Improve Your Jiu Jitsu Rolling Sessions

 


Sparring in Jiu Jitsu is often referred to as “Rolling”. This is because it looks like you’re rolling around on the ground with another person.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling form of martial arts that can be seen in MMA, self-defense, and street fighting. 

With a few tips and tricks, you can significantly improve your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu rolling sessions.

10 Tips & Tricks to Improve Your Jiu Jitsu rolling Sessions 

  • Focus on Using Techniques You Learn Instead of Strength
  • Communicate with Your Rolling Partner
  • Understand that You are Not Going to Win Every Roll
  • Have a Great Understanding of Your Body
  • Try to Set Different Goals Each Time You Roll
  • Switch Up Partners You Roll With
  • Know Your Roll
  • Make Sure You Practice Combining Different Moves
  • Ask for Feedback after Your Roll
  • Don’t Be Afraid to Tap Out Early

Why are Rolling Sessions Important in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Well, rolling is the perfect way for you to put the skills that you are trying to learn to the test.

By sparring, you or your coach can see where your strengths and weaknesses are. Not only is it a great way to know that you understand the art, but it is also a teaching approach that shows you how you will use the skills in real life. 

There are different degrees of rolling, which all have different names. Flow rolling and hard rolling are two of the most popular variations.

Flow rolling is often used to practice or to warm up, and hard rolling is usually used to prepare for a competition or professional fight.

When you spar with multiple partners, you will come away with a better understanding of where you are as a practitioner BJJ. 

You can refine your technique and see what works for you. Sparring has quite a few advantages that make it a necessary part of any martial art training.

Some training facilities will not allow new people to spar initially. They may require you to train a few months or achieve a certain level before you can participate in live rolling. Waiting to roll is so that you know the technique to reduce the risk of injuring yourself or your partner.

Advantages of Rolling in Jiu Jitsu

  • Helps you understand how to distribute your weight during fights.
  • Gives you a better understanding of what angles and moves work best with your technique.
  • Sparring is a great way to learn how someone may react to a specific move that you use.

  • You can begin to know how to predict what moves may be coming at you.
  • Is a great way to gain respect from peers and trainers. 
  • You can try new moves without feeling like you are risking injury.

Pierre Manzo and Arthur Leroy from Jiu Jitsu Family at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken

  Yesterday, Saturday, we had the visit of our brother and good friend, Pierre Manzo , black belt under Robert Drysdale , and Head Coach at Jiu Jitsu Family. Along with him, one of his students, a talented 20 year old monster, who has been training already, in teams like the B-Team in Texas with Craig Jones, Nick Rodriguez, Nicky Ryan, Oliver Taza, etc..    The Open Mat started as usual at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken at 11:00, where every team is welcome and completely free of charge. Pierre and I got together for more than an hour where we were able to kill each other and exchange knowledge during the rolls, as well as help him with the mechanics of some of my leglocks. I also had the opportunity to roll with Arthur, Pierre's talented young student, a very technical guy with great precision on his attacks, with very good guard passes to back take, dangerous! Very dangerous. So I had to be careful with my leg attacks, avoiding at all times exposing my back by actively changing positi

BJJ SAARBRÜCKEN: Trivium’s Matt Heafy “BJJ is a way of life”

  Matt Kiichi Heafy  is one the many rock stars bitten by the Brazilian jiu-jitsu bug. The 31-year-old lead singer and guitarist for the heavy metal band Trivium has been training BJJ since 2013 (ten years after the band’s first album), and he has developed such a fondness for the Gracie art that he brings a trainer and a set of mats around with him on tour. Even if you’re not a heavy metal fan, you’re probably familiar with Matt Heafy. Last year, our very own Emil Fischer  sat down with him  to talk about his love of Brazil’s soft art. Yesterday afternoon, Emil once again sat down with Heafy, who’s now a two-stripe purple belt. This time, though, I had the pleasure of joining in. The three of us talked about leg locks and Heafy’s love for Eddie Cummings’ style, a style which Matt sadly feels he has inadequately replicated. He even went so far as to apologize to Cummings for it. He also found out that for Matt Heafy, the saying “BJJ is a way of life” is more than just a cliche.  Brazil
