Here's another tip/trick from a seasoned grappler: former UFC fighter and high level grappler Frank Shamrock and John Danaher (both not related), have mention how to jack your learning and evolution curve: train with all ranks, train with all belt levels. 80% of your gain will come from guys who are weaker or as good as you. As soon as you roll with better guys than you, the % drop significantly. Not my words, but Danaher. The tougher, the rougher the roll, the lesser the gain technically. Too intense will arouse your survival instinct and shut your cognitive neurologic system.

hey Zak, what would you recommend for me to do at home because I am not able to attend class consistently due to work, travel, and family. i have been unable to get to class and when i do get to class i dont feel like i get much practice because i am getting smashed in bottom position by larger people. I'm 150 and most people i roll with are heavy weights. I do have a grapping dummy I have been using to practice judo throws but would like to know how i can use it to improve my BJJ.
No amount of mindset is going to beat someone who is physically larger than you are. I've been studying bjj for almost a year or so now and its a myth from the gracies that we need to stop repeating.
A year is nothing. You still know nothing in the grand scheme of things, and have no real basis for your opinion, which frankly, is wrong. If 160lb purple belts aren't demolishing 220lb white belts at your gym, something is very wrong. I will say that size; strength and athleticism matter a lot and can certainly make up for a small skill difference, and everyone who grapples should be looking to become a better athlete. If you're good at 160lb, you'll be better at 180lb (provided it's lean muscle, and you increase your gas tank and flexibility etc accordingly)
Omd. Im 17yrs old teen from Finland and started bjj like 8 months ago almost and i just saw this video. This video saved my jiu jiutsu thinking and things i need to do to learn quick and level up my game. I never thought i will see this clear video about bjj basics i have been watching many videos and none of them clicked in my head expect this one. Thank you so much and God bless you Zak and greetings from Finland.

Come home from Jiu-Jitsu class to a new jiu-jitsu video. Sweet 😎
Best thing that can happen👏
Sit down , open your
Legs , wait for another guy to come on you
Some would call that a gay mindset.

As soon as you said submission baiting i liked the video. It is how i won my first gold medal in bjj.
That's awesome to hear, it is indeed a great mindset to have!!
Tell me more 😮

Love this vid! Could you do a video about the most common “transitions” to learn, especially for beginners?
Will do my best

tbh with you, it's kinda hard to help you, going to a class is a must, is there anyway to go to earlier classes? Like 7am, or something?
Very good video

Well I've been studying BJJ for 12 years, and I can say it is definitely possible

You said “almost a year” you haven’t even trained for 1 year😂.You know nothing about the sport.
