If you are really serious about BJJ and have the means to pay tuition fees at a legit BJJ school that's really what you should be doing. Even if you have a couple friends you roll with and you learn off of videos on the net, that can only take you so far. Learning from the Internet is awesome but you have to have good guys to roll against, to learn from, and to try out the techniques you learn from books or the net on. Chances are if you are rolling with other guys that are around your level you aren't going to improve much. The awesome thing about enrolling at a BJJ school, other than the instruction you will recieve, is that there is going be guys there that are so much better than you it will make you feel as though you have no hope at ever becoming good at BJJ; those are the type of environments where you really learn and become proficient at BJJ. Good luck.Quote:

More than likely they were full of beans. Most people are. It is humbling and mentally jarring when you are toyed with and handled like a 12 year old girl by a BJJ black belt. The experience cannot be explained but it's both soul crushing and inspiring at the same time. I invite you to search for it.Quote:

This was a big setback because arm bars are the most common submission
from the guard. I asked Jean Jacques what to do, and he told me that when
grappling with a larger or stronger opponent I shouldn't attempt to lock out
his arm while lying on my back. Instead, I should use the control I had on my
opponent's arm to sweep him. (etc etc etc to spiderweb) The success I had
with this position (Spiderweb) helped me realize just how important it was
not to simply jump into a submission all at once. If I had continued jumping
into the arm bar from the guard and hoping for the best, I never would have
realized that there was another option available."
Thought that was appropriate here, and may be helpful.

Ok thank u jitsu gods , I have never rolled with anyone of worth and Yall know this without a doubt so u must be,omnipotent I came here expecting something different than regurgitated words of wisdom from every high Lvl bjj guy I've made eat those words. I'm gonna do Yall a favor and never post here in the realm of superiority again , but u know were I am (its,in my profile) and I have never passed up a challenge , but I have definitely had people back out of them thanx ,good morning, and if I don't see ya ,,good afternoon ,good evening ,and good night (truman show ) and if ur getting handled like a lil girl by someone who isn't twice ur size u might wanna get a book ,pamphlet or seminar on jits then check ur hand mirror to see if ur sideways smile is still there
oh how sad :( i guess the only thing i can add is.. good riddance
What high level BJJ guys have you crushed???? I would love to hear the backstory of you dominating some "high level" legit jiu jitsu player with the throwup armbar. This has got to be a troll.
