Best Jiu jitsu compliments...

[These Two Hands]

Being a pesadissimo, for me it's always a huge honor when people compliment my speed, agility, or fluidity - particularly as those are aspects I am constantly trying to improve on.

But I get a lot of "man, you're fast for such a big guy" or that kinda thing, it's good feedback for me as it lets me know that what I'm doing to improve it is probably working.

 

[CashBill]

There is a lot of technique in applying pressure.

 

[berimBOWLoh]

respectful nod trumps all words for me. at least thats what i give out when i think somebody is legitsu.


Or you call them Lo level then as they are about to get mad you say you meant Leandro Lo. seriously, that is a kind of inside joke at my gym.

 

[Forceof1]

I think it's a good sign when the gym names a move after you. Either that, or it's an indicator that it's time to expand your arsenal.

I also think the incredulous "wtf just happened to me laugh" is a pretty high compliment as well.

I also think the incredulous "wtf just happened to me laugh" is a pretty high compliment as well.

Ha yep that's always cool. I've also done that laugh a few times lol. Had a guy actually say that to me recently though after I pulled off a sweet choke I saw one time from Keenan.

 

[ijustwannasurf]

"You move really well for a big guy."

 

[RJ Green]

i like to show up at F12 friends' gyms and throw up in the alley in the back...

 

[RJ Green]

i like being asked not to hunt for certain submissions or drill certain throws. that's how i know they're working.

 

[A Muse of Fire]

" You're really flexible"

I still get confuse by the fact that aggression and activity are good in Judo, wrestling and kickboxing but bad ib BJJ

 

[DrJitsu]

When im rolling with guys who are a lot better than I am and I feel like I'm just getting shredded, I get a lot of "dude you're tough". That always lessens the blow for me a bit.

 

[HtomSirveaux]

Someone calling you a casca grossa is probably one of the best compliments I can think of

 

[maddog7]

You've got fantastic hips ?


Oh wait, that was wrestling

 

[Slim_Pickins]

You've got a real pretty mouth.

 

[Sexy Pants]

You have solid wrestling always puts a smile on my face! I wrestled 1 year in high school!

 

[loyalyolayal]

"Ohhh..."

 

[M3t4tr0n]

"your skin is so soft"
"you have such cute/tiny feet"

You've got a real pretty mouth.

"*sniiifff* Your hair smells good"

 

[NateTx4112]

"XXX local black belt has beautiful flowing Jiu Jitsu. Your style is more like Wet Cement."

Me - "Huh?"

"You fill in the small gaps that are left open, and once you get set. I'm FUCKED"

 

[fanboysareevil]

"How can I get better?"

It means they have a high enough opinion to ask you that question and also care more about their own development than just getting a workout in.

 

[the heed]

"I have to put on my best game against you when we roll"

When a higher belts tell me this, its the highest compliment I can get.

 

[Ton]

My best compliment was from a few of my training partners who are technically better than me, i noticed they were doing really well at not letting me pass their guard. So i complimented them on their guard, since it was not as hard to pass in the past. The response was the same for both of them: yeah man, i cant let you pass because when you get top control i'm screwed.
