Back in the 90s, the blue belts where I trained all said that the best self defense training you could get was sparring with a new white belt because they would go crazy and do unpredictable stuff.

I’m a white belt 4 months in. I did a lot of research going in so I made it an early goal to not be a “spazzy” white belt. But at the same time several people said I can’t be afraid to try new things and experiment on the mat. So the middle ground I’ve found that works is that trying new things is okay as long as I remain hyper-aware of where my body is as well as there is some sort of logical reason I’m doing whatever I’m trying

This is my problem. I don't spaz at all, I like to focus on breathing and staying calm and maintaining base and pressure, when I'm in a good position. When in guard I try to keep guard and regaurd when I'm passed, which is kind of boring but I won't try to go for something unless the opportunity presents itself and I spend a lot of time trying to stay out of danger. I'm a no stripe white belt for the record.

First I stopped doing any inversions when rolling with new people, as a 50lb heavier dude sat directly on my spine. Then I decided to avoid all the white belts. Last week I got guillotine slammed by a brand new blue belt, who just got his orange to blue. Now my plan as a 130lb woman to stay alive, is to stick with the 40+years and purple or higher belts, as they do not think that every roll is a part of the Dana White Contender series.

I’m a white belt. I’ve been training for three months and have already been injured several times by more experienced white belts. It’s extremely frustrating. I don’t get why people are spazzy and go super hard like it’s an actual fight. Its PRACTICE. I’m always controlled and try to take care of my partner but not everyone shares this same attitude. BJJ instructors need to do a better job talking about injury prevention when rolling, especially with newer students. It doesn’t seem to be a focus at all. You’re just thrown to the wolves on your first day. I don’t want to quit but I might if I keep getting injured.

I can relate to this, In April of this year I joined a gym, and by June I rolled with a heavier white belt and he put all his weight into me(while standing), crushed my back, just felt like 3 seperate pops in my back, layed on ground for like a minute. I knew it was broke. The gym really didn't care that I was hurt, Coach just made a joke about like me going to chiropractor. I went and got an MRI of my back, had compression fracture in t12 and now I have like 6 bulging discs(Lumbar and Thorasic), and have tingling throughout body. I haven't trained since. Worst injury of life, I am 31 yrs old. Been seeing a actual chiropractor for decompression. I still wouldn't would love to train again, maybe at diffeerent gym becasue I reached out to see if the gym could help pay some medical bills but they ghosted me for sure.

As a white belt just don't roll with other white belts, unless you know them to be fair with their partners. Newer white belts will be unpredictable, older white belts have something to prove since they've been getting beat non stop for the last year or 2. Rolling with purple belts they often get me into a pin I can't escape and I will ask for advice, rather than crank me into an over zealous armbar they usually tell me an escape or sweep, and we do a quick drill of it before going further into them twisting me up lol.

White belt here as well, I started late October. It took me 2 weeks before I realized that I was relying to much on strength rather than technique when rolling. To fix that, I started rolling with heavier/taller opponents so it forced me to improve my technique. It's honestly paid off. Now I'm more controlled and my timing is getting better, instead of being so aggro. The people at my gym have been encouraging and helpful, and I'm glad to say I haven't had any injuries or injured anyone.

I’ve been weightlifting for years, (injury free) and more recently started BJJ. As a new white belt (two months) I appreciate the more experienced white belts and also blue belts want to practice submissions on the inexperienced guys, but they just wrench them on so quickly without warning it’s pointless. Both elbows are jacked up from arm bars, and my wrist is sprained from a wrist lock… what is the point of treating practice like and actual death roll? It’s practice! I appreciate you have to roll and ‘feel’ BJJ to understand it, but being genuinely injured all the time is limiting my time on the mats and becoming really frustrating. Don’t really understand what this culture in BJJ is about… I’m loving BJJ, but this seems counterproductive and limits longevity in the sport. A lot of the time it just seems like there’s a tonne of luck involved in whether or not you’re a white belt that never gets injured… in over a decade of lifting, I’ve never been injured, and in two months I’ve sustained more serious injuries than ever before

As a noob spaz, my partners are lucky that I'm small and old (56yo 5'2" 110#) so my chances of "hurting" them are less. Nonetheless, my better partners help me not to spaz by giving me tips on what I could've done right before I started spazzing out. That way, I learn how to chain things together and to slow down, breathe, and relax, and they get better at teaching and creating a "flow channel" space for optimal learning for both sides. Another great video Chewie! This one helped me to understand how much of a wild-card I can become and not contribute to mutual safety, thanks!

Was training for competition BJJ with a newer white belt in no gi. We started standing and I had taken him down several times with trips but he kept getting back up. Only reason being is that when I went to secure the position, he would legitimately kick and kick me away. I did not want to get near that because it almost seemed like he was trying to strike me. So I instead clinched and pulled him into my guard. Worked a lot better and I was able to get the submission without injuring myself or him due to his roughness. Great video Chewy!

I love that this video subject just came out. I'm just getting over an injury to my neck due to a spazzy white belt. Freak accident. We weren't even rolling. I'm a 4-stripe purple belt and this new dude after class one night asked me if I could go over a position with him, I said yeah cause as a higher belt I'm always down to help out. Anyway the new guy comes from a wrestler background and asks what he should do from pretty much a wrestling referee's starting position (hands and knees). I told him "a lot of Jiu jitsu guys would try for your back in BJJ". He said show me. So I got on his back, put in my hooks, got a seatbelt grip, and normally pressing my head against his back for safety but for instructional purposes my head was up so I could communicate clearer explaining each part (teaching moment)... that was the MISTAKE. As my head was up suddenly the white belt decides to do a Granby roll midway thru my instructional to him. His weight and my weight on my forehead via shoulder roll. My neck snaps back and I lose feeling in my left arm. I couldn't fully look left for 3 weeks, ugh.

I have tendonitis in my forearms which made me want to ask questions about BJJ and longevity. I started talking to purple belts, black belts and even my professor, all of them seem to have injuries; knee operations, shoulder injuries, elbow injuries, etc. I love this sport so much but I don’t think I’m willing to sacrifice my longevity and health over it. I’m 19 right now and I don’t want to be a 40 year old with a cane unable to do any physical activity. This really worries me man as I took a real liking to the sport. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated. Additional information: I train gi and no-gi I also lift weights 5 x per week in the morning Jiu Jitsu evening sessions 5 sessions per week (session: 30mins drilling + warmup, 30mins rolling - I don’t take a break I have decent cardio I usually roll the entire 30mins)

For example, we were in guard or mount and he used his legs to straighten mine and hyper extended my knee. I would've tapped, I just had no idea what was happening.

I treat the upper belts with respect and don’t use dick moves...knuckle in under chin, jamming my forearm under throat when they have side control. Also as a bigger guy you want to be sensitive to your training partner namely don’t smash them it’s just a roll. The injuries I see usually comes from ego by upper belts when they are in a bad position they get evil...solution I tap even in a dominant position. Then they say why? I said it is getting outta control then they ratchet shit down.
@Apfelbaum187

So one of the issues in my experience is, that when rolling you somewhat non verbally agree to a certain speed and power level. If you have one newbie and one more experienced guy, the more experienced one tends to do certain moves with more speed. It is necessary for the move to work, but it still makes the newbie also increase speed or power. So you should also tell the "pro" to keep the same speed against newbies. Oh, and about slamming from a Triangle choke. It is a stupid rule for stupid people. If I can lift you up while you do a triangle choke, you are not doing a good triangle choke. But people often want to force their techniques and do not let go. If you get picked up, you should let loose or immediately tap. But people are stupid and stupid people need to be protected. And that is why it is forbidden.

The smaller more experienced friend tries a triangle and the first thing the new strong one does is try to stand up. I jump up from a seated position and scream/run towards them to stop “Don’t slam him!”. The panic was real. But I have also been in this situation and I just let of the submission and stop to explain that you don’t slam your partner in practice.

Well, after this injury I was thinking to quit cause I got so many small and serious injury then my wife is starting worry about me, but after I discussed with many friends and the only way I can keep train jiujitsu is change my game. Therefore, may I know the mindset of sparring with beginner is that you will take the fully control in every sparring? But I'm struggle if I want to teach them or give them space to lear during the sparing and if I just hold them or submit them, so they can't learn from sparing, cause I used to let them do their skills or movement (try in a safe situation, but obvious cannot be 100% safe) and I will correct them or guide them if once they do anything wrong, so can you give me your opinion? Another question, what is your mind set in sparring with color belts? You will go for submission or more focus in control and guard pass (or sweep)? Thank you so much and hope you will give your opinion by return!! OSS!!

Just sparred with a spazzy white belt for the first time, almost broke my arm. Dude tried to go to side control and then sat on my posting arm, right at the elbow. They are really scarier than rolling with black belts

Hey Chewie, what takedown would you use on a spazzy/brand new guy? Loved the tips in this video but got me wondering about the takedown.

Interesting. I train Gracie JJ, its not sport, so punch defense is part of what we do, and always passing tight and so on. All training happens with the assumption that it's a street fight and someone's trying to take advantage of any opening or weakness in technique, as well as hit you if within reach. So when I hear about this type of Jiu-Jitsu, it's foreign. The sport realm looks like a fun place for people who love Jiu-Jitsu to exercise the art and test themselves and just take part in that world. I can completely appreciate that. But my mind has always been focused on self-defense, so I like to train that way.

I totally have had this issue before a couple times... but it's also sad that this has to be a topic. BJJ was meant to be a martial art, therefore used in a fight situation! From a personal & historical standpoint, if my jui jitsu isn't good enough to control a spazzy white belt, then I need to fix my jui jitsu... not the white belt.

A spazz gave me cauliflower ear on his first roll by cranking a cross choke that wasn't anywhere near my neck. Super annoying and I am not going to roll or train with the guy again.

I'm a white belt but I'm also the biggest guy in the gym so I get the white belts as training partners after they do their free classes. So this will be 2x helpful, not to be an idiot myself, not to eat an elbow.

I'm a white belt and decided to practice a move with another white belt. I always roll with higher belts since they know what they're doing. This dude decided to go way too hard and try to get a submission when all I wanted was to practice a move. I forgot the move so I tapped his arm and said I couldn't remember the rest. Ended up in open guard, I go to stand up and he literally just hangs off my keck via collar hold. I said alright that's enough and he kept going. Took me saying it a few times and tapping his arm a few more times. Pissed me off man. Dude has less experience than me and I'm knew. Fucked up my neck and aggravated a toe injury I'm working around.

White belts are actually great to practice self-defense with. Jokes aside, they regularly put elbows and knees and places they don't belong so you regularly have to be aware of your range. Either all the way in or all the way out or you might catch an elbow or a knee or some weird move or erratic behavior.

As a 2 week old white belt I prefer rolling with the higher belts. I try to be as respectful as I can and not spaz out. I stick to the 3 or 4 moves I know. If I do something wrong like the “hurricane spin” they’re not afraid to stop me and be like wtf was that, or show me something new. With the other white belts I feel like they’re all just trying to smash the new guy to assert dominance

I got a question. Lets say if there's a kid about 10 or 11 years old who wants to wrestle. I'm concerned about the knees from shooting single-legs. Kneepads are gonna be a given, but is there another way they can save their knees for longevity? I'm reminded of this thinking about a conversation with my buddy when I said I was gonna get some cheap running shoes, he told me "you only got 1 pair of knees, buy some good shoes, not some cheap crappy ones"

First (and so far last) time ever in BJJ, me, 30, 300lbs, him 40, 200lbs. I was going easy, but keeping him from doing what he wanted with my strength advantage, so when I was on my back, he posted on me and lifted his whole lower half high in the air, and slammed his knee into my ribs, breaking 2 of them. His excuse was he was trying to pass into mount. So I've been hesitant to try it again, hence looking up these videos.

Assuming the whitebelt is of a reasonably similar size to you, if you're getting injured by a whitebelt during rolling, then you're not actually as good as you think and you probably shouldn't be a "higher belt." Don't get me wrong, sometimes freak accidents happen, but if this is a common thing, then its definitely because you're not controlling the roll, and if you can't control the roll with someone who has little experience in jiujitsu/grappling, then why do you deserve to be a higher belt? Sounds to me like you should still be a white belt.

Been training for about 6 weeks. The other day was doing a warmup roll, with a woman. Was going like 10% super light super slow going but wanted to show respect and give a little bit of defensive resistance. I grabbed her calf area and she tried to rip it out of my grip and popped her own knee super loud like everyone stopped and looked. Shes been out for about 2.5 weeks. I feel like such a dumbass for having a woman get injured while doing a warmup roll with me (even though it was totally inadvertent).

Im probably gonna start at a brazilian jiu jitsu place next year. So for people who‘ve been doing jiu jitsu for a while, is it ok to go for scissor takedowns?, Ive seen some videos where people got injured from it. Im def gonna ask the instructor at the bjj gym, before I roll, but I‘d like to hear from different people.
