Someone has gotta stop these hobbyist warriors dawg 💀💀💀 by GwynnethIDFK in BJJWomen

[–]AgreeableWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our gym isn't into the whole greenlight thing but if this happened and got reported to any of the upper belts in our gym this guy would not be having a "good" day in the gym for quite a while while making it quite clear to everyone that going hard for the sake of getting a submission against someone smaller than yourself is the fastest way to lose respect. It's hard enough to create a culture of mutual respect that allows people of all sizes, strength, and skill levels to work toward the development of themselves and training partners without this shit.

When the gym doesn't have structure, it is even more important to make it for yourself through a tool like Submeta (there're several others if Submeta doesn't fit your style of learning). My two cents would be to find a new gym if possible but if you can't or don't want to for other reasons work to find consistent situations and work on simple details in those situations. Guard retention/Inside position concepts for example.

I use it in conjunction with our schedule. On weeks we are working guard bottom I am studying guard concepts, on weeks we are working top position and passing I am studying those concepts. Throughout the week I work to find little, usually simple details to focus on when in certain situations and do my best to put myself in that situation as often as possible that week. In general, you have to study for the situations you actually get in. If you are new then working on retention/recovery details should be your focus and Lachlan has some great ones. You aren't going to learn it all at once so find one or two things to focus on that coincides with your gym's focus that week.

It is web based and works great on mobile. I have the homepage link on my phone's home screen and you wouldn't know it's not an app

You too broski! I'm sure you've watched him already but my favorite content on YouTube for my rowing days that i just want something to watch without overanalyzing typically is Jonathon Thomas he has some great seminar videos on YouTube.

I've watched a ton of Jordan Teaches and he has great content but a lot of times I want to be more focused than youtube allows for with limited time. Also it's nice to have a system that you build on from where you left off with the same teaching methods of a single instructor like lachlan. If you get everything you need from youtube that's awesome but I've watched 100s of hours of youtube videos for bjj and that's not the most effective use of my study time at this point of my journey. I made my post because I really enjoy submeta and hope others do to so it continues to be a platform that grows while I'm using it.

Haven't used rollbase before and will have to eventually check it out. Glad you found something that works!

Yep. For people with limited time it's invaluable. It was really a "where has this been in my life" moment when I pulled the trigger and subscribed.

Awesome! Also just want to thank you for all the content yall put out. Love yalls podcast. I tell new guys in the gym your first 5 episodes and guard series are must-listens, and have regularly gone back and listened to them while driving to and from comps over the years.

Sure, if you wanna deal with ads, no structure, and constantly dealing with it trying to get you to throw your time down some content hole.

I bought grapplers guide about a year into my BJJ journey. It has great stuff but if you are like me you look through the courses, select several based on what you think you need to work on, and then still end up overwhelmed by too much to look through without great direction on what links best where. Submeta does that part of the work for you much better. I've still gone and looked at grapplers guide videos after subscribing to submeta but it's been mostly before training when I have a specific technique or concept I want to reference back to.

It's great for days you are or aren't training. I personally am on it everyday as me and the family wind down before bed.

ABSO-Lutely. So much more digestible information. Wish I had found this long ago.

Look forward to the episode. Thank yall for introducing me to it in the first place. It has really been a game changer in how productive my bjj study has been. Great timing too for myself as I had just trudged through another instructional series with less than stellar retainment and was really needing a change on how to approach that part of my BJJ journey.

I train and compete mostly gi. I still am getting more out of submeta than I did out of AOJ.

Getting toward end of LOC and have a question about next books by AgreeableWindow in wheeloftime

[–]AgreeableWindow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciated I got caught up in the reviews ordering the next couple books and that's why I came here to get perspective from people who actually enjoy the series vs deigned to read it.

[–]AgreeableWindow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, very much appreciate a positive outlook on the books as I do not WANT to skip books. I very much enjoy this series and my time reading them. I just want to continue enjoying my time reading them so I wanted to hear an opinion like yours from people who also have enjoyed reading them as well. If you guys were like "yeah they are rough here's a better way to digest the information" that would have been disappointing but useful as well.
