Pec major and bicep tear from an arm bar when I was a newest white belt. I was rolling with a purple belt and he was working very slow and methodical, I believe the injury came from an old injury when I was younger and never had it resolved. Months of rehab and rebuilding. It suck lol but still training and enjoying the blue belt journey.

Blue belt here. I don't look for "new" techniques in videos. I look for videos that review and reinforce what I've already learned for reference. Often I notice details I've missed before, or a different perspective that helps me understand something better. Something I've already experience and felt, but maybe haven't executed as well as I would like. It usually clicks later when a class instructor teaches the same concept or technique again and points out the same things I noticed in the video, and again reinforces it.

I don't concur - I like the short form; as an appetiser. So I see say, a funky new triangle version, and I check it a few times, and then if it's cool, I try and reproduce it in class, with the help of my coach if needed. When I am time poor, I will doom scroll for a bit, and I find that it does inspire me a bit. My algorithm for the most part know bjj for me, and that's about it. I agree with the dopamine doom scrolling though; but if you make them work for what YOU want, then cool. For me, they can be bursts of inspiration.

I have 3 playlists - "BJJ Watch Later", "BJJ Videos of the Week", and "BJJ Fundamentals." "BJJ Videos of the Week" I cap at around 10 videos. These videos address current challenges I'm struggling with. I'll watch these videos over and over again until I can repeatedly hit them during live rolls, at which time they graduate to the "BJJ Fundamentals" playlist, or I can't seem to get them to work and I remove them entirely. "BJJ Fundamentals" I'll review every now and again when a technique that's consistently worked for me stops working for some reason. When I re-visit these videos, I'll often notice a detail I've been missing and (re)learn something new. "You never read the same book twice". "BJJ Watch Later" is my junk food that I never eat but I also never throw out.

Alright, so I rarely have potato chips, but when I have as a kid, it's usually because I've had mountains and mountains of chips and actually got sick and satisfied from them, and would not feel the need to eat them anymore So I imagine if you're going to learn from short-format, it should all focus on the same thing. Like a bunch of 30 second clips all focused on a singular move, or position, or concept. That way they all kind of stack like mini-lectures on the same module of study. But these probably still stuck compared to an actual BJJ instructional you pay for that features a high level grappler teaching, for multiple hours of consistent footage You can have as many potato chips as you want, and can def get full, but it'll never be like a nice steak

I trained 5 days a week for about four years, after training 3 days a week for the previous 3 years, and in the last 3 years, I do good to train twice a month which is mostly drills with my son and his friends. Several of whom are high level wrestlers and active in BJJ. I hold my own. At some point, this all just becomes about maintaining enough proficiency to defend yourself and have a little fun. Even Black Belts are susceptible to age, injury, and the mediocrity of knowing too much. I started my journey so very long ago, and forty years later, I'm just drilling basics like the first time I stepped on the mat to wrestle or practice Judo. As I see it, the problem with BJJ is the constant need to improve makes the art mundane. Once, you're a Blue Belt, you have 99% of the 'moves', from there forward you're just polishing it. And once polish your skills to a lustrous shine, you have to except the fact that shine won't last forever. In addition to my Blue Belt in BJJ, my Purple in submission wrestling, and my Brown Belt in Judo, I have a couple of Karate Black Belts and decades of boxing and kickboxing with more than few years in Muay Thai. I can throw a roundhouse like a Thai, TKD, Kyokushin, and even Savateur. Yet, I still just throw same mix of KK/MT that I've been throwing for 10 years. Again, it just becomes mundane. I even the three forms of Wing Chun Gung Fu. I can throw punches a hundred different ways. But, I just plod along 1-2, 3-2-3, 2-3-2, 1-3 kick, and so on. On a long enough timeline, everyone plateaus. And you will never get any better, no matter what you do, or tell yourself. You can practice until your 90, but eventually, your cup will be full and emptying it will do nothing but refill it with the same tea you were sipping from.

I have a really good friend I met at white belt and I’ve always let her work and beat me since white belt. She is a blue belt for a year now and when we roll, I still let her work but some days I put a little more pressure on her and some days I don’t give her an inch lol. On those days, she’s always like “man, I suck today.. I don’t know what’s wrong?” lol. I just smile and tell her she did great, she just had a bad day. I actually treat most of the female partners this way regardless of rank or skill. I am not saying that I am better than anyone, but I have enough common sense not to just crush everyone smaller or not as strong.

I am curious though, respectfully, on how you can reject short form content and its usefulness in MOST cases when I can immediately go to your Instagram account-which I did, and find a :52 second flashy text, music, short form technique breakdown (dated from three weeks ago with some being as recent as a week ago). So are you just personally (morally) against it recently? Because I think there has to be an acknowledgement to the fact that you had and do put it out as well.

Hopefully things worked out for the guy. He should be happy that people were still willing to roll with him regardless. I'm in a situation right now where I'm a healthy and natural 300lbs. I'm athletically functional, I can sprint, do basic sambo acrobatics etc. I never thought I'd ever be this heavy. If I really slimmed down, I wouldn't doubt that I'd still be 260 or so, and that's like bean pole slim. My issue right now is that nobody wants to roll with me anymore. Use to do sambo, but the gym went through some changes, instructors passed away, others left, and things didn't work out, plus alot of old injuries were creeping up on guys, so now we prefer to do alot more ne waza. Only issue is that I feel pretty left put. Theyv told me I need to lose weight, and habe just flat out told me they don't want to roll with me until I lose weight. I'm not fat, I'm not loaded with muscle lile zangief either, I'm just very broad for my height, and I think I would fit under the actual term of being big boned. They just said that they're tired of being steam rolled all of the time. We also had a strong wrestling base in our sambo. Our instructor demanded that we be ontop in a scramble. So alot of that instinctive drilling just comes around. So it's gotten to the point where theyv made rules with me. I can't do any throws or take downs where I'm basically landing on the guy. Iv injured 2 guys already because of it. One guys shoulder is still in pretty bad shape. So that's understandable. They also basically don't want me mounting them or even being in side control unless my knees are tucked in. Obviously knee mounts are out of the picture to. So it sucks. Stuck with a few throws, while shots are basically out of the picture. New waza is super boring and limited. I really wish I could find a guy my size that isn't going to nerf the game. I just want to do it for hobbiest fun. I'm not looking to hurt myself or anyone. They told me I should maybe put on more weight and learn some sumo. I think they were serious. I actually like sumo, but it looks like there's only one place to train in canada, unless maybe they'd do it by correspondence. My issue again wouod be finding a few guys that size to train with I suppose. I dunno. Just came here to share my blues. Martial arts are a big thing here in the city for its size. Tons of clubs, some a bit more private, yet it doesn't seem to host any people my size. Maybe I will try lose as much weight as I can and see how it goes. Right now like I said, I'm a comfortable weight. I'm not obese or anything. Can.sprint for a block, etc.

Wrestled a bit in school, did a few summer camps. But I'm getting more aware everyday its coming. Im having trouble with remembering all the donts for a white belt. Its ibjjf, so I know chokes are a no go, no slams, or wrenching. But thats about it. We are doing what we can to prep, and such. Im just getting the adrenaline early lol. By chance do you have any major no nos or tips Inshould be aware of? Thank you in advance man! Take care!
