BJJ Experiment

get a bigger mat, so you can power roll without cracking your head on the concrete.

lol I just started rolling in my garage this week and at the time, they only had one 5x10 in stock at the store. so I bought 4 sets of 6 cheap puzzle pieces along with it(which is what was right under and next to the blue mat). I now have 2 of those blue mats which I put over the puzzle pieces for added cushion. thanks for the concern.

When BJ Penn was learning jiu jitsu he would be taught one technique a day and drill it hundreds of times.

I'd love to see anyone do this for 2.5 years and be as good as BJ Penn was.

theres a difference between being proficient with a set of techniques and being the next bj penn, why dont you start winning some tournaments if you want to prove something so much

easier said than done when I live in a place with one tournament a year and I've only been training for a year, so I missed it this time. I do plan on traveling for tournaments once these holidays are over with.

Six weeks doesn't sound like enough time, Prodigy or not.

I agree that it doesn't sound possible and if I were someone else looking at this, I would think I'm idiot. I get it, I understand and I appreciate that the comments haven't been too harsh. but this is why I need to do this so fast. I think I've found out how to do this and I want to put my theory into action. If it takes me the same amount of time to learn as everyone else who doesn't do what I'm doing, then I'll at least know it's BS and move on with my life.

hey follow your dreams man....do what you want. are you in a bjj school or are you mainly just rolling with your friend in the garage for attempting to master those dvds? i think it'd be best to roll full time at a school and doing this practice after or on the weekend. or hey join 10th planet and skip the process and learn it directly

I appreciate the support! and no, I go to 2 different BJJ schools and bounce around others here and there. there's only 2 days of no gi for both schools, so I only get 4 days a week in. that's why I'm getting the guys from the gyms to come to my house, now that I got more mats. I would love to join a 10th planet school but there are none here. I'd also love to record at the gym, where I can roll with the black belts but I don't want them to think I'm being disrespectful.

don't put a time limit on it, but I don't know how quick you learn anything. I mean I watched the mastering the rubber guard DVD like 3 times and I'm putting almost every move on it to use somehow. You practice ONE technique for like 3 hours you can pretty much master the move if you know what your doing. It's kind of stupid to practice a move you already know inside out forever and ever. It's just motions there are no mythical techniques you unlock after practicing them over and over for years and years.

I think you have a good idea here. I dont necessarily think you will come out having all the moves perfected. but if you put the time into it you will be TONS better. Me and my friend did a similar experiment 2 months before he went to the army. He knew they were going to learn some jiujitsu so we decided to train everyday for the 2 months before he left. And id guess we never went less than 6 hours a day. We would work one move every couple days. and the first 2 hours was us doing that same move OVER and OVER until it was muscle reflex. then the next two hours was grappling without submissions. we would just roll and work for dominate position. Then finally the last 2 hours we would free-roll. Now i wouldnt say either of us were anywhere close to winning world tournaments, but id guess he went from a white belt who knew almost nothing, to a decent blue belt. but if you do this and you dont go in winning any world tournaments, id still be curious to see someone do this for say a year or two. i think given that much time. And also as a side note, that was the first time i got into 10thplanet system also. While i was teaching him certain moves, i was repping 10th planet moves to see how i liked it. And i must say once i really got the hang of it, i fell in love. But that may just be because im not very strong, but i am really flexible. So the rubber guard seemed perfect for me.
