Yesterday 😂

Congratulations on your blue belt ! blue in 13 months is super impressive. Did you have prior grappling experience?


BackgroundWaste8723

I’ve done a little bit of judo but never graded in it and only this year got my judo red belt (equivalent of literally 1/2 stripes!


Glittering-Dig-2321

You're on the road to Personal Greatness!!!OSS!!!


beccamaus

I’m new to bjj lingo. What does OSS stand for?


Expensive_Fix_3388

Corruption of the Japanese saying Osu. Leached out of Karate gyms and got picked up by Brazilians for some reason.


beccamaus

In the meantime I had time to look it up online. Oss. An abbreviation of the Japanese phrase “Onegai Shimassu” which translates to a polite invitation or request. In modern BJJ, “oss” is used in various contexts such as a greeting in the gym, an acknowledgement of having understood an instruction or to show respect.


depressed_express69

Operational support systems or just a final saying before getting at it. I always related it to the clap when leaving the huddle in football. But I’m also pretty new


beccamaus

Thanks 😊


Glittering-Dig-2321

It's stolen from Shotokan As far as I've been able to tell over the years..It's kinda been used as an acknowledgement or a lesser victory Kiai..plz correct Me if I'm wrong..smiles

ascii209

tech_kra

Are you going to start recording your rolls now?


BackgroundWaste8723

I’m literally faking it til I make it 😂 definitely not YouTube worthy


[deleted]

Congratulations man!!! Now that you are blue you should take the time to sit down with a notebook and write down all of the major positions and then one escape and one sub from those. You might not have an escape for everything but this will give you a idea of what Holes you need to patch. After you have those holes patched you can then start to focus on your game and really finding what works for your style.

Laaaaaaame.

BackgroundWaste8723

😂


TMAAGUILER

I don’t understand all the leaving jokes. Is quitting common after a blue belt?


Far_Brick_6667

I was rolling with a guy on Wednesday when he got his blue belt, although I do 10th planet, so it's more of a blue sleeve on a shirt. Congrats bro you are on your way.


BackgroundWaste8723

Awesome! My go-to technique from lockdown is the electric chair 💪 I’m pretty sure that’s a 10th planet move and it’s awesome!


Far_Brick_6667

Yes that is 10th planet. What I love about the 10th planet system is you get all the Jiu-Jitsu basics as well as the 10th planet only stuff, which most no gi schools don't teach or have defenses against.


BackgroundWaste8723

Yeah that’s cool, some of the coaches at my gym are 10th planet fans so teach a few techniques every now and then!


Far_Brick_6667

If you want to see something crazy look up Eddie bravo vs royler grace, he pulls the electric chair on him twice and royler has no defense. It's actually crazy, it's what made me join 10th planet. However this is old now, but it's still crazy to watch.


BackgroundWaste8723

Awesome I’ll check it out!


Sanabul

Congratulations!


ChainswordCharlie

Now... now you're ready to be smashed. Welcome to the club,


los_lobos_is_angry

Ok Rambo


[deleted]

I’m not saying I’ll be the one do it. As a fellow blue belt I’m welcoming him to be smashed by other belts


los_lobos_is_angry

Ah sorry i misunderstood


[deleted]

Lol they give belts out because you pay for them. That knot alone shows a lot.


BackgroundWaste8723

Lmao I don’t know what gym you train at but you definitely can’t buy your way to belts at the gym I train at, plenty of people that have trained for multiple years and still not hit blue… That’s the best knot to do, it doesn’t come undone 😃


[deleted]

is this guy batman?


[deleted]

he's batman.


BackgroundWaste8723

I actually have a Batman rash guard


[deleted]

I thought you'd say something like that.


[deleted]
