At 11:00 I'm doing a "boxing" session:

My study for BJJ today is a question about concepts and principles that you should know and understand when rolling.
1. If you don't have a grip, you can't control - so get the grip you want for your defence or attack.
(Maybe gripping means also hooks.)
2. Where the head goes, body will follow? Controlling hips is the key? I don't know if it's the head or hips or arms, but you have to control something. (Where and how do you get the best control.)
3. When to make space and when to take space away?
4. Pressure on your opponent - but don't let him uppa (hip bump) you off.
5. Leverage and base - where do you get the best momentum.
6. Breaking balance and fake attacks


At 18:30 I'll be in BJJ class.
Tonight's bjj class was free roll - no new techniques
One of the instructor pointed out today that you do not learn techniques from internet.
I understand his point of view. Internet can mess up your learning, if you try to learn random technique here and there. I just can't understand how it can harm you if you study the same techniques that was taught in class and use it as a tool for recalling what was taught.

Only way to proff that internet is a tool for learning is to get better and show others that development using multiple channels is faster than just rolling on the mat 2 times a week.

  1. I really think that early use of the internet in regard to BJJ, and probably any art, can be very detrimental.

    In regard to BJJ, so many movements are so precise and specific to the lesson plan that your coach is putting together that I can really see that minor variations in what your doing in class vs. what you see on line might interfere with what he's trying to accomplish.

    Where I do think it comes in very handy is once your understanding of BJJ becomes more in depth. Say late purple-ish and up. Then you can start looking at stuff from reputable sources and seeing how it fits with what you're doing.

    Now, if you can find video of technique EXACTLY the way it was taught in class then I'd say you're not so much "learning" as review- agreed. However; just due to the highly technical nature and specificity of the art I'd be careful.

    1. Point taken:-)
      I've been watching instructional videos and trying to find the same instruction and moves that have been taught at our club. By doing this you can see small differences in instructions, but most important you can recall the instructions given in class.

      I've also looked for some solutions for situations that I have had problems in rolling - like "reverse hon kesa gatame" of knee on belly. It's a long way from an internet video to implementing it to your rolling:-)

      Today (2/19) I'll try out BJJ chess rolling, that I found from internet. My shoulder cannot take full speed rolling so I'll ask to roll like playing chess. You do your moves at your own speed and there is no resistance.
