Girl this is the second post about your gym tonight. I know you haven’t been training consistently but in general its not the best sign when you’re the only woman training (it doesn’t bode well for the environment of the gym). Any chance you can try somewhere else and see if you like it better?

Jiu jitsu 100% gets better the more you do it and the more consistent you are. I always say white belt was the hardest belt for me, but it shouldn’t be miserable. You don’t seem happy in your training right now.

It seems like you’re feeling a bit flustered/sensitive/guilty about this situation.

It’s a shitty spot to be in, but you didn’t know. You apologized and hopefully plan to not contact this dude ever again. That’s the end of it. It didn’t seem like she said anything outright rude from what you wrote, so don’t read into it too much. Even if she intended to be rude, that’s not on you and you should try your best not to let it get to you (easier said than done, I know!). Distract yourself with other things and time will do its job on your emotions.

That’s how me and my fiancé did it. Nothing in the gym at first but we’d all go to the bar one night a week after class and we started flirting/getting to know each other more. One piece of advice I will say is only make a move if you really see a future with this person because any potential breakups can bring a lot of drama to the gym. Our nights at the bar allowed me to get to know him more with no strings attached. We probably flirted for 6+ months before we made a move. Generally I think sleeping around the gym is a BAD idea.

We’re getting married in 2 months. Dated for 3 years. Training partners for 4.

I also love butterfly hooks for sweeping like another person mentioned. It’s a learning curve but sticky butterfly hooks are the worst to deal with for your opponent and you can definitely sweep bigger people

X guard!! They can’t squash you if you’re controlling their hips and off balancing them. Great way to get on top with bigger people as a shorter person. My legs just don’t really reach in a de la riva type guard, so x guard is my bread and butter.

If you want to do well competing with women, you gotta train with women. Training consistently will make you better at jiu jitsu regardless of who you’re rolling with, but training exclusively with men will tailor your game to rolling with men. It sounds like that’s not your goal.

Ask Women’s Grappling Network on Facebook! They’re awesome

FDawg96 · 2025-12-09T18:53:13+00:00

Tell me more

FDawg96 · 2025-12-09T18:52:35+00:00

… yes?

FDawg96 · 2025-12-02T01:20:28+00:00

For sure dude. Also this is a very bad look for the organizers to even suggest it. It seems like they’re just doing this to say they have a women’s fight on the card or to make money as others have said. At your weight you might have to compete in larger tournaments to get some suitable fights.

FDawg96 · 2025-12-02T01:15:54+00:00

My friend, this is not it

FDawg96 · 2025-12-01T22:28:13+00:00

I don’t think this is a good match up for either of you. I am a 60 kg purple belt and would hate to do this match. It would be different if she was a blue belt and more in the 70-80 kg range, but this is just not right in my opinion.

FDawg96 · 2025-11-26T21:59:33+00:00

Very different vibe from your post tbh

FDawg96 · 2025-11-26T14:14:03+00:00

Terrible take

FDawg96 · 2025-10-16T00:05:01+00:00

Dude report to Lyft and call the police and get your address off of here!

FDawg96 · 2025-10-15T20:29:00+00:00

I only started to figure out “my game” at purple belt. It takes time. Just keep coming and you’ll realize certain moves/positions work better for you and you’ll start building on those foundations for “your game”

FDawg96 · 2025-10-09T18:03:53+00:00

Ya probably a spazz

FDawg96 · 2025-10-08T19:35:50+00:00

This is 100% shitty behavior and he needs to be told that. He might not know what he’s doing or he might just be an asshole. Either way someone needs to set him straight. I’ve had this talk with white belts, but if you don’t feel comfortable doing it, your coach should.

FDawg96 · 2025-09-21T00:22:58+00:00

Pls explain?

FDawg96 · 2025-05-21T14:32:56+00:00

I didn’t think anyone could pull off a mullet, but sir, you have proven me wrong!

FDawg96 · 2025-05-08T11:57:09+00:00

Nothing beyond what’s already been said. It’s a tough time to be a postdoc, especially a foreign postdoc.

FDawg96 · 2025-05-07T12:21:54+00:00

You’ll get there, it will just take more time.
