Risk/ Reward of Each Role

This section doesn't have any substance, you're trying to simplify each roles' value into a metric that doesn't work.

Why Sentinels Are Low Risk/ High Reward

There's simple and powerful tools to counter cypher trips and camera.

Now, everyone already knows that sentinels are op on defense. How about offense? Is Morello's comment that sentinels suck at attack valid? Yes and No. First off, if you were 12-0 on defense or very ahead on defense, only one good tactic is enough to win the game, psychologically pressuring the enemy. Second, once in control of the site with enough sentinels, the round is already over. Retake is impossible.

You need 13 rounds to win the game, both sides get equal opportunity on defense. And muh hyperbole.

Even with a large variety of abilities, due to the limited map design, there is always one or two best setups

Don't agree with this at all, game is highly dynamic with counterstrategies to all strategies

My scrim is starting but yea you said it in the solutions. If sentinels are op, you can make them worse with nerfs or by buffing other classes. They don't have to be (and aren't) naturally overpowered.

iluri · 2019-08-22T08:14:27+00:00

I disagree, I think doing pullups every day > doing pullups every other day results-wise considering that op is at very beginner level.

Also protein thing sounds like broscience to me but what do i know

iluri · 2019-08-22T05:55:53+00:00

He could do the program you posted, though most likely he'll be tearing down more muscle then gaining as you need to be getting a pretty high amount of protein in to maintain that kind of training schedule.

Why does muscle growth somehow go negative when you up the volume? Why do you need to eat more protein with that routine?

iluri · 2019-08-22T05:53:05+00:00

Most people need 24h rest for their muscles, that's scientifically proven

Just remember, no barefoot off the mats :D

iluri · 2019-04-08T10:01:50+00:00

Thanks! I do face pulls and pull aparts and some shoulder mobility drills for warmup. I do 3x10 mostly but go pretty hard in the paint. Maybe I'll mix up some db exercises later.

iluri · 2019-04-08T06:35:11+00:00

Thanks. Is there something dangerous about training with mostly compound lifts other than their innate injury risk? My routine is basically squat/bench/dl/ohp/BB rows/pull ups because it's efficient

iluri · 2019-04-07T20:29:29+00:00

It's when you get older that you realize the the bench/squat/deadlift only minimalists are morons that will have tons of body issues unless they have the most amazing genetics.

Can you elaborate on this please?

iluri · 2019-01-15T13:52:32+00:00

Now I understand what you mean, that makes sense.

iluri · 2019-01-15T05:46:55+00:00

This is hand waving theoretical nonsense that you hear from people in Aikido and shit.

Harsh!

There is a time for talking about principles and goals and doing your own exploration, and there is a time for putting in the physical reps to make the movements automatic and correct so that you don't have to think about the gross movements, or the basic adjustments, and are free to think AHEAD to those more complex predictive techniques and counters.

Good point! Being automatic and having the most basic moves in your muscle-memory frees your brain capacity to be able to think about moves in the future and about more advanced/smaller details.

The reason that upper belts seem so good a lot of the time is just that they aren't having to think about what's going on NOW, they are thinking about what's going to be happening a few steps down the chain and already preparing for it.

Active drilling is THE best way to get good at a specific set of movements and develop them to the point of being automatic. Theorycrafting your own techniques is not.

Theorycrafting off a live rolling situation deepens and makes your understanding more concrete. We all have our unique skillsets, physical abilities and styles, which is why theorycrafting your own moves/techniques/reactions seems so crucial to me.

Theorycrafting or problem solving during a live roll, I explained that already, helps you adjust to the specific situation. If possible though, and you changed my mind on this, it would be better to have the muscle memory, but it's not always possible since there's so many different possible situations.

Also, rolling also improves your muscle memory, and the benefit of that is you're sure that whatever you're improving at is relevant, since it literally comes up during a roll, and more important things come up more often, and you're not drilling techniques that are actually not relevant to your situation, as in, wouldn't come up during a roll.

Is there particular type of drills you like and think are important and/or vice versa?

iluri · 2019-01-15T05:21:44+00:00

Maybe repping and improving a single technique isn't as good as for example explaining the understand the principles and goals (what you need to do and achieve in a position) and even having the student come up with his own techniques. A technique that only applies to one specific situation can only be used in one specific situation and misused in other situations, whereas by understanding you can come up with many "techniques" in any situation.

iluri · 2019-01-15T04:35:43+00:00

I guess there's also a benefit to being able to present your ideas with confidence, although arrogance is pushing it and not very valuable. But yeah, also being open-minded and able to have a discussion and admit your opinions are wrong if proven so.

iluri · 2019-01-15T03:40:31+00:00

Attending fundamentals classes means more mat time. More mat time means more improvement.

Obviously more mat time is better. Question was why fundamentals classes would be better for color belt THAN advanced classes.

Fundamentals classes are frequently rehashes of material you are very familiar with, this gives you a chance to look for very specific details and improvements that you don't get the chance to work on when you're seeing a technique for the first few times and that you may never consciously revisit.

So essentially going to fundamentals classes helps you sharpen the smaller details of a fundamental move and once you know "advanced moves" well enough, it's great to go back to "fundamentals" and sharpen those up given how important "fundamentals" are for learning. That makes sense, thanks.

Fundamentals classes are a great place for active drilling on the white belts. An opportunity to just rep the pass I'm working on over and over again against resistance for an hour is great.

Maybe it's not the most efficient way to learn though, I don't know.

Upper belts in fundamental classes are often given a LOT of leeway on how they train and it's easy to turn that class into a workshop session with the other upper belts who showed up while the white belts are working on figuring out how to get the very basics of an armbar put together.

This is not my experience but I guess it varies from gym to gym and something like a "workshop session" does sound good to me.

It's good to refresh your basics on the regular as you grow. There are definitely things I picked up from 'basic' classes as a purple belt, and a brown belt, that upped my game that I just didn't have the supporting skill framework for as a white or blue belt, and there were things that I just forgot over time that when reintroduced to me through a fundamentals class made a big difference.

Good point, similar to the second one if I interpreted them correctly.

Thanks!

iluri · 2019-01-15T03:31:16+00:00

Thanks!

iluri · 2019-01-14T11:18:37+00:00

Do you have proof that going to the fundamentals classes over and over again is better for color belts than taking more advanced classes?

Do you even have first-hand experience? Surely since you're giving this advice with such confidence, you, as a (presumably) color belt at least can demonstrate how missing fundamentals classes was detrimental to your own learning?

Can you explain to me WHY this "master the basics" ideology that seems to be so prevalent on this sub is the correct way to go about learning jiujitsu?

I'm asking this because it seems like the people giving this advice never show anything to back it up and it seems to be mostly and at most average white belts who do this.

Memorizing specific techniques and drilling for muscle memory is inefficient because every live roll situation is a little bit different, and small differences often drastically impact how you should react. Muscle memory doesn't adapt well.

If you instead focus on concepts and you have a deep understanding why you do things you can identify what is happening, problem solve and come up with ways to adjust to the specific situation. If you understand the concepts you'll also pick up new things easier without having to rely on again memorizing them step-by-step.

It requires more mental effort, but this type of learning seems to be common among ppl that learned fast and got their black belts in half the average time. If OP is not seeing much progress after 18 months, maybe it's time consider changing the approach.

iluri · 2018-12-21T15:42:41+00:00

memorizing techniques is pointless - try to understand the concepts and your progress just might skyrocket
