BJJ vs karate: Jiu-Jitsu Match

He's already used his "Free class" at our gym. If he wants to roll there now he has to enroll. The guys house with mats that we usually roll at got destroyed by Hurricane Ike. So he said he wanted to roll with me, and I LOVE rolling so I said yeah. The only room in my house I can move stuff easily to have room is my daughters. Not a big deal to me....I would roll on pink pads in a girls gym if it meant I could practice more. I'm not homophobic, I'm not afriad I'll turn gay one day. I'm happily married with two kids...I just like grappling and I'll take it anyway I can with anybody regardless of skill from none to black belt. Any body that isn't the same just doesn't love this sport as much as me I guess.

I'm with you Padlock. I'll grapple with my buddies anywhere where there's space. Sometimes we'll be sitting around and discuss moves or something and get the urge to roll. We just move the couch or the dining table. Its no different than when I was a kid and when I wanted to play some football we'd play 1 on 1 or 1 on 1 with an all time QB, in the street, backyard or even the living room. Shit if you love rolling, you'll do it anywhere.
 
As far as the loose pass in the beginning is concerned i fully get why you did it that way but don't. With newer guys i do things lazy or w/out a lot of pressure too but i find it helps so much more if i really focus on my technique at those moments.
Think of it as drilling. Its a perfect chance to check your pressure, balance, etc. Even better than w/ an experienced partner. With someone good i have to worry a lot more and can't focus so much on making every detail perfect, w/ someone new i have all the time in the world. Something to think about.

Otherwise good stuff, and anyone who says they haven't rolled on the carpet at someone's house is lying :icon_chee

Thank you...I think your right. In the beginning I was doing perfect technique and as I noticed I could get a way with stuff..it started get sloppy sometimes. I shouldn't of let it and I won't next time...Thanks for the post.

Exactly...and I too have played tackle football on the street. Thats why you ran your ass off to the grass when you could lol
 
I really liked that triangle you got from side control in the beginning, I'm going to start using that.

Thanks and go for it..let me know if it works or if you have any questions..I'll help any way I can.
 
lethalazn:

But honestly, the title of this thread should be "Me vs Noob," which might result in less unnecessary flames

You kind of need people to spell stuff out for you, huh? lol JK I think the Title "BJJ vs a KARATE guy in a BJJ MATCH" is the same thing as saying "Me vs Noob". lol The whole point of this thread was not to say " LOOK WHAT I HAVE DONE..I HAVE CONQUERED THE NOOB...I AM MAN..HEAR ME ROAR" lol I had already taught him some shit and let him try it out on me and were rolling at the end in a free sparring match. It let me get my practice in and drill some moves and it let him feel the power of jiu-jitsu :icon_chee I posted it on here

A. Because I wanted some people to critique my technique. (which I got on the fact I got lazy on the first guard pass)
B. Because a lot of people like watch BJJ against other styles
C. I love watching every match almost anyone posts because I can learn from anyone. I wanted people to have the opportunity to learn from me, which they did from the triangle from side mount.
 
you show flashes of a high level of technique interspersed with sloppiness, but it's probably because against him you can get away with it. I would like to see you in a similar vid, concentrating on being technical, i am sure it would be even more of a domination :-D

EDIT: I was gonna stop through the video and critique different aspects, but i am sure if you watch it yourself you know what you laxed on. It's easy to get lazy when you can still smash the guy.

Yeah, thats exactly what happened. That was the end of the rolling session after I had taught him a few things. When we first rolled I was pretty technical later I kind of realized I could get away with stuff. Which looking back...wasn't a good idea because it wasn't helping me any and it set a bad example. A few people have brought this to my attention and Im going to try to do the techniques correctly regardless of situation. Thanks man..I appreciate hearing it.
 
Between the music ("CUM together" right now) and the fact that it was in a bedroom made it suspiciously GHEY!

Ever heard the saying "Its only ghey if u make eye contact?" well I have to add a rule to that "Its also Ghey if its in a bedroom"

Wow, he clearly has children, with a wife im assuming.
The internet ceases to amaze me.
 
Lol its cool. And the most ridiculous place I rolled was at a friends house when his wife kicked us out of the living room so she could vacuum and I was in the middle of showing him something and we went out side and did it on the concrete walkway. No scratches no bumbs but it was a little out of the ordinary but still fun lol. I kinna got a one track mind sometimes and when I start something I try to finish it or it bugs me.

Dude seriously its awesome you have such enthusiasm for grappling but really you should be doing this stuff in a gym. I mean rolling in your daughters bedroom, rolling at your buddies house when his wife is vacuuming is a little over the top.:icon_neut

Why's that. I'm Ok with it..the guys I'm rolling with are OK with it...the question is..why are YOU not ok with me rolling? I don't know how your gym works but I can't just bring my buddy's up to the gym and roll with them anytime I want. If me and a buddy start talking about something and he wants to show me or I want to show him something or hell..we just want to roll for a little bit...I'm wouldn't drive all the way to a gym or call my instructor and try to get a key from him...THAT would be a little over the top.
 
Just curious. Does the Karate guy mind having his ass kicking being posted all over the web?

EDIT: You know, people haven't been training on "Mats" in gyms since the begininng of martial arts....lol..they used to practice outside and on wooden floors. They were fine and I'm pretty sure I'll be ok too...I'm not brittle.

..his ass kicked IN jiu-jitsu By a blue belt IN Jiu-Jitsu? No, not at all...same reason I don't mind the video of me gettin my assed kick by my instructor being all over the web. Its pretty much expected. He gets to use it to see what mistakes he made and why he was submitted..and I get to critique my techniques. You'd have to be a little insecure to have your feelings hurt about something silly like that.
