This should be my last post about Brazillian Jiu Jitsu
I want to write this because some of my juniors always trying to win in a sparring match with me
Brief introduction, I started doing No-Gi Jiujitsu in 2014, my gym only offers No-Gi Jiujitsu one class per week, which is definitely insufficient for anyone to become good at it !!
So I improved by come sparring with friends when there is no class, go to Open Mat, and also watch BJJ video on Youtube and do note
I am a super non-competitive guy, therefore my pride doesn't hurt even if I get tapped out by my juniors
I am more happy in being able to execute certain techniques than winning (preferably both la haha)
So I am a bit sien whenever my junior focus on winning me rather than focus on improving
Because I am more experienced and muscular than most of my juniors, I always purposely get into certain position so that I can experiment on some new techniques
I can see some of their improvement lately, but it is far not enough to be competitive in a BJJ gym
Basically, I think a lot of people quit this sport in the early stage in my gym because it takes some time to pick up the basic moves and movement, AND my gym only offer one class per week which make the whole situation ten time worse
BJJ techniques are complicated and require memorizing some detail, I don't think anyone can remember the techniques taught a week ago
Hence, it is VERY IMPORTANT to make your own note and go Open Mat !!
Making my own note is the MAJOR step that propelled me from a okok practitioner to at least being able to flow in most position
Being able to flow means you know what to do in any position, that is the basic
Most juniors goes blank when they are in an untrained position, unable to react
Basically, just a few steps to improve your game
1.) Spar, after losing, remember how you get submitted
2.) Go home and find the escape from that submission, Youtube
OR
1.) Spar, dunno what to do in a position
2.) Go home and find offense in the position, again, Youtube
3.) MAKE NOTE and REVISE !! (VERY, VERY IMPORTANT)
4.) Practice in sparring to see if it works
5.) Make a flow chart, make sure you have at least one escape from all submissions, and one submission in all position, one transition from any position to any position
6.) Go Open Mat if your gym is like my gym (no advance players + very few classes)
After this, you will be able to at least do things against better player, because you have all the information, the rest will be perfecting your movement and detail of techniques because even in white belt, most people know counters, counters to counters, and so on
This video is my first BJJ class, just look at how I get confused trying to perform a triangle choke
