Just started reading this thread, 2 stripe white belt in BJJ in Brisbane, Australia.

For some reason I read about everything else I'm interested in on SA but never thought to find the thread earlier.

I went to seven classes and one open mat this week. I think I'll dial it back next week so my body doesn't break down. Constantly getting tapped but can't get enough.

yeah, I first gave BJJ a try more than 10 years ago under Matt Cooper at Advanced Martial Arts, and he was a purple belt then, and there would have been 5 or so black belts max in Australia. Probably 100+ now.

e: Bob is the #2 ranked adult black belt in Gi in Australia right now, and #30 in the world

I started there too, actually, shortly after he got brown. Left after I got blue.

I was in his first group of students when he started on his own after Ken Dunstall(?) left. I'll have to go and visit an open mat there some time.

I agree with Danaher when he was speaking to Rogan, the worst injuries you see are from people attempting to jump guard and only making it halfway. There is the odd heel hook taken too far, but you need to trust the people you roll with aren't trying to hurt you. If they are you need to speak up or go to a gym with a better culture.

I need to get better at knowing submissions. I've been doing well getting into full mount but don't know many submissions from it. I tend to do armbars and stuff that blue belts could probably see coming a mile away lol

I've been trying to get a Kimura from there, but my base seems too far forward most of the time, I'll keep working it. A cross collar choke can also be good from mount in the gi.

Don't think I'll be buying more Tumeric, seems to do very little to nothing. The joint pain in my elbows has gone away, but I think that's just due to time more than anything. My fingers are still feeling pain in continuously inventive ways, it seems to change every few days.

I made my professor tap. It was about two days after he got heel hooked by Craig Jones in a match and he was kicking his leg up to my hip to pull guard but his foot got caught in my pants leg.

They might have been too rough, but you also need to learn to tap when you can't escape, not wait for it to hurt.

I think the gauntlet it's pointless hazing, just to get that conversation started. I basically talked my professor out of doing it at his new school.

# ¿ Apr 28, 2018 01:09

starkebn: May 18, 2004; "Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"

Fabio Gurgel was one of the first guys to do it, and this is what he thinks:

He expressed his opinion on his blog (translated from Portuguese):

quote:

Perhaps my biggest mistake and that must have cost me hundreds of students was The Gauntlet .

It all started as a joke in my gym at the Federal Club where I began teaching classes alone in 1988, (my master’s gym did not have this custom), I’m not sure where I got this terrible idea but the fact is that I used it for a long time and it has spread in jiu jitsu at a frightening speed, possibly other teachers like me started on their own and maybe as many others I have somehow influenced, to those I ask my sincere apologies, however the fact is that this ritual became part of the jiu-jitsu academy’s environment, the students endured it and even liked it because it seemed like a test like the ones we see in war movies where military barracks prepare their soldiers to face the difficulties that are to come,the students felt worthy of that new belt for having endured that beating that in the end had no purpose.

Time passed and jiu-jitsu academies turned increasingly to the competition and always prioritizing the participation of tough students felt no need to change the promotion party after all being tough was almost a must, and what was a simple beating for a guy accustomed to suffering in jiu jitsu training for competition?

One fine day I had an experience that made me rethink everything in this respect, I had been studying and every day more understanding that we were moving away from what jiu jitsu needed in terms of offering jiu jitsu for everyone and not just for the class but at a promotion party we had the presence of the mother of a student who would be promoted on that day, she was at the beginning all proud probably expecting a glamorous ceremony (alias as it should be) when suddenly the “Gauntlet” was formed , shouts of “Uh he will die” were chanted by all the almost 100 students who were on the mat, and there was the kid going through that insanity, his mother was terrified and told his father that they should report it in a police station! The father was torn between the pride of seeing his son win the situation and conquer the dreamed belt and the one of calming the mother, the son was promoted and his happiness caused that the mother gave up to launching a complaint and only accepted to congratulate the son, but that for me was the straw and the proof that something very wrong was happening and that it was necessary to change.

Never again did I allow this to happen in my gym, but now the test is not resistance but technical, the belt exams have taken the place of the gauntlet and the result is arguably better, my students are submitted to a fair test and which confronts them with what really matters if my school is managing to teach them a good jiu-jitsu.

This change has not happened in isolation and therefore I can not attribute the growth of my academy to her alone, I have already told you about some changes that I have implemented in my school and that all together produce the result I have today, but I have a certainty, the gauntlet should be abolished from all jiu-jitsu schools in the world.

Whether or not it's opt-out, the peer pressure will be there for people to do it.

I don't think anybody cares if you have no problem with it personally, do what you want, but it seems really stupid to pretend it's a great tradition that must be done or you're some sort of too sensitive girly man. It's only been done for 30 years at most, and I'd be surprised if any Gracies or Machados do it in their gyms.
