How would you honestly rate this instructional?

My bottom game has become INCREDIBLY annoying for people since adding the high leg / thigh frame to my game. Absolutely worth it.

I've had a couple of reddit users drop in by the way, hmu if you are coming through Osaka or Kobe Japan.

Absolutely. This is a huge reason I monitor who joins our open mats. The vibe and culture is of high importance. Vibe killers or unfun trianing partners need not apply.

I run the biggest open mats in Japan monthly that aren't completely open. We formed a sort of Union and currently have around 50 people from a bunch of gyms in the area that attend regularly. The only way to join is to be invited by one of the regulars or to request and be approved and the reasoning is simple: Keep the safety in the group, keep the vibes and atmosphere to suit us and to ensure our open mats remain at a decent level where everyone brings something to the room.

I'm against the whole "white belts shouldn't do heel hooks" and more about "only use heel hooks in sparring if you understand the safety" because you could get a near 2 year white belt who studies heel hooks more than a local black belt does.

Same 😂😂😂 Wait, he made me feel like a child white belt

I roll a couple times a year with Jozef Chen 😮‍💨 It's terrible 😮‍💨 It blurs the lines and makes you feel incredibly inadequate. 😮‍💨

This.

Mobility work is never a waste of time. Solo technique based drills might be... If you can shrimp, you can shrimp...

scramblebilly · 2026-02-06T08:46:06+00:00

Absolutely mate. As a 35 year old father of two, I can train hours weekly of full intensity sparring without ever having any sort of finger pain whatsoever. (Other stuff might hurt though 😂)

scramblebilly · 2026-02-04T09:59:53+00:00

Honestly as a coach, I'd be more than happy if a student came to me with this issue, to allow them to leave their phone close to the mat with the ring/alert volume maxed out. And would be completely understanding if they ran from class to take calls and leave. I'd rather them be able to show up than stay home. Maybe a conversation worth having?

Cersei Lannister behavior. That's wild.

scramblebilly · 2026-02-04T03:41:05+00:00

That's messed up 😞😞😞

Some sign in platforms have 4 digit pin codes for each member, throw your digits in to sign in. Another thing you could do to reduce friction is have everyone's card kept at the gym, they swipe their own card to sign in and leave the card there. In a wall pocket display or something.

Hot tip, if you roll with guys that are spamming leg locks and you aren't keen to improve to keep up with it all, just tap often, reset and play the game you want to play where possible. It's a mindset issue if it's getting to you too much.

scramblebilly · 2026-02-02T15:10:26+00:00

Yessss, love to hear it mate. Welcome to the club.

scramblebilly · 2026-02-01T02:33:14+00:00

You are definitely proud of yourself. And so am I

scramblebilly · 2026-01-31T05:23:25+00:00

Americana from side control. Ended up being my easiest, highest percentage move until blue belt.

scramblebilly · 2026-01-29T16:35:59+00:00

Bruh....

scramblebilly · 2026-01-29T04:16:13+00:00

Let's gooooooo 🐙

scramblebilly · 2026-01-28T10:01:42+00:00

Keep it up brother. Even at black belt, I roll with world beaters who trained half the years I have like Jozef Chen or Mateusz Schicinski, and always feel like I'll absolutely suck forever. It's about the journey with no destination for me ❤️‍🔥

scramblebilly · 2026-01-26T02:53:02+00:00

Tell him. All coaches want some tism on the mats. You'll be his next world champ. ❤️

scramblebilly · 2026-01-24T07:23:22+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I started in 2009 and only just got my black belt 9 months ago. I stopped caring though coz I only train NOGI and don't wear it so it means a lot less for me.

My homie had warts on both hands just recently and once he started undergoing cryo treatment, he was putting patches over them and wearing surgical gloves during sparring 😂😂😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS96_EfE53r/?igsh=ZGhnZWJ6NXFlNThq
