I did well in the beginning. Takedown, control, back control. Thought i was winning. Then i feel my arms going numb and becoming short of breath. Basically i gassed out in under 3 minutes. Eventually i tapped to a choke. Needless to say, my cardio is a mess. What advice do you have for a new white belt to get that cardio going?

Guy in my early twenties btw

Why does bjj attract so many software engineers?

Edit: basing this off my experience at my gym in NYC, not off Reddit or internet

What's that "one thing" you're known for in your gym? That thing that someone makes a comment about without naming names, but everyone knows who they mean.

For me it's lockdown from bottom half. I've been using it a lot for years, and have weird hip mobility that helps make it more effective for me. A while back we'd been going through a half-guard series, and one night our coach said "Tonight we're going to work on passing the lockdown" and everyone just immediately looked straight over at me. When I'm rolling and end up in bottom half everyone knows that it's almost a guarantee I'm going for the lockdown, and there are a lot of disappointed sighs when I get it locked in.

It's not that no one can pass my lockdown or anything, but I do use it to quite good effect on people my skill level and below, and I can at least make it a nuisance for my betters.

What's your "thing"?
