Shinedojo Archives: May 2017
I've decided to create the Shinedojo Archives video series! It's really not as fancy as it sounds. Just some homevideos of bjj amateurs having a good time.
Here's a video that was randomly selected from the archives. I say randomly because it has nothing to do with the fact that I got the submission on @jiujitsu (black trunks). LOL
Shout out to @danaedwards on video!!
Judging by the way I look at the beginning of the video, this was one of our last sessions of the day. @jiujitsu and I usually train for hours. When we train at the dojo we usually have to start positional, the mats really aren't designed for take down scenarios. We have been fortunate enough lately to be training at @bjjworldtraveler compound with WAY nicer mats.
At the time of the video I am probably a 2 strip white belt. Still a little lost in the bjj world but starting to put things together a bit. I continue struggle with some things that I can see in the video. I've become very comfortable on my back, and now working inverted more. That at times, especially against a larger opponent, is not a good thing. I ended getting the submission on a sloppy rear naked choke. Ideally, his adams apple should be in the v of my elbow to apply even pressure on both side of the neck, causing a choke out situation. I think the high placement of my hips helped with some extra leverage to his throat making him tap. I did not notice that when I brought my feet hooks in that I crossed my legs. Usually on a rear naked and the chokers ankles are above the hips its ok. If my feet were below his hips he could figure 4 his legs over my feet and foot lock me. Just a little tip of the day.
Honestly, it's been a while since I've sat down and watched a lot of my video. I get a lot out of being about to see my movements and remember the thoughts running through my head. I strongly encourage everyone to video their activities, doesn't necessarily have to be BJJ.

Really enjoyed the video, following to see more. I am 5 months in only and have only done limited sparring. Jealous that you have a sparring partner and space for the home setup! Really want to watch as much tape as I can while I get more into it and wait for more rolling opportunities .
well sir, it looks like you and I have a lot in common! Following!! Looking real quick I see you are big into craft beers! I've been homebrewing for about 4 years now, I think...
@bjjworldtraveler scored us the mats from a gym that was selling them. They are ok for light grappling. We just move the couch out of the way and set up the mats. The open floor plan in our apartment gives us the space needed for it.
@jiujitsu is a good friend and we spar very frequently. We have been doing some live stream stuff and plan on something this saturday evening. I'm currently uploading a video of @danaedwards vs @jiujitsu.
Awesome! I think it's 4 or 5 years for me too. Currently waiting for a Cookies and Creme stout to finish before bottling, super excited. From the outset, there has been a great beer community on Steemit, but it's even more exciting to now see a burgeoning BJJ community. Being fairly new, I am really just soaking in as much knowledge, videos, and exposure I can get. Thank you for joining!
I've got 5 gallons of Saison that's been ready for a week or two. I've just been to busy/lazy to keg it up. I don't get to brew as much with the jiu-jitsu on the weekends. The only beers I bottle now are my special belgians that are usually around 11% abv. I went up to my fathers last fall and he had one in the fridge from 2 years ago...I drank it! mmmm is all i have to say about that
Dude, you look so different back then! That was before you cut all that weight. I left so much space back then. I can't do that at all now :)
Haha I didn't even really notice! You are right though much different now. Yeah you definitely have learned to close the distance on me. Sometimes that still doesn't help you though! :)
"...I say randomly because it has nothing to do.."
I got you :D if I ever share some bjj video with someone, it also NEVER has anything to do with the fact that I either submit someone with more stripes (never got to submit a bluebelt on the video :D) or pull of some cool move :D always sharing completely random :D
It just happens to work out that way sometimes, doesnt it?
I do have plenty of videos of my getting my a$$ handed to me in a basket!!! @bjjworldtravler got me pretty good a few times in the livestreams from last weekend!
Thanks for the time to watch and comment!
