In today’s video I answer a question I get from a lot of wrestlers in BJJ. And in the video I’ll share an idea that I think will help any former wrestler getting in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. But I also think it’s an important idea for ANYONE getting into BJJ that’s been good in another sport […]
Today’s video comes from a newer BJJ White Belt who’s wondering if BJJ is worth all the injuries. He says he’s curious because he sees all the “old timers” in his gym and realizes they’ve all had an injury or two. And as a young guy who’s just getting into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he’s wondering, is […]
Today’s BJJ technique video is from one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes where I showed one of my favorite setups and armlocks from Full Guard / Closed Guard. The focus of the setup is to get the person’s hand on the mat or on the outside of your body which will allow you to snag […]
Today’s Sunday video (which is my not-so-BJJ videos) I share an idea I recently heard on the Lex Frimad podcast. It’s an idea about a situation that happened with some famous Jazz musicians. I’m a big fan of comparing other forms of art to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and the combat arts. In many cases they’re littered […]
Today’s video is in response to a question I got from a small guy who’s struggling with big guys during his BJJ training. He’s a self-described bean pole who’s struggling to hold top position against his training partners. He says he tries to hold mount a lot. And he also says that since he’s a […]
Today’s video is a series of stretches I like using after BJJ training to help improve recovery from hard rolling sessions and improve guard retention abilities. I started doing these back in 2020 to loosen up my hips while I had some free time away from the gym. I’m a person who’s not the most […]
Today’s video is a full day of eating and a look at my 3100 calorie diet I’m currently using fuel my BJJ training, lifting and to lose weight. Last year I leaned out for a BJJ competition and it worked out great. I started at 211lbs and made it down into the mid 190s. This […]
Today’s video is an idea that came from questions I received from both BJJ White Belts and higher belts who are rolling with brand new White Belts in their gym. Basically, the White Belts are injuring people on accident or being super spazzy and feeling bad about it. On the flip side the higher belts […]
Today’s video is a question about dirty grapplers in BJJ competitions. By dirty grapplers I mean people who are willing to cheat and bend rules in order to win. The question comes from a Blue Belt who was recently competing against a tough wrestler and got oiled checked when he sunk in a submission. Now […]
Today’s BJJ video comes from a recent situation inside my gym. I share it because the core of what’s going on is something that helped me over the years with motivation and my ability to track my overall progress (which can be tough to do in BJJ). Now it’s going to seem maybe slightly disrespectful […]
