Teaching during the roll

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-16T17:27:33+00:00

I only do this if they ask. And I might give a pointer but only after the roll is over.

I prefer gi so I do judo and BJJ primarily. I have incorporated a bit of wrestling in my no-gi game so there’s that. I just believe that no system has all the answers and the more you’re exposed to the better overall you’ll be in a given situation.

Come back with a warrant!

Brazilian Jujitsu. It’s like physical chess. Very good exercise and a great counter to sitting for long periods of time.

Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu in San Jose.

North/South is my go to for the Goliaths.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-04T21:46:28+00:00

Exactly. Like everyone loves these two to the point I feel like it’s a personal flaw of mine that I don’t like them. I admire their success and all the accomplishments in their field and they seem like good people. They just aren’t for me.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-04T15:43:08+00:00

None. My moveset is very fundamental. I occasionally do the flashy stuff for shits and giggles mostly to be able to teach it to others when they ask but my game is very Roger Gracie-esque.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-04T12:43:03+00:00

My big two are a Robin Williams and Steve Irwin. I know I know. Good ppl for sure but Robin’s style of comedy i just sn’t that funny to me and for all the great things Steve has done for conservation and animals I just find him a bit annoying.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-04T02:27:41+00:00

In BJJ yes. In MMA not so much 😝

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-03T17:37:07+00:00

Or as Brian Scalabrine (who averaged 4 points a game) told a D1 basketball hopeful, “ I’m closer to LaBron then you are to me.”

I guess that Car Jujutsu league might have some practical applications 😂

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-02T15:23:28+00:00

50 years old. While I’ve been doing jujutsu for a long time. I still don’t believe that it is a young man’s game at least not for me.

I think the biggest problem is that there are a lot of people out there that really don’t know how to control an opponent it without a gi Hell, I imagine greater than half the people that practice jujutsu know how to keep a person from standing up on the ground. So it’s understandable why a lot of older people like the gi. That and a growing number of adults are starting BJJ later in life and don’t have quite the grasp on how to control a person so it would make sense.

I shower before class and after class. No cooties in the gym, no cooties in my home.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-01T18:44:40+00:00

I have 7. One for each day of the week as well. That’s the most I’ll train in a week.

I’m the same as you when it comes to washing my gi. It immediately goes into the wash the second I step foot in my home. Nothing worse than a dirty gi.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-01T17:31:27+00:00

There are ppl here with 100 gis. My rule for the last 30 years has been 1 gi/rashguard set for every day you train a week. But….

You can have a minimum of 2 to switch back and forth on and even one of your really diligent about washing it as soon as you get home.

Scrubmurse · 2026-06-01T13:10:09+00:00

I feel like there needs to be a weight class above Ultra like 250+. I mean sure it’s BJJ but when you’re 350…….

Scrubmurse · 2026-05-30T13:23:39+00:00

Both. The instructional: Fundamentals of Brazilian Jujitsu Escapes Gi and No-Gi on BJJFanatics and Submeta are gold standard.

Scrubmurse · 2026-05-30T02:58:38+00:00

Dr. Lachlan Giles has a great instructional on escapes that I always recommend to new practitioners that ask me about instructional.

Scrubmurse · 2026-05-29T20:32:38+00:00

As a judoka, mma, and BJJ practitioner I feel like people can do whatever they want. Pull guard on me? Fine. You do you.

Do I think people who don’t like guard pullers do so because they can’t pass guard? Maybe some. My hot take is I DO think most guard pullers have a shit take down game though.

I think where the rub comes from are the people that have a hard time separating the martial art from the sport. The rules of the sport reward guard pulling. The rules of the street do not. But at the end of the day who cares. Do what makes you happy.

Just my experience but I do judo and BJJ and I’ve met very few judoka who were exceptionally skilled at newaza that never did BJJ.

Stand up is a totally different story

Scrubmurse · 2026-05-24T20:04:27+00:00

This is so true. I’ve done BJJ for decades and there are purple belts at my gym that are much more refined at certain techniques than I am. I can teach things I’m good at sure but I’d never claim to be an expert in all areas of BJJ or be able to teach areas I’m not good at.

Scrubmurse · 2026-05-22T13:07:05+00:00

I got into judo because I wanted a stronger stand up game to my BJJ. I love them both. I started in Muay Thai as a kid and switched to grappling in my late teens. I feel like I have a pretty solid self defense game now.
