7 Butterfly Guard Sweeps to Build an Effective Sweeping Game

/in , , , /by

Today’s video is set of 7 Butterfly Guard sweeps we’ve been drilling in my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes (as of the time of posting this).

They’re very basic techniques. But I’ve found if you combine them together seamlessly, they’re difficult to stop. There are variations of how each move is used but these are some of mine. Hopefully they’re helpful to you with your BJJ training and drilling ideas.

In the video you’ll see . . .

– Over Under Sweep

– Double Overhook Sweep

– Coming Up To 1 Knee to Force the Person To Engage

– Failes Over Under to Double Over

– Coming Up for an Ankle Pick

– Armdrag to Back Mount

– Using a Straight Armlock as a Sweep

Thanks for watching the video!

Cauliflower Ear: Gross Disfigurement or Symbol of Toughness?

/in , /by

Recently I was asked if I actually like having cauliflower ear. Many people know that cauliflower ear is a part of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and grappling. Many wear it as a “badge of honor” while others see it as gross.

In this video I share my ideas on it and how I feel about mine.

If you train in BJJ or grappling this isn’t to sway you one way or the other. It’s just an idea to chew on.

Black Belts give New Blue Belt a Friendly Shark-Tank in Costa Rica

/in , , /by

Join me in Costa Rica for my next BJJ retreat: https://herobjj.com/retreats/chewy/

Today’s video is a vlog from my most recent trip to Hero Academy in Costa Rica back in January of 2022. One of the fun highlights of the Costa Trip is a rolling session up on top of a spot that overlooks the oceans called Eagles Nest.

During this year’s sunset rolling session I decided to promote one of my White Belt students to Blue Belt.

You’ll see some rolling and fun from the trip. As well as a Black Belt shark tank on the new Blue Belt. Hope you enjoy the video.

How I Help my BJJ Students Learn Techniques Faster

/in , , /by

In today’s video I answer a question about the traditional BJJ class of warm ups, getting a few reps in and then rolling and the efficiency of this style of training.

In the video I share why I think the old way of doing BJJ classes where you warm up, do a few reps then just roll isn’t efficient training.

And in today’s video instead of just talking about it I show some of my class to get you an idea of the training. In this particular class we were focused on Butterfly Guard sweeps and connecting them with some escapes to make a constant repeating drill. This was followed up with situational rolling and then eventually full rolling.

Hope the idea is helpful to you.

Easy Mount Transition from Side Control by Attacking the Armlock 1st

/in , , /by

In today’s video I share an idea on transitioning to mount from side control as you’re attacking with a Kimura. This was one of my favorite transitions as a BJJ White Belt and I’ve continued to use it well into my Black Belt phase of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

If you’ve watched the videos on the channel, then you know I’m a kimura person through and through.

Now, even if you don’t like this particular transition, no worries. You can use the ideas I talk about in the video and tailor them to your game. The big idea here is to focus on having the next technique or move in your game ready to go.

Hope the video helps you and your BJJ training.

3 Tips for a Burnt-Out Black Belt BJJ Coach to Regain Motivation

/in , , /by

In today’s video I answer a question from a BJJ Black Belt coach who feels like he’s burnt out with teaching.

His question is how I stay motivated even after I’ve been doing it as long as I have. So in today’s video I share my mindset and how I stay motivated to teach BJJ, run a gym and some ideas for any BJJ coach who might be in the same boat.

Hopefully this is helpful to you if you’re in a similar situation.

How Martial Arts Helps You Build Confidence with ACTION, not thinking

/in , , , , /by

Martial arts are excellent for building confidence. Obviously most of my followers are Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners. But I know I have others that aren’t. But either way, most martial arts involve certain things that builds confidence in a person.

In this video I answer a question from a guy who’s trained Krav Maga for a number of years and is now shifting into BJJ training.

His question to me is about my ideas on competing and how I say you need confidence, but at the same time you cannot set expectations.

So in the video I’ll explain these ideas, which might seem opposed (but they aren’t) and give you some ideas on confidence and why martial arts are so effective at building it in a person.

Hope you enjoyed the video.

If You Use Kimuras from Side Control, You Gotta Try This Choke

/in , , , /by

Join me in Costa Rica: https://herobjj.com/retreats/chewy/

Today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu submission technique video was filmed while I was down in Costa Rica. You’ll hear the faint hum of the fan in the background as it stays at a toasty temperature there year round.

In the video I show a punch choke from a side control position that connects directly together with the Kimura and Armlock sequences I was showing during the BJJ camp.

Anytime I have an arm attack I always like to find a way to connect it with a choke as well since the way you defend the two is usually very different. Enjoy the BJJ technique. I hope it helps.

Training BJJ This Way Helps Me Avoid Injuries & Win More Competitions

/in , , , /by

In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner who’s been called “Too Soft” by his coach. Now, Jacob, says that even though his coach says this he’s still won numerous tournaments and does well in the BJJ gym during training.

And so he was curious about my thoughts on the idea.

Now in the video I explain the style of rolling Jacob uses. And I also share why I think it’s a great idea! In fact, it’s very similar to my style of rolling at this point in my life which is I don’t like to get into gym wars every single day.

But I also share an idea bout what it would be like if Jacob was too soft during rolling.

Hopefully the video is useful to you if you’re experiencing something similar.

Is a Brown Belt in Judo a Sandbagging BJJ White Belt ?

/in , /by

Today’s video comes from a 6 month BJJ White Belt who’s also a Judo Brown Belt. He’s loving his beginning in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and has plenty to work on with the ground game.

He recently had an experience where he was called a sandbagger by someone at another gym during an open mat. I’ll get into details about it in the video.

But his main question is about whether or not he should divulge details about his previous Judo experience to people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu when he travels to other schools. He’s been reluctant to do this because he doesn’t want to come across as cocky or that he’s some Judo phenom.

In the video I’ll share 2 examples of students I’ve had who were White Belts in BJJ but had extensive background in Wrestling and Judo and how things went.

Thanks for watching the video.
