My small unathletic White Belt swept someone 80lbs heavier

Want to know what makes me the happiest as a BJJ coach?
​

Watching a student hit a new technique that I KNOW I taught him. It’s the best!

​

And that happened yesterday, let me tell ya the story.

​

I have this young kid we’ll call Reginald.

​

Reginald started training with me in June after getting jumped. He’s not ultra athletic or anything but he’s dedicated and has grit.
​

Well, yesterday Reginald was rolling with a newer White Belt who outweighed him by about 80lbs. During the roll he immediately shot in to half guard with the outside hook and hit the Foot Grab sweep. And during the 6 minute roll he hit the same sweep several times.

​

I was pumped because we have been drilling half guard for the last 2 weeks and it was awesome to see him put the techniques into action. Against a much larger person no less.
​

Although I’m not surprised since half guard is my go-to position against bigger people.
​

And if you’d like to learn the exact style of half guard I use and teach my students then just press the link down below and I’ll teach you the ways of the Jiu-Jitsu Sweeper.

​

One takeaway to end our little BJJ chat this morning is that I’ve also watched Reginald fail miserably at the same sweep.
​

And maybe that’s what made it even better. Watching him fail, keep at it and then finally hit it. Because those are transcendent moments that carry over into everything else.
​

I hope that no matter what you do on or off the mat you do the same.
​

Hope you have an amazing weekend. Chat with you Monday.
