Beware of Seminar Snipers in BJJ (How to Slow Rolling Down)

I recently listened to the Lex Fridman podcast with Craig Jones, and they brought up the idea of “Seminar Snipers” at BJJ seminars.

The clip is included in the video.

Craig talks about confronting injury threats on your own as an instructor in different Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms. The idea is not to injure someone for no reason, but just in self-defense.

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Anyways, often when it comes time for the class & visiting BJJ instructor to roll, there’s sometimes people who feel like they have something to prove.

This person usually tends to be very spazzy & dangerous with the instructor.

I wanted to dive into this unfortunate situation and talk about some unwritten rules, and how I deal with and approach rolling at seminars, especially as a 39-year-old BJJ coach who does NOT want to go to war every day.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.
