I know I have said this before, but you must break balance to throw or sweep. It is impossible to put someone on the ground without off balancing them in some way. Most effectively we use multidirectional off balancing. Moving someone in more than one direction at a time leads to better takedown prospects. Be aggressive, move people, make them fall over, above all remember this is a combat sport.
I say this a lot, but you should play to your strengths. If you’re agile, be agile. If you’re flexible be flexible, and gasp if you’re strong be strong. Don’t get in your own way, use the attributes you have as long as they are not negatively affecting your performance. Gordon Ryan might be the least athletic elite athlete in all of sports, but he is highly intelligent in his approach and dedicated to his craft. He uses his attributes and work ethic incredibly. Nicky Rod has had similar success with utilizing his attributes to accomplish incredible things. He only recently has shown conventional Jiu Jitsu skills. Anyone can win in Jiu Jitsu with an intelligent strategy, you just have to find yours.
We all coast in training, I’m probably the primary offender. Nonetheless it is necessary to leave your comfort zone and expand your capabilities. If you aren’t leaving practice tired, something is wrong. You shouldn’t be dead all the time, but you should definitely feel like you’re working. Actively try to win every round, pay attention to self-defense strategies, competition strategies, whatever your goals are, work to be successful in them. Not moving should never be the goal. Test your limits please.
I wish Jiu Jitsu was a hobby, it’s not though. If you treat it like a hobby, you’re just sort of perpetually dissatisfied. It’s just too much of a commitment for me to consider it a hobby. You just have to go all the time, there’s no beer league, it’s not really casual. You have to put in hard work if you want to get anywhere. You’re either obsessed or you quit and there’s not much middle ground. So yeah, if you want a “hobby” Jiu Jitsu may not be it. If you want an addiction, an obsession, an overruling singular personality trait try grappling.
You’re not entitled to anything. That’s just as true for me as it is for any of my students. There is no amount of money you can pay someone that allows you to be an asshole. If you are a consumer, assume that the people you are buying from are giving it their best. You never know what someone is dealing with. I did many tournaments in the early days of my Jiu Jitsu career without an actual coach, and there are still people that I see all the time whose coaches don’t show up. I think your coach should be at the tournaments you compete in, but if they have a conflict, it doesn’t give you the right to be shitty. The vast majority of people would not survive running a martial arts school, and the work that’s put in doesn’t deserve the treatment it receives. Before you dump on anyone trying to help you, check yourself.
This is where I lose people, and probably a large part of my personality. There’s not a lot of soft edges to what I do or who I am. The art I do is rough, the way I voice my opinion is rough, my Jiu Jitsu is rough. Brutality is a big part of effective Jiu Jitsu. I don’t know how fighting and violence became disconnected, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I never intend to injure people, but hurting people is Jiu Jitsu, there’d be no reason to tap otherwise. Submissions are designed to hurt people, that is entirely the point. If you want to do Jiu Jitsu, you’re going to inflict pain, and be brutal. It does not work another way.
If there is any way to ensure you have a really bad day rolling with me or anyone that has trained submission grappling for any length of time, it’s to peel our fingers. I’d rather you clock me in the head. If you’re going to grab my hand, it must be all four of my fingers and it must be from the side not from the top. If you’ve been warned and you continue, there’s a pretty broad range of acceptable consequences. So just don’t do it, it’s not necessary and it is a sure-fire way to have a bad day.
