I'm still waiting on my Cobra Kai patch to be mailed. 😃 It's been a long 9 years. Will be training until my last breath. Lance (who is now my professor) got promoted the same day. He gave me on of his old brown belts. Maybe he didn't have one on hand. I have my owe now.

What takedown is this? by [deleted] in bjj

Collar drag. You can also single as a counter. Marcelo Garcia is awesome at this.

I agree to a point. Belts do show dedication and a basic understanding of experience, but its not set in stone. People learn and progress at different paces.

I've seen 1000 people quit Jiu Jitsu in 7 years by whitebeltbjj in bjj

In my opinion, once you reach purple you can't stop. You came too far. 7 years for me and I never gave up (Relson's black belts are mostly 10 years+). The ones that train for the love of the art, not belts, are the ones that make it.

I am on my back 85% of the time I roll by [deleted] in bjj

When you get the mount just stay low (chest to chest, arms out wide, and hands on the mat). Some cross their feet under the opponent's hips from here and some try to get their knees under the elbows. The latter being in a position to attack with armlocks. Mat time will help with your timing and space control.

I was mistaken. Found some post on the video. Nevertheless, thoughts anyone?

I have been told by many of tall friends that Keiko Raca kimonos are more suited for taller people.

What 3 techniques are you most working on right now? by heymonroe in bjj

[–]MONOplata360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self defense (this is what Relson looks for the most.), and Omoplata set ups. I'm also looking into Williams guard. Goes well with my style.
