First Day Of BJJ Was Yesterday (MOMA)

As the thread title says. My academy has a beginner’s class so I rolled with a couple of beginners and a blue belt. Learned a cross collar choke, basic guard pass, and a scissor sweep.

I trained Muay Thai on and off for a long time, maybe 7-8 years of training total, but I haven’t been in an academy training since 2018. I’ve been training alone in my garage and while my son trains, hitting the bag, sparring with a buddy occasionally. But this is my first time doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I’m beyond excited.

I’ll try to post what I learn in here. Maybe you fags can give me some technical advice on modifications or set ups I can use for my fundamentals. I wanna be creative with my set ups and experiment with them, I don’t wanna do the same shit as everyone else. If I do all the same shit, later on when I decide to compete it will be easy to predict what I’m gonna do. I want to have a game with very good fundamentals but hard to predict.

The guard pass I learned was one knee in asscrack, extend other leg straight back. Push partner’s knee down and pin it, then step over. Not sure what the pass is called.

That’s the step over toe hold it is used to set up the figure four leg lock

Seriously, enjoy!

I have 30 years on the mat and can’t train due to - surprisingly unrelated - injuries, possibly for a long while.
