Ouch!Exhibit E
I tapped to pressure today. In my defense, he weighs 375.
Listen I'm not a BJJ expert.Exhibit F
Positional rolling with a black belt today from closed guard. I break his guard open, he immediately locks high guard for triangle, I avoid the triangle. He starts setting up armbar, I avoid that. He catches me with an Americana from there.
Reset, start again. I break his guard open, he immediately locks high guard. I avoid the above sequence by just sinking into the triangle.
Just remember you don't just have to pull your arm out. You can put your other arm back in.Exhibit F

so are you saying you are now better than a black Belt in BJJ?Exhibit F

Exhibit G
Rolling with a purple belt drop-in. In her half guard, I go for move of the day (a pressure pass). She easily sweeps me. She lands in my half guard, goes for the move of the day. I try to do what she did to defend. I fail miserably and she easily passes.
Exhibit H
After she passes my half guard, she gets into mount. I clear her underhook from my head in such a way that I gift her the Americana. She doesn't even take it. Just says, "That's a cheap one" and lets go. That stung more than if she'd taken it.
Exhibit I
Rolling with a smaller white belt. He takes my back. Gets the body triangle. I try and attack his legs but he's got it set right and gets the choke. We reset, I take his back. I go for revenge and try to get a body triangle. He gets the leg lock.
Yes, all of this was within 10 minutes of each other.
White belts (in BJJ) shouldn't know leg locks...I suspect a sandbagger.Exhibit G

Really? That's pretty dangerous.We teach leg locks in our white belt class. Quit accusing people you don't know based on comments you don't understand.

Do you mean you were crossing your ankles from the back?Exhibit I

It's typically twisting locks like heel hooks that are restricted for lower belts. Straight ankle locks are legal for white belts in IBJJF competition, as is the lock you can catch people with if they cross their ankles while on your back.Really? That's pretty dangerous.
A lot of BJJ schools dont, mostly because leg or ankle locks and white belts are an injury prone training combo.
Seriously, sandbagging white belts is a serious concern. People with significant grappling experience love to sign up as white belts just so they can dominate.
Do your white belts also choke out black belts?
Yeah true, I was referring to the stuff mentioned in the article I posted, especially knee stuff. White belts have specific limitations with heel hooks too.It's typically twisting locks like heel hooks that are restricted for lower belts.

Do you mean you were crossing your ankles from the back?
Yes, but not just crossing the ankles, I was trying to lock a full-on triangle on his body.Do you mean you were crossing your ankles from the back?
You can go between the legs. Just lock off 1 leg.Yes, but not just crossing the ankles, I was trying to lock a full-on triangle on his body.
Apparently you're supposed to do it in the sides, instead of between the legs.
I come from a non-belted system and the approach is different is different from me. It's likeIn BJJ belt colour is essentially correlated to skill, but in sparring skill is only one determining factor of success. Strength, athleticism, weight, age etc all play their part so a blue belt won’t always beat a white belt
Also BJJ is a broad subject and it’s perfectly possible for a lower belt to be more knowledgeable and skilled in a certain situation and win that particular battle
Belt color doesn't factor in other skill sets and abilities that someone may have. People often get caught up on the belt instead of the skill. That's why why the white belt belt pranks work. If the had focused on the skills then they would quicky understand that the person they were rolling with has skills beyond the white belt definition.In BJJ belt colour is essentially correlated to skill, but in sparring skill is only one determining factor of success.
