Who Has Trained In Bjj???

[Tom Yum]

I've trained in BJJ and wrestling on and off. I trained in BJJ first, so that was my starting point in grappling. After training in wrestling, I noticed that other guys who are pure BJJ seemed passive & patient, while wrestling seems more active & athletic.

But at the end of the day, I still get sub'd and learn to correct mistakes where I can.

I think very highly of BJJ's technical and flowing style. It has alot to offer.

I've done BJJ for a little over 3 years.

i started off wrestling first before i did bjj and i realized the same thing that alot,not all but alot of straight up bjj people are very passive.ive done bjj for almost 3 years and im a blue belt and i combine my wrestling and bjj with a little judo.being agressive helps alot,it can break peoples spirits and will to fight when your being agressive and you dont get tired.this whole time they are waiting for you to make a mistake and get tired and you dont and then yea there finished

JkD187, I did a seminar with Cleber Luciano a few months ago, and he pretty much said the same thing. He's an aggressive grappler, and he's always going for something, and it tends to wear his partners' spirits down.

Ive been training BJJ for about 6 months now and I love it. I can finally hold out a lot longer against the blue belts than I used to.. Hey Cakegirl im still waiting for my shirt Are you back home yet or still traveling the west side of the states ?

Kind of funny all the BJJ put downs and BS on this board, I wonder how many people actually have went to a BJJ studio and trained? The guys that have and do, they KNOW damn well how badass it is, those that havent are either bitter about it or just jeaous I guess, but I would say a purple in BJJ has 10 times the skill of a Black in anything else, including judo (though Judo blacks can throw the shit outta you, as Ive been sent sailing through the gym, but they cant finish).
If you havent tried it, go into a studio and see for yourself, Boarspear that includes you.

BJJ and Judo are two sides of the same damn coin... Judo guys can't finish, eh? Wish I had 50 bucks for every blue belt that tapped to my Judo...

I have trained with two blackbelts in BJJ, one was a 5th Dan who has already been named in this thread. I consider them my peers regardless of the color or the number of stripes on their Obi.

I don't have any judo training, but its good to see others who have the same experience and similar results. I enjoy wrestling, because it just feels more natural to press the action, then when you need a break you can go passive and capitalize on your partners mistakes - assuming you are grappling with submission and not pinning rules.

Have you ever had judo training but its good to see others who have the same experience and similar results ?
You are not the only one.

Do you like it?
But I like to gossip.

[danfaggella]

yeah, a purple in BJJ has 10 times the skill as any other MA, yeah... WHAT?!

good call tant.

[Tant01]

Yes I have. Anyone who badmouths bjj is an idiot not worth your time.

Is that right? Anyone? stay in your comfort zone...

That's why 7 minutes of wrestling feels like 7 hours!

I once enjoyed about 7 seconds of grappling (standing) before I got thrown so hard I was pooping blood for about 7 days...
