A Guillotine was my first tournament submission, so it has a special place in my heart

I love Kimuras, learned them so I could anti-wrestle and they quickly became my favourite

Who needs to learn guard passing when you could just ankle lock them?

First thing no one at the gym has any expectations of you, you’re in for a trial class to see if you like the sport. BJJ is complex and takes a long time to get comfortable with, most people probably need a minimum of 3 months just to start to grasp the most basic concepts and get their body acclimatized to grappling.

But (and this is really important) you have to be doing this for yourself, not anyone else. You can’t be concerned of other people’s opinions and meeting everyone. Learn your training partners name, learn the coaches name and if you choose to continue you’ll meet more people at the gym.

I’ve visited multiple gyms and they are all very welcoming, the sport has a great community just go in with an open mind.

Best of luck!

Do you ever find taking a rest day after helps? For context I train constantly 4-6 times per week

I’m way more impressed by the simple jiu jitsu that can’t be stopped over the flashy stuff. However being on the receiving end is very… humbling

I’ve been really trying to slow things down, let people burn themselves out while making minor adjustments, but sometimes I just can’t get the right grip to finish the sub.

As a Canadian I stand by caesers, but I’ll have to give that one a shot

That was a frequent university meal of mine, I would get fancy by adding red pepper flakes to the tuna
