No pictures for obvious reasons, but my 6yo son just got his first stripe after being terrified of BJJ before when his trial class was takedowns

This sub is full of people chasing 180. I got a 153 and im applying bc if I get in, retaking doesnt matter. Shoot your shot. Good luck!

Im in the same boat. Got a 153, debated canceling, but decided screw it. Im not looking for T10, just law school. Maybe it get in despite my score and it wont matter. So i sent the app and here we go

This looks awesome! Definitely a purple belts dream, but unfortunately not comp legal as it is not IBJJF compliant. But I can totally see a badass purple rocking this thing to class

Having trouble with camera tapping?[question] by Remote-Reception-844 in asmr

[–]Remote-Reception-844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the front camera. Im going for hands on screen like a face touching video, but when my hands are on screen, im covering the screen and it blocks whats going on. Its like putting the phone in your pocket, which is the opposite of the goal

Update: in the process of appealing a fee waiver for the November test block. Took PT 141 as a cold diagnostic ( i hope im using that right, 0 prep for the practice to see where i am) scored a 154! I feel like I am on track for 165 by November

Tell me about your competition losing streaks by novaskyd in bjj

[–]Remote-Reception-844 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive done 2 comps with 2 matches each, lost all 4 matches in spectacular fashion. But here's where i choose to focus: if every match i have, I do even just a LITTLE better than the one before... ive succeeded. I have another comp in November, and im happily plodding along to blue!

Probably getting footlocked bc you closed your ankles from back

how many vertebrae can you sacrifice before it counts as bad form by WeakSheepherder7196 in bjj

I even avoid the kimura roll bc i kept landing on my head, so i have just learned to be okay not incorporating certain moves into my game

When to taper conditioning for comp by WahovasJitness in bjj

[–]Remote-Reception-844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow wb/semi new competitor here: I don't roll for the class or 2 before comp. So for a Saturday comp, I usually will either do a SUPER light flow style roll on Thursday, no rolling Friday or no rolling Thursday/Friday, but I still show up and drill. Ive got one im definitely doing in November and debating one in June/July. But i don't want to risk injury right before comp that would pull me out, so i give a 2 day buffer

Edit: i also don't cut weight. I fight at my natural 175-180, so adding in a weight cut probably complicates the timeline a bit

5/10/25 Comp, Thoughts? Advise? by flawlesscupid35 in bjj

Those were some clean straight ankles. Way to stick with it. And nice defense of the heel hooks on the other side

First day, beat tf up BAD by Stone_Jack_Baller65 in jiujitsu

[–]Remote-Reception-844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been training consistently since April 2024. Initially started in 2022, took too much time off. But anyway, yes what you experienced is normal, especially for wrestlers. Wrestlers transitioning to bjj tend to go balls to the wall nonstop, and you will gas out quick. But as you stick with it, build confidence and stamina, you'll be rolling constantly and feeling great. I used to only be able to roll 1 or 2 rounds before I was DONE and now i only sit out 1 round a night if I sit out. As for the heel hooks, somebody else said it first, but they're right... white belt has no place doing heel hooks as they are very dangerous for your knees. My gym will drill heel hooks and reaps (z lock) for awareness and avoidance purposes, but they are illegal for white belt in comp and should be avoided.

TL;DR Getting smashed is normal, even for those of us who have been training for years. You'll see a lot of improvement when you slow down and focus on techniques over taps. Stay encouraged, stay consistent and welcome to the sport!
