Great video, definitely a lot white belts nodding out here to this including me. Could you do a video covering a few variations of pulling guard into a sweep for us white belts please? I'm one of the rare ultra heavyweights (just shy of 300 lbs) that likes to pull guard instead of focusing on takedowns, and I would like to build a good repertoire of sweeps.

@willbrooksofficial

Happy to help. Yea, that’s a good video idea right there.

Thanks it was good to see. But the move "leg sweep variation" is not just a random leg sweep, it's O Soto Gari, a great Judo technique.

I'm really enjoying your content.I would say there's a thing that i'm running into as i'm a new white belt. When i'm rolling up with someone at a certain tempo. Say like 3-5 tempo. And I'm thinking like OK good.This is a good paste like this is a temple that I want to learn.You know I'm not using too much muscle too much strength and it's a good pace.They will all of a sudden explode to like a 10.And it usually happens when I might be getting a position on them or when they wanna try to get a position on me they will suddenly explode to a tempo of 10. what should I do in those moments? Do follow suit and up my tempo to keep them from getting an advantage on me?

It just depends on what you’re trying to do. Increasing your intensity to maintain a position or submission may be needed at times. It also depends on how far into your own movement you are. Good techniques (once all the way locked up) will negate much force, but if it isn’t locked up and your opponent explodes, you may need to boost your intensity to keep and finish the technique. This is something you’ll get better at with time and practice 👍🏼

As a 1 stripe white belt, I really appreciate your breakdowns. You make it make sense without being condescending. Do you have any advice for a smaller, older competitor (174lbs/45 years old) against bigger, younger (230+lbs/30s) guys?

@willbrooksofficial

3 ай бұрын

I appreciate that. Yea, focus on leaning leg locks. Just be careful as most schools won’t teach that at white belt levels (due to risk of injury being greater). I’m not the biggest guy, but I’m not small either (5’11, 205 lbs). Leaning leg locks leveled the playing field against guys much bigger than me. They’re a game changer for sure.

I got you. That will start to resolve itself with time. As you become more familiar with the techniques, it’ll become muscle memory and will come much more naturally to you. Keep training and it’ll get easier.

I have just started and I have been stuck a lot when my partner gets into a mount and presses their weight down and I can’t seem to figure out where to go. Do you have any videos that show possible movements to make to get out of mounts?

@willbrooksofficial

Yeah, actually that’ll probably be my next video

Great video, but one question about stripping the grips on the gi - Because I'm often using two hands to strip a single grip and they have two hands they're trying to grab you with, I often find myself endlessly trying to strip grips until I eventually just give up and either just try to establish my own grips (even while my opponent still has grips) or pull guard just to change the position and allow me to use my feet and legs to help. When you're opponent is aggressively trying to grab your gi with both hands, how can you defend effectively?

@willbrooksofficial

3 ай бұрын

Great question. If my opponent is aggressively grabbing, I’ll aggressively strip their grips. Do this enough times and it starts to hurt their hands. It is a battle, but stay persistent. If you’re stripping the grips efficiently, and it may take several times, most guys will rethink their strategy and go for something else.

What do you think about ankle picks and outside trips as takedowns to learn for a white belt?

@willbrooksofficial

I absolutely love ankle picks. Outside trips are good too. Learned both in my wrestler days. I think if the white belt is open to learn them and does them correctly, they’re a great addition.

@@lm10_dxz91 I think it just depends on the individual’s ability. I’d rather know 2 takedowns REALLY well than partially know 20. Try a few out and the ones that feel the most natural or the least awkward should be the ones you practice and get good at.
