Fat BJJ guys

[Oldguy]

Did the wanker from the UK get his feelings hurt? The minute fat boy started attacking GB for his obesity, he deserved the blunt truth. I know there are fat people in the UK too. But, I don't get why. Dog food tastes better than the crap you chaps call food. Sod off.

You really should focus your energies on the muslim invasion of your soon to be overrun country. Londonstan is beyond hope. But, maybe you can save some of the outlying areas.

You are being conquered. Better get busy.

Yeah. Heavier dudes with technique are a scary combination.

we have a guy at my place that when I mount him my knees don't touch the ground. I'm only a buck 70 so hard to get him off when we roll. I usually defend until he gets tired then I make my move.

So much WOW in this thread. Obesity is a multi layered complex issue that well educated experts have a hard time solving let alone people in a jiujitsu forum. We coddle our drug addicts and alcoholics yet people who struggle with food addiction are "lazy fat fucks with no discipline." If anyone has been paying attention the last few years you'd realize research shows food addiction is just as powerful as opiate and alcohol addiction. It stimulates the same reward centers in the brain. The food industry excels at manipulating your natural drive to seek out sugar, salt, and fat in food while also brainwashing us with advertising and making shitty food cheap and easily available. Plenty of obese people have dumped loads into fad diets and gym memberships and still fail to lose weight. At some point we have to come to grips with the fact that it's more than just will power.
Do some research before you start shitting on a guy. I'm very surprised there is a black belt with that type of attitude toward someone looking for help through jiujitsu. This art is made for the weak and helpless to become strong. My instructor has been training since 95' and he would never turn down anyone. Funny that Baha wouldn't except you cuz you're to fat but Orlando Sanchez started there at well over 300lbs and still isn't the skinniest guy

Don't blame BJJ for your complete lack of discipline and will power. You got yourself obese. You have no one to blame but you. Now, I am being mean. I am a BJJ black belt. I am 54 years old, 5'9" and 165 lbs. I have done this for 24 years. You think you understand when you are clueless. BJJ is not an efficient way to lose weight. I look at our lineup and see it every time I go to class. Size is rewarded in BJJ. You can do BJJ and not lose a pound.

You need cardio, weights, and a strict diet so you can even get to the starting line. Walking to start, then bike or swimming. If you don't, you will die.

Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up. Especially people that have had no respect for their bodies. Man up and stop crying like a fat bitch. Your biggest enemy is Carl's Jr.

i mostly agree with you that if you can't fit into the biggest gi, you have a serious issue. carrying that much weight literally means you are going to die far too soon.

however, what is this bullshit about bjj not being good for losing weight? for a 20+ year veteran, that's an ignorant statement. hard training is draining. i have never in my life done anything even remotely as physically demanding as grappling. no running, weight lifting, cardio exercises, none of that shit will exhaust you quite like wrestling / bjj. you can train lazily, sure. there are plenty of schools who cater to people who aren't interested in hard sparring. but regular gyms will have intense live rolls, and if you're there with a good group of competitive guys, you can get the exercise of your life.

i have seen plenty of people lose weight through bjj. most people i know who train hard, got in tremendous shape, just by doing bjj. i'm on the other side of the spectrum, i was really small when i started out and through the years i've put on a lot of muscle. no weights, just regular training. there really is no difference between pushing around weights and pushing around live bodies, except the latter is much more difficult when they're fighting back. and it's obviously much more fun to do bjj than to lift weights.

agreed on the diet, though. if you're morbidly obese, working out is good, but working out and eating cleanly is far better.

You really should focus your energies on the muslim invasion of your soon to be overrun country. Londonstan is beyond hope. But, maybe you can save some of the outlying areas.

oh, well. now your others posts make a lot more sense.

i honestly thought you were just a grumpy old guy who wanted to dish out some tough love. it hadn't occurred to me that you were a fucking idiot.

You can lose weight thru bjj or any physical activity but it's not guaranteed. Diet is way more important. I train bjj 3-5x a week, muay thai 2-3x, and I'm still like 30lbs overweight because I eat like an absolute fucking pig and love craft beer lol

Wow. Almost everyone I have met in the BJJ world have been really cool, laid back guys. Something about the security BJJ gives one I hear. So if you really are a BJJ black belt, either you're trolling, or are the biggest prick in the BJJ community (and probably pfp top 10 asshole in your swamp/state). if this is what you are like in real life you must have some pretty deep rooted insecurity issues. At least the fat guy has time to lose weight. Use the rest of the time you have left on the planet to sort out your mental issues mate. And while you're at it, stop jacking off to that Trump poster in your mom's basement.

You'll get injured then you can't exercise and gain it all back because you'll ditch your diet. I've seen it happen many times.

BJJ is not great for losing weight, most guys I know who train are not in great shape unless they started that way. Exercise is not the issue, it's the diet.

Best thing to do is get a PT and exercise, it's gonna take a year or two. Truthfully the odds are against you ever losing that much weight, you will likely lose this battle.

The same lack of willpower that caused the weight gain will get you in the end. Unless you can commit to a healthy lifestyle outside of BJJ, game over.

Also, nobody wants to train with someone that's 500 pounds.

We have a fat guy at my gym who was recently given his purple belt I can only assume because my instructor felt bad for him. I honestly have a tougher time with some of the white belts. Literally all he does is try to get to half guard and lay on you

 

[TehGwarch]

I understand all of that. I've owned up to all of that. You missed your calling at a motivational speaker.

Better to be honest, maybe give you a sense of urgency.

Your will to survive determines the outcome but that survival instinct has to kick in and it won't kick in if everyone is telling you things are fine.

You can also have a heart attack on the mats, no one wants that. There are more pressing issues than BJJ right now.

Being much over 200lbs if you are normal height is not healthy, especially if you are pushing your heart that hard.

I am curious as to where you're from now. I figured you were American until this post. Considering American food is mostly garbage, I guess you must not be. Who the fuck eats cheese out of a can?

I mostly agree with what you've been saying though. A 550lbs+ guy on the mats is a danger, not only to himself but to the other people in the class. Probably best to talk to a doctor about such a major weight issue than asking for advice on sherdog.

I attacked the fat guy because he attacked and blamed BJJ for his problem. I live in the USA. Our food is absolute garbage. There is Flouride in the water, GMO in almost everything, and processed food packed with sugar. Don't even get me started on fast food.

People don't have to eat this crap. But, they do. Then, they have the balls to blame GB because they are too fat to fit in the GI.

BJJ rewards size. I see more people with a belly in my no gi class than guys with 6 pack abs. You can loose weight in BJJ. But, it there are more efficient ways. The fat guy who started this needs to loose weight just to get to the starting line. Not a hard concept to understand.
