  1. It is for a while until you've adapted.

  2. A lot of bjj classes are super wasteful with the time. It's like 1/3 of the time pissed away in meaningless warmups with no purpose. Then random technique, then free sparring. Imo it should be a little bit of drills as warm up, a very short demonstration of some techniques (bcs you give people a video to watch before class). Then you work on the position with various levels of resistance. Maybe playing constrained games. Then positional sparring. Strength and cardio are for the weight room / outside.

  3. Spending 30min on shit that has nothing to do with jiu jitsu and doesn't even require a matt is straight up scamming people.

  4. ​ @jeannazario2996 Someone, who has spend 30min 3x a week working on and discussing positions with various partners VS someone, who spend 30min 3x a week doing jumping jacks... I bet all my cash on the former.

  5. That's the dumbest thing I ever read. Besides, pulling guard would probably work better than shooting for a takedown.

  6. In that case just roll faster or for longer.

  7. ​ @bodrulm1 They don't.

  8. ​ @theyoungfool.1895 That's total bullshit. Would you do your maths homework deliberately sleep deprived? Do you think that'll make you better at the test? No, you learn best when you're optimally rested. Trying to combine cardio with learning is just silly.

  9. So you're pissing away 1/3 of the time.

  10. ​ @Sakattack2023 If you're doing strength training or cardio during jiu jitsu practice, you're straight up getting scammed. You're paying money for stuff you can do for free.

  11. ​ @Sakattack2023 It's 100% a waste. Doing a bunch of burpees bcs your coach doesn't know shit about teaching won't make you significantly strong. Competitive wrestlers lift weights and in general put extra time into conditioning. All the time on the matts should be for stuff that you can only do on the matts with other people. If you're running on the matts, your coach is a moron or straight up robbing you.

  12. ​ @ozjack2717 No, they don't. If you run around in any other practice, you're also being taken advantage of. You literally have the entire rest of the week to run. You're paying to be taught a skill and you receive nothing.

  13. ​ @ynotlearn4190 You're paying 50€ a month to run on matts rather than run outside? Imo dumbass warmups and technique demonstrations that lead nowhere are the #1 reason people don't get better. When you use 2 hours to actually work on a technique or position back and forth and try stuff out, you're making more progress than someone, who does jumping jacks and push ups and gets a bit of instruction does over several weeks.

  14. ​ @BrazilianJiuJitsu101 Wrestling and judo programs are for little kids that are groomed into winning medals for a country. They're not good for the individual athlete either, but merely supposed to find talented kids. If you pay for running on matts, you're getting scammed. There's simply no way around that. You're paying for something that's completely free.

  15. I have never seen someone get meaningfully stronger from this bullshit. There's no progression. It's impossible for some and super easy for others. It's not nearly enough volume. There's a bunch of courses at my university that basically just do that, a variety of bodyweight training combined with cardio and those ppl stay perpetually small. Besides, you don't need matts or partners for any of that shit. When you're on the matts with others, you should do stuff that requires matts and partners.

  16. You're paying 50€ a month to do jumping jacks on a matt. You're literally being scammed.

  17. Wrestlers are going way too hard too often. The optimal is somewhere in the middle. Maybe 25% hard rolls.

  18. People defend themselves with bjj all the time. You can spend tge entire day watching videos of ppl controlling others with bjj techniques "on da streetz".

  19. Absolutely not. A single session of bench pressing probably does more for yoir strength than a month of push ups in warm up. And you don't need a matt or partners for push ups.
