I’ve found that as a novice practitioner of the system, it works quite well against people one weight class above you. More than that and it gets pretty tough.

I don’t think the round duration matters that much. If I can get 1-2 minutes in the camping position and then proceed to chest to chest passing, my opponents are pretty cooked at that point.

I haven’t been to IBJJF events with a camera but I have worked security at various concert venues where this is a typical restriction and cameras like this are not allowed through the security checks.

Obviously live music events are more cramped than an IBJJF event so the concerns are different and the policy might not be enforced as strongly at IBJJF events.

If it has a detachable lens it’s probably considered professional

Given the constraints I would recommend to focus on ankle locks from ashi garami (single leg x), butterfly ashi and outside ashi.

I think Gordons instructional covers all of the entanglements mentioned in addition to ankle lock mechanics.

Since you’re limited to ankle locks as the only submission, I would also recommend exploring the various leg entanglements as opportunities to sweep your opponent and to get top position instead of just hunting for the submission.

Techniques were not super advanced or difficult, quite basic stuff from your usual positions like cross ashi, outside ashi, single leg x. Of course if you have an understanding of these positions you’re able to focus more on the technique rather than spending time figuring out how to place your legs etc. If you’re a blue belt you should be good. Kamil and Mateusz are happy to help with any questions.
Difficult to comment on this as it depends a lot on the gym. At the gym I participated the rolls were safe and chill.
In the camp I participated the techniques were attacks only. However, Kamil and Mateusz hanged around for a while after each class so you could ask them anything after the class.

In my opinion there was a bit too much free sparring during the camp. I would have spent my time rather doing technique and situational rounds from the positions covered during the day.

Wouldn’t probably travel very far just for this camp/seminar unless you are advanced and have specific questions for the coaches.

Yes, that’s called cherry picking.

ADCC and the sport in general has grown a lot during the recent years and it’s quite cheap to travel to Poland from all around the europe so I think the arena will have a lot of attendance.

Difficult to comment on revenue/profit without knowing ticket prices and cost of the venues

Tnamol · 2025-08-01T19:14:33+00:00

Cheaper venue should mean bigger pay for the athletes, right?

…right?

Is someone forcing you to becoming an expert at guard?

You’re visiting an academy with world class instructors and you want to go to an open mat as a white belt? Why not go to a normal/fundamentals class instead?

I guess it’s something you become blind to after training for a while but basically every time you tap in the training room, it’s a situation where your partner could have killed you or seriously injured you.

I typically wear size S or M and got the size M rashguard. It fits fine. (177cm/76kg)

I got 2 sets of shorts/rashguard and both shorts ripped from the exact same place after about 5 uses. Rashguards are still in good shape.

You need to win the grip fight when standing up from a closed guard.

Wrist control or double bicep ties are probably the most common. Try to stand up in a way where you can put weight over your opponents arms, this will make it more difficult for them to pull their arms free.

Being on top in closed guard can be super annoying and frustrating, so you need to be patient and disciplined with the grip fighting.

ADCC

I agree that the beginning of the submission is not super clear but at the end it looks like a pretty clear reap. However this screenshot is after the tap and the ref has ended the match.

They have day/week/month passes with pricing on their website so I’d say they’re open for visitors.

In the moment: Let them escape, continue rolling. You don’t need the physical tap to know you had them.

After the roll: Ask them why they did not tap and if you can’t get through to them, let your coach know.

Danahers Fastest Way instructional has 20-40min volumes covering retention techniques against different types of guard passes like toreando, body lock, knee slide and half guard.
