SHOAH NUFF posted:- I struggle real hard with breaking and passing guard. Sometimes during free rolls I will spend the entire 3-5 minute round stuck in someone's guard, unable to pass. The only guard pass concept I have had success with is getting 1 or 2 of their legs on my shoulders. If I can get both arms underneath their legs that is great. Once someone's guard closes I don't really know what to do besides roll my hips, base out my knees and wait for them to do something. I hate standing up in someone's closed guard because they (higher belts especially) instantly use my stood-up leg to get a sweep. Literally life-chaning advice I got yesterday "getting in someone's guard is a bad thing" I feel like as a white belt, at least for me, you sort of instinctively think guard is a thing you are supposed to get into since you learn so much stuff "from guard" Have you been practicing knee slices? So far my three main go-tos from guard are 1. If there is a cross-collar grip, turn into the grip, extended same leg, apply pressure to opposite knee, knee slice 2. No collar grip, inside elbow base, rotate 90 degrees, isolate leg, knee slice 3. Stand up, come back down with knee inside

Haha well, for the past month whenever we start to do free rolls I ask my partner if I can start in their guard, so I can practice getting out of it. I guess here is a place to say that I wish all BJJ practice rolls started from the feet, I hate the start on knees crap and would rather just start in a position if we can’t do standing I have tried the knee slice but am probably doing it wrong

Just start on your feet. The other dude can stay grounded or get up.

I thought after being gone for a week from the gym I would roll like poo poo from stuffing myself during the break but low and behold I actually surprised myself and it was like the week off had little effect. I credit this due to learning how to breathe properly while rolling and making my movements very deliberate. SHOAH NUFF posted:- I struggle real hard with breaking and passing guard.

I got caught with a training partner of mine today in nogi that kept applying the lockdown while in half. I noticed that if you keep you leg up, the lockdown starts to become ineffective and you can work your pass. Look for opportunities (if from full guard) to setup guard passes by controlling your partner's arms. There are some pretty effective ones from full guard and they are pretty effective.

Friends, it is much easier to open your opponents closed guard from standing.

Legit Shoah, at least at my school, there is no rule against starting from standing. Most dudes just don't do it because a. space and b. they want to work on ground technique without eating a bump every time. But there are dudes who start from standing all the time at my place. If they are dudes I think I can handle from standing, I stand too. If not, I stay down and let them take that advantage at the start.

Watch high level competition, guard passing is damned hard. 80% of the game is trying to pass or trying to sweep from guard

Standing up inside a closed guard should be a deliberate and cocky act. Show the person that they hosed up by letting you have posture and just stand up. Standing in the closed guard is good. I'm just a nobody but I feel like a lot of newish people don't do it or don't pull the trigger properly because they're afraid it's not going to work.

I let people stand up in closed guard, because I find it way easier to go for omoplatas and sweeps and I'm too lazy to bother with the whole breaking posture thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMf-5-pGieE I've been working this closed guard break a ton and have been successful against pretty much everyone with it (at breaking guard), just need to be careful with hiding the knees and keeping an ankle back when you stand up

starkebn posted:Watch high level competition, guard passing is damned hard. 80% of the game is trying to pass or trying to sweep from guard Yeah someone at my school said the same thing, the whole sport is about passing or regaining guard so don’t be too tough about sucking at one or both. It’s like a beginner basketball player being frustrated with their jump shot Mel I’m gonna ask to start from standing more often

Ended up teaching advanced problem solving on choke mechanics for the north south choke and the arm triangle. If I cover another class I will continue with trouble shooting the back triangle and traditional triangle.

Is there any etiquitte for open mats? Had a black belt show up and start ordering people around (You, roll with this guy. You, stop talking and fight.) and turned on the timer and started getting onto people. A friend, and I, had specifically set aside time to come to that open mat and work on a couple of things with each other and nothing else. He's (the black belt) not an instructor at our gym, he just comes to train. Would it be a major problem for me to just say "No, go away."?

I think in some martial arts a black belt automatically makes you a master or instructor or “sir/ma’am” maybe that was his mentality sounds like a dick tho

I got a new job that pays well, and as a result I can afford to start up doing Judo once a week at a club close to me which I've been meaning to do for the last couple of years. So it'll be super fun being a white belt and not feeling like I need to actually know what I'm doing again!

Moved to the city from another place and doesn't really interact with anyone (like in a personable way). He's very good, I just think he's one of those dudes who has the attitude that BJJ is life and if you don't eat/drink/breath it you're a bad. A lot of that stuff changes when you get married, get a full time job, and have several kids.

I just gave my white belt to the club for other people to use when they forget theirs, and plan to do the same with the rest of my belts. I'm not the kind of person who needs to hang on to that sort of thing.

Rolled with a visiting lady in no gi last night and was absolutely unprepared for how heavy and "powerful" (leverage and timing) she was. I found out later she's a purple belt instructor at another gym. It was my first personal experience with someone smaller than me just absolutely crushing me; I mean our head coach is also a lady, and a brown belt, but since I know what's what with her our rolls are framed differently right from the start. Thinking about it a bit more, it's also that the purple was using more of a pressure game where the brown belt is all about movement; rolling with her feels like trying to hold on to one of those Andy Capp dust clouds.
