Fully agree. Thanks for your comment!

100 percent, do you also train somewhere?

@@chrishargett8958 I have my own place. I got my black belt in 2012 from Professor's Tim Cartmell and Mike Lindmeier.

Glad you liked it!

Of course, thank you

Then your coach is different or your s*it

Thing is though, in this example, if white belts are tapping blues, does that mean the whites are good and need to be promoted, or does it mean the blues are bad and need to be held back longer? There needs to be some objective measurable standard like mastery over a particular set of techniques, positions, combos etc

@@cadklsThat’s why I find belts and colors to be arbitrary. It’s not as if belts magically enhance one’s abilities.

@@letshuman8985 I wouldn't say they're entirely arbitrary, they represent mastery over part of a martial art, and can denote skill if done correctly, i.e not handing out belts like TKD does every 18 seconds but also not handing them out based on subjective performance against other belts.

@@cadkls you ask a very open ended questions. There are too many unknown variables to answer correctly. What I said remains true; if you’re high level you c na literally see if someone needs to be given a higher ranking or not. However I am of the mind no one needs anything especially a rank to tell them what they already know lol

Celebrating our students progress is our favorite thing, what do you like to celebrate?

It’s a generality and usually best performed early on with submissions that have a rotational component. Submissions that are finished in more of a linear nature (armbar, straight ankle lock) it can be hard to “go with it” as a defense. In training, when unsure, the safest bet is to tap and review the position to be certain you are applying the correct escape.

of course

😂😂😂

💯 😂

😂😂😂👏 exactly

That’s one way for sure. We definitely air on the side of de-escalation. Thanks for sharing.

​@@laquintajiujitsuwow u actually replyed and thank you for taking my idea , I'm national 1st rank in karate in India

We do our best. That’s great to hear, keep up the great work!

@@laquintajiujitsu u guys got insta?

Love it!

Sounds like you are a true martial artist, thanks for sharing!

Sound like you might need a hug?

@laquintajiujitsu are you offering all you have to do is say the word and I'll catch the bus to your house. We'll I'm waiting.

yes! the journey is the best part

Can you cite any other educational organizations that teach “what they don’t teach you” for reference please, thank you.

@@laquintajiujitsu I just mean that for the last 25 years everything I've heard about Jiu-Jitsu sounds like an advertisement. I've a lot of respect for Jiu-Jitsu, but it isn't complete, as things go.

Wow, it sounds like you’ve been following it for some time…. Why do you think it’s not complete? Are you referring to situations outside of 1v1 or when weapons are involved?

@@laquintajiujitsu I didn't mean to mess up the comments section of what was essentially a promotional video, I was just killing time and leaving random comments for fun. But since you asked: BJJ doesn't emphasize striking, obviously, and the standing grappling element is weak compared to several other systems. There's no real footwork like you would get in boxing, kickboxing or fencing, and as far as a complete grappling system appropriate for the cage goes I consider catch wrestling to be superior, always have, and this is because of the strategy BJJ takes towards fighting more than anything else. It's entirely missing the stuff that internal martial arts teach, such as the forms, the philosophy and the internal practices such as Qigong, and the mindset of BJJ practitioners generally creates a block to learning such things. (I realize that stuff isn't accepted as useful by everyone, but some people know better.). As a system of pure self defense I think it is missing many, many aspects, too many to briefly summarize, and as you mentioned, nothing about weapons. There are many ways to participate in martial arts, but for most of human history a "real fight" meant using weapons and I think to be a well rounded martial artist you need to competently handle weapons, which always, always involves training in footwork. No system is fully complete and I recommend martial artists learn multiple styles to balance out skills as well as perspectives. Even if you were to stick exclusively to South American styles, additionally studying Capoeira and machete fighting will certainly be more complete than BJJ alone. My issue is that BJJ guys often represent their system as more comprehensive than it is. Partially I think that this is because of the extraordinary success of MMA, which I love, but have always found to be somehow lacking, and all you would have to do is change the rule system to make BJJ nearly irrelevant, meaning much of BJJ s success is due to tournaments being the way they are and marketing. All that being said, I agree with much of what you said are advantages of Jiu-Jitsu in the video, though much of that applies to every competitive sport.

Not at all. We’re happy to provide a platform for discussion about something we are all passionate about. You raise some great points that are in line with Bruce Lee’s philosophy in regard to footwork for example or that no martial art is truly complete. Every art has strengths and weaknesses and you can go down the rabbit hole of why something wouldn’t work, which is very context dependent. I also agree that the sport of BJJ has little to do with self defense, however, what Kano intended (although it also led to the creation of a sport) encompasses the philosophical whole of how martial arts or bushido should benefit a society. There are also some practicality obstacles to overcome in terms of how much of people’s lives they will dedicate towards learning things like knife fighting etc. In terms of getting people active and giving them a baseline , in a relatively gentle way, of where their ability to defend themselves is, so they can continue on the path of self development, BJJ fares well in this regard. Thanks for your thought provoking comments.

Interesting statistic, would you be so kind as to provide some examples of “useful martial arts” so our audience can be more informed? Also, maybe you’ve already seen this but I recommend watching UFC 1. Cheers.

Are you saying that against multiple opponents it is a disadvantage to be on the ground? Because that is definitely true, regardless of your martial arts training, engaging with multiple opponents is a very risky proposition altogether when you factor in size, skill and strength differences. A good martial artist will understand how to minimize risk and damage to self altogether. There is no unstoppable form, and with each person added to the conflict, more unpredictability. What Jiu Jitsu can offer, is a level of fitness in a grappling context that most people don’t have which will give them the upper hand in a clinch/ground setting in a 1v1 setting.

Jack it sounds like you have a lot of experience. So you probably know the amount of “clean shots” landed in an actual street fight are very few and result in both people (assuming it’s 1v1) tumbling to the ground where one person (usually the more trained person) has the opportunity to get on top and control the other. I do agree though, it is IMPOSSIBLE to choke someone out when you are unconscious, this is true.

That can be a great start, what city are you located in?

Sorry, what was that?

whats the first?

How did you get that from "eating bugs isn't a good thing" ?

@@laquintajiujitsu Implying that eating bugs isn't a good thing -> "Eat ze bugs" -> "...you own nothing, and you've never been happier" -> You dared challenge the prediction of the WEF -> Subversion of prediction -> "You vill own nothing, but YOU will not ve happy."

absolutely!

not sure if thats a good way to instill it
