The Worst BJJ Advice to give to Strong People

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

Don’t Use Your Strength! This is something all of us big strong people hear in BJJ from day 1. And in my bearded opinion it’s some of the WORST advice in BJJ, as I’ll explain in the video.

Now, I’m sure if you train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and are a bit smaller, and have had the pleasure of rolling with a 200lbs+ spazzy person, you may be resistant to this idea. But stick with me in the video and I’ll explain why this advice in BJJ leads to poor performances and more injuries.

After watching the video you’re welcome to leave your comments below.

Purple Belt is Training Harder Than Ever but Not Improving

/in , , , , /by

Today’s question is about not improving in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu even when you’re training harder than ever. This is the basic situation going on for John who’s hit a plateau in his BJJ progress. Now he says he’s training even harder than he used to in order to break out of the plateau, but he’s still stuck.

So, in the video I’ll share why I ditch rolling harder or training harder when I’m trying to break out of a BJJ plateau. Now, keep in mind I’m still training hard. I love training hard. But sometimes going even harder isn’t the best route. Keep in mind that the process I talk about in this video is mine. It might work for you, it might not. I also give some examples of what this process looks like in training during situational rolling or full rolling.

I also share a book that I enjoyed in the video. If you’d like to check it out, look at the link below. https://amzn.to/3Mqsa3h

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video. Talk with you next time.

No Gi Rolling with Students: Defending Ankle Locks & Darce Chokes

/in , /by

Today’s video is a bit different than the others in the past. It’s a recording a big rolling session we did during one of my Monday BJJ classes.

During the session you’ll see me roll with multiple students at varying levels. You’ll also see some of my students rolling against one another as well. On the mats that day we had everything from White Belts to Black Belts mixing it up.

Many of you had asked for rolling videos on the channel. Which I’m not opposed to. But it’s a delicate situation in my bearded opinion since we deal with a lot of mental and physical stuff on the mats.

Either way, hope you enjoy the rolls.

Take More Backs in BJJ with 2 Effective Techniques If They Turtle Up

/in , , , , , /by

In today’s basic White Belt BJJ techniques, I use as a Black Belt I’m going to show you 2 of my best back takes that work off a guard passing situation. Taking the back off of a guard pass when the person turtles up is one of my most successful ways to secure back mount in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

The back takes are simple and can be used as shown or combined together with other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques. I’ve hit both of these techniques at grappling competitions like the No Gi Pans, Pans , ADCC trials and others.

Is This a Sign of a Money-Hungry BJJ Coach?

/in , , /by

In today’s video I reply to a comment from one of my recent videos where a viewer said that “BJJ coaches hold back students to maximize profits.” I’m paraphrasing a bit there, but the idea is accurate.

So, I share my thoughts on this idea as to whether or not BJJ coaches, or martial arts gyms in general, hold their students back to maximize profits or if there is something else going on.

After watching the video you’re welcome to contribute to the comments with your own thoughts and ideas about the subject in BJJ and martial arts gyms.

Thanks for watching.

Guillotine to Triangle Choke Combo from Full Guard

/in , , , , /by

Today’s BJJ technique idea is a simple Kimura / Kimura Sweep to Guillotine to Triangle Choke from a full guard position.

I like to use the kimura or bump sweep in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to setup techniques because it’s a powerful tool to knock people off balance for a moment. And while they’re off balance you have essentially put yourself a step ahead of them. This makes it easier to setup the submissions you’re after.

So, if you like closed guard, guillotine chokes and triangle chokes then I hope this technique serves you well on the mats.

Thanks for watching.

Should You Wear a Cup for BJJ Training ? (Here’s Why I Don’t)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Today’s question is a simple one. Should you wear a cup for BJJ practice? So, in this video I’ll give my quick thoughts on wearing a cup for BJJ training and rolling. I also share a slightly silly, slightly gross story about an MMA fight where I shared a cup with one of my fellow teammates.

In the video I mention a cup I personally used. The link for that is below.

Here’s a link to the diamond MMA cup I mentioned earlier in the video: https://amzn.to/3KECXFb

If you’re getting into BJJ and are planning on wearing a cup I think that’s fine. Just keep the things I talked about in the video in mind.

Thanks for watching the video.

Out of Shape White Belt Wants to Improve Cardio for BJJ Rolling

/in , , , /by

Today’s Q&A video is from a brand-new White Belt who gasses out too fast during BJJ training and wants to improve his cardio. Now his request is for options other than just the obvious, roll more solution.

So in this video I share 2 ideas that will help improve your cardio or “gas tank” for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I’ve kept the tips as simple as possible. Doesn’t mean they’re easy, but if you act on the 2 suggestions I give in the video I guarantee you’ll be able to roll longer and have more energy for BJJ training.

I say this from my experience and also the experience of many of my students.

If you’re struggling to roll in your gym and want to give your BJJ stamina a boost then I hope the video helps.

I Hate It When MMA Fighters Call BJJ. . . Jitz. . .

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Today’s video is a short one about a word that people call Jiu-jitsu that makes me cringe.

The other day on social media I posted about how I hate it when people call Jiu-jitsu “jits” or “jitz” and I got several questions as to why that is. Well in the video I’ll explain why.

And I’m curious as to whether or not you dislike the word like I do or if you use it yourself. This isn’t a wrong or right thing. Just is. But I’m curious. So, watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.
