 About the ways to surrender in a Brazilian jiu jitsu fight

Although it may seem obvious to those who have been in Brazilian jiu jitsu for some time, for those who are starting out it is not so easy to find a way to express that we give up due to a submission, danger of injury or simply due to fatigue or overwhelm.

For this reason, it is important to know how to express that you give up in a Brazilian jiu jitsu fight.

Possibly the most used way is to hit lightly, with the palm of the hand on some part of the opponent's torso or on his arms.

The second way can be to kick against the ground in case both of our arms are blocked.

And the third and surely the most efficient is to express it verbally saying "Tap".

As we said initially, it is very important to recognize that many times we must indicate that we want to stop the fight not only because we are caught in a submission but also to communicate that a finger has been trapped, that we are going to fall badly or that we are going to fall on top of someone else.

Finally, it is also important that you know if you are starting out that there are many submissions in Brazilian jiu jitsu that do not cause pain until a tear of muscles, ligaments or other structures occurs: this is the case of the knee, arm and mata leon for instance.

In these cases, the hyperextension in place does not hurt until the moment of the breaking, that's why it is important  to communicate that we want to stop the fight at the moment we see that we cannot get out of the submission.

Another very important issue is what happens in the case of strangulations.

In most cases in Brazilian jiu jitsu, they are blood flow cutting and affect blood flow to the brain, so they don't  cause pain or shortness of breath as is commonly thought.

That is why it is also very important to know that you can become unconscious in a few seconds if you persist in getting out of a well-engaged strangulation and that the correct thing to do is to express that you surrender verbally or with your hand.

About the blue belt requirements in brazilian jiu jitsu

Image
The blue belt is considered by many great masters of brazilian jiu jitsu the foundation for all the evolution up to the black belt. Rickson Gracie for example has commented: “What the athlete lacks after the blue belt is practice and reflexes. He has everything he needs to be a black belt, he just lacks consistency.” That is why most of the academies and teams that have proposed a system of requirements to access the blue belt have included a large number of techniques and aspects that seem like a world to anyone who is starting out. It is true that whatever this system of requirements is, a practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu must acquire very important basic knowledge and skills in the different areas of the game. You will need to learn basic movements, transitions, and develop muscle tone, stamina, as well as improve weight distribution and control. You will need to acquire knowledge and techniques of self-defense and to fight on your feet, pull and pass the guard, as well as defend

About the Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Image
The purple belt is one of the most rewarding belts in Brazilian jiu jitsu but at the same time one of the most frustrating for many people when they don't see the brown belt coming. In our opinion, the fundamental problem with the purple belt is that it requires the development of a personal game, where each person begins to choose and perform certain techniques and combine them to make them more efficient. Whereas a blue belt knows the basics and has an arsenal of  techniques so to speak, the purple belt begins to specialize in some guard passes, takedowns, sweeps  and submissions. It is at this point where it is necessary to understand that the development of this game of combinations is something very personal and that it takes a different time for each person. Many purple belts ask teachers what they need to do to get to brown or believe that evolution depends on learning more techniques instead of polishing their techniques and combinations to make them more efficient.
