I've learned to tap early and tap as soon as I'm in any awkward position-period. It's taken me a long time for me to figure that one out. Training is much more fun and I'm able to avoid getting injured by your strong "spazy" white/blue belts. Especially against those types that just yank away after watching a Ryan leg lock video.

There's also a myth in BJJ of chilled out gyms. There are more competitive gyms sure, but no gym is ever really super chilled with everyone usually. There's always at least 1 or 2 knuckle heads out there going way too hard and too clumsy that wreck people.

I'm a 47 year-old BJJ brown belt and young, hyper aggressive newbies are nothing new. They look at anyone with a higher belt than them as a pelt they can hang on their proverbial wall. They've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I don't have a problem with it (I was that kid once), but if you really want to take the starch out of them and feed em some humble pie, nothing wears someone out more than a solid top pressure game. Just get on top and slowly crush the life out of them, the best submissions in these situations are any slow choke (head and arm choke, Ezekiel choke, cross choke, papercutters etc). They begin to re-evaluate their life decisions after spending some time in the iron coffin.

I think it is a totally normal thing that he uses his strength as he has obviously been very little training.

of course it's only normal for a white belt to go full force. they don't necessarily want to test YOU in particular - they're testing bjj, essentially. does it really work? can the guy truly beat me even if i give it all i've got? or is it like ; ) and they're perfectly within their rights to do so. why would they take it for granted that it's legit? what's problematic is when they've already got a few months of training under their belt, got their proof, and yet they're still in the berserk mode. because a) it's a recipe for injuries (both theirs and their partners'), b) they're not really developing any game if they keep on spazzing out for this reason tiring them out isn't just a (correct) way to beat them, but also to help them grow, since getting them to gas out forces them to slow down and start thinking in terms of technique just my two cents. nice roll man!

Great video. Great narration. This happens a lot and not just with white belts. Those young, nimble blue belts with some decent technique can be annoying as well. I tell the guys I refuse to use much strength as that would only mean I am incapable of using my jiu jitsu.

Do whatever you need to, to protect your neck! We need to spar with this type at least once in a while to realize how the untrained will react. As you already know. Thank you for watching!

TBH, I'd say working from your guard on more of a defensive strategy, gives you more time and planning for countering a rushed offense; plus I think it also gasses him out, so now with his strength and stamina spent, it comes down to technique and ability.

He didn’t seem overly aggressive at all. He was doing exactly what he was supposed to do having limited knowledge of the art. I’ve trained with overzealous partners. Wild elbows and knees have left me with plenty of black eyes and busted lips. I liked that young kid’s style, I’d love training with him.

I never said overly aggressive. :). Agreed. I like training with Chris!

I wrestled in High School, Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate programs. I found that wrestling helps me to relax and think about strategy while fighting with another wrestler. I then apply some of those same techniques in developing a plan of attack to solve a technical problem. I suppose the same can be true with other quick-action sports strategies.

He wasn’t going easy at all! Nice control and clinic put on the youngster, maestro!

Ha thank you!

Don't let go of the leg when you do a tripod sweep. Keep the grip and do a technical standup. If you let go, your opponent will be able to get up and at that point the fastest wins.

Yep. It’s my favorite sweep. Thank you for watching. :)

I am a white belt right now whos 20 years old , just started for 2 and a half months. When I was starting I was just as crazy and aggressive as this guy, which didn't work out for me as I progressed. When I started to be more methodical, it changed my game immensely I finally started getting great sweeps and even some submissions on my more experienced training partners, the fact that I was surviving these rolls and being spending most of the round in more dominant positions like side control and mount really just showed my self I cant just rely on my strength and agility, I actually started to think about the roll like it was chess or some kind of game that required thought. Loving jiu jitsu and definitely love seeing videos like this.

Amazing to see and useful, thanks man!

White belt syndrome. If you're less skilled, I guess it's natural to use athleticism since you can't match in skill. This type of aggression is easier to tame in any type of striking; one nice shot to the face will slow down reckless abandonment.

Great video. I'm 30, but brand new and relate to this younger guy. You have a very smooth style and I feel like I can learn a lot.

The north-south belt tie is just so pure. bless his cotton Gi.

I’m also a 51 year old purple belt. I feel your pain, they never go easy! 🤙🏻

That was the best BJJ video I have seen. So much in so short of time. No BS. Fantastic! Awesome to watch you handle him. Credit to you both. I am a fan.

That must be so humbling for him. Good stuff.

This is truly awesome to see. I just started BJJ this past week and enjoyed it thus far. Did wrestling throughout high school. However, this is entirely different beast.

Love this format of video

Excellent technique and strategy!

So good to hear your commentary and how you note the ways in which you have to adjust. For example, you had to be sneaky with the Americana since he would muscle out of it if you telegraphed it. As a really small unathletic white belt who often struggles against less experienced guys 45 to 65 lbs heavier than me (and more energetic) it’s just helpful to hear that. 😊

I know this is hard to believe BUT all the answers are in the Jiu-jitsu. It is just harder to find those answers when we are less athletic or older. When you catch people by surprise off a dilemma you will be surprised who you could submit.

Definitely subbed! I’m trying to learn lessons vicariously through this KZread BJJ space. I’m 2 weeks into training, but I’m a former HS wrestler and pro football player. I can pin the avg man down with one hand, not even exaggerating. I’m not super young, 32, but am as strong as ever (can press 315 for like 15). I’ve been going half speed/strength with the guys that I train with but I’m somewhat excited to get good enough to enter a comp and not hold back. Much respect for these vids, they help me mentally prepare to not be too annoying lol love bro!

Good to hear this kind of experience, I just started (3 months ago) and I am realizing that I may be too aggressive when I roll. I will have to ask for feedback from the guys. I don't mind to be tapped, I just want to survive a bit longer than last time. Even 5 seconds more is an accomplishment for me :D

Great video man thanks for teaching chris we all need someone to bring the next person up like we had when we started

I use to train at a really good gym back in the day. Unfortunately it closed down. Then I tried a new one. I rolled with the stand-in instructor at the time who was a brown belt. He, though very skilled, was on the weaker side so I brute force tapped him and he called me unsportsmanlike. I was just starting, exhausted, and rolling with the teacher. It was pure survival instinct. I never went back. Bad experience.

He could have handled it better. This is the difference between an instructor and a serious professor. They have to know how to handle a variety of situations. Guys going to hard. Or people getting into egotistical driven confrontations.

You are not only a roxa, you're almost a brown belt. Thats a lot of experience and time on the mat. Respect for you bud, i hope to be purple belt at your age and move me like you. Respect the belt! oss

That white belt is awesome, great job teaching him how to roll.

You will! Just be more thought out and technical. Our bodies may age but our skill is always increasing!

Outstanding Job - love this

That’s awesome. Cool video. Sometimes when I roll with someone aggressive I like to do specific training for myself and just keep moving and not go for any submissions. just tire them out and keep moving through transitions and holding etc.. Eventually they will get tired and want to stop that way. that way they can learn to pace themselves. So pretty much just flowing through positions or resetting back to there guard during mid roll to keep it active and I just pass a bunch of times. That way they feel overwhelmed in a way and realize there’s a smoother way to go slow and fast. Instead of them just getting submitted a bunch of times. Which is both good for them to.
