Rolling with 13 year old kids who just got out of the kids class is the worst because you know when they get bigger from puberty and they become more coordinated they are just going to kick your rear end eventually. They are also so fast it is scary lots of the time.

Yea whenever a new guy in my class asks me about a technique or a position, I always tell them the wrong way to do it. Gotta sabotage 'em early.

Ugh, i wish i had the opportunity to wrestle from an early age in school. I am currently studying to become a phys-ed teacher for primary school and i will be damned if i don't have playful optional grappling sessions with them instead of the usual soccer/basketball/volleyball every day sports. My students won't be bullied!

Any tips for a white belt on passing from side control to mount with a big size disadvantage? Every time I started to do it, he just pushed me off and swept me instantly. The last time, I just lifted my leg briefly to fake the pass, and he still swept me. Okay, this last one probably means I just need to work on my base, but still, seems like you have to compromise your base temporarily to move to mount. Looking back, it occurs to me to try and clear his arms before he can get leverage; maybe something like the "swimming" motion I was taught for maintaining mount position against the "bench-press" style mount escape. Would there have been any chance of success with something like that? (Of course the obvious solution is not to let him see the pass coming. But we were just doing drills; submissions were out, so of course he had a pretty good idea what I was aiming for.)

Don't try to mount, try to work from side control. I don't know why, but I find it easier to control the other guy and work for submissions from side control than mount. Since you said you were doing drills and couldn't submit them, though, what about going from side control to knee on belly to mount?

Try knee on belly, then slide your knee across their chest trying to get your knee into their armpit. You have to slide it upwards so they dont catch your foot and reclaim half guard.

Lower your shoulders and expand your chest by drawing a deep breath, this will both drastically increase the pressure and crush their windpipe. Instead of trying to make your elbows touch which will just burn out your arms, push your hands away from you like you're doing a scissoring motion. You can also clench your fists while doing all of this, which will flex the muscles in your arms and cause a tiny bit more constriction. I think something like 70% of my passes to mount from sidecontrol are based around a failed bridge by the opponent, usually people will try to bridge right away to avoid you establishing sidecontrol or try it shortly afterwards if they sense you trying to set something up. As their hips peak and start coming back down after a failed attempt it's easy to slide your knee and foot over as they're preoccupied with their bridge. Plus 99% of the time people will bridge with both feet planted on the ground and therefore not have that "knee against your hip with their foot on the other knee" check going on. The timeframe of opportunity is small for pulling it off, but if you get good at it it's remarkably high percentage. If someone is really giving you trouble passing though, you can just switch to reverse sidemount and from there you can grab your own foot with your hand and then you can pull it across so high on their torso it's nearly impossible to stop.

Out of curiosity, are most people here training exclusively BJJ? If so, how much are you guys paying? I just tried out a different place today, and I think I'm gonna stick with this one. The head instructor is a really cool, laid back guy. The gym is really into tournaments/competitions, which I like. Im paying about $135 a month for about 4 days a week... its a little steep, but Ill just cut back on some other expenses to make it work  Im getting my rear end kicked but I LOVE it.

I pay $113/month. Normal classes are offered five days a week, with five classes a day, plus open mats. Saturdays and Sundays are judo, competition specific classes and conditioning. There are plans to add wrestling and yoga in the future as well. It's a pretty good value in my opinion. The gym is frequented by a bunch of major fighters and the head instructor will roll with anyone. Additionally, despite being Brazilian the head has no qualms with his students going to train BJJ at other gyms. It's also a fairly new gym which means we do not have a lot of guys beyond the blue belt level yet. We only have one homegrown purple belt, no brown belts except for two of the instructors and the rest of our purple belts are from other gyms. On the flipside of the coin, I got a lot of free private lessons with the head instructor in the early days because there weren't a lot of students. My instructor basically retooled my bottom game completely and refined my top game. Before, I was like a lot of big guys, bad from the bottom and rough on top with lots of strength and explosion but very little technique.

I hate mount because if someone bucks you off you're almost always on the bottom. Side control might also be easier for me because I'm taller so I'm able to cover more area than other people I don't know maybe I'm just stupid and should try to work from mount more often who knows.

Practice your control from mount, especially utilizing your length to hold people. There are a ton of little things that go into this, so ask a black or brown belt for pointers, and check out some of Roger Gracie's stuff online (he is the king of the tall man mount). Also, if you feel you're losing it, practice sliding back to side and then remounting, this is a great way to trap arms and set up chokes. I used to be the same way about mount, preferring, the side but was really encouraged to go back and work on it. I'm still figuring things out but my mount is getting heavier and I can really see the value of it.

$89/month for a Renzo Gracie black belt instructor at a relatively new academy (translation: the only people around are a bunch of white/blue belts and one purple belt; that's the only thing I feel might be missing). Four classes a week plus conditioning 1x/week. There are some extra classes open only to blue belts but I think they pay a little more. Also, thanks to the people who answered my question.

$220/month. The advanced class on Monday had five black belts, three brown belts, eight purples, and ten blues. That's pretty average for a Monday.

$100 a month for the opportunity of 6 days a week, but the building rents for about $1100 per month. (I train with a purple, a whole bunch of blues, and a collegiate wrestler.) I'd say we have about 10 consistent people and various others. Rent ought to be cheaper for our locale but it ain't because there's a lot of government work in this area (and high real estate prices).

Pricing is hard to compare since it really depends on location. $200+ per month is pretty average for Manhattan whereas it would be extraordinarily high in most other areas.

Here's a funny and/or creepy story of real life melding into goon life: I was at a small tourney in midtown once and saw cortx. I didn't know for sure it was him, but somehow I got a strange, ineffable feeling that this skinny, bald, weirdlooking white dude with fierce eyebrows and a Manto Tokyo rashguard who was putting his legs behind his head during warmups was the kind of guy who would frequent SASMMA, a suspicion that was confirmed later when cortx posted those videos of him doing the Rings of Saturn on himself.
