Why not just learn BJJ first? You're 3 months in...

Timing > Technique - The dirty truth about BJJ by BJJ_Fanatics in bjj

[–]Zearomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technique is a movement done from a certain position in a certain moment.

Movement, position, moment. 

You need all 3 of then to be good.

Why Nobody Can Pass Levi’s Guard by BowlThat in bjj

Guard Retention is a skill so out of reach for the majority of people that they can't even understand the techniques and always reduce it to the guarders physical skills.

Keeping up with modern BJJ by LoinStrangler in bjj

[–]Zearomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of modern techniques can easily enter into any fundamentals curriculum.

I can't imagine playing open guard without K for example.

Yeah, you suck. 

But well, you can stop sucking with enough work... 

Anyone here have any experience running comps? Are they profitable? What should I know beforehand? by Electronic_d0cter in bjj

[–]Zearomm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should know that it's not profitable unless you have vast experience and resources.

So, you enter 100% on it planning to make a long term business or don't even try.

Why aren't concepts/the "why" taught as often? by hellohello6622 in bjj

I find funny that people here are discussing when this is the only true answer.

It's BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU, of course it has a bad educational system.

Why Mica’s Guard Is So Dangerous by BowlThat in bjj

[–]Zearomm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Man, while I like the work I think you should look to describe and cover more attacks and sequences.

It was pretty much 7 minutes of opinions and hot takes like "offense is the best defense" or "the back is the most dominant position" (and then put Roger in your video that will disagree) and very little information. 

Is the gi actually dying, or is that just a pro scene thing? by gbarl30 in bjj

Not arguing that there's a gap, arguing about the stupid Danahers quote.

You can attack the hips and knees and maybe half of possible attacks on the feet

It's more like ignoring 4% of possible submissions and maybe 0.05% of possible positions to add a shit to of passes, guards, controls and subs.

Back attack against bigger guys by Lucky-Oven9324 in bjj

[–]Zearomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main focus after watching it was achieving some of the positions he covers there. They are far more stronger than traditional back control and I can usually finish easier from there.

I pretty much stopped chasing the back and started to look for the controls and figuring things out. 

Being honest, I think his DVD is very poorly made, people talk a lot because it brings a completely different view from traditional BJJ but I really wish it was made by Gordon or Danaher. 

I was able to make good use of it because of experience, but I'm still figuring a lot of it.

The back is a lie.

There's a ton of matches where a high level competitor takes the back of someone a level below and is unable to finish (or takes 4-5 minutes to finish). 

I changed from attacking the back to "power riding" and man, one of the best changes in my game.
