New BJJ guy needs advice

[Headhunter]

Basic BJJ is a must for any martial artist

No it isn't....if I'm doing karate and want to work towards being a black belt in karate and a karate teacher and compete in karate matches....why would I train bjj...that'd be stupid and pointless for what I want to do

Sambo does a lot of judo
You must know many leg locks lol

what striking arts have you done

You said Judo was fake. Why will he know 'lots' of leg locks, do you think that's all they teach?
Start at page 9 and read the syllabus, page 18 for English translation of Japanese terms https://www.britishjudo.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Kyu-Grade-Promotion-Syllabus-05.2016.pdf

NO to lower conflict !!! We dont need 2 people disrupting the room , so I figured this is the easiest method

No he means the word "Iggy" which isn't even a word....the word you're looking for is IGNORE.....I.g.n.o.r.e ignore

The arts I have trained in are Bujikan ninjutsu, Hapkido, and now train in Systema, but with a sambo element for grappling/groundwork, but it is not like a lot of videos you see on youtube.

'Lower conflict' I quite like a bit of lower conflict, nudge, nudge, wink wink, know what I mean.

Please do explain how you know what is going to help in a self defence situation? Just how many times have you needed to defend yourself?

You beat me to the punch with your response. Spot on.

How often will you do BJJ and with GI or no
Gi is 80 percent of the classes

 

[quasar44]

I have only done BJJ and wrestling for 20 months and I am not the biggest , fastest or strongest

WE KNOW you tell us this everyday

Are you telling him how he trains? This makes no sense.

He just told you the arts that he trains, and BJJ was not on that list.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

I do roll but i won’t 55 min
I try to do 20 min but that is it

55 min and my body would be tired for days

Yes. That’s how exercise works when you really go at it.

BJJ is very good art

 

[quasar44]

Yes. That’s how exercise works when you really go at it.

Not when you work full time and cross train in MT and wrestling and you’re 44 and 155 pounds with a history of lower back issues

 

[quasar44]

Plus the guys are way more skilled and some have 50 ibs on me and all they do is BJJ

 

[Gerry Seymour]

BJJ is very good art

Except for the 2/3 that sucks? Your story seems inconsistent.

 

[quasar44]

Except for the 2/3 that sucks? Your story seems inconsistent.

But that 1/3 is magic

Even gracies have said that 80 percent won’t work in mma or streets
That 20 percent is golden

What, exactly, does your height and slender frame have to do with it?

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Yeah, they’d likely destroy me, too. But I’d seek them out, to get better. I’d be sore, and would temper my week to recover sufficiently for the next class. But I wouldn’t bail on class halfway through.

Maybe you should focus on a couple classes a week that give you a good workout, rather than getting a half-workout every day.
