Epi 364 We disagree with some popular BJJ ideas

This month we talk about popular ideas in BJJ what at least one of us will disagree with.

We talk about:

• Leg locks are too dangerous
• Takedowns are not safe for old guys
• You need to train 3 times a week to get better
• You can’t get better without competing
• Get in shape before you start BJJ
• Pulling guard is not good BJJ
• Coaches not rolling or coaches that get tapped out
• All cops should be purple belts
• Athletes are great to learn from
• When I get ____ I will be good at BJJ
• You can’t teach heart
• 10,000 hour rule
• Pressure is a good submission
• Kicking someone’s butt in BJJ is a good way to vent frustrations
