    You don't deal with weights because you do not know how to program a proper strength training program. Every serious grappler use weight training to strengthen themselves AND make themselves injury resistant. This mindset of not using weights will just make you more more prone to injury

    I wish more people would listen to you. I've been in a lot of fights because I was put into a foster home as a child, I enforced martial law in Kosovo as an infantryman, and I worked as a bouncer for 10 years. I learned that if I don't want to get hurt in a fight, I've got to end the fight as fast as I can. BJJ can end a fight fast, but a fast strike to a person's solar plexus before it's expected will end a fight a lot faster than trying to take the person to the ground and choke the person out. Burton Richardson made a program called BJJ For The Streets, which I would recommend because it give a realistic view of what BJJ can and can't be used for in a street fight. I do have a video on my UA-cam channel with some photos of an arrest I made while working in a mall that has bars. This shoplifter I helped arrest was 230 pounds, 18 years old, and very strong. I threw him on his face and it took 2 pairs of handcuffs to arrest him. He was so crazy the police had to put a spit mask on him, put him in a wheel chair, and roll him out of the mall to the police car. Later on I found out the shoplifter had a shank weapon in his pocket. He was about to shank one of my coworkers before I threw him to the ground, but I reacted fast enough to get him on the ground before he could do it.

    I’m 6’1” 220ish lbs. I love to grapple guys like this - who are smaller, but who have a lot of skill and will never give up. I can see something in their eyes when they come ask me to roll - they say “come on big guy, let’s roll”. They mean - I want to see if this all this stuff really works or not against a bigger, stronger opponent who won’t get gassed (unlike most big guys) and won’t tap unless the choke is actually making me blackout. It’s an invitation to something special. The bonus is that they want me to learn from them so I can do it too.

It has felt special to me that the smaller guys with rank have started to seek me out to roll. Even a couple brown belts. I say out of live rolling after class in the beginning if no one else was near my size or bigger. Perhaps the coolest thing about it all is that they want me to learn and progress.

    • @KamaJiuJitsu
      @KamaJiuJitsu 16 днів тому

      Question for you… when does a “Martial” art become a “combat” art? Also, when the aikido/karate practitioner gets clinched and taken down, are aikido and karate still “martial” arts?

    • @alenavideospace9457
      @alenavideospace9457 16 днів тому

      @@KamaJiuJitsu I think it’s common to see “martial arts“ as more of an art than a self defense system. Tai chi is also considered a martial art but wouldn’t you say it’s quite different from Jiu jitsu? Or wushu for example, you can’t apply these in a self defense situation and they are more of an art form. Not that anything is wrong with that. Martial art becomes a combat sport when the focus is on combat not art, and a self defense system once proven it can be applied as such. Back in the eighties/nineties when any style was “karate” and all fighting was “martial arts” it would possibly make sense to call it this, but these days when the difference between bullshido and true fighting is clear, I feel bjj shouldn’t be put under the term of martial art and should be made clear that is is a self defense system or a combat sport.

    • @KamaJiuJitsu
      @KamaJiuJitsu 16 днів тому

      And you see, when we debate semantics, we need to take all definitions into account, don’t we? “Martial” pertains to “war.” “Sport” refers to… sport. Combat is combat, but when combined with “sport,” is it “martial?” I get you, the “martial arts” have been watered down as time has gone on. But there IS a difference between Combat and Combat Sport. So, is what you call “combat sport,” actual combat, or is there a ref, judges, and a rulebook involved? I say most definitely. Now a martial “art” likely has no ref, no judges, and no rulebook BUT, given the change in martial arts over the decades, i would venture a guess that a martial artist has just as much of an opportunity to win in combat vs each other with no real rules (or fewer rather than more, at least) involved. BTW, thank you for the great (head scratching) debate!

    • @KamaJiuJitsu
      @KamaJiuJitsu 16 днів тому

      Oh, and BTW, a good chunk of BJJ today is no longer “self-defense.” GJJ has always strived to be “self-defense.” GJJ was also never really sold as a combat sport.

    • @alenavideospace9457
      @alenavideospace9457 15 днів тому

      @@KamaJiuJitsu hah I didn’t know we are debating but I guess let’s have a discussion since we started. There are 2 issues with what you are saying, the first is if we take all definitions as you suggest than we also have to consider the word art. BJJ has no forms, no flashy kicks, and nothing than can look impressive to the person who doesn’t know what’s going on, as opposed to let’s say kung fu or any other styles that have forms. These styles by direct definitions “martial arts” or arts of war. It doesn’t mean self defense and matter a fact doesn’t necessarily imply combat at all. Ki Gong is technically a “martial art” but doesn’t really have nothing to do with fighting. There is no sparring of any kind and for the most part practitioners are never fighters. BJJ on the other hand is sparring and fighting, these 2 can should not be tossed under one umbrella. One is an art form someone can do on their own and look pretty and the other is “let me choke you in the most uncomfortable way till you pass out”. They are not the same. The next problem is the fact that terms and words tend to change meaning. For example the term idk gay, it used to mean happy, then it became an offensive term. If back in the day martial arts was an umbrella term for everything, now it’s almost always synonymous with bullshido. When referring to boxing no one gonna say it’s martial arts lol they gonna say it’s a combat sport because you actually fight though under a controlled setting. BJJ is a self defense system and was mean to be such, but it grew its own branch to become a combat sport since people began to use BJJ vs BJJ and not only for self defense purposes, that’s why these 2 definitions would apply.

I've been on the mat since high school (I'm 60 now). Having stumbled on this approach for the first time as it applies to BJJ, I cannot exaggerate how much I agree with this concept of learning. It works in BJJ, wrestling, golf, and in learning arithmetic. A Jiu jitsu school is essentially the equivalent of a "one room school house". Student are at different levels, have different goals and aptitudes. This emphasis of "mastery" over "advancement is the most effective for producing results.

    Before I got my first stripe on my blue belt I thought I peaked and wouldn’t get any better. I then got my first stripe and thought “Holy smokes… I’m a legit blue belt now that I’m a stripe in”. And because I thought so little of my ability, I was happy just staying at that level. About a month later I got my second stripe and then a few months after that, my purple. I’m back at that mindset with my stripeless purple belt, feeling I’ve peaked and that this is as good as I’ll ever be. And I’m fine with that. I don’t do Jiu Jitsu to become a black belt. I do it because I love doing it. If I ever get a stripe on my purple… man alive it’ll be a good day.

The Japanese ju jitsu does everything, practitioners of all masters of none. I took my fifteen years of karate and four years of ju jitsu and went to Ceaser’s school in pleasant hill. I got distroyed by his students and realized how much better Gracie Jiu jitsu was on the ground than traditional ju jitsu. They are both good styles and have very different approaches to fighting and self defense. It’s ju jitsu and Jiu jitsu.

    It’s all in the Gracie curriculum, we train it here in Spain, there’s no excuse. Start every roll from standing, end of. If you don’t want to be thrown then you pull guard or learn to take the other down, it’s that simple. The Japanese Jiu Jitsu the Romanian guy is talking about sounds great in principle, but the curriculum is often far too expansive where you are training everything from weapons to throws to kicks and punches in one class, ending up very rarely being good in any of them. I’ve trained both btw.

    Alot of false information in this vid. Luiz France wasn't a student of Fadda, it was the other way around. Luiz Franca was a contemporary of Carlos Gracie Sr, not Fadda. Helio (11 years younger than Carlos Sr) and Franca were contemporaries. Fadda's students didn't beat Helios students 19 to 1. It was 3 wins for team Fadda, 7 for team Helio Gracie, and 4 draws. Yes, Fadda's team was more advanced in leg locks, but that didn't change anything for Helio as he continued to dismiss leg locks. John Danaher deserves credit for the current state of leg locks in BJJ and that didn't happen until the 2000's.
