You can move from being on your side to on your back pretty quickly, and in a spar between people of equal skill, I wouldn't sacrifice those good grips for the chance that I can take the back faster than the other guy can move into a new position.
BJJ is in this way I think very cerebral. It is slower than other martial arts, and there is a lot of thought that goes into how to best move from one position to another. You'll often get periods of slowness where the two people are fighting for specific grips followed by sudden bursts of activity where they'll execute a series of moves once they've gotten all the pieces in place. A lot of the martial art emphasizes control in order to facilitate this, of course.
i didnt praticed bjj, but i praticed kungfu and near had ppl praticing bjj ...they do cardio and stuff too, i didnt paid much attention to them, but i saw it, i guess begginers does some training similar to "kata" and then some fighting, but it was normaly kids class that i saw, but always that i saw adults at clas they were sparing
Pretty interesting martial art right?
@@KarateDojowaKu yep , i guess its a good idea pratice it , cause you dont know if a self defense will got you to the ground....so its a good itobe prepared
The best way to conserve energy is to relax and use as little strength as possible until you need it and yeah doing alot of cardio helps
Great tip!
I personally started with Judo and trying to get started with bjj. It is a different kind of stamina. Judo is about explosive energy because the newaza is limited once we go to the ground. BJJ is much more relaxed so you can learn to conserve your energy. There is gi and no gi, and where you see the gripping in gi is where the levers and controls are. There are various ways to submit your opponent, through chokes, joint locks, armbars, etc. Lastly, position before submission!
Thanks so much for your insight!
I started with judo then added karate then added BJJ (and a bunch of other martial arts along the way.) Stamina wise as you said, it is completely different but it is great fun to do. When I first started I was absolutely exhausted within 30 seconds, now I actually find it relaxing, and similar to moving meditation. Also, I have found it is a lot less dangerous having a 'full on' BJJ sparring session than a full on karate sparring session (I come from a style similar to Kyokushin except we allow punches to the head, takedowns etc.)
As someone who trains jiu jitsu and judo before I’d say it’s 95% newaza and submissions and judo the point is for the perfect ipppn
5:17 A lot of people nowadays learn BJJ from coming from other martial arts because they see the value in learning both a striking art and a grappling art. So if you say learn karate and BJJ you have both types of fighting learned. but in terms of what you can do you can just go into learning BJJ right away you don't need any other martial arts experience.
I've just started practicing BJJ and the 3 biggest things I've learned are keeping awareness of the lapels to the gi due to the many chokes that can be done, constantly try different techniques if one isn't working especially since you will have different body types, and 3 is to keep a sense of stamina because part of the grappling is managing how much energy you use in a bout since the more tired you are the more likely you will get sloppy with either your attack or defence
And to expand on one of the points a little more I've yet to do competition for BJJ but our practice bouts last 6 minutes which is an eternity when your on the mat so you get exhausted real easy. P.S. for belt promotions at least at my gym you have to spar for 1 minute with every member present at the gym so should you be unlucky and there be 20 people you have to last 20 minutes without rest to be promoted
Haha, I love your initial reaction when started sparring/rolling from a seated position. I started with mostly standing martial arts before I tried BJJ, and that first week I felt like a total fish out of water. I second what @Steve said below. Typically you never want to attack from an inferior position, so you'll see them spend a great deal of time and effort readjusting grips and shifting weight to get to one of those dominant positions (side control, mount, the back). After I'd only had few weeks training I rolled with a new white belt that tried to choke me from inside my closed guard. His attack from a non-dominant position resulted in failure, as well as getting tapped to an armbar. I feel it wouldn't hurt to also start grouping techniques in your mind: positions, escapes, sweeps, passes, chokes, armlocks, leglocks, etc. Obviously, there are no striking techniques, but most gyms/schools will have boxing or kickboxing classes to teach some basics for dealing with strikes.
I’d say the most important thing are your position, your are and leg placement, and your opponents arms and legs but that’s my opinion
Oh yes, another subscriber also told me about that! Thank you!
@@KarateDojowaKu your welcomeee and heyyy from another karateka !
it's human chess, my friend. it's a set up for a set up for a set up. think of it as solving the rubik's cube, while the rubik's cube is attacking you at the same time.
1:50 If you're fighting an opponent on the street anything goes..but there are no strikes of any kind in BJJ. I don't know how it is in Japan but here in the US if you fight someone and you injure them you are likely to go to jail and stand trial. even if it is ruled as self-defense the other person or their family can sue you for their injuries.. This is one of the positives of BJJ is that you can overpower and beat an opponent without any possibility of injury (if you are very well trained) and so you can easily subdue someone until the police arrive or something if they are causing trouble without hurting them.
Some people who take up BJJ have previous backgrounds in Judo, Wrestling and/or other grappling arts and some people start from scratch, having no experience with grappling when taking up BJJ.
Sensei
OH !!! One of the 3 things about Jiu Jitus is definitely to WASH THE GI EVERY DAY .... lol or at least after every session.. I have rolled with some guys where they do not wash their gi and it is very unpleasant.. Also I call it Gi because that's what the Gracies call it so its called a Gi in BJJ.. I guess maybe this can be acceptable since it's a different type of uniform? It is very thick.
Do a reaction to judo and shuai jiiao
I will take that into consideration!
React to american kenpo karate or kajukenbo without tatemae ;)
Though bjj effectiveness on the ground is out of doubt (there are even vids where one bjj master submits two experienced grappler on the ground at the same time, it’s full throttle, no demonstration), I don’t know…It needs improving in striking as much Karate needs in ground work. They’re maybe one of the best possible match.
most people i knew did both judo and BJJ, it was maybe only 20% of the class who only did one or the other.
Three common things to be aware of? I would say weight distribution, submissions, and how either opponent could pin and establish control. In bjj they start standing like judo but pulling guard is an option. The best exercises for stamina in bjj is just more bjj
Grounded arts also superb
The objective is to achieve mount position
I'll be interested in you doing a commentary on judo.
Knowing when your in danger or being brought to danger.
Knowing how to move and stop other guy from moving
Good stuff!!
Would love to see you try BJJ and then return the favor and have the grappler spar with you in karate. I would also recommend watching a high level BJJ player go against a lower belt. Watching high level sparring is more difficult for a beginner to understand. 🤙🤙
Grappling is very effective against a pure striker. Think about it. When you are on the ground, you can not strike with the power that you can generate on your feet. If the grappler understands positions to put you in, you will be his rag doll until he submits you. lol Learn some grappling or you will always be a partial artist.
BJJ is a real science. I love it! It really give an opportunity to win over a bigger and stronger opponent. Furthermore the basic movement is very healthy and good complements of every standing fighting styles.
Try grappling! It's fun! You'll get cramps all over your body. But it is really fun! They are just actually flowing to get familiar with the transition. You practice on the mat to get familiar with the transition from every position. BJJ is like playing chess, Sensei. They are only using 40-50% of their strength. 💪🏽
Ohh I see. It's like soft sparring
@@KarateDojowaKu Exactly Sensei! Try BJJ it is really fun when you are starting. You'll get cramps even with your fingers. Lol. More power to your channel! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Judo and wrestling are almost always incorporated into bjj. We also do gi and no gi bjj
They start on the ground cuz that's where ground fighting takes place, and no strikes, submissions only. People go into bjj fresh and from all other arts all the time, it's best to go into it after knowing wrestling imo.
The guy in whit wants to past the guys in blues legs. Called his gaurd.
Of the grappling arts BJJ is easily the least exciting to watch if you don’t know what’s happening. Things like Judo and wrestling have pretty obvious “highlight moments” For those that do know, they can be entertained because there is a lot subtlety to their positions. Of the grappling arts however bjj is arguably the best at finishing because BJJ has the deepest arsenal of submissions out of any of the grappling arts.
Every guy I know that did a nongrappling martial art that tries it has their mind blown on how helpless they are against a grappler. Get to a BJJ gym or Wrestling gym. It will change your life if you can check your ego and what you think you know about fighting.
Oss
Oss!
These two guys are going very very easy on each other. They can probably roll like this for an hour or more easy
I think bjj is the same with Ju Jitsu
I think there are some differences!
@Karate Dojo waKu maybe you react to jesse's brother oliver he's a karate fighter and Jiu Jitsu practicioner and a mma fighter
This is gi bjj! So thd same of the game is to pass the guard, into a control position and then submission
You didn't choose the best match to analyse tbh. They are good and they know what they are doing, but it's not a very dynamic match. Check any videos of Rafael Mendes for some crazy movement.
Why don't you have a roll ! You will get the shock of your life
I've done it once!
Come down to Axis Meidaimae in Tokyo if you have a chance and experience BJJ first hand
He has tried jiu-jitsu firsthand. Someone else asked him if he's ever rolled and he said yes.
Learn jiu jitsu... start today!
In tournament they start standing like judo
Senpai, I’ve read every comment here, gained some understanding and lost a lot of respect. Not for the art but for the sport. It seems imo, very ego driven. I’ve read multiple times “leave your ego at the door” it seems like people pick it up on the way back out the door lol. Do they really believe being punched/kicked/knee’d in the face will only help them get the take down? Do they really think they can time and catch a well set up kick/sweep or urichan? They don’t know Lyoto used the over hook against them with the foot sweep? Let alone how it’s useless in the streets if your opponent has buddies. Whereas one kata like bassai dai is meant for multiple opponents. They don’t actually think there’s no grappling wrist locks or throws in the katas right? Hikate oizuki would ruin a lot of peoples day while they’re trying to “get a grip” not saying there’s nothing to learn from the sport but someone had to say it! (Or maybe I should just keep that all a secret 🤔 )Thanks for solidifying my training with this video senpai. I’ll be training 10X harder now thanks! OSS!
(Sorry for bad Japanese)
There is a nice overview of BJJ on youtube 'Intro to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu' on 'Art of Manliness' channel.
Do you mean by starting with bjj as not knowing what to do and going straight into bjj if so that's what I do
Bro. If you dont go attend atleast 6 solid months of bjj your black belt in any other martial art is negated
Is Kajukenbo a type of karate
👌
To really get good understanding of BJJ you might want to try a lesson.
We also do No Gi like in my picture.
Kettle bell swings, turkish get up help with BJJ
Personally i Went wrestling to bjj :)
