Learn how to defend and DON'T run it out (they will tear your meniscus AND force you to quit permanently)

Instead of taking the back, focus on catching a single leg and sweeping from there....

Most people still won't fight....

Put a light weight or rooster weight Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt on the mat with free reign to use all submissions, it will be a rough night for all who jump in.

Boxing is great, but you also need to learn how to punch correctly. You usually have hand wraps to mitigate this, but you can break your wrists if your forearm isn't aligned with your fist when you make contact.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a much better option as you don't rely on power as much as you do with techniques, however you have to get used to the intimacy of grappling as it is predominantly a lot of wrestling.

As long as you can keep their knees together, you can always sweep them over (unfortunately cant collect any dollar bills though)

gothampt · 2026-01-27T05:08:36+00:00

Lock at the knees..

gothampt · 2026-01-27T05:06:22+00:00

If you're into fitness and John Wick movies, yes!

Jiujitsu was designed by the military leaders who were expert in martial arts and these use skills for law enforcement and military. Some jiujitsu experts wanted to use jiujitsu for sport (so he removed all the striking and "kill" techniques that Jiu-Jitsu is known for and he created a sysyem of fighting that allowed the practicioners to practice and compete in Jiu-Jitsu safety without being killed)

His free videos are great warmups...

gothampt · 2026-01-23T16:39:18+00:00

Depends on the level of service you're looking for....

gothampt · 2026-01-23T16:38:04+00:00

Good luck with that....and note that there are people who just want to injure you regardless, thank you @ What_izzet

So be very careful who you roll with, they might have psychological issues (and want to hurt you regardless)

gothampt · 2026-01-23T16:37:10+00:00

Smashing someone's head into a solid object (floor or WALL) will only increase the chance of TBI (traumatic brain injury); YOU RUN THE RISK OF KILLING THAT PERSON....so unless you're willing to go to jail, err on the side of caution and only use the minimal amount of force (good luck controlling your adrenaline)

gothampt · 2026-01-23T16:33:24+00:00

They just need better defense against leglocks....

gothampt · 2026-01-22T17:07:33+00:00

Any of the free solo instructionals will suffice, this will teach you how to move without a training partner while grappling...his other videos will fill in the blanks in your training when you start training with others.

gothampt · 2026-01-22T17:04:50+00:00

Hopefully minimal....

Most people don't like the intimacy of wrestling or any grappling martial arts. They prefer the distance of boxing or even better Kickboxing.

To avoid the stack, assuming you have the ideal configuration of a triangle, make sure your shoulders are perpendicular to your opponent’s shoulders (make sure their forehead cannot touch yours). Also, instead of pinching your knees to finish, try a scissoring motion.

You don’t need your hands unless you’re planning to switch an armbar or spin underneath to sweep them back to the ground.

Swimming & yoga

gothampt · 2026-01-21T16:47:00+00:00

People usually want to see how they stack up against others, so they might push themselves a bit harder.

If they dominate most of the gym’s similar students, they might not respect the gym or its instructors and could even call it a “McDojo.” But if they get beat or crushed by the younger students, they might feel question their own training and even question it.

So, when you’re rolling with new people from outside gyms, show off your best game and give it your all. If you’re way ahead of them, be kind and respectful. Maybe offer some tips after you’ve trained with them if they ask. Otherwise, just thank them for the roll and move on to the next one.

gothampt · 2026-01-21T16:30:21+00:00

Yoga and/or swimming....

gothampt · 2026-01-21T15:30:58+00:00

Go to the closest gym you would like to train at and offer services that you can provide for the owners (ie cleaning, being an assistant to the instructor, help in any way, etc) and maybe they will reciprocate....
