train, train, train. i am in the same boat as you, been doing it for a month and i am constantly being tapped. Change your perspective on it though. Rome wasn't built in a day. you aren't going to be any semblance of "good" at this without logging l…
I love that saying
it's REALLY hard... but if you can get over the whole "tapping ego" thing and think of the lesson you learnt from getting tapped it makes things a little easier
but still i get REALLY frustrated some days and i start feeling in a bad mood... but as…
I started BJJ 3 months ago at 39 years old and at 245 pounds. I had not done anything that could be considered exercise in years. At my first lesson I had to go outside and almost throw up after the warm up.
At that point I stood on a knife edge of…
Speaking of discrouraged...Any advice on getting out of a "rut". I am a blue belt and thought I was ready to graduate to purple then got stuck in what I call a rut. I've been getting caught in submissions by virtually everyone at practice/class...ca…
hey joe,
All these replies are just great....they'll sure help u improve ur game.. i can give an advice....u will get a sure morale booster...which i experienced myself...
i have been practicing BJJ from past one and a half year...
do this thing...…
I talked to one of the guys at my school the other about this very subject, his name is Rich. Rich is a brown belt, NCAA division ! wrestling champ, now fights MMA 12-2 record. He told me when he began training BJJ he went 3 or 4 months of getting t…
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you are in a smaller dojo with very limited training partners. Not that a situation like that is bad, but you tend to learn each others moves quickly and begin to "stale-mate" every time you roll. Which in a way is…
And another thing:
Probably the best benefit to cost ratio money I have spent for BJJ is:
Saulo Ribeiro's "Jiu-Jitsu University" (about $25 including shipping from Amazon).
The first chapter works on WHITE BELT SURVIVAL -- explicitly.
The second…
First, let me confirm all the good encouragement everyone else has been offering. Stick with it, stay healthy (tap early and often), and seek out those partners who can (not only) tap you, but who will then explain HOW it happened. You want the guy…
Whats up Joe;
Take your time. Be EASY. Work on your cardio. Practice Philes, YOGA FOR FIGHTERS which will help your breathing and flex. If your breathing properly you wont gass out as fast, you wont panic, which means you think and re-act better. we…
It only gets better. I have been doing this for about eight months now and never thought I would love it the way I do. Every single time I tap it was a lesson learned. Dont continue to look at you tapping as a loss but as a first step into figuring…
A lot of time people who are new at jiu jitsu gas out easily because they accidently hold their breath. You may not think you're doing it, but you might be. Ive just gotten over this recently...and im young
The other day I completely gassed out that I could barely maintain posture. Any suggestions on how to overcome this gassing out phase. I get up Mon-Fri to work at 6 a.m and take care of 2 kids after work.
WHAT IS THE DIFRENCE BETWEEN A BLACK BELT AND A WHITE BELT? i ask my students. the difrence is that a blackbelt has been more discouraged and has tapped more in his jiu-jitsu career. If it was easy there would be thousands of BJJ blackbelts around.…
Great post Roberto! If there's one thing I've learned it BJJ, it's not what you know, it's how you use what you know. I've reached Purple with one of the most basic games out there.
These days, there are all of these exotic guards, and sweeps, but…
