I Got Submitted By The Skinny Guy (Looks Are Deceiving In BJJ)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The other day I was talking with one of my Blue Belts and White belts after training and we were talking about competitions. We got into the subject of weight, size and the look of people. The White Belt shared a bit of worry and intimidation about the size of potential people at his weight class.
And as I'll share in the video looks can be deceiving in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions and in general. In some cases I've gotten worked up over someone's overall appearance only to beat them handedly then other times I've taken someone too lightly because they look physically weak. . . and then they rip my head off.
I shared this story because it's something many of us do and I was curious if you do it as well and so I'd be curious to hear your experiences in the comments.
Thanks for watching and look forward to seeing your feedback.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
It's cause of doing jiu jitsu i've stopped being scared of big guys and now i am scared of everyone :)
Ahahahhaha thank you for this comment
Haha 😂
Lmao
As Joe Rogan called them in his podcast with John Danaher, Nerd Assassins. 🤣
LOL
The first person I ever rolled against was a skinny 65 year old brown when I was 16. I was a powerlifter back then so I thought "I can bench over 300 pounds, I'm gonna crush this old man. He said "take it easy on me, I'm old" and proceeded to ruthlessly beat the hell out of me for the entire round. I fell in love with the sport that day.
Haha we’ve all his this type of experience that made us a believer. Mine was with a nice-as-pie young girl with a Swedish accent.
@@soldieroftruth77 Jealous!
Same thing happened to me today I went against this old dude who was way bigger then me and he told me go easy on me I’m old and proceeds to sub me 5 times
😂
Do be careful rolling with old guys though. They might still have their old man strength but their joints are usually insanely stiff and can break easily and they might never come back even from a minor injury.
Some old guys like to go hard and keep up with the young guys but it’s best to keep your ego in check and just be really careful about preserving them because they are a rare breed. I usually just give back a bit less than what they give me and try be pretty gentle without being patronising
Tiny bean pile of a guy in our gym with the most ridiculous flexibility you’ve ever seen. I have simply lost count of the amount of times he’s tapped me with a gogoplata. He also has a pair of flip flops designed to look like he’s wearing fish, he calls them fishflops; yes looks are incredibly deceiving in this sport😅
Hahaha that guy awesome
Lol gg
Hahaha tell him to never change real people are awesome
Dude there is a guy at our gym with the same flip flops! He also has a rash guard and pants that are covered in fish lol
That guy is literally me, wka cuyhoga falls? Fish flops flexible? Havent done jiu jitsu in years now
Yes. Last AGF we had some kid in No Gi who was 14 years old. Im 25. Skinny guy and very soft spoken......we all lost 😅
😂 I’ve seen that happen before
Theres a kid in my gym thats 15 or 16 but hes a killer
Usually those kids have been training since they were 3-4 years old. I've seen a few child prodigies in my day too when I used to live and train in Maryland. One kid was either the State wrestling champ or runner up AND he was very good at JiuJitsu and he trained under a Judo blackbelt who was an Olymic qualifier. My own kids started training JiuJitsu at age 3, my daughter who's 6 has been training for 3 years now.
I think all of us who have been training longer then 2 seconds have been submitted by the skinny guy/s in the gym
What? No way.
Literally Ryan Hall in UFC
Ryan hall isn’t skinny though.
@@jamespratt7627 Well he is like 145 lbs in the featherweight division, that’s pretty skinny. Compared to most other fighters, he looks scrawny.
@@jamespratt7627 he is
@@jamespratt7627 he's small even by featherweight standards
I usually submit everyone. My secret technique is to ask the other guy to roll gently. But then I go 2,000%. Always works!!
hahahahaha!
😂
Not all heroes wear capes! 👍🏾👍🏾😂😂😂
Sun tzu would be proud
That's not only in BJJ, that applies everywhere.
special ops guys are super unassuming
No it's not everywhere don't be stupid in boxing if you put someone who weight 60kg with someone who weight 90kg we both know who's gonna go to the hospital and even in wrestling there is no fk skinny guy can beat down someone so much bigger
I love seeing this happen. The one time that really stands out is when I was probably 1 1/2yrs in or so and we had a UFC viewing party. It was some of my friends that never trained along with 2 of my friends from BJJ. One of the guys was a big power lifter that just started training with us, while the other guy was a 5'-7" unassuming, always smiling and joking around, not in the best shape... black belt in BJJ and TKD.
At one point both guys left the room for something and my friends go "OMG you train with him?! He's a mountain! He's so damn big I can't believe it you must get crushed!" I said "Forget him! You do realize Chris could murder any of us and the rest would be stuck watching right?" They just didn't understand it how the little guy is so much more dangerous than the big intimidating guy.
The other side of deceiving looks is the old-guy-jiu-jitsu. They've become hyper efficient and submit with as little movement as possible. - Arm bars from bottom turtle position etc.
And, "old man strength" is an actual thing...
Not able to move for three days also 😄
@@haroldlee4037 aka dad strength.
@@haroldlee4037 I once heard that explained as a combination of knowing exactly how to use their strength efficiently combined with a "I've run out of fucks to give" attitude to pain...
Continue yo love your videos. I recommend these videos to both BJJ friends and non Bjj friends as well. Your upbeat answers are inspiring and I thank you for that.
Thanks brother.
When I first started BJJ I went up against 140pounder skinny guy and he told me that my strength wasn't going to help me one bit and he was right he made me into a Prestel.
Idk man, I haven't had too much trouble at 205.
@@ACIIIL_extracts-zr5wz haha maybe either that or my gym is of lesser skill, I'll record someday and start doing content on it, just feel weird asking other people if I can record them haha
@@BeingBrian I’m 116 and the second lightest in are gym is 140
Man that guy was sorta rude hey? Lol
This is so true. I'm new to bjj three months in and I'm 5'9 around 200 lbs and In the locker room I was talking to a nerdy, unassuming guy with a really sweaty and light handshake. Turns out he's a 3 stripe brown belt, and he totally annihilated me. Within 5 mins I probably tapped like 7-8 times! I love this sport!
Hahaha... I am CONSTANTLY underestimated. To the point of making a "daisy fresh beef" video describing my last experience.
😂 fresh beef.
100% truth.. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
This applies to many different areas of life, and fully resonates with my experiences in jiu jitsu over the years. I'm not a very big guy (5'7 160lbs) but I've done well against people much larger than me, and also have gotten my ass kicked by people much smaller than me! 🤙🏼
I had my first competition at JJWL in Fullerton two weeks ago. You're exactly right! The guy who smashed all of us and got gold was the nice unassuming lanky guy. He sparked up a good conversation with me in the bullpen. I was his first fight, he got me locked in a solid triangle on his second attempt and he went on to do that same technique to the biggest strongest looking guy who was way more intimidating at face value. Goes to show you that looks can be deceiving!
“Fight me if you must, but remember I am old for a reason.”
I’m a skinny guy and I submit no one. What’s this guys secret?
PEDs.
@@iorekby lol
git gud
keep training
You're not skinny. You're cute, built good.
I genuinely think BJJ is legit one of the only martial arts where the small dude can literally beat the big dude.
Said the small white belt... but the big purple belt had other plans
@@JB_58008 facts man me and this guy are the same belt but he has 70 pounds on me so I couldn’t get him off me
I'm a tall lanky 180lber. Most of the guys I go against in comps in my division are shorter, stocky dudes. They might have me in pure power, but I have the long legs to offset their balance very easily. My spider guard can make people look like clowns with the way I can manipulate them. Moral of the story, use your strengths against their weaknesses.
I'm a 275 lb, no stripe white belt, former bouncer, and once in a roast session someone told me "you look like a retired powerlifter". My gym is full of killers all shapes/sizes and it always baffles me when a smaller three stripe blue belt will finish a tough roll with a high level brown belt and then look at me, half-dead after losing to some other white belt, and say "if we roll I need to start on your back because you're so much bigger than me I don't stand a chance otherwise".
That’s lame! When I roll w/ the 280lb guy it’s just like any other roll, stand or sitting.
140lbs brown belt here... my two cents of unsolicited advice - do your best to become the giant in the room that all the small, technical people feel safe rolling with. Even very experienced upper belts may reasonably fear injury because of your size. Use the training time with smaller people to learn to flow WITH their movement as opposed to resisting them and imposing your physicality. Here’s the catch - you’ll end up tapping more, but the payoff is that your learning rate will skyrocket and everyone will want to roll with you instead of trying to quietly avoid training with you. Best of luck on your journey, brother.
I roll with dudes twice my size all the time and I've never been injured once. I'm also a three stripe purple belt so I can always hold my own. I never ask anyone to start in my guard or their guard before a round. We either train standing or from the knees.
Oh hell ya Chew. I did Judo for a long time before bjj got big. I was at the sac Open and some little guy walked out and foot sweeped his opponent so calm and fast it blew my mind.
People who have never trained are completely ignorant to how truly vulnerable they really are. Lots of guys are intimidated by guys that "act tough" and commonly are covered in tattoos, have a shaved head, a giant puffy beard or goatee and are often loud and obnoxious, esp with their laughing. In reality, this person is often not that tough at all and it's the humble, quiet guy, that's been training for years thats the most capable of causing serious damage. Often times the loud obnoxious types also live unhealthy lifestyles and drink, smoke and in general just don't take of themselves. And bc theyre often so cocky, they're close minded, don't listen to others bc they think they're smarter than others, so as a result they don't progress nearly as quick as the humble open minded healthy guy that truly is like a sponge and learns everything you show him.
I learned a long time ago that the guy telling you he's an undefeated street fighter who has "knocked out so many people" is almost always compensating in one way or another. The last guy that told me he knocks everyone out bc he's so big (6' 210lbs) was so cocky he let me put him in side control and said JiuJitsu wouldn't work on him. I remember securing his arm and he made eye contact w me and said "am I supposed to feel it now" w a smirk on his face, I said "okay I'm gonna try to submit you now, you resist and try to get out" I proceeded to use one of my best techniques (a Braulio Estima) Kimura trap and after securing and isolating his arm, transitioning to a Kimura, he got to his knees and the turtle position, but I quickly threw my leg over his head and locked up the Kimura, after applying the submission of course he tapped out within seconds, then he sat down on the hotel room chair (this was in a hotel room we were sharing) and he couldn't believe what just happened. "How did you do that?" is what he said, I just said "it's all about the technique and applying leverage" ... "my two arms and entire body VS your one arm." Some people are so stubborn they just have to learn the hard way before they'll even begin to acknowledge the power of technique and JiuJitsu.
In my experience it's usually the bigger stronger guys that are the most resistance bc theyre so used to over powering people smaller than them, they refuse to accept the fact that there are 100% people smaller and weaker than them, who can absolutely dominate them due to being a better, more knowledgeable and experienced grappler.
As a 64 year old 150# blue belt in judo, tossed a 200# + guy, twice. Same guy had just taken double gold in a regional competition, heavy weight, and open, classes. Surprised me more than anyone.
I’m the skinny nerd in this story.
At my school, we do drilling with a partner, then that partner is our first roll. One day, my partner was a strong man of some sort. The ENTIRE time we drilled, he said how light I was for him, how he could squat 2 of me and bench press 47 of me (I can’t remember exactly), how helpful strength was and how basically impossible it was for him to ever be submitted by someone who wasn’t as strong as him.
I swept him, and decided to smother him from mount for 4 mins and 30 seconds, while he completely exhausted himself trying to escape, such that he sat out the next round. Strange fellow.
Dude, I'm 6'2 and 206lbs. I rolled with a tall, lanky kid in training. He must have been no more than 140lbs and he nearly put me to sleep with a RNC. I was shocked by his speed and strength, I fought out and escaped but it's the last time I'll ever underestimate anybody in a roll again! Facts.
Similarly to your story, my first tournament was in a big warehouse gym with an octagon. After winning my division I qualified to go into absolute which happened in the octagon in front of everyone. Looking around at all the 200+ jacked guys I knew I was about to get smashed!
They finally called my name and another name I hadn’t heard. Up walked a short skinny kid and I thought to myself, thank the Lord! I got over confident and went for a sloppy takedown and got IMMEDIATELY arm barred. Super humbling experience for me! Lesson learned.
Chewwww. I just got my Chew Jitsu ranked rash guard! Fits awesome and im soooo ready to try it out! Thank you so much brochacho!!! My wife was like "Who's Nick?" 😂😂😂😂
skinny guys are used to rolling against people bigger than them 99% of the time
Started training at 10th planet as a white belt about a month ago and im super psyched...69th like btw so noicer
Hi Chewy, I had my 7th class today and still going strong. Thanks for your videos, they've given me lots of encouragement to get into this.
I'm the skinny guy, I wear glasses, friendly, nerdy, quiet, get intimidated by the ripped looking tough guys, but I usually win my brackets at the local tournaments
I first learned this wrestling in high school. Seeing the most unassuming guys that were state champs and seeing the most bad ass looking guys that just weren't that good.
I'm a tiny
My current issue is I am too small for my weight class, and too big for my frame. I started BJJ in July 2020, and I was 235 lbs, I am now around 200. I competed this past weekend at 195, every person in my bracket was taller and had more muscle. I won my first match and lost the next 2, took 4th. But I could feel the difference in strength.
Current goal is to put on more muscle and continue to slim down to 185.
I am also thinking about entering a competition in the fall. Any advice. Love your videos.
I went to support a buddy in a submission only tournament recently. This one lanky, skin & bones guy comes out in KITTY CAT compression pants and proceeded to mop the floor with his opponent, maintaining full control the whole match and ending with a triangle IIRC. Beware... when a guy has the confidence to wear KITTY CAT COMPRESSION PANTS into a sub-only tournament, they are the one to watch!
The same thing just happened to me literally a month ago. I’ve only been training for about 3 months and was doing really good. surviving when I was rolling but I wasn’t subbing anybody. I’m not really technically savvy like I wanna be I’m just really strong and rely on my strength to survive. But anyways I tapped a blue belt on a day we were going live and felt really cocky. so I saw this kid who was a purple belt and looked weak asf I’m talking nerdy asf if I saw this guy on the street I would fs think he’s a wimp. So I walk up to him shake his hand and say “you ready to get subbed by a white belt” he just laughed then I shot a double leg on this kid and slammed him on the ground pretty hard he said “thank you” and caught my arm in a sub so fast. I didn’t tap tho like an idiot I should have but the day after I couldn’t extend my arm. for about a week it was so tight. Anyways I learned my lesson and understand that there’s levels to this sport and I gotta lot of work to do 😂
lol that reminds me that a few classes ago this new guy came into the gym and said he hasn't trained at a gym yet but has been rolling some with his friends in like a gracie garage scenario. I'm a blue belt and we're close to the same size but I'm nerdy and don't look physically imposing at all. The entire class when he got there, he kept trying to explain things to me about how the techniques the coach was showing me worked and what to do even though I wasn't having any trouble at all and I got the impression that he thought I needed help or wasn't as knowledeable as he was but I didn't say anything and didn't really care all that much. Well when it came time to roll and I got paired with him about the third round of the day, again, he seemed like he tried to go into teacher mode a little bit. I just started rolling and got into mount over and over again. He was explosive so he'd get out for a second, then I'd move and get right back into it. I always go easy on the white belts initially so I wasn't attacking subs particularly hard, just going slow and methodically. He gassed in about 40 seconds into our roll, lol xD.
This was the end of the class so I kept rolling with him and another white belt back to back as they got tired. Even though I was dead tired myself, they kept commenting that they couldn't do anything to me even though I wasn't taking any breaks. I thought the whole thing was hilarious.
Dude what why you slamming people in the rolling session its not even a spar. You need to learn discipline and actually care about the technique. It honestly kinda sounds like someone needs to slam you so you get enforced
@@supahotfire2527 we train hard at my gym I’m not picking him up and literally slamming him I was saying when i shot the double he hit the ground hard and honestly he pulled back and welcomed the takedown so stfu tough internet guy
@@williamdickenson9514 if anything you sound like tough internet dude I'm just saying dont be so douchey, you are literally acting like a movie jock
@@supahotfire2527 damn you must hate ur life tryna argue on the internet about a situation that you know nothing about 😂
In my second tournament I psyched myself out against my opponent because he was short and super muscular. Ended up easily tapping him with the same move in gi and no gi. I uploaded the video if anyone is curious, they have like 50 views after 5 years so I’m not peddling for views.
ehhh idk if I would say that guy was super muscular
my bad watched the wrong match.
I saw the vid and that was a very nice performance👍🏻👍🏻
I am saying this in the most non- ego way possible. But one competition I ended up on the other side of this type of story. It was a pretty big bracket and we were all pretty stocky solid guys. And there were two dudes that were not all that much to look at. I ended up in the finals with one of them and I remember not watching him roll at all because I thought he would be eliminated anyway. Well much to my surprise there he is in the finals with me. I ended up taking the win barely. I remember being very tired and I barely got the submission I think it was a not a bow and arrow but one of those back choke things. LOL. Well this kid comes and tells me afterwards that when he was looking at everyone in the division when they called us to the table before we started that he had said to himself "i Hope i dont go against that guy". Lol I asked him why he felt that way and he said it was the physical appearance. Back then I had the big muscles and he referred to my overlapping caveman looking eyebrows LMAO and that I just had a look on my face like I was mad at the world and ready to kill someone LOL. Another funny thing about that day is that I really did not do so well. I think I went 5 times and got two submissions and the others were Points. And the points wins were barely by like two or three points. We ended up having a really good laugh about it and I ultimately ended confessing that I did not think very much of him because he looked like he was an easy win 😂😂😂 ended up cross training w him a few times although he lives 4 hrs away. He is very skilled and of course improved very much or maybe it's because we were no longer in a competition setting and we were more relaxed so we got to give each other some awesome ass-kickings in the gym. Just me 3 cents👊👊👊😜 like the old saying goes don't judge a book by its first page. Just kidding just kidding cover
@@ACIIIL_extracts-zr5wz hahaha i have noone to talk to so i come to youtube
World and rant
Ryan hall is a prime example of this
JUST HAD MY FIRST TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY
Congrats! When I had my first tournament not too long ago, the moments before the first fight were the scariest moments I had ever.
Two people come to mind, we have a 5’5 150lb professor who is the takedown instructor also. He’s like a flying squirrel and will murder everyone. Second is a 16 year old blue belt like 130, I’m a 31 year old 190lb dude and he beats the crap outta me every time.
My first class (nogi) I was paired with this guy who was buff as hell. He beat the shit outta me, which was to be expected. But for my next sparring roll, I was paired with a chick, slightly chubby, and probably 35 pounds lighter than me. I immediately though "nice, finally I get a chance". She subbed me 5 times that roll, not even trying. Embarassing as hell, since I was pretty strong at the time and lifted regularly, but also the reason I got hooked.
One name: Ryan Hall.
First let’s gooo 🙏🏽🙏🏽oss chewy
I just don't have any competitive drive when rolling with smaller people . I just let them get dominant positions and work on defense from deep positions .
I always think it would be fun, when you have new students, to have everyone take off their belts before the students come in. Then, have the new students rank the people based on who they feel is the most scary looking / toughest / best. I always imagine the nerds and 40 year old dad purple / brown belts being put so far behind the young ripped 23 year old white belts.
You do kinda get the same thing when you drop in no-gi. Unless people talk before a roll, I'm never sure how hard to go because there is no real indicator (I do look at ears) about who I'm about to roll with.
I love the clap at the end syncing with the music haha
I love Chewy's videos!
it work on the other side too , have this dude came to my gym , with tatoo , so riped. I tough he was a legendary red belt from the realms of Mizabuto Mishumika ... i have roll with him with a lot of anxiety on the beginning ... he was a white belt on his first class ...
I had a similar situation when I was a White Belt. I'll have to do a comment reply video on this one.
@@Chewjitsu hey chewy !! sometime the mind play tricks a lot , need to really roll to feel where he is at ,cause by the look , it gets tricky because we espect what we fear the most , like ghost hunter , they look for ghost but there is no ghost , but in their mind ...... same with this red belt !
This guy at my gym is a lot smaller than me, and probably about 25kg lighter, and he can seriously catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention. He is nicknamed 'The Honey Badger' lol, great guy.
In my first competition I decided to go up to super heavy weigh division because there was only two people in my weigh class. My second match was against a gut who was 290 and I weighed in that day at 204. I beat him by 6 points 😂😂I could believe it myself
This guy years ago came in and he was a fully tatted up power lifter about 5,10 300lbs. After rolling he signed up for classes. He said, "If the skinny guy with glasses can tap me over and over in a round, this shit obviously works." BJJ has nothing to do with appearance or if your some athletic freak(that can help however). The mind controls the rest of the body, our stresses, actions and reactions. When the mind can perform steps ahead of the opponent, the effects of the strength and size diminish greatly inside of combat/grappling.
Older Skinny guy here! I’m still waiting for the day i can crush anyone!
I hear you, brother!
Oh man I had a teammate who had BJ Penn flexibility and dexterity in his legs (obvs). You could not hold him down. Anytime you thought you had him this f-bomb foot came out of nowhere and wedge in there somehow and separated the space all pins man…Was wild lol
Great info
Thanks
As the skinny dude in the gym, I do see my advantages. For one, flexibility comes easy for me, what I’m still learning how to use is my weight and strength as pressure. As only 130lbs rolling with 160-180ers in my gym I kinda have no choice but to use technique and flexibility rather than weight and strength. Granted I am working on learning how to use my weight as pressure, and where to use the strength I have etc. quite a challenge but I wouldnt have it any other way.
Yea, I was at a comp and faced a kid that was 17. He looked young too, not a 17 year old with a beard. Turns out he's been training since he was 8 in Brazil and almost immediately got me in a flying armbar. Shortest match I've ever been in. Cool kid, I wasn't ashamed of that one.
For me it's always the ones from other countries. Always scrappy and you never know their training history. Polish guy, Serbian, and of course this Russian.
So true…take me back to the early 90’s when I was sure that square-jaw’d tank was gonna demolish me and I TKO’d him, whereas the tall skinny dude I wasn’t worried about kicked my butt…
I started out around 154 at white belt...got depressed and had a dui. Lost 38lbs, dropped to 116, and came back to jj at white belt. Now I'm a 138lb brown belt.. I dont know if I even like Jiu-Jitsu anymore lmfao
I hope to be this guy. I'm usually the smallest guy in the gym and even the women are often bigger than me.
Black belt at our place, Rick. Probably 55 years old, 5’9” 155lbs, glasses, super cool dude, and the strongest pound for pound man I’ve ever seen. Like rolling with an anaconda. If you saw him walking down the street you’d think “I could kick that guys ass” hahahaha nope!
Thanks for making videos!
Glad you like them!
It's the guys that look like they play D&D in their grandmothers basement. :)
I’m a guy who weighs like 125 ibs :)
Yup, 5’10 145lbs. Big guys are usually easier to submit. Bigger bodies require more blood for energy, tires faster.
At my 2nd competition, I entered the absolutes. There were people of all different shapes, sizes and stripes about. I had only been training for about 4 months at this time and was nervous. Talking to everyone eased my nerves a bit. After getting destroyed in my weight category, the absolutes were next. I saw the chap that beat me and won the middleweight division get eliminated in round 1 of the absolutes... It was at that moment I knew, I ****ed u. Big and small were in the absolutes that year, but that podium was full of heavy or superheavyweights
Wait wait wait... Hard2Hurt travelled through time and he responded to this video... 3 months ago???
My coach always says "If looks could kill I would be dead"
Do you have your students do demonstrations-can you do a video on your thoughts?
Mikey Musumeci is the ultimate example
When I was still fairly new to BJJ I was at my gym's open mat and this lanky 15 year old with a green belt asked if I wanted to roll and I thought I was going to cream the dude, boy was I wrong.
I'm the skinny purple belt. I can hold my own but I'm always battling nagging injuries.
How skinny is skinny?
Nicolas A skinny
I am the big guy everyone is intimidated by.
In a slow, gentle teddy bear most of the time too. Hehehehe
I've only recently been able to defend against 66kg guys (purple belts against my white)...
So very true! Ty chwey!
Thinking about trying my first competition. Little /A lot nervous and doubt myself bu all my upper belts say yes. Do it ! 44 yrs old 190
Find a competition with a masters division and jump in with some other older guys. It'll be fun.
I’m going to be Nick for Halloween, just got to grow my beard for 10 years and I’ll be there
preach it Chewy!
I was 135 and the first lesson I ever learned in BJJ was don’t judge a book by it’s cover super nice feminine male second grade teacher I would have sworn I could hurt that dude in a fight on the street played with me like I was a kid and he was smaller than me. And Iv taught that lesson more often than I can count
So true
I was watching this Kid that looked like Steve Urcle
he was destroying everything on site
😂
jujitsu black belts are like real life humans with super powers, especially when you watch then spar with 30 under belts and submit each and everyone of them. I got this lanky old dad at my Church that I never knew was a black belt with his white hair and very kindly attitude, (I'm just a blue belt BTW) until I was asking another of the younger Church member if he wanted to practice jujitsu he then informed me of that lanky dad guy and I introduced myself and since he sees me all the time asked if I wanted to practice at his place since he has mats, man was he very technical and you wouldn't even think just by looking at him that he could kill you lol especially since I always see him and thought I could mess up all the guys that go to Church lol Oh he also mentioned that he trains with one of the priests and the priest I believe is a brown belt lol
Rolled with an older guy back at my old gym. I only ever saw him this one time. He was meek lookin. Sun tanned skin, stained teeth, double ugly. (haha!) We started standing, wrist fought for maybe 5 seconds, and as soon as he caught my wrist I realized the guy had other worldly grip strength. I assume my face showed my surprise cause he smiled real quick right before pulling me in tight for a throw. It was helluva roll. I worked for every damn inch I could and somehow managed not to get subbed. After the roll I asked him what he did for a living. Turns out, he was a farm hand and an amateur bull rider.....
Saw a ripped jacked guy with 5 years under his belt tapped 4 or 5 times in a round by a 110lb max 14 year old. 'He's so slick... he's like a snake you can't grab him without him slipping away somewhere.' Atleast a 70lb difference.
One time training at a gym… this happened to me… very skinny tall guy didn’t think much about…. Boy was I wrong…
100% true!
Sometimes competition might be the only place I can roll with somebody not 50 or more lbs heavier than me...if I get beat at least I know it's better JJ technique than me, not size and strength...
Coming from a thin guy, I think that's what makes it fun right?
Most of the guys that have obliterated me on the mat were guys that didn't "look tough" at all.
got my first comp the 12 of June(white belt) so fucking excited, would love to see a vid bout making a game plan cuz truth be told 4 days out my mind is a blank I can tend to be the type of person who does well mid roll in the moment so I'm conflicted if I should have a game plan and if so how rigid should I be to stick to said plan mid roll.
IBJJF Atlanta? As a white belt in your first comp, don't worry about a gameplan just listen for your coach's voice and follow his step-by-step instructions. The whole match will be a blur and seem to last about 30 seconds. If you haven't already developed and drilled a gameplan for a couple of weeks leading up to the tourny, there's no way you'll remember it during the match.
@@BJaden incase you were interested I lost all 3 by sub but won morally bucause of all the fun I had and how much I learned, that being said I deffinitly shoukd'nt have come into the fight trying to make myself angry, and you were right about the entire match seems to be a haze I did'nt remember what I did until I watched the video went by so fast.
Men, I roll with a guy that look 20kg lighter than me. I was thinking, thank god, I surely won't get submitted by this dude, lol, he got me a rear neck choke 15 seconds after, and just started playing with me like a was a lifeless dummy.
The guys you have to worry about the most are the stinky guys, their smell alone will choke you out
What if you train at 2 schools and get promoted at one .. does the second school honor that promotion?
You learn skinny guys are good with triangles real quick😭
The popularity of Jiu Jitsu in the US was literally started because of a skinny guy (Royce Gracie) submitting much bigger guys. You act like this is a surprising concept. It's literally how this all started 😂
Bro tall skinny guys in kickboxing are the worst to be against.
I’m tall and skinny

Damn I’m that big tough looking guy😂😂 but I’m nerdy as shit outside of the gym
