when you roll for the first time relax and don't spaz...I repeat, relax and don't spaz. Just flow and move and try to learn.

You are talking about taking elbows, knees, feet. But all is that is from fast movements not strength. Which was my focus on not doing and differentiating.

But you guys keep thinking I’m saying what I’m not.



You can’t just castrate someone and have them lay there and be a fish or flow roll. They need to roll, and showing them the difference between being a fast spaz flailing and getting grips and fighting to hold frames, with real strength behind it. Is the safest most productive way to get him used to rolling and safely applying himself physically with real effort.
Its not a small line added in. ITS THE VERY FIRST THING YOU LEAD WITH, AND TOLD HIM.

No one is telling him to be a dead fish, thats all you.

And you know its always better to roll lighter while starting, that you will end up rolling much harder than you think, and that its much better for your future development / personal safety / safety of others to relax and focus on technique and proper form.

There isnt a single upper colored belt that will say "I wish I used more 100% strength when I first started, than focusing more on technique / breathing / form / proper movement and positioning."
