Hi Adam. I’m 58 year old woman who has taken 3 bjj classes (Embrace in NC). Your shrimping video is very helpful. Also, thank you for acknowledging the beyond awkward feeling of being new and totally lost. Appreciate it! Nic

Thanks Coach, yesterday was my first day of BJJ at Fight Craft in San Jose Cal, was pretty tuff but fun all in the same time… But I won’t lie while waiting in the parking lot I was like I’m 50 what in gods name am I doing. But glad I did.. Many blessings Coach

As a beginner this was very helpful to me. You broke it down easily so that I could follow it. Thank you!

[mattlamport]

Great video found by accident. Over two years into training but these basics are still everything and I am still learning little details on these moves all the time!! What a surprise to see Adam and realise that I was in your No-Gi Class in Northcamp a couple of weeks ago (which was also brilliant by the way!). Very skillful instructor, very clear and easy to follow. I think you gave the best warm up I have ever been in (it was more like a yoga class!) - no injuries that day!! 🙂

super thankful for this video. My 5 year old has been doing BJJ for 6 months, and I'm having my first class tomorrow... your videos have helped the anxiety

[TonyFerrieri]

Great tip I was trying to do this before my first class. you broke it down and I got it! I'm 57. Thanks!

Appreciate the vid that pressure through the shoulder and emphasis on mini SL bridge have helped my hip movement in my shrimp ALOT

Just started training and have only done three classes. Been struggling with the shrimp and this helped a lot! Thank you.

[JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Thank you so much, I had my first class Friday and had no idea what to do when it came to this movement. I'll be better prepared tonight! I train in Atlanta Georgia. 👊

[filiptodorovic]

This is great! Its exactly what we are working on right now. We are a pretty big class with almost 40 beginner students with 1 teacher so its hard to get help when you are messing up some part. Cheers
