This guy had his knee firmly in the side of my neck to where my neck was not aligned with my head if I had rolled out somehow was thinking since human beings are very competitive he would use more pressure to keep me there!! So I tapped out!!
Had this purple belt put his knee right on my carotid artery in one side of my neck once, since a artery is the biggest vein in the body and carries the blood to the most important organs in the body, heart, brain, etc, I tapped almost immediately as I want all the blood going to my my brain...
Some advice my BJJ instructor give me:
Try not to use all your strength and energy. Try not to just hang on and not move around. Relax and move. It doesn’t matter if you get submitted, swept or put in a bad position. Be comfortable and confident weather your on top or bottom. Just relax...
I have had the problem for as long as I can remember, stay away from loud noises, wear ear protection, keep your ears dry, keep cold air out of your ears, on windy days keep the wind out of them, go to a ENT doctor to get them cleaned, don’t stick anything in your ears, make sure you don’t have...
It’s in how you train, taken karate have been in BJJ now for 3-4 months have unintentionally blended karate with BJJ but with no striking nor kicks thrown. So prepare and be prepared!

I roll with guys that are at least 25 years younger then I am, make them work for it!!! Lay on your side, tuck your chin in to your chest, be like a arm on a clock but move faster, keep your arms bent, feel a arm bar coming use the other hand to grab your wrist, turn into the arm bar and flop on...
One hurt is less likely to fight back, so breaking A wrists and/or using A wrists to throw into B take out C. If A wrists is broken then stomped on then your down to B and C. Of course there are many variables one has to think of before hand. Perpetual vision comes in handy! If possible never...
I started BJJ training just wanting to check it out and found out ya can build strength through that plus it’s a good workout and one hell of a blast and loads of fun on top of that even though I am a white belt and find my self on my side 100% of the time!!!!!!
It’s stupid!!! We train to slap, hit, kick, elbow, stomp, rapture, etc. the head but only in self defense!!!! Never to intentionally kill, hurt, or anything of the kind!!!!!!!!!
If it’s a good Instructor and he really wants to help me and other people that really wants to learn and he wants to grow his business and he seems to not be in it for the money and loves to teach! Then picture away!! Of course I can understand your desire for privacy too! To each his own!!!!
Thought about this often at my dojo you sign up with you agreeing to allow your picture to be posted which I don’t care almost always you have LEO’S training with you also, now take for example someone with a criminal background and/or some no good person that wants to learn martial arts to...

Rolled with a guy that said he ran and lifted weights for 20 years, and BJJ was the best by far he ever got from running and lifting weights! I sure do love it but a 5 minute roll seems to last only 45 seconds!!
