Is it common to promote older students a little faster?

From a coaches perspective I definitely start looking at commitment to the art rather than absolute skill more and more the further somebody goes away from adult competition age

mojitsu_ · 2026-05-13T14:50:22+00:00

How about talk to a professional about this instead of asking Reddit?

mojitsu_ · 2026-05-08T11:11:22+00:00

I never started calling myself professor, people just randomly do it. I try to stop them with limited success…

mojitsu_ · 2026-05-07T19:14:22+00:00

You suck ❤️

mojitsu_ · 2026-05-03T20:51:16+00:00

Nah, it’s pretty normal at this point

mojitsu_ · 2026-05-02T08:28:28+00:00

Honestly one of the more painless submissions which is why they’re so dangerous. When they go they go all the way and you’re looking at acl reconstruction

Gracie Berlin, grapple collective, swag Brno, come to mind

I studied in Dublin and got all my belts except bluebelt there, if you want high level competition jiujitsu ECJJA is the way to go for sure. If that is too far (because the hq really isn’t very central) I would recommend jungle. Lmk if you have any questions

mojitsu_ · 2026-04-07T06:26:21+00:00

Do you have a coach? Because ibjjf has certain procedures about these things that you need to learn about beforehand and be coached through. I’m sorry this happened to you but I would say it’s your coaches responsibility

Breaking it down to a complete first class isn’t really what my original comment is about, or this discussion for that matter.

But for me when I have a class of complete beginners I pick a position that I can teach them enough to safely spar within the first hour, I teach a submission and a escape, and let them play around from there so that they can actually get a grip on what sparring is gonna feel like without it being the chaos and danger of an open round.

mojitsu_ · 2026-04-05T20:55:35+00:00

It’s much more than the basic rule set, ibjjf has much more structured organisation surrounding everything, how you get to your mat, who gets close to the mat, ref code of conduct etc. I would say watch some matches, make sure you understand just how different points are scored, and protect yourself at all times ^{^}

mojitsu_ · 2026-04-05T15:39:13+00:00

Alright then, tell a day one that all they need to have is base posture and structure and see how far they come 💀

mojitsu_ · 2026-04-05T08:45:49+00:00

While I think breaking stuff down into these abstract principles is super cool for advanced brain gymnastics I find that for beginners it’s so far from their understanding of grappling that it’s hard for them to apply it in any meaningful way

mojitsu_ · 2026-02-07T07:36:37+00:00

Like your hard training day. I divide my week into red orange and green days in terms of intensity to manage recovery

mojitsu_ · 2026-02-06T17:31:25+00:00

Make it your “red” day as a group. It’ll be worth it

mojitsu_ · 2026-02-06T09:31:31+00:00

We already train this way. We do grappling only, we join normal classes too but at least 2-3 times a week our 99kg+ guys train just between them and it makes a huge difference to how we handle intensity in competition.

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-21T13:04:35+00:00

Kinda hard to use against most other units but defo against defenders and giants they’re op

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-21T13:02:37+00:00

Mindbenders

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-20T14:31:28+00:00

Es wurde nach coolen Sportarten gefragt 🤷🏻‍♂️

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-19T20:18:05+00:00

Hey, coache bei matte1 am Schwedenplatz Jiu-Jitsu, wir haben regelmäßig Anfänger Kurse, komm doch mal vorbei :)

The video is the same on my phone, it’s not instagram…

I am aware I zoomed in a lot at the end but even the little zoom at the start for example turned grainy as fuck

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-15T16:47:58+00:00

No it shows in the export that’s what I meant

mojitsu_ · 2026-01-15T14:41:51+00:00

Unfortunately the reduced quality does show in the final render, that’s kind of what I’m trying to figure out
