The boys talk about why it’s important to roll with less experienced Jiu Jitsu practitioners to help with both your own goals as well as theirs. Joe Rogan famously stated that if you want to get better at Jiu Jitsu you have to choke the f*ck outta blue belts. Basically you need to be able to try the moves your trying to get proficient at on people who know how to grapple, but can’t yet stop everything you’re trying to do. If all we do is roll with people at our level or higher it’s going to be a hard road to get better yourself. Many people mistakenly think if they keep getting destroyed by upper belts this will force them to get better. This is not true. We also hear all the time that it’s boring to roll with people you can easily beat. There’s many problems with this statement including the fact that you used to be that bad as well until enough people helped you. Be courteous enough to do the same. Plus, if you focus on learning rather than winning, a lot clan be gleaned by rolling with the less skilled. This is especially true when you work on one particular thing or handicap yourself during the rolls. So, pick a partner and start working.
