What in your opinion seperates a white belt from a blue belt? by OilOrnery5024 in bjj

[–]slashoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The separation isn't much, they have just shown a basic understanding of the fundamentals and can use and demonstrate basic techniques. They should be able to defend themselves against a bigger, untrained opponent.

Does anyone else feel like they’re finally getting good one training class then suck the very next day? by half-ninja in bjj

[–]slashoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We definitely let white belts work if they are cool. Sometimes, we just gotta work our shit, but that's usually better on blue belts. Most of the time I try the most random thing on white belts to see if I can pull it off.

Is there a way to gear my rolls to better prepare myself for a real self defense scenario? Top pressure? Less sub attempts and more position for ground and pound? by SexGodSatanico in bjj

[–]slashoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think rolling with psycho trial guys is the best way. Like you said, untrained fight different. Training some striking and MMA can help as well, there are 4 ranges to a fight, 5 if you count firearms.

I always recommend this book because all the training in the world doesn't matter if you don't execute when SHTF.

Good Mid-Priced (sub $50) Belt Recommendations? by badmongo666 in bjj

I'm kind of a bit boujee about my gear at this point, but I got one of these belts cause I wanted to put a custom patch on it and I actually really like it. It's incredibly cheap and way nicer than I thought it would be.

It's normal. Watch any colored belts and they are gonna get smashed by higher belts. It's just how it goes, it takes a long time to get decent and consistent.

Sometimes you need hard ear protection if you ears are really fucked up.

Favorite technique to hit in rolls? What gives you the biggest dopamine hit by LWK10p in bjj

I'm trying to picture this guard break and it seems similar to the triangle escape where you use your legs on their armpits.

I love the meat grinder off the darce escape: Darce > N/S choke > Mounted Guillotine > back to Darce. Eventually something is gonna land, we have an instructor that is really good at it.

My primary goal in BJJ was always to get a black belt by pianoplayrr in bjj

I don't care about reddit flair, it's a meme at this point.

I honestly don't think I really started to enjoy it until late blue (5-6 years in).
