Can confirm. Have done these. Especially the crossing of the feet, and lo and behold, they got me with that foot lock and I learned real quick to stop lol 😆

Hi professor. How about a video on the 5 best things to do when starting jiu jitsu.

I saw the thumbnail for this video and literally laughed outloud. I'm paired up with a new guy and he keeps trying to cross-collar me inside my guard. I did it too when I first started. It's all good. :)

He said "PROTECT YA NECK"" HELL YEA

There's a few people who attack in my guard all the time, but I'm not skilled enough to capitalize on it. I tell them not to attack in the guard, but since I struggle with demonstrating the risks in real time, they usually just go back to doing it because they don't feel threatened. I know what I CAN do from there, but armlocks and sweeps never feel available for some reason. Something about my hip position must be wonky. It feels like they're never off their base, so I can't sweep them. When they try to cross collar me, I usually just stick it out and wait for them to back is hard.

Great video! The loud bell sound for each number is a bit much.

Thanks. great video. I wish someone had told me. this when I began. I think I would have saved a couple of injuries. Keep them coming

Have fun drilling! It’s like playing catch in “ball sports”.

Great video! What mic are you guys using during demonstration?

#6. Thinking you are the hulk and just muscle all over the place

[theaceco]

Video editing mistakes: #1. Making the sound effects disproportionately louder than the content audio.

I gotta turn up the volume to hear you speaking and then get the loud annoying dings along with it.

I got the chance to be in a class with Prof. Mica Cipili here in Vegas and he was going over some guard passes. I was in his guard and lost my balance and put my hand down, but being a newb white belt, I didn't really think anything of it. WRONG!!!!
He said "ooooh, don't do that because I can get a kimura" and like freaking lightning, I was in the kimura. LOL oops.

Side control, back mount, full mount are the worse positions to put people in!!😆😆

[raidenblood]

Hello, would BBJ be a good introduction to martial arts? I’ve looked into others and honestly BBJ interested me the most. But is it good for a starter?

[katethegreat]

I’m guilty of those first two. Natural instincts mixed with lack of knowledge can have bad results. LOL.
I LOVE drilling though. I could do that all day. I’d rather drill than roll, tbh.

[andredebruyn]

Isnt drilling tesame as kicking in the air, useless.

[chuck]

this shit looks like a bad joke for sure i promise its this or gun that really protects the sheep like cops in 10 min and confidence the perfect amount that everyone thinks thay have but predetors know that shit helps a little i mean cops help and a gun i dunno are you gonna shoot someone the cops are coming like it aint aim at someone helpful id really being die hard into this unless like your legit ya know like the cops scarrier than all this shit soon as they get this isnt scarry its effective its annoying its the cleanest leverage like even knife play that another thing cuz arterys but i dunno that why i live mixed i def wanna learn this and in knife i pretty wrist control more than ever so it prolly actually the shit for that to
