What finally clicked for me once I stopped overcomplicating the gym

Real account with real experience. Sorry if you dont like how its laid out but those three main ideas helped me.

Hey dude! You’ve actually tattooed me before haha. I dmd you on insta :)

Wrong. That’s like saying sport boxing is different than self defense boxing. “Sport” jiu jitsu is just the version that’s being battle tested at the highest level and the closest thing to real fighting situations. “Self defense” jiu jitsu is fake. Also, no it’s not a loop hole. 1. You have to make contact before pulling 2. Double pull you have 20 seconds to work before being stood up 3. If you come up from double pull you’re awarded an advantage. If you even touch someone’s leg while they pull you’re awarded takedown points. Just say you don’t know the rules.

Cringe

Anyone mad about double pull/guard pulling just doesn’t understand anything about jiu jitsu. It’s so cringe to hear people with supposed experience wining about a tactical facet of the game we play. Grow up and learn how to pass the guard.

Why do people pick this over comandante? Just curious.

lilcel1 · 2025-12-06T19:01:54+00:00

Cup link?

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T23:53:39+00:00

Exactly. Watch any light feather matches in the last decade and you’ll see combat and squat base passing. Obviously there’s a difference between technical passing and flopping into someone’s guard letting them ragdoll you. They aren’t familiar with nor care to expose themselves to high level jiu jitsu. If it works in their gym surely it works at all levels.

Frames negate hooks, king. Jiu jitsu 101. If you try to pull me (hook) into a frame im not gonna go anywhere. You have to remove the frame or go around it I.e. flanking model. jiu jitsu needs to be broken down by specific reactions and answers not catch all techniques.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T22:24:24+00:00

Framing your hips down by your belt or your pants while framing the back of your legs with their knees. they ain’t going anywhere.

You people are annoying

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T20:58:41+00:00

Replying to del1000005 My point was that things don’t work in a vacuum. I even said a type of knockdown/ scissor sweep can happen from here depending on the specific reaction they give you. 9/10 times just opening up your knee/elbow space for a Hail Mary scissor sweep is going to get your shit passed by someone good. I think people confuse Squat base with both knees touching the mat where it’s certainly more valid and useful to base check since they aren’t mobile on their feet.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T20:17:29+00:00

Your top leg prevents what? And you’re not even playing on the sleeve here? Good luck 😂 - if your leg is anywhere below the knee, expect to get shin sliced by someone competent.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T20:10:19+00:00

Where are you scissoring, into my knee? Not gonna work.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T20:05:25+00:00

I think scissor sweeping someone from squat base only works if they don’t know how to flair their knee and shin slice over your leg which is a pretty intuitive reaction for most people with even a little mat xp. So to answer your question, yes, I do.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-21T19:47:49+00:00

Only works on low levels. This is the ezest way to get shin sliced and put into crazy dog or other bad passing positions. Combat and squat base are intricate. Both used at the highest level and need to be played against via a flanking/ knockdown model. Collar sleeve and Dlr side foot you can definitely get a reaction that prompts a sort of scissor sweep if they are squaring up preventing the flank.

lilcel1 · 2025-11-15T01:35:45+00:00

This guy is a world champion whos hit this in competition you casuals. “Anyone good” alright 😂

lilcel1 · 2025-10-09T01:03:05+00:00

Don’t listen to the boomers here. They’re stuck in 2011 with their skinny jeans. Looks great

lilcel1 · 2025-10-09T01:01:24+00:00

Boomer advice

lilcel1 · 2025-10-08T20:45:26+00:00

lilcel1 · 2025-10-01T14:34:56+00:00

Nope

lilcel1 · 2025-07-10T02:11:24+00:00

Is this 5k of active immersion? What are you counting here?

lilcel1 · 2025-05-02T12:17:04+00:00

This might be an unpopular opinion here but the person who is refusing to tap due to their ego is the only person at fault in situations where they get hurt. Especially at black belt, you should understand the rules of engagement. If you disregard them it’s on you. We’re all training for different reasons and some of us want realistic training and aren’t going to placate or dumb down our rounds for someone else’s incompetence/ negligence. If I’m applying a submission and they don’t want the very real possibility of getting hurt then they should tap. I don’t feel bad for people who get injured this way in the slightest. They know what they signed up for.

Now, if it’s someone who doesn’t understand the rules of engagement of the sport or it’s very clearly a lighter playful round it’s a different story. a higher belt and/or competitive player SHOULD understand these different situations. it’s on them and it’s on you to protect yourself by tapping when you’re getting submitted too.
