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

Gary Berger — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 19:00:14 +0000

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.

New White Belt is Scared of Rolling with Other a White Belts

Gary Berger — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 20:53:19 +0000

Today’s question is about spazzy White Belts who are ripping submissions.

The question comes from Christian who is newer to BJJ, but his biggest worry is about rolling with other White Belts who finish submission too quickly.

He asked, “is this a valid concern? or is this something I need to get used to?”

Of course, White Belts are going to be a little spazzy, but this definitely IS a valid concern.

In this video I’ll explain to you how I’d approach training safely as a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu against other White Belts in BJJ, and how to train safely in general, regardless of belt rank.

Hopefully you find these Ideas useful for you.
