Things to learn from rolling with a woman jiu jitsu black belt

"Roll with her every time you get a new belt"

"Rolling with a black belt is like trying to keep an anaconda who controls gravity from choking you."

"She worked him over pretty damn well, imo. As a BJJ purple belt, one of the things I notice most about high level female BJJers tends to be their willingness to let stuff go when it's not working and just move on. It's not an absolute rule of course, but the stronger you are (and thus especially men), the more pronounced the tendency to "insist" on any sub or position you get close to. This is inefficient, but it often works due to sheer power, and therefore ends up staying as a bad habit. 

Smaller BJJers and women in particular often don't develop this habit because, if the technique and timing isn't perfect, they typically don't have the power to just "force" it. So they learn early that they have to "do it right," or it just doesn't get done. You can see that here. Erin abandons a LOT of subs, sweeps, and positions as soon as Shane got any meaningful structure to defend, and immediately and smoothly transitions to another position from which she can threaten him again with something else. If he meaningfully defends, she again abandons and attacks something else. The result was Shane was always behind, and she was never out of position or threatened in any way. 

For those of you who don't know what that's like to be on the receiving end of that, I can assure you it's exhausting. Large and powerful BJJers feel like gorillas, but the lightweights and small females feel like monkeys made of steel cables."

"I would say he did pretty damn great especially if she’s really trying. I’m a blue belt and my female black belt instructor dominated me."
