Great instructional roll by you. She is very tough as you said.

Would you say most people above you in rank have the same approach to rolling as you do with less advanced people? I.e., emphasis on technique, not being overly competitive, not going super-hard? Thank you

I don’t like how mocking Chris has become a running thing on this channel, it’s mean spirited and doesn’t represent the community well.

Hi (sorry I don't know your name). One of the guys in the back (in white pants) is Brian, one of my training partners at Brooklyn Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu; he is an AWESOME guy and a high-level Black Belt (an absolute pleasure to roll with on the mat!). I got my purple belt about a year ago, and also started teaching the basic classes about 3-4 months ago. Would love to get a friendly roll with you one of these days as I will be turning 50 in November, so will officially "join" the Jits Over 50 soon (for now just joined your channel that I find excellent and very beneficial especially for beginners as your narration helps them make sense of what is happening on the mat). Oss, Aleks

In Portuguese (the language spoken in Brazil, where Jiu-Jitsu from Japan mutated/evolved into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), the word "professor" literally translates to "teacher." For example, kids in grade school call their teachers "Professor." Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students call their Sensei "Professor." Brazilians came to the US to teach Jiu-Jitsu, and the title continued, as both Brazilians and Americans understood the term (though it has a different connotation in English). My first Jiu-Jitsu professor was a world champion in BJJ; he said, "Call me 'coach.'" That's all that "Professor" originally meant, in the Jiu-Jitsu context.

From just this short clip I already know that Man is an assassin. Would love to learn from him

Hey man, I have a question for you. I noticed that when you roll with people (and Billy does this here too), sometimes you look away, as though you're not relying on your eyesight to see what your opponent is doing, but rather using peripheral sight? Is that some kind of technique? Greetings from Croatia, from one stripe white belt. Love your vids, and keep up the good work.

I’m 42 & have been doing Bjj for only 4 months.. all I seem todo is pick up injuries rather than technique 🤦🏻‍♂️ the lastest was a double eye poke which was fun 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Always a great flow with Mike !

7:40 not a sweep (it did not come from a guard). Escape or reversal.

I wish all rolling partners were like this, this is how you learn!

Good stuff! I like this pace.

Great video, I’m trying to learn to relax and let the roll take me where it wants to go like you.

That is not aggressive, he's just a little nervous because he's rolling with someone much more experienced. I have zero tolerance for people being overly aggressive but I equally cannot stand people being absolute limp dicks. BJJ is contact sport, you're not in the office.

Had my first BJJ class and we did some sparring, I think I went in far too aggressive and fast, tried to apply some of what the class taught but my brain just went to fight or flight and ignored anything. Is this normal for beginners?

White belt belt

The degree of study, commitment, and depth of understanding to obtain a black belt in BJJ and teach it is comparable to obtaining a doctoral degree. Each takes many years and, most importantly, a BJJ professor understands the "why" behind their technique. Why it works, why it sometimes doesn't work, and how to bridge that gap. I'm happy to call my BJJ teacher Professor. ETA: Doesn't professor simply mean teacher in Romance languages (such as Portuguese)?

Let's save the title of professor for people who teach in college.

Don’t tap to age is such great advice!

Good battle both guys! Saying "I'm just cooking him here" is such a subtle flex haha. Great roll

Which Starwars game did you play? Battlefront shooter game or the mmorpg one?

Good thoughts on professor.

the two guys in back just creeping up lolol

You've been watching Pritt too I see :D

Just wondering if you would still get the points in competition for doing that knee on the hip move, would it just count as knee on belly? Thank you appreciate the posts

You looked good.

Nice video, its a bit hard to hear at 8:30 because of the background noise

Training in NYC this week was absolutely brutal. Especially in the gi.

Getting blue belt next week! Hope to roll with you one day.

Wish I knew about that open mat definitely would have supported that event. Really nice of them to do that. I went to a seminar before covid at their (I believe) previous location in Brooklyn. Was a fun event, it was a berimbolo seminar by Mayssa Bastos. As you know I’m not a very flexible guy, so my neck and back was a mess for a couple weeks after that, but absolutely worth it. Some good people there. Nice round(s).

Hope you can make the interview happen! Love your content, keep up the good work!

I would love to hear an interview with Super Dave.

Masterskya is awesome. You should tour other nyc bjj gyms!

Facts

Definitely I can resonate with you guys, more we train tougher we’ll become. 👍🏼🙏🏼

First person to comment!

You gotta start using under hooks and knee cuts. You're a brown belt and not understanding basic concepts. At your level of training you should have answers for pretty much any situation. He felt sorry for you and didn't want to use his power advantage, and wanted to work his guard. Those were def not sweeps.

Idk why the young guys are so aggressive.

No ones cares about GI

Amazing video with much appreciated length.

Im a 40 year old blue belt, RESPECT for what u doing! And RESPECT for the white belt for his art to roll, he´s got it!

Great video, thanks for sharing it! I am 39y a beginner in JJ (about 4 months) and watching it I just realized how much strength I have been using rather than trying to apply the techniques. You delivered a lot of knowledge in such short video! Thanks again, I am now a subscriber OSs

It’s interesting now that I’m over 50, hoe hard it is to follow a sweep up and go on top. The sweeps are easy, the follow up…is way more difficult now.

11:35 ice cream truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heyyy you got your brown belt!!! lolol i just started watching your videos when you were a 4 strip purple lololol

Having to purchase a car makes me ill. It's the worst financial investment you can make. I have always bought 10-15 year old, solid cars that get me around. There are a ton of other things I'd rather invest my money in. Like more Jiu jitsu classes.

Problem with these types of guys is that they end up injuring their training partners all the time because they only have this one speed which is berserk er mode. Nice control, I aspire to be able to do the same.

Killer bro

Love the new rash guards, just ordered 2 and shorts.

They never go easy on you when you're old. They young always try to eat the old. Love your videos!
