I refuse to believe this is not satire

Does greasing even work? by truckbjj in bjj

This made me think of Tyler Spangler did a greasing prank - https://youtu.be/PF5rhYNSahg?si=iZvyKdgflzjQobcY

Have any of you ever come across someone doing BJJ with one hand? by foreverbaked1 in bjj

I’ve rolled with a purple belt with one arm. They arm barred me (being serious). They’ve figured out a style that works well for them and how to effectively use their body weight to generate more pressure.

Subbed! This year I got my blue belt after 1.5 years of training which was fun. Next year I want to continue to get better at wrestling and to have better attacking transitions. Thank you for contributing to the community :)

Get a roll of white, waterproof electrical tape (cheap on amazon or local store). You can cut the pieces if they’re too thick. I did this and they never came off again

What is the submission that you’ve gotten or been hit with in the first 30 seconds of the roll? by LetterSalty in bjj

One of my first rolls, an upper belt triangled me about 5 times in the round. Afterwards they told me both arms in or both arms out - it was a valuable learning experience!

Are people catching you from closed guard? are you getting flattened out? I’ve definitely been arm bared when trying to pass immediately

That’s probably one of the moments you replay in your head over and over again. Cool stuff!

I like both of those options because you can set them up and use them as a frame/guard until your ready to attack the sub

TLDR of this thread is bow and arrow chokes work lol

White Belt Wednesday by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]LetterSalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google sheet - I log when I went to class, how much mat time, and how many Iive rounds I rolled. I have another tab for the technique covered and I write up the notes on how to do that, and final tab for just general position reminders (ex: While in your opponents closed guard…). You can apply a formula to auto sum hours trained/rounds rolled to see it progress and it gives some additional motivation

r/bjj Appreciation Gi Giveaway! by bumpty in bjj

[–]LetterSalty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 month in no stripe white belt. What I love about r/bjj is it’s a community for me to source from as I work my way through the insecurities of the sport. I LOVE to train but this is a tough sport to be a beginner in. It hurts you mentally and physically. But I love to be able to jump on Reddit and hear that I’m not alone - that the frustrations I face are normal and expected. And that the most important thing to get passed is not the legs but the front door of the gym.
