Hey guys, brand new here. Was wondering if anyone here has been able to learn the system with no gym or partner? Just a grappling dummy maybe?
I am definitely going to give it a go just wondering if anyone had any tips for doing this thing by yourself?
Thanks guys,
Jaime
I should add that i have a background in jiu jitsu. trained at a school for about 4 years that used a curriculum from llyod irvin. I have not been involved in 4 years or so. When i was competing, I was never ranked but I feel confident saying i could compete with any blue belt at the time.
Hello Jamie,
You live in Savannah, GA. I train at 10th Planet in Jacksonville. I think we are about 3 hours or less from each other. If you come to town once a month you can train with us and supplement your training at home on your own. I would recommend that over soley time alone.
Karl,
thanks for that info. I also see on the map there is one in atlanta so not too far either.
Try to find at least one person to drill with. If you can find just one single person you are laughing. Your gf, your brother, the librarian, an mma dude, the postman!
Good luck brother
the librarian and the postman that is great. I dont live near a moon but when I traveler i find one near and go there. Hit a bjj gym and when it open roll train what you watch. Record so you can go over later.Quote:

Try visiting some open mats and making some friends, maybe you can find an another undercover 10p lover ;)
Grappling dummies are a great way to supplement training but it can never replace training with actual humans
@jaimetyler thats awesome bro, im pretty much the same so YOU ARE NOT ALONE :D :cool: :alien:
Did you study how to handle multiple attackers in mister Irvins classes? :cool:
Nice, what grappling dummy do you use?Quote:

I use a blanket, imagining the 4 corners beeing the 4 ends of the torso and a little bit of arms and feet.Quote:

We are doing the same thing. Drill your moves the best you can condition and yes get a dummy man. Professor50 can vouch for the solo and grappling dummy.
I just opened a gym where we do the 10p warm ups and I hope to eventually be under 10p. If you wanna check out a class we have classes 7 days a week, nogi. Stop by anytime, www.constantexpansion.net
How is the training going Jaime? Are you using a dummy or any equipment to drill on?
I don't know Eddie, I'm on vacation and this foam roller is way tougher than anyone I've rolled with. Dang thing just never taps and I keep gassing outQuote:

I have a couple of ideas on construction of one for training aids like torso type.
I started BJJ 6months ago. when I 1st started I bought a 10x10 mat on Offer up and hosted open mats at my place with my boy's. now ever since then been going to open mats at BJJ gyms around my area. until I finally 10th planet Miami showed up. Just go and get on the mats.
