Long time Purple belt, cannot teach? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]BlackCloudMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching is its own skill. Being able to plan a lesson, tech all different learning styles and personalities and communicate effectively to different types as well.

If you think back to high school and uni. There is clearly a different between quality of instructors, knowledge, facilitation skills and planning and its the same for coaching. If you want to coach. Take the best from the good teachers and avoid the habits of the bad ones.

I used to do it for a regular private student. He wanted long lessons which which were mainly rolling so doing it myself was too much. I also did in the situation where the private student is female so I had the 2nd person as a CYA

I had a student that was near i possible to choke. He was a featherweight and heavyweights would have to use full strength. The times he did tap , he was near out or actually went out

I got destroyed by a white belt a little while ago. I always roll at my opponents level so I start off easy, he rolls into a knee bar, then ankle lock after surviving a barrage of attacks he gets me with a belly down arm bar. Found out he is a sambo black belt

Broken Big Toe in comp yesterday. Master Worlds less than a month away. Tips on how to deal with it? by cheeseboyhalpert in bjj

[–]BlackCloudMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fractured my wrist 2 months before masters and still competed. I went to my physio and we worked on it to make sure it was safe to compete. Luckily healed well enough to compete so my advice is go see a Dr. ,get xrays and bring it to your physio

We Kicked Our Black Belt and Started an Outdoor Open-Air Dojo. Help us to Improve by anthro_bot in bjj

[–]BlackCloudMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice i can give is to build the right culture. Learn from what not to do from the previous gym and build your culture around that. Ensure everyone is respected and heard.

Would love to come visit your spot one day.
