The psychological progression thing is very important. Don't chase belts but it's important to hear from your instructor that they've acknowledged your growth. I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.

I feel this one. I trained several times a week (4-5) and didn't get my first stripe until 8 months in. I thought my coach hated me.

Beginners need beginner classes, it’s that simple

Yeah that's a great point. I remember being in the beginner class and at times feeling overwhelmed with how complex it was to learn a move. So many benefits came from being introduced slowly to more and more ideas. Eventually, the old brain seems ready to consume BJJ info. Until then it helps to have a place to soak it up rather than firehose it

You are so, so right about instructor-student relationships. My first instructor ran a very, very successful academy, and at the peak of our prosperity as a gym, fell into that trap and ended up killing himself and leaving a family behind. The cascading effect was enormous in this case. The aftermath threw probably 120 people into a state of shock, grief, confusion or disillusionment that lasted for years. Some turned to drugs and there was even a murder-suicide by one of the fighters a year later.

I had luck in my life and only trained at very cool gyms. I travelled a lot when I was younger and I learned a lot of good habits from the schools I trained in and try to implement a lot of those.

Great points and explanations 👍

damn Keenan I'd love to get a beer with you

Couldn’t put it better myself awesome

Really good points 👍

this is a great series

I left a gym when I realized that it was I that was committed and not the gym. I got very hurt…and the owner was more concerned with my gym payment than my health. Boom.

Wise words with the sand analogy

That sand analogy, amazing. The harder you squeeze the handful of sand, the more of it leaks!

Bro is the Daniel Naroditsky of Jiu Jitsu.

I feel best at gyms where I don’t feel like an idiot asking for help on technique and instructors seem neutral but always helpful with BJJ. Currently train at a gym where I usually don’t ask for technique questions from 1 instructor because it’s not exactly encouraging to be told you’re stupid or retarded as a white belt because you can’t grasp a movement or remember a sequence. My favorite places to train the instructors seemed happy to show technique

As a student teacher I am most definitely going to use the sand analogy in my philosphy essay and quote Kennan

Hey Keenan! it was so AWESOME to meet you at the San Diego Zoo! i spent the rest of the day hoping to run into you again so i could talk to you instead of acting like a teen age girl meeting justin beeber.I would have told you i model my butterfly loop choke, knee on belly sweep and double under pass on your videos. I didnt know you were based in San Diego, I would have visited your school instead of Rodrigo Medeiros! well,next time!

Hey Keenan, do a video wear you guide a lower rank belt against a higher one, but stick some ear plugs in the higher rank belt try to figure a way wear only the lower rank can hear you. That would be awesome! thanks Keenan!

6:20 Thank you for addressing

I would say for the most part that my coach never uses positive reinforcement except for stripes. I was 1 stripe purple belt for 9 months and the only comment I received was "attack submissions more"

I would recommend sending you, the owner, the email rather than the student missing the classes. Then, you can follow up with them rather than the student receiving a bland automated message.

thoughts on when people bring people they have preexisting romantic relationships with into the gym? like if an owner or instructor’s girlfriend decides to try bjj, likes it and stays?

Keenan - any thoughts on ADCC results?

Reasons I've left different gyms: Gym 1: moved abroad Gym 2: Not feeling welcomed and dirty as hell. Gym 3: The teaching sucked, nobody was able to win anything and I wasn't making any progress. Gym 4: current gym, thinking about leaving because I don't like how the class is structured. 3 techniques and porrada is a horrible way of teaching. Reason why I haven't left is because I like the people there

kzread.info/dash/bejne/iHt-y6Oelqi5eLw.html I have big problems with standing ninja choke. Personally, I like this choke and sometimes I use it too but, a lot of time my opponents use this choke on me. Do you know how can I escape from this choke?
