Getting Ahead of Yourself as a BJJ White Belt (Too Many Techniques)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2017
- If you're a White Belt in BJJ. Can RUclips and other Brazilian Jiujitsu instructional videos be helpful, or can it be too much and cause you to get ahead of yourself.
In my opinion as a coach. I think that exposing yourself to as much as possible can be beneficial. If you feel like you're getting overwhelmed then there are ways to narrow down the focus.
This question came as a result of a question I was asked. The question came from a BJJ White Belt and basically he was confused with the idea of chasing more information compared to his previous art of Capoeira.
I also share how space travel has created so many inventions and discoveries that weren't directly caused by space travel but came about as a by product of it. And many times the chase for new techniques will do the same thing. You'll chase after a technique or position and it will sometimes lead to different discoveries in you BJJ game that weren't a part of the plan.
In this video I talk about that situation and hopefully give you some helpful tips on dealing with techniques in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
As always, I hope the video is helpful!
Thanks!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
"I am not training people to be good white belts or good blue belts, I am training people to be good blackbelts someday." Man, I think I just lost my heart to you. My wife won't like that.
do you model the mats on the walls after your teeth? I know you like reading funny/roast comments
i like the fact u spend alot of time speaking to white belts. i started 3 months ago im 41 and alot of your videos have hit home and helped me alot....thank you!!
I was kicked out of a gym for exposing myself. But maybe we're talking about two different things. Jk
Pick a couple and perfect them with multiple set ups, then move on knowing what you have in your arsenal to rely on.
Honestly I think for about the first year students should stick to the fundamentals. All youtube, facebook and instagram do is derail them. Time at white belt would be much better spent learning how to escape mount rather than deep half guard. Just my opinion. I have seen some people you know well come to my gym and have a spider guard game and couldn't shrimp escape. This student was a 1 stripe blue belt. This should not happen.
classic chewy, "I think you'll get the analogy. it's like space travel"
I do capoeira and a white belt. The reason they tell you to stick to the activities in class is because if you show that you know more in the roda and show offense, the person you are playing can reciprocate. If you dont know how to defend or escape the kick, you may get kicked in the face, and that would be on you...
Like Bruce Lee said I don’t fear the guy that knows 10 thousand kicks I fear the person that practiced 1 kick 10 thousand times
We teach all our students leg locks even the children but at the same time preface is by letting them know the dangers as to why leg locks can be dangerous at the white belt level.
As a white belt, I always go to the gym expecting a particular result...I expect to get my ass kicked.
I'm a complete noob right now. My favorite thing is getting completely destroyed rolling with someone, and they then stop and take the time to tell me what I did wrong, how I can improve. This can fit with getting ahead of oneself, I have learned that it would be a mistake to think I know everything there is to know about a move or a position. There's always an added detail to learn; a new way to escape, a new way to prevent an escape I thought was air tight.
Starting my bjj journey tomorrow and your videos have been so damn helpful.
Its my 4th week in and i can't g3t a sub and consistently get subbed but for some reason i can rubber guard and set up the fly trap submission and subbed a couple guys with it :)
Man, i love your videos! Very methodical and crisp clear! Respect from Russia!
Great video. I'm 10 months into BJJ and feeling like I can flow when I roll. I tend to watch an hour of techniques online every day and have been practicing some that my instructor hasn't taught us but trying to not to get too ahead of myself. Thanks for keeping it real for us white belts!
I looove watching jiu jitsu videos on RUclips! I follow you, Kurt Osiander, Stephen Kesting, Bernardo Faria, BJJ Joe and maybe one or two more, and have had success incorporating some of what I've watched into my game. Thanks for all the tips!
Excellent advice! Kind of validates my method now, two week ago we were rolling after a block of instruction at my gym and my coach had me in butterfly guard and half guard and completely manhandled me. Obviously it should be that way, as he is a black belt with twenty years under that belt and I'm a measley white belt with not even two months. BUT, the rest of the week I researched and watched passes and escapes for those two positions and several 'ah-ha' moments happened! I recommend this video to ANYONE new to BJJ. Keep the videos coming brother.
Hey Chewy! Can you please make a video addressing that workout you did that morning?
See as much as possible from different resources, but learn just several stuff. It's good to know that some techniques exist out there in the world
