i trained 2 years of bjj online practicing the moves with my girlfriend at home no backgroung and i finished second in my first tournament ever. i can prove it, i still SUCK and want to learn, but i got the basics good, it's a matter of knowing how much to learn per day, and not to overload your brain. EASY

@nahuelfantino thank you for your advice brother

''Jiu Jitsu isn't complicated if you do the techniques correctly''. LOL anyone understand that?! Ask questions is what i learnt from this.... i e nothing! Obviously catering to the typical demographic that studies BJJ

Very true.

I was told by my BJJ instructor, who studied under Rickson, that Rolls Gracie brought a lot of wrestling principles into Gracie JJ and that he learned the Triangle from an old Judo book. Rolls was considered the best in the family at BJJ before his tragic death.

I call this....Rule #2

@jamesellis33 gracie university is the best way to learn the jiu jitsu basics, if you learn those the way ryron and rener teach it, you'll be able to modify and create techniques, build your style. Keep doing that and pace yourself.

@nahuelfantino I think it is about not just techniques, but rather understanding how each move corresponds to one another. Knowing how to do the right transitions. I'm doing online with gracie university, but I have a background in martial arts. I created a lesson plan. Bjj is this, submissions, transitions, escapes, its about creating a logic tree, which is not difficult. Understanding how principles work is the key to good bjj. Education in symbolic logic helps. ^^

@nahuelfantino what do you think? @kenprimo?

[nahuelfantino]

@smats42 Yep. Information now is free and easy to find thanks to the internet. So if you peace yourself you could get the same results. Now im starting to train to an academy, but i always think this way: "If you go to a local BJJ school, you get to train with partners and live teaching from an instructor(+), but maybe he's not THAT good(-); If you learn from videos you won't practice them much(-), but u learn from Draculino, Marcelinho, Fabio Gurgel, Saulo.. (+)" They cancel each other out.

@nahuelfantino good comment.  i think learning from videos has an important place in martial arts. if you have no access to a good dojo, then its WAY BETTER than nothing. even if you train at a great dojo, videos can be very helpful. i wish there was a youtube full of videos when i started grappling.

my best wrestling move came from a book. i wouldnt have known how to do it properly without many hours on the mat, but it came from a book, not a live instructor. FYI. peace
