Proper hygiene and nail trimming rules you mentioned are absolutely essential. Sometimes we assume people know these basic things. No shame in reminding new people 👍 Will also add in that some of the old school gyms are against sharing techniques - IE, they didn't learn move x until they were a brown belt so neither should you. There should be a focus on fundamentals, but the sport has evolved and styles should as well.

As a 40-something white belt, I probably tap too early when it comes to arm bars. I got sidelined for five years due to a shoulder injury from BJJ and crossfit. So now, I’m probably over sensitive. If I feel like the submission is close, my partner is putting in some effort, and I don’t have an answer for it, I tap even if it isn’t quite at the point of no return. Once I do though, I’ll tell my partner, and then let them finish the technical side more slowly so that they can finish the technique and I’m not going to the ER. I would rather tap to the position and then ease in to the submission rather than try and stick out the last few seconds and go home with a torn rotator cuff.

I tapped late once to an armbar and hyperextended it and was hurt for at least a month so now anytime my partners break my grip for the armbar I will tap right away. I also try not to tap from pressure such as knee on belly pressure and body lock or side control pressure from bigger/stronger opponents but at times I am very close to tapping.

@@MrNbkelly Ok, I'll put pressure on you, and you tell me when your lower ribs are about to dislocate or break. Ribs, knees etc do not have the same nerve response that other parts of the body do. Sometimes it's not easy to tell when something will pop, dislocate, break etc. So, in general I agree with the above that squeezing is not technique, and it can cause injuries. It's literally an instant, binary feeling of "There's pressure but it doesn't hurt" and "oh shit something hurts like hell!". Elbows give you lots of warning, and don't immediately break when you feel pain. And sometimes, with knees, you might only feel the real pain AFTER your tear something. Just look up the video of the guy who is squeezing his own leg doing an improper triangle technique, and pops his leg out of it's hip socket... I'm sure if he felt appropriate pain before his entire leg literally dislocated, he would have stopped pulling his own leg. Some things are just not obvious.

Here is a thing to add, don't just brush your teeth before training. FLOSS. The stuff that smells nasty and gets blocked between your back teeth doesn't come out with just a toothbrush. And with no flossing, it stays there and decays and smells pretty bad... Mouthwash won't cut it either, and usually water floss (waterpik) won't fully take it out half the time... Physically removing it with a string, rubbing both sides of the gap, is the only way. I actually had to tell that to a few training partners... I did take them aside, with nobody else listening, at the end of the session, and prefaced it with "I have something a bit challenging to talk about but that's only because I care that I'm making the effort to talk about it". And it went well. Now their breath doesn't stink anymore...

My rule about using strengh is, you can use strength while rolling, but try not to use brute strength to complete a submission. You can use strength by applying slow steady pressure, which gives your partner time to recognize the danger of imminent submission and enough time to tap from it, but you should not yank away like your life depended on it. That's how injuries occur.

I'm brazilian, and about the whole Creonte thing, it's basically because the Gracies used to run BJJ gyms here in the 70s to early 2000s like gangsters. They would also attack and spank other martial artists in the streets and invade their gyms, etc, people just loved to feel like they were part of fighter gangs back then, that's why when you see brazilian fighting teams like Chute Boxe and Brazilian Top Team fighting each other it looks like there's animosity (just watch Wanderley Silva x Ricardo Arona for a good example) - that's because they fough all the time on the streets. Also, the term Creonte has a ultra cringe origin. Yeah, it's a greek term for traitor, because of the story of Creon, son of Menoeceus, but that's not how it was introduced in BJJ. Actually there was a Brazilian soap opera (called Mandala, run between 1987 and 1988) where a character was called creonte because he was dirty and not trustworthy. Yeah, kinda anticlimatic.

I have never heard the “face the wall when you tie your belt or pants” one. I don’t really understand it even for pants. It’s not like I’m dropping them, I’m just resting a drawstring. I have had training partners start to tap just to position and it’s incredibly frustrating. If I sweep a couple guys (who are the same rank I am) and take half guard or side control they tap and say “I never get out of that”. I usually offer to work through the position with them but try wave it off and want to reset. Of course, we inevitably end up back in that position and repeat the cycle.

I don't agree with not asking to higher belts to roll, if they don't want they can just say no. The rules about safety and hygiene i agree of course.

These rules are stellar, and I mostly agree and I think more gyms the be explicit with them, especially hygienic and safety rules. I do go to a gym where I have seen guys who were too rough with women get "beat up", basically just tapped over and over by a black belt, not physically harmed, and while talking is great and probably best, it was nice to know the coach had our backs. Any combative sport can be intimidating, but it can be extra scary as a woman coming in and not knowing if the men in the gym will respect you.

Absolutely agree with the "gatekeeping" rules protecting upper belts being bs. Most gyms I've trained at, the upper belts will only roll with tough guys after the lower belt has been tired out a bunch

"Creonte is a Brazilian Portuguese pejorative term roughly meaning "traitor" that is used within Brazilian jiu-jitsu organizations" " to refer to a former student who is perceived to be disloyal due to starting an independent school, switching associations, or otherwise moving on from a longstanding relationship with an academy or instructor." Wasn't the introduction of the secret sauce from Japan to Brazil an example of this? Kidding... I'm kidding Totally thought this was a Japanese concept

Only one I sort of disagree about is the promotion one. BJJ is a laid back martial art, generally. But there's plenty of instructors out there doing fuckery with promotions, and when it happens they should be called out for it. Everyone who has no intention of quitting BJJ should be striving toward black belt. And that can't happen if belts are being withheld for bullshit reasons. "Why haven't I been promoted?" is a valid question to me. Either your instructor will be able to give you the brutal truth or they will get defensive and act like you've just asked a woman her weight or something.

My first time sparring in Muay Thai, I threw some knees, and apparently the coach (was a student) said back to me "no knees or elbows" but I did not hear him because my adrenaline was through the roof and I had tunnel vision and a helmet on. When I started throwing them again, he started going beserk on me trying to throw a bunch of shots, while screaming "I [shot] said [shot] NO [shot] knees [shot] or [shot] ELBOWS [shot]. Pretty unprofessional to do to someone when you never laid out the rules before the spar and they are a novice.

In regards to rule 21 don’t talk through a submission. I’m a white belt but when newer guys come in and get me in a sub, I feel them twisting, pulling, cranking and not finding the point that causes pain/discomfort/choke, I’ll talk them through it. Is this okay or am I being a d*ck?

I think the "turn away to tie your belt" or to in general fix your uniform is an old school respect thing. You want to present yourself to the gym, the professors, and the class when you are put together and looking sharp, whereas "getting dressed" is something you do in private. It's more symbolic than actual.

In this situation the person without the Gi should not be grabbing the other person's Gi and using it for grips. Off limits imo.

Weird. I always ask a higher belt to roll because inwant to learn from someone with more experience regardless that ill get destroyed. Its also safer than some of these new white belts. I dont ask to roll with them because i think i will be a challenge to them.. is this still considered rude? They dont seem to mind it and 2 of them even asked me to roll the next class

haha in the gym I train in BKK higher belts usually look forward to roll with lower belts as a break in between heavy rolls. I think it's more me asking for an educational roll when being aproached higher belt to make sure I won't get smashed! My coach actually asked me couple of weeks ago if I am ready for a blue belt test and I said no:) He looked a bit puzzled and I said I am not taking the test until I can tap people with all the techniques that are on the test. As for the tap I was competing in no gi and I got into guillotine and nearly went to sleep as he was not reacting to my taps and the judge was on the other side, had to liver punch that guy:)

Altough the rules are unwritten , perhaps they should be and posted on a conspicious place. Perhaps a copy given to new members and guests. And commited to memory. "No running at the pool" is common sense but still there are signs everywhere just to keep safety perdomminate in a persons mind as the message slowly sinks into the subconcious and becomes just the way.

I decided to part ways with my gym today due to the ‘move for higher belts’ scenario which unfortunately nearly resulted in a brawl between myself and the egotistical higher belt who decided it’s ok to basically kick me multiple times and bully me out of the way cause I was close to him 😂 Long story short, there’s more issues than just that leading up to it stemming from the head coach downwards. Onwards and upwards, probably didn’t help that I have a wrestling background either

My first time at the mat I had to roll with a girl she was fierce but there was an obvious weight and strength gap. Due to this I was able to take control of the roll but I knew if I was a girl she would probably dominate me. I feel at an Impasse about using my weight and strength advantage. Though I'mstarting to think that it hurts me more than it does her.

Desire Clarification: “Grabbing Fingers” - Do you mean grabbing individual fingers (which is both dangerous and a kind of a dick move), or grabbing all four at once? I routinely grab/“control” all 4 fingers at the same time. As a small guy (140#) it helps me control their arm movements particularly when defending from bottom side or back or turtle … AMITA? I fully agree with all your other unwritten rules. With thanks, [10P&GJJ Blue]

The dynamic of owning a gym is that it is also a business. The maintaining of the belt integrity and keeping people interested is real. Unfortunately, i think some gyms don’t realize this. There is this kinda attitude that you either have to be all in for BJJ and its not a big deal that its a business. This is just stupid. You can run an outstanding gym and an excellent business. I do think the vague belt system is just dumb and I personally want to earn my belts but I don’t like the unknown dynamics of the belt system. its really cryptic and I have seen some KZitem personalities actually brag about it. It also creates sandbaggers that stay in blue or purple too long and dominate any competitions. Really guys did you do something extraordinary by doing this? Not at all. LOVE THE CHANNEL. Best wishes from Salt Lake City Utah. Unified forever.
