Martial arts mindset. Fear = Fight, flight (run away) or freeze.

This talks about the martial arts mindset and human instinct of fight flight and freeze. And it points out how everybody has their own innate way of dealing with it, but if you’re a type to freeze, you can’t overcome it by overcoming the fear of fighting. #bjj #martialarts #mindset #martialartstraining #bjjtraining #bjjsparring #fear #brazilianjujitsu #life

Rickson Grace para todo el mundo
took 4 years to get my blue... head coahc always says : never given, earned. just subbed. oss.
And if that person is a colleague who mistreats you continually and you have to work with that person...then what?
That isn't a nice way to ask someone you don't know a question. Meanwhile I don't know the truth of the situation. If you don't like my videos, nobody is forcing you to watch them. Don't take what I say out of context. My videos are clear and direct.
Took me 20 years to get my brown belt. Granted I was doing more the the MMA route and no Gi. I'll be our gyms first black belt and we opened in 2011
if I make mistakes in my gym my teacher yells at me and calls me retarded
agree
Takada Noob....
Thanks, this idea helps to remove a bit more the ego from rolling
That is awesome. Thank you for sharing, now I know this video was worth sharing. Your school is a place to learn, grow, and share. Competition is where you take all of that and put it into action.
He speaks the truth!
I have made comments on other RUclips videos that stated, there are way to many black belts. When I was a blue belt 2 stripe I rolled with brown and black belts that could not submit me. In some cases I could submit them. So I bean to question what is a black belt. If he is black and I am blue I can spend 6 more years to be at that sad level.
Tapping people out doesn't mean you are an expert in BJJ. I don't know you, so I can't give a real opinion. If anything then you might need to go to a different school. It happens.
I tap out black belts. I don't know shit. Even a clock is right 2 times a day.
I totally agree with you. I'm currently in a school that does attendance stripes, and a belt test. I'm coming up to my belt test and honestly, I need more time; I'm sure I'll get through the test but it's still going to be an early promotion. This is my second time starting BJJ and the first time, getting the call over for my first stripe randomly felt fantastic and it really is a bit of a letdown to just get them via attendance. I think I know why schools are doing it, same reason you're discussing, people want to feel like they're making progress and so maybe for white belt you give the first two stripes off of attendance to give someone that mental encouragement for acknowledging that they've showed up, but after that I think you need to drop it. Absolutely some schools go to far with subjective stripe and belt criteria, so I think when it comes to belts, you should have objective criteria, and not just a test which you can train for, but something a little more holistic. I'll be a blue belt soon, but it's not going to feel the way I want it to feel. Despite this, my school/academy is one of the best in the region and I will get better, but if I'm being honest, I'm probably a 2.5 or 3 stripe white belt, not 4. Not Yet.
Testing is a entirely different thing. That can be a money grab in itself. A gifted student can be pushed to test early and that is perfectly fine. In other martial arts I tested earlier than everyone, and that’s because I picked up things fast and practiced 24/7. For some. They aren’t ready and are pushed to take a test, expecting to fail, so they can make more off the student. I have seen that too, in other martial arts. In BJJ testing can be a double edged sword. It can be good for the school and bad for the student and vice versa. Class performance on the mat doesn’t lie. It’s the most honest thing in BJJ. 👍🏼🥋
You might not realize that maybe you’re doing better than you think. When you first start, the blue belts smash you and seem like gods. Once you get to purple you realize that new blue belts usually don’t know shit.
The first picture really hit home a training partner spazzing to try and escape from side control and then another neck cranking ruined my discs. Had to get surgery. It sucks!!
BJJ is not easy on the body. That is why I made this video. Hope the surgery helped.
@@Hereweare75 I appreciate that thanks. Still don’t know if it did.
youtube is spying on me.. :). I just got home from BJJ noon class, 50 years old beat up sore ribs.
Your phone knows! lol
I did jiu jutsu for a while in my youth. I was thinking oh one day it'll come in handy if I'm trying to defend myself. 10 years went by. Never had to use. But I was going twice a week damaging my body to some level almost everytime- Is it enjoyable really? To grapple with smelly sweaty dudes? Really? Gross bruh. If you need self defense learn to use a weapon and keep it by you. A gun will beat a mma fighter 99% of the time. Other than that learn to deescalate aggressive situation. Get ripped and strong. Learn the basics of fighting/self defense and leave it at that' don't get into going every week for a pointless MMA training. Waste of time.
No one who has ever trained would write something like that.
Who needed a full-body cast from a BJJ injury? Did their opponent break both of their arms and legs? 😆
5:30 is the reason a lot of people check out of BJJ. With how difficult life is getting, it seems like a hobby for the privileged who can afford to get injured. One major injury turns your entire life upside down for the better part of a year and it's never the same. If you have kids to take care of, training striking or boxing seems like a much safer and practical hobby 😅
@@Hereweare75 whats crazy is all the judoka consider bjj there retirement art. judo silver medalist travis stevens (who's also competed in black belt level comps in bjj like copa podio) interview on lex fridman really sheds light on soft bjj is . for a short version look up--- Injuries: Judo vs Jiu-Jitsu | Travis Stevens and Lex Fridman on YT.. judo is probably the most injury prone (its not really the arts fault, generally its just humans being humans) art to do at any age. far worse then wrestling because the gi + upright throws trips etc means massive leg entanglements at pace. the throw's are generally higher then wrestling on average which means more falling body weight for instance i saw a white belt going for a basic osoto gari and his opponents leg got planted - in a position where he couldn't pivot so as he fell his weight went over his knee breaking nearly every ligament and one of the black belts told me it happens all the time...
@@user-vc6 Judo is more dangerous for the impact, since it's focus is throwing. BJJ is 10x more dangerous because of everything else. It is too much to get into via typing. None of the grappling arts are safe, they are the most damaging to the body, especially to older adults.. That is the easiest way to put it. Take up a striking arts that don't involve sparring or a martial art that focuses on weapons like Kali, if you want to avoid injuries.
Thanks for the advice and information! Let’s Go! #TKA
Anything to help brother. Renzo Gracie Family!
Thank You for the great information. 😇🙏
100 percent agree with you
Millions and millions of people are outraged and condemning and boycotting the Olympics now! I would hate to think what the ending ceremony will be like if it’s just as demonic as the opening ceremony, but it should be condemned and boycotted. A biological male xy bone structure, muscle density, faster muscle twitch/reflex, etc… I agree, no matter how much female hormones he would’ve taken he will still be stronger and faster. She knew from the first punch it was vastly different than a biological female and he could possibly kill her, so she rightfully immediately stopped the fight. My heart breaks for her! I pray GOD blesses her and any other female who was forced to compete against a biological male in this many fold. Imo any biological male competing against a biological female in any physical event is the epitome of COWARD and it should be outlawed. Real men fight men. You’re right, if they are going to allow “trans” athletes then they should have their own category and compete trans male to trans male OR trans female to trans female. Good video! Peace ❤
I just wanna know how anyone can be okay with this. How are some people okay with having trans people compete against the gender they’re pretending to be?
Because they want to be Liberal and woke. It only matters when it happens to them or affects someone they know and love.
Thank you for the informational advice. 👍 #TonyTKA
Grande mestre 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rickson looks big here ! He must have got weight to fight Takada.
Rickson did not look that good here he could not take this guy down and the only reason he got mount was because Takada tried a foot lock I do not think he would be able to compete against the top guys even back then.

Not harsh words at all; it's true most people forget the reason they started Jiu Jitsu, start belt chasing, and start watching others progress instead of their own, but BJJ has a way of humbling people and bringing them Back down to earth, the mats don't lie.
Awesome video, Kieth, and great insight into the ins and outs and many different systems of grading depending on schools, the individual, skill, and level. The way you break things down is very detailed, as I imagine your Jiujitsu is keeping the videos coming.
A black belt is a white belt that never quit, but they used their time on the mats to fail, adjust, and fail again until they figured it out.
Real Jiu-Jitsu is refreshing to watch.
I legit had a discussion with my head instructor last night to make sure I never get a promotion based on showing up. When I get my brown belt I want it to be because I feel, roll and act like a brown belt.
That is awesome. Congratulations and thank you for watching my video. I talked about that also in this video. ruclips.net/video/rBMZhxXxJT0/видео.htmlsi=Ip1KNRXZZuUJSAPN
@@Hereweare75 dope, I’ll check it out. Love the shirt as well.
Ryron & Rener Gracie actually test for belts now. The black belt test is 2 days long, 5 hours each day.
And finished with a similar bar after He weakened that arm with heel kicks, excellent Warrior!
Rickson will win the current UFC heavyweight champion.
Nothing happens til 4:30
Good advice from someone that knew leglocks LONG before they were cool!!! In my experience, I've concluded that combining leglocks with passing makes it easier to do one or the other.
Great video that all beginners should watch since fancy low percentage social media moves are a big problem now, lol! I usually don't put much faith & training time into moves that I've never seen work in competition.
Thanks for sharing. Valuable advice 👍
Great advice!!! New people definitely underestimate the importance diaphragmatic breathing. You'll literally be using it all the time.
With some of the comments and replies, I must of been speaking another language. Or people didn't watch the video in it's entirety before commenting, Or the understanding of the content of the video went completely over some people's head. SMH FML
However given that said I totally disagree with just about everyone on the Internet or Tub disregarding the importance of kata forms in Judo are karate kung fu or you name the discipline. It preserves the information and techniques from the discipline it may be? Even if you don't train and compete or fight and really grasp the practical someone can preserve the theoretical to always go back to.
Think about it why are all amateur and professional boxing gyms in the hood or in the barrio's? Or even that why doesn't everybody try freestyle wrestling in school even though it's free? Because you pay in sweat and blood to learn those disciplines and humility to say the least. No one is going to pay to go get a bloody nose every day or face grounded into the mat!
Unfortunately it's all about money the majority of people quit because it is rough to be getting smashed. That's why people quit. But it's tough to keep a Dojo open with so much turn over in students.
Preach, brother! Preach!
Rickson Grace one of the greatest .
Who did he fight that was a top guy? He could not even take this guy down he would be destroyed by today's top guys.
It's really unfortunate what happened to Karate. It's foundation was Okinawan wrestling (called Tegumi) with striking added later, but then when it went to Japan, the Japanese only focused on the striking (because they already had Judo, Sumo, etc) and changed the range from the original grappling clinch range to farther out, and they jettisoned the grappling, so now no one knows what all those "funky" moves in kata are for. And it's the Japanese version that got exported around the world, and even backwards influenced how karate is done even on Okinawa in some of the schools. Originally, every young kid came to karate already knowing at least basic Tegumi, which was stand up grappling like Sumo, or Judo without the groundwork, so the striking was added after to complete it.
