Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Estonia
This is one of the videos ranking the best exercises for grappling strength that I have found useful.
I very much enjoy Alex Sterner’s Instagram. He gives out valuable tips on exercising and recovery. Emphasising sleep and nutrition. And constantly mocking cold plunges, weird diets, weird exercises, functional training etc. Hilarious content.
This video by B Team also helps to explain some simple exercises and the rationale behind each of them this way.
I will start posting things here that I find on social media where BJJ athletes talk about their injuries. Not to scare anyone away from starting with BJJ but to give a realistic overview of what is probably going to happen to you when you are more competitive than a regular slacker.
This Instagram post by Tom DeBlass (41) really made me think about how unhealthy BJJ actually is. When I reached the place where he says “At 41 years young…” I was really amused because I thought – by everything he had just described – that he is older than 60.

Möödunud nädalavahetusel toimus Soomes, Vantaas väga tore BJJ võistlus BJJ Finnish Open 2023. Mulle tundub, et see võikski olla meie piirkonna kõige olulisem gi võistlus – vöötasemeid on palju ja osalejaid samuti palju. Samuti osales (vähemalt) üks väga kõrgel tasemel BJJ täht Espen Mathiesen, kes võitis kõik enda kategooria (-83 kg, pruunid ja mustad vööd) matšid alistusega 3-4 minutiga kuid avatud klassis kaotas Kjetil Lydvo‘le (Frontline Academy blackbelt, 94.3+ kg), kes avatud klassi lõpus võitis.
Kimono tuleb pesta pärast iga treeningut. Hea mõte on pesta (kergelt) ka enne esimest kasutuskorda, sest muidu võib värske gi jätta partnerile ja sinu kehale igasugust sodi/pudi.
Kimonot pestakse pesumasinas ja kasutada tuleb ka pesuvahendit (pesupulber, pesugeel). Mina pesen 30-40 kraadi juures (kuidas kunagi tuju on), kuivatan 800 pöördega tsentrifuugis suurema vee välja + pärast riputan kuivama. Kasutan Mayer Sensitive pesugeeli, mis ei jäta (näiteks kellelgi teise jaoks) rõivastele häirivat lõhna.
My thoughts as a BJJ bluebelt.
I named this post “tips” just to get more SEO juice. These are my observations as a BJJ blue belt to document the way I think of some fundamental things.
As long the fight is on, you are (also) responsible for your safety. People (especially beginners) tend to forget that. If you are in doubt of your safety then you can always stop the roll. If you are not sure that your arm or knee bends that way or if your neck can stand the pressure from that angle – just STOP the roll and take the time to investigate. Stopping the roll is always an option whenever you feel uncomfortable.
I would like to believe that my partner is also taking care of my safety (Wim Deputter) but I don’t always count on that.
Some people want to win at all costs. Some people want to play sports.
It is healthier in the long term to be the one who wants to play. If some people want to win, let them win. Don’t reflect the violence because it doubles the violence. If I get an overly aggressive partner then I will simply stay calm and play an overly defensive game – for example, move between the turtle and running man the whole round.
If you are scared of losing then throw the first round the most embarrasing way possible with one asterix for newer and/or smaller practitioners – make sure you are safe.

I don’t know what is the reason behind it but in training environment people like to give advice outside their scope. Recovery, excercising, nutrition, supplements, medical interventions, financial, life coaching etc. Very often the advice in not of high quality. So it is not wise to implement everything immediately.
If you win because your partner does not know what to do – is there really (an honour in that) win? (by Priit)
Brasiilia jiu-jitsu IBJJF euroopa meistrivõistlused toimuvad 23.-29. jaanuaril Pariisis. Siit saab vaadata osalejaid klasside kaupa, tulemused leiab siit.
Otsisin klubide järgi. Võimalik, et ma kõiki ei leidnud. Kui keegi veel osaleb, siis palun jäta kommentaar.
Goodfight vahendab, et esmakordselt algavad Brasiilia Jiu-Jitsu baaskursused Sakus. Treeneriks on Brasiiliast pärit Sergio De Andrade Cabral (Brazilian Top Team Estonia).
Baaskurused kestavad 3 kuud, pärast mida jätkuvad treeningud juba tavapärases rütmis. Treeningud toimuvad Saku Spordikeskuse poksisaalis esmaspäeviti ja kolmapäeviti.

Mulle meeldib kasutada tehnikaid, mis töötavad suurema tõenäosusega ja on turvalised (mulle ja partnerile).
Olen märganud, et algajatele valmistab pettumust, kui asjad ei õnnestu. Aga, mulle tundub, et enamasti ei mõelda, kui suur on tõenäosus, et asjad üldse õnnestuvad.

Dan Hardy Youtube’is on video, kus John Danaher selgitab, miks ja missugused tehnikad tema treeningutel on keelatud. Guard jumping, scissor takedowns, tani otoshi, hüppega alistused üldiselt.
Suurim ohu allikas, mida ta mitu korda rõhutab, on see, kui inimesed kukuvad üksteisele kontrollimatult otsa. Miski muu ei ole nii ohtlik kui kontrollimatult langeva keha raskus.
Miski, mida ta ütleb ja mida ma tahaksin iga kord trennis kuulda on see, et: “Number one cause of injuries is falling bodyweight. Any time you pick people up it is your responsibility to put them down safely. Lifter is responsible of the safety of the other one. Put them down with safety in mind.”
Ohutusest on päris palju räägitud ka B-Team Jiu-Jitsu videotes. Matt Thornton ütleb, et see safe environment on kõige olulisem asi treeningkeskkonna juures.
Tom Mäenurm sai Priit Mihkelsonilt ja Ronald Stimmerilt BJJ musta vöö. Mõne sõna sellest teekonnast kirjutab Tom enda Instagramis ja siin veel.
8 aastat ja 3 kuud peaks olema seni kõige kiiremini saadud must vöö Eestis (kunagi arvutasin neid Beltcheckeri profiilide põhjal).
