New Series Coming: Basic Techniques I Use As A Black Belt

April 22, 2022/in BJJ, Tips, Training, Videos /by Jack C

Just wanted to let you guys know I’ll be doing a new series on the channel showing some of my most basic techniques that I actually use in competition and high level rolling successfully.

The upcoming videos will be longer as I’m going to go deep into the details that make them work. But I think the techniques could be really useful as most of them are options you’ve probably been doing since you were a white belt.

Anyways, be on the lookout for the new series and I’ll see you in the upcoming videos.

Take Your BJJ Stack Pass to the Next Level with These Details (Gi & No Gi)

April 22, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Tips, Training /by Jack C

If you’re like most BJJ practitioners, you learned some form of a stack pass very early on as a White Belt. And for good reason. It’s a strong guard pass that puts a lot of pressure on your opponent.

But like many of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques we learn early on many people exchange the stack pass for something else because they feel the need for more advanced techniques.

Well, in today’s video I’m going to show you how I use the stack pass in an “advanced” Black Belt way. This video is chock full of ideas and details that could be used for multiple positions. So, if you’re attention span has been ruined by social media this may not be the video for oyu. But assuming you’re up for learning how to take your double under or stack pass to the next level, then check the video out.

Enjoy the video. I hope it’s helpful.

Medal-Winning White Belt Obsessed with Belt Promotions in BJJ

April 18, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Tips, Training /by Jack C

In today’s video I answer a question from a young BJJ White Belt who’s been winning a bunch of competitions and is obsessed with the goal of getting his BJJ White Belt in 1 year. Currently he’s been training about 10 months.

Now he wants to know ideas t impress his coach which I’m not going to do since I guarantee his coach is probably impressed by his performance in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Instead I try to share some ideas on finding meaning in between the goals he’s chasing.

I do this because I had the same tireless drive towards goals when I was younger and trying to impress my coaches and teammates. And while it can produce good results it can also produce a ton of frustration because you never stop to realize what you’ve accomplished because you’re always after the next goal.

I explain the idea in more depth in the video. Hopefully the video is useful to you.

Make Your Collar Chokes in BJJ More Effective (Focus on This 1st)

April 15, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Submissions, Tips /by Jack C

In today’s BJJ technique video I’m going to show you 3 different chokes you can use from back mount with the same collar grip. I’m also going to show you what, in my bearded opinion, is the most important part of getting the choke. . . the setup.

These chokes from back mount are super simple. But I’ve used each one of them at every level of BJJ and even competitions. So they’re legit. Remember, the effectiveness of a technique depends on your skill as a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner, not the complexity of the movement.

A lot of people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu get excited about the finish but don’t pay much attention to the setup which is a mistake. The setup and the initial grips on the collar are the most important part of a good collar choke.

Get a good grip and your choke is much easier. Get sloppy with your grip and it’s going to be tough!

This is something to focus on when you are practicing or drilling in your gym.

Hope the video helps give you some ideas for your next BJJ training session.

How To Make Your Armbars Safer & More Effective as a White Belt

April 12, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Submissions, Tips /by Jack C

Today’s video will show you some simple techniques to make your armbars safer and more effective as a BJJ White Belt.

The video comes from a question I got from a White Belt who’s afraid of falling off too fast with armbars from top position becuase he doesn’t want to injure his training partners or lose the submission.

So in this video I’ll show you how to use the arm you’re not attacking (when using an armbar from top) to anchor yourself to their body and slow the armbar down. This will also help weaken many of the common grips used to defend armbars.

If you’re struggling with armbars then I hope the video helps!

How I Help my BJJ Students Learn Techniques Faster

March 17, 2022/in BJJ, Tips, Training /by Jack C

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.
