Nooo

I was promoted to black belt about a month before you started jiu jitsu. I’m usually pretty critical of these kinds of videos but your perspective is pretty spot on.. looks like this was a year ago.. I hope you’re happily rolling towards black.. keep grinding

Congrats on your brown belt. Good advice (especially for older, weaker guys): 1. Roll when tired (build up endurance), 2. Control breathing. 3. Get stronger. I'll add #4: Get more flexible - i.e. stretch. Interesting observation that bigger guys tend to ignore the guard game. Never thought about that.

Thank you, I am new to BJJ and just started my journey at 52 years old. I like your channel you have a good way of explaining things and to watch your journey is cool.

i love how you tell it like it is. too many good points you made, especially about big guys. at the same time, your advice about asking questions is awesome.

This is great info. I came to a lot of these conclusions while soul searching why I didn't get promoted to Brown last week, so it is awesome to hear someone who has been promoted saying these things. In particular my guard game needs work.

Keep them videos coming man, love how transparent you are 💪🏽

Goal setting is such an underrated way to improve your BJJ. We often tell people set micro and macro goals. You want goals that you can achieve in a short period like rolling 3 times in a row or not being submitted by someone. These can help lead to bigger achievements like promotions and winning competitions. Great content man! If you ever want to talk more BJJ we would love to have you on our show!

Getting a brown belt in 6 years is pretty fast. I’ve been a purple belt for 8 years but I took a lot of time off and wasn’t consistent for a long time after I got my purple belt. I’m a bit bigger at 6’3” and currently around 230 lbs and for years I was focused mainly on bodybuilding and not grappling. Now I try and do both at the same time but it’s certainly not easy.

Congrats! love your content, especially the bjj and smooth panther!

Huge congrats on your brown belt. Well earned.

Yes, learned that early in life. Great advice for young ones!

Very insightful - 2 stripe purple old man here - congratulations 🍾 on that well earned brown belt

Congratulations brother! Fellow brown-belt as well. Jiujitsu is like nothing else, but helps with everything else! #neonbelly Drill, drill, drill, and just when you think you’ve got it, DRILL IT AGAIN!!!

I’m only a 2 stripe baby blue belt but have done it for about 2.5 yrs. NOTHING MAKES SENSE is so true lol. As a female who has to roll with men, I have to be technical since I don’t have the strength to overpower a guy. I ALWAYS ASK Qs. I’m loud and proud and don’t mind looking dumb! 🥰 I did MA as a teenager but didn’t dip into BJJ rolling till 2018. I didn’t open roll at the beginning just with the teacher. Now I will roll with anyone who doesn’t try and acid drop me 😂. I have rolled with men who think getting submitted by a woman as “embarrassing”. I avoid those men.

Congratulations on your belt!

Your video was so funny.....the hump part had me crying laughing....you seem like a good guy.

Thank you for making this video Nsima. I would like to see how you set your goals with your coach and how you tracked your progression. Physical notebooks with checklists? Excel sheet?

Haha, nothing that fancy, just trained consistently and started competing

Just started this week and have listened to the Getting Over the Hump episode like 3 times lol

I've been a white belt for about a year now. I'm a bit bigger (6'2, 260-ish, former offensive lineman), I get a lot of false positives from other white belts and some blue belts. I've had to learn to not rely on just blowing out of techniques or having a false sense of security in dangerous positions. I have to set goals during rolls and comps. I'm used to just embracing the chaos.

How do you adapt your lifting for jiu jitsu?

Congrats on your brown belt. I’d like to see more and more bjj content from you. How many days a week do you roll?

@NsimaInyang

3-5 days a week I’m rolling

bro i’d love to hear how you split up your training - whether that’s off-season or when you’re preparing for a competition - it’d be really cool to learn how you balance your lifting, bjj and recovery to optimise your performance

Damn four years at blue?

I can dig it. I really need to have a KZread channel. I like what he's saying... Nice to see people who can lift 1k-1300 lbs...who roll.

How many times do you roll a week? Curious on your jiu jitsu split

Being a weightlifter has been a pretty big advantage so far (just started BJJ). My grip is stronger than all the other white belts

I’m 48. Training since December 2013. Been a purple for six years. Hoping to earn a brown belt sometime soon (before I’m 50). I’m at a school under a Danaher black belt. High standards.

What is your split for Bjj and weight training ?

I commented on your short the other day and now u have a video about a belt promotion. Weird did I ask before or did I cause you to get promoted

The general consensus is that past blue belt there is little added benefit in terms of self defense/mma. Best to focus on wrestling.

Hello Nsima, here a follower from Spain, Europe. One question, I do bjj and weights on the same day (weight training first), do you think I should reserve reps in weight training so it doesn't affect me too much in bjj? How can I grow muscle if I have to train very close to muscle failure without it affecting my bjj performance? Thank you very much and sorry for my English.

@NsimaInyang

Жыл бұрын

You don’t need to go to failure to grow, just close to it. If you do both on the same day, still get some weight training in, but don’t go all out so you can also have a productive bjj training session. If it’s too much to do on the same day, just do it on different days.

I'm a purple belt with 2 strips how long it takes to get my brown belt????

How many times per week were you training!?

4: 24 best advice !

Id like to see how others are working out and doing bjj. I'm lifting 3x week 2 cardio session 2 bjj classes Oh and how people are dealing with rolling while sore or day after getting smashed and still lifting next day. White belt

It took me a while to find a balance but I think iv got it down now. My lifting is focused on maintaining some strength and flexibility so I'm not training super intensely, but 3 days a week I'm doing full body with full body workouts, mainly freeweight and bodyweight compound movements. Iv found a new love for lifting since starting ju jitsu which I'm fucking hooked to now. Hope you journey goes good. Fellow white belt here. Race ya to blue 😄

How often do you train a week and do you train pure Gi or No-Gi also?

@NsimaInyang

Жыл бұрын

3-5 sessions depending on the week. Mostly Gi, some no-gi

Smaller guys need to work on top pressure imho. Yes they need to work on some mass too.

Nsima, are you still eating one meal a day. Would like to hear about your diet. Thanks

Yeah this is why you wanna go to a gym that has a beginners class or the way the Gracies do it with their combatives program. I never understood schools that just throw you to the wolves. Sure the ones that survive turn out great but so many people leave jujitsu with a bad taste in their mouth because of that.

@NsimaInyang

That’s totally understandable. Our school has a fundamentals class, and typically when technique is shown the professor separates the white belts from the class. The white belts work on their own technique
