bushido_man96 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 If you have a friend that you are grappling with that is ranked in BJJ or has some Wrestling experience, then I would just train with them. Look around on books and websites for some moves to practice, and work to employ them. That is what I would do.Here is a website I was recently introduced to that may help: http://submissions101.com/ https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best way to get better. Training with him will take that natural ability and refine it. Remember, just because you can handle somebody doesn't mean they can't teach you or that you can't learn from them. You have a wealth of information in the purple belt next door.

As the others have said, practicing with your neighbor is one of the best things you can do other than taking a class. What style does your neighbor do? Is it a grappling art? What you two can get from each other depends a lot on how similar your styles are. Paranoia is not a fault. It is clarity of the world around us.

SBN Doug Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Here is a website I was recently introduced to that may help: http://submissions101.com/I was also amazed at all the resources on Wikipedia. I looked up the name of the hold or submission, and there'd be links to videos, links to associated moves with videos for them...It helped a lot for me in my attempts to get a little more proficient in ground grappling. Then I tried it out in class when we did a little rolling once in a while. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow_Warrior Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 can control my neighbor pretty well and hes a purple belt, i cant afford to start training tho, is there anything i can do at home to get better?You can ´´control ´´ a BJJ purple belt with no previus training ? It soundS VERY weird. A purple belt in BJJ means 4 years of training or more.1) Is the guya REAL BJJ purple belt ?2)Does he weight 100 lbs and you 200 lbs ?3)Is that guy injured? 4) If all above were negative...You are a prodigy , indeed. ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what does ´´control ´´ mean.Are you talking about acquiring a dominant position ?Do you mean that you are submiting the purple belt ?Is very dificult ( near impossible) for any non grappler to stay in a dominant position against a purple belt , unless the begginer were 2x heavier and stronger.When I grapple against purple belts ( luta livre has a very similar grading.....a purple belt is almost the same ) , some days they let me work - and I ´´ control ´´ them and take them down - but just because they are figthing soft. When they do their best...I cant control them , I just survive till I get submited. ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenzoom Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I also take semi-private classes with a purple belt who ways about 155 and I weigh 225, he submits me whenever he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
