Redpill me on BJJ

That is judo. This is BJJ
>>
I'm going to take the bait and tell you that the OP pic is Judo.

If you're in the US, BJJ is by far the most accessible grappling sport for adults with tons of rolling partners and a developed community. If you're talking about being effective for da streetz, then it's fine too as long as you have a top-heavy game.
>t Judoka and BJJer

It's like the only sport on Earth that's judged for its capacity to make you good at something not sports related. If you asked a tennis player about their ability to wield a sword they wouldn't do that well. But it's like what does tennis have to do with swords? What does BJJ have to do with fighting randos in bars? And the worst part is there's never been a fight with a stranger that wasn't stupid as fuck. What? Is he calling you something half as bad as 4chan says every minute? Is he being mean to a woman? What's worth fighting about?

People also criticize BJJ for not being good at stand up. But guess where I got connections and took classes that offered stand up? The fucking same fucking gym. Wrestling small groups, weekly wrestling classes, guys who took judo, connections to judo gyms, muay thai, boxing small classes, MMA camps coming through. I get plenty of exposure.

And by time anyone is actually arguing about the curriculum of what's actually going on in BJJ it's the sweatiest weirdos complaining about leg locks versus passing guard and whether you should be wearing a gi or not. But at the end of the day you really should just show up to class if you like it and you'll likely get an honest class out of it and you needn't concern yourself with the curriculum until you're a blue belt because it doesn't take a lot to give someone their grappling noob gains

I've boxed and kickboxed for probs on and off for nearly two decades with no injuries beyond bust lips bruises, some newfag's cheap shin guard having a sharp edge I cut myself on, and being knocked out for a second or two a couple of times.

but I decided to give rolling a go to add to my arsenal and came out with a tweaked neck, couldn't look left for a whole day, then I did some shit to my back that thank fuck wasn't serious but fucking hurt for several days.
not worth the risk and it's completely useless outside unarmed 1v1, so basically outside the sport.

I used to enjoy watching group MMA (5v5) and grapplers just get raped.
BJJ is "turn yourself and your opponent into a pretzel while his buddies stomp your completely undefended head."

>>
>>77383295
essential but obviously incomplete
teaches essential techniques taught virtually nowhere else (outside of MMA)
take for example the most common submission hold in MMA - the rnc. absent from judo, sambo and wrestling.

>BJJ is "turn yourself and your opponent into a pretzel while his buddies stomp your completely undefended head."
alongside old-school MMA and self-defense BJJ are the virtually the only martial arts that teach you what to do if you end up on the ground with someone trying to stomp your head

Grappling is extremely dangerous if you go 100% and dont know what you are doing. You definitely had a big ego thanks to your striking and approached it wrong. You go slow and don't tense and use technique and allow yourself to be put in bad positions to escape and see what works. You tap early and often.

Once again I repeat that the most dangerous people to roll with are new people. If your instructor is competent they will use several methods to deal with this:
1. Gym enforcer - big fat wrestler or roidfag that can shut down any inexperienced person of any weight
2. Making people sit up to a month before being allowed to roll while explaining repeatedly that there is no "winning" in the training room

If your instructor has no such system in place they are retarded and you are at a retard gym for retards. A 300lb new white belt being matched with a 180lb more athletic but also new white belt striker in grappling is the prototypical snap city matchup. Fatty gets hackles up and smashes striker with pure fat wrestling energy and striker also goes 1000% because they fear embarrassment because they are the "more experienced fighter." In reality they are both garbage and would get obliterated against any trained opponent. Both injure each other and quit.

BJJ is safe (safer than wrestling) if you are in a non-retard gym and you know your limits. Tap right away and if you're drilling moves tell your partner if they're doing submissions too hard for practice. If your gym is making you do cartwheels or weird partner drills like lift and carries and you can't do them safely you have to say no despite le gym culture.

I have been through all of this over almost 20 years in BJJ and it is fascinating to see that white belts injuring each other is still the core of BJJ to this day.

I happen to be something of an expert on the topic
And it's mostly a pretty gay waste of time, totally overhyped slop full of delusional pedophiles with bad attitudes at the top and unathletic boomers at the bottom

Wrestling around with the lads is fun but everything else is awful, especially the way people teach this shit
It's actually incredibly simple and easy but gets overcomplicated because the retards running classes don't have the capacity for basic pattern recognition, so they think there's thousands of moves but really there are only like 6

Judo does often end on the ground. You can win a judo match via armlock, strangulation or pin.

Fun sport, good for making friends and having a good time training. Dog shit for self defense and actual fighting. That’s pretty much all you need to know.

It was a lot more fun back in the day before it really took off thanks mostly to Rogan and his friends. The guys you’d meet were mostly normal back then. Now every gym is mostly obnoxious retards.
>>
>>77383371
Let’s be real. It’s the BJJ cultists who insist on evaluating it as something other than a sport. They’re the ones who asking around telling everyone that BJJ is like a forbidden death jutsu technique and instantly makes you the baddest most dangerous motherfucker in every room. Yeah, we all evaluate it as if it’s not just a sport but that’s because they start it.

It’s just a sport, but it’s a fun sport that’s popular where you can make a lot of friends. But you guys are the ones who want to make it into something else.

P.S. whatever “stand up” you’re learning at a BJJ gym is dog shit. I’m sorry to tell you. Go to a legit boxing coach or don’t bother.
>>
>>77383301
It’s beyond useless in da streetz. I don’t know why you fags won’t just accept this. If you are doing a martial art for self defense, you are wasting your fucking time. Maybe one day jiu jitsu will help you grapple for a knife as you get stabbed in the chest 30 times and rapidly bleed out in the process but beyond that, it is beyond fucking useless.

I’ve been training both the last few months but I really think I prefer Judo over BJJ. It didn’t really take me that much time to start hitting throws with Judo but I have a hard time guard passing and finishing subs against lighter guys with more experience. From this I do think BJJ is legit for smaller guys defending themselves from larger guys but also it has limitations and plenty of practitioners have gotten rekt irl using it.

>>77384356
That's mainly because BJJ teachers are retarded. You really have no business learning submissions until you have command over pinning, and principally being able to move around between positions without losing control of the other person.
Put your typical retarded BJJ teacher just shows you 2 or 3 random submissions in every class, spends no time working on the soft skills which are actually what matter and you're left to figure it out on your own

Honestly anyone that's teaching jiujitsu and not using CLA at this point is a scammed
The debate is settled on this matter, they're just not running practices properly without it
Everyone always talks about how it takes 10 to 15 years to get to black belt in bjj but the fact of the matter is people who are able to make it 3 times a week should be able to do that in 5 to 6 years
It's the teachers that are bad not the students. Took me only 7 and that was with 1.5 years off from covid lockdowns

The best decision right away was recognizing these morons have no idea what they're talking about, and the idea of being good at jiujitsu makes you qualified to be a jiujitsu teacher is the same as saying I passed 4th grade therefore I'm qualified to be an elementary school teacher

A couple of months in and I'm struggling in these situations. Any good athletes to take a look at who do more fundamental slower approach? I guess I'll have to look more in Gi competitions
>I get into Mount, opponent just cross his arms so I can't get the neck nor an arm. I could muscle two of my arms to one of his arms but he'll either sweep or control my arm once I go in. I have no idea what the fuck to do here. I only really know Ezekial/Arm Triangle/Americano
>Starting from sitting, I have no idea what the fuck to do. If I grab an arm and their neck they'll kick and sweep me from there. if we're in standing, I either get takedowned and get into someone's mount which fine I know how to escape or I take them down and I either mount (good but run into the first point) or enter their guard. (bad for me, I have no idea how to escape). I just feel like I have more control on what's going to happen while standing but sitting I blink and I'm in a more dangerous mount position.
>How the fuck do I get out of someone's guard? When I try to standup, they trip me with their hands, when they stand up they're already up before I can grab their ankle.

Anon you can't monetize a class if you tell every newbie to spend 6 months working on pins and control, you need to sprinkle some techniques in there.

>>77384339
BJJ sometimes is overrated, its not necessarily the most effective style there is, but comments like this are almost always made by retards that never got in a fight in their lives.

It does work, sitting or standing up. The idea you can get on top of them and stomp to death is silly, you can find dojo storm videos all the way from the 90s when everybody tried and failed to do exactly that.

I will say, from a guy that did pretty much every main martial art there is, BJJ exceeds the most on bad situations, when you are already losing for whatever reason, it gives a lot of tools to reverse yourself from bad situations, while most other MA styles answer would be "dont get in that situation to begin with".
>>
>>77384657
Typically you would attempt a submission to bait them into giving you an opening
Cross collar choke or Ezekiel, then as soon as they go to defend then control an arm for armbar or americana or finish the choke
Don't get swept so bail on attacks If they start bridging or framing on your hip
Also scoot your legs up to their armpits when they give you room while defending your attacks
If its gi then lapel chokes are fun from there
Another thing you can do is, once your have an arm either turn them on their side and go to triple threat, realistically they should be on their side to escape most times anyway if they aren't them you punish them with pressure
They wanna lay flat with arms crossed? Grapevine they asses and let them cook with as much pressure as you can manage
And that's just basic white/blue belt shit

Bjj is the only thing that will help you if some big mental idiot decides to sucker tackle/choke you from behind/ you get dragged to the floor or you have to restrain someone until police arrive.

Unless you get lucky with a 1 punch ko then you'll need bjj to survive against someone bigger or stronger or more mental

I'll try it next time. I think my biggest problem is I'm freezing up when going into mount. My literal go-to was Mother's Milk but then a higher belt smacked me upside my head and told me it was a dirty submission (although I'm sorta like...all submissions are kinda dirty). Wrangling their arms when they're tight as fuck is hard. My first club was more of MMA style so they would ground and pound to open people up but you can't really do that in BJJ so my brain just goes HURRRDURR CROSSFACE (okay what now dumbass)
>>
BIG HELP HELP HELP. I have two tournaments coming up in september and I have only like 3 months of experience. I'm still getting ragdolled around in all my rolls (the good news is I think I can last the full round without ever getting submitted to at least 2/3rds of my class so at least my defense is getting better...).

Is there any good supplementary training I can do at home or after training? A mobility program is probably a good one. I already strength train (3x a week) and run (3x a week), BJJ is at 6x. (usually 1 hour - 2:30 hours). I usually deload every 6 weeks and put bjj at 4x a week while running and training is significantly reduced (still keep the same tempo but much less volume). I wouldn't say I've "burnt out" (I know how it feels) but most of my BJJ especially with the damn heat I can't seem to muscle or exert much power. (which can be a good thing I guess? I have to resort to a lot of technique which I'm not really good at yet) It's starting to get really noticeable as I don't think I've submitted a single person this whole week unless for a few where I had a big weight difference. Fuck even someone's first class they were able to submit me (in my defense I wasn't expecting a full on fucking imanari roll, I still don't believe that's his first class)

You will burn more calories than you ever have in your life. About 800-1200 per hour of rolling and you won't even notice the time pass.

13 year old me in 1991(in Brazil) was invited to train what was simply called Jiu-jitsu or Gracie Jiu-jitsu in a club founded by early BJJ weirdos. I said no thanks and stayed at my judo school. Looking back, it was the right call, BJJ culture is simply bizarre.

I personally think if you can pull off a good smother then its mildly impressive
Just don't do it every single round, or do fuck those uppity niggers
bjj people get some weird ideas about what is acceptable sometimes and try to enforce it on others
Perfect example of someone who has a bad attitude and you shouldn't bother rolling with
That said there's plenty of variety in mount attacks, part of the fun is trying new things and seeing what works for you
perfect question for a class when they are teaching mount based stuff
"So coach, what's your favorite submission from mount?"
As a newish white belt, i would focus more on escapes and pins until you are never in a position you don't immediately know a couple ways to get out of but maybe thats just me

I do kinda get it, you do want something clean vs just SMOSH UR FACE IN. Although he was comparing MM with a RNC and how MM is just not cool I'm like....yeah I don't really wanna be locked into either of them LOL One of the higher belts thought me the punch choke too but a lot of people went like WTF man so I stopped using it. Call me a bit ego or prideful but I always see the higher belts use me as practicing their escapes so they purposely give me the position but I just want something where I can go haha, you underestimated me.

But ironically I did do MM like a lot. Like almost yeah every round since I had no fucking idea what else I could go for and with their tight ass arms I couldn't really mobilize them...

Don't get me wrong, people tend to go harder than they need to at first to prove they are good, so that's possibly what you are seeing from the occasional sour upper belt
That's why Carlson Gracie schools are the best, smeshing people and old school pressure is part of the style
It's the 120lb string beans that are like "Well dude, a-aaaaaacksually that was a dirty move and also more of a neck crank so you should work on your technique some more"
stfu nigger, tap if you dont like it
It's them preserving their ego 100%
Ignore this type of bullshit
Training is a learning experience, so learn, be a good training partner, avoid actually injuring other people and work moves more than trying to simply "win"
If that involves an occasional smother so be it, I dont know anyone that got their shoulder or knee torn apart by a smother
BJJ is a social sport but for autists so keep in mind whoever you are rolling with is probably horrible at interacting with people before you even get into the ego saving, dirty move declaring, strength shaming side that people introduce into it
This is why the lads make or break the gym


TLDR bjj is gay

I'm struggling in my trainings now. I feel like I'm way too tired to do any explosive or actual grappling moves which is fine or whatever so I can focus on technique (but I'm a beginner so like what technique lol). But I feel like I'm wasting my opponents time since most of the time I'm a deadlay or an easy target. I can only really overpower people with a huge weight difference which feels bad for me. I don't know if I should dial back my other cross training but at the same time I don't really feel like cutting it out will bring my explosiveness back... It's just really starting to get hard to roll with people since I'll try some techniques out but they're so fucking heavy and stiff it's hard to get a takedown or a sub which fine that's fair but damn got no energy to straight out muscle them out.

Bjj takes pride in being able to fight from the bottom position but the only reason you should be able to fight from there is to get up, going for leg locks or whatever meme shit bjj does only works when there's no strikes allowed, when gnp is added to the mix you can't stay on the bottom for long.
Another thing is because everyone wants to fight from the bottom guard their top control is underdeveloped and as a result their defense against top control is underdeveloped which means their bottom guard is not as effective as they think, once someone puts weight on them they are helpless.

Bjj also takes the meme route of not doing any significant strength training thinking time on the mat is more important which makes them extremely weak.

Their stand up wrestling is a joke, they have no idea how to grip to take someone down and if someone does a takedown or a throw they just let themselves be thrown for the sake of entering groundwork and that's if they don't immediately pull guard.

Every form of grappling can be loosely categorized as rollers, flippers and fatsos, rollers are the stereotypical bjjfag, lots of butt scooting, rolling on their shoulders, leg entanglement and scrambles, the flipplers are the ones that use bodylocks and sweeps while on the ground to flip you over and go from bottom to top control or back control and the fatsos are the top control heavy pressure.
Rollers are the weakest because to do all that they need space while flippers and fatsos eliminate all space.
Judo is specialized on flipping and removes the weight of top control over you while on top they use heavy top control to pin.
Wrestling, greco, freestyle, college, folk, catch or sambo are all about top control but rarely can take someone off them.
Bjj is all about rolling and rarely can get someone off them if they have decent top control.

There's no benefit from doing bjj over doing any other form of grappling.

Funny isn't it? You're paying someone good money to learn a skill and feel the frustration of basically being on your own and needing to go online for support
Even if you asked you'd get some useless platitude like "ayee just keep showing up my fren" "pressure makes diamonds" "drillers make killers" of course none of these things are true

It's the typical BJJ experience. Really think about this, the instructor is a broke ass jiujitsu instructor because he isn't smart or competent enough to do literally anything else. An entry level minimum wage job probably pays better than what he's doing.
His only barely monetizable skill is rolling around on the ground in pajamas

He's not qualified to teach a he has no coaching credentials, he hasn't read the literature he's just some jackoff that brute forced his way to ability because he had nothing else going on in his life. And in the grand scheme of things he's probably not even particularly good at that, sure he's better than the general population at something, but think of the number of jiujitsu schools there are around at the world none of the instructors would even be able to qualify for the most low level professional competition
So even among his peers he's a nobody which is why he's teaching instead of making money off of instructionals, seminars, and competitions


Tl;dr you're on your own and the sooner you realize that the better you'll be

Watch film
Talk to your coach about a game plan - you want to know what you’re doing in the first second of the match or you’ll freeze up
Have an escape or two from every position
Eat well
Visualize

After all that, do sitouts and “shadow rolling” at home

Kek this.
I've been doing mma for half a decade now and I learned when it comes to grappling all you need is the triangle, guillotine, RNC, armbar, leg locks, and kimura, and their variants.
>"Bu-but what about the omoplata gogoplata pizzalata?!"
Things need to be a lot simpler when you need to worry about punches on the ground. Shit like figure four leg locks, omoplata and other shit where you spend more time losing control on the opponent to set up something a simpler sub can do faster is aikido tier.
But I guess when both "fighters" start sitting down, legs crossed, striking is forbidden, and tampons on, you have the luxury of all the complex set up to just do a kimura.

Saying you can fight with only bjj is like saying you can build a bridge as a mathematician because engineers use math.

its fun, like most combat sports its quite important you find a good gym, mine is primarily BJJ but we do a lot of mma sessions that also include standup and wrestling and shit.

Lol any boxer without preliminary mma or wrestling training would get taken down and given more CTE than all his dumb sparring sessions combined.

There's like 5 cases of people dying from a broken neck on a BJJ class, it can happen I guess but you are probably more likely of getting run over on your way to your class.

Don't do the gi and don't let anyone gaslite you into doing the gi, it's A common injury for you to get an arterial dissection in your neck from it because of those collar chokes. Turns into a clot which shoots into your brain and then you have a stroke

It took a while for people to put it together that this is happening because the stroke doesn't happen right away, it could happen weeks or months later when you're just walking around

How the fuck do you have someone in spider-gaurd and not knock them down the moment they reach?
You just push up with your legs and they fall down and you can take mount.

Martial arts are sports not combat training. Maybe they help, but at the end of the day you aren't allowed to kick the other guy in the balls or bite his ear off.

If bjj was effective then a fight wouldn't be called off because of his inability to stand
All the bjj was still available for him to use, but they know you can't actually win with just that so it was a forgone conclusion

I trained it for a year or so. My goal was just to get competent enough to be able to deal with untrained people if I ever need to. Did the same thing with boxing though I still do that once every week or so.

I'm 6'2'' and the first day I was there I got absolutely ragdolled by a megamanlet that wasn't even trying (obviously since they know I dont know shit). If you're untrained and on the ground with someone competent you're just fucked.

Anyways it's a very useful tool but theres a sort of synergy with striking and grappling that a lot of people refuse to think about cause they're tribal retards. I think 3-6 months of training each is sufficient for self defense.

I didn't really like training BJJ though. The culture is kinda weird, it's expensive, even if you get a good gym (which isn't that easy) the injury risk is higher than you'd want etc. Also it just feels pretty fucking gay to roll with dudes but it's way more uncomfortable to roll with women for obvious reasons.

I've told you what you need to do and graciously explained the science behind motor learning and skill acquisition and just get called an autist

There is no magic bullet, you need to do focused live work 100% of the time
Sports are not a cognitive process they're reflexive
"Repping" is fake
"Muscle memory" is fake
"Drilling" is fake
There's no such thing a "proper technique"

I don't feel gay I think it's fun. How lame do you have to be not enjoying wrestling the first and most primal sport

Pretty sure in real life you could easily just throw a trash can at his head and solve that issue of a guy on the ground trying to bait you into a grapple

Pretty sure in real life he will just grab you, drag you to the floor and break your neck

Or ko you with one leg kick

BJJ and JUDO are both McDojo tier
kikemaga is also McDojo tier

Pretty sure in real life he would just kick your knee because he has better distance management or literally take the blow because he's conditioned to taking hits and then destroy you

God if 4chan collectively stepped into the average Judo gym you'd all stop saying this shit about the sport. You'd get so fucking mad about having to do the proper bows, remember the names of moves, getting insurance from a regional branch of an international group, calling someone with a glorified bachelor's degree sensei, and some fat 40 year old woman critique your manners. You'd only get a proper round on comp class day and even then only a couple.

Then you go to BJJ, show up 10 minutes late, call the professor a slur (he laughs), and laugh with your bros. You thrash them around for the second half of class and do stand up rounds afterwards.

The romantic image of Judo is so much better than the practical reality of doing it.
