An Effective Butterfly Guard Sweep Against Tight Guard Passers

October 18, 2022/in BJJ, Guard Passes, Sweeps, Training /by Jack C

In today’s video I show 1 Butterfly Guard sweep that will address several common counters to a butterfly guard in BJJ. Namely, bodylock passes and posts with the hand or the foot.

If you’re someone that uses Butterfly Guard in Jiu-jitsu then this technique could be a great option for you. I know it’s 1 of my go to sweeps with the position because it eliminates several options for the top person can use for defense. Thanks for watching and hope the video helps!

Effective Over Under Guard Pass Setup VS Butterfly Guard in BJJ

October 17, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Tips, Training /by Jack C

Today’s video is a short clip with 1 of my BJJ White Belts after class. He had a question about 1 of the guard passing techniques we worked on in class. So I sat down with him and went over the position and technique with him.

The passing technique is very simple. It’s basically an entry into the over under pass vs a butterfly guard. I do this a lot to off balance the bottom person and setup several of my guard passing attacks.

If over under passes are your thing or you struggle passing a butterfly guard, then I hope this technique is useful to you.

Hope the video helps.

Why BJJ White Belts Need to be Smashed

October 13, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Training /by Jack C

Why do I smash my White Belt BJJ students? I got this question recently in response to 1 of my videos where I talked about smashing people from time to time. I read the question in the video and then answer it with my perspective as to why I smash my less experienced students and why it’s very helpful to them long term.

I compare the experience with my new experiences of horse riding which share a lot of similarities to my days as a BJJ White Belt.

Hope the video gives more perspective to the ideas.

Gordon Ryan’s Unshakeable Trait You Want for Your BJJ Game

October 10, 2022/in BJJ, Training /by Jack C

In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from a young guy who’s struggling with aggression and anger in Jiu-jitsu. He says that whenever people are aggressive with him or rough during rolling, he tends to get angry, and it makes him overly aggressive. He says that once he’s in this mode, it’s not a good thing. His technique gets sloppy and so he wants to stop it from negatively affecting his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

So he sends the message to me to ask if I or any of my students have ever had this problem. And if so, what can he do about it?

The answer is of course yes, it’s happened to me and plenty of my students. And if it’s something that’s happened to you then I hope this video gives you some useful ideas on how to stop the issue.

As always thanks for watching.

WTF is an Adult Green Belt in BJJ ?

October 6, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Competition, Inspiration, Training /by Jack C

In today’s video I answer a question from Josh who is an adult Green Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Now some of you may be a little confused since Green Belts in Jiu-jitsu are usually saved for teenagers and kids (which I’ll explain).

But with that, he’s getting ready for a BJJ competition, and he wants to know what to compete since there are no adult Green Belt divisions.

So in this video I share some ideas from my own experience as a former adult Green Belt back in 2004 when I was a newer student in BJJ.

I also tell a story about a stinky white belt. Not a person white belt. . . my actual belt.

Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Just Injured a Training Partner (Am I Responsible for Medical Bills?)

September 26, 2022/in BJJ, Recovery, Training /by Jack C

If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today’s BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic.

Injuries suck and it’s one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don’t train you’ll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless.

But either way, in today’s BJJ video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you’re responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation.

Hope the video helps.

This Happens to Every White Belt when Rolling with Coaches in BJJ

August 19, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Training /by Jack C

In today’s video I answer a question from a White Belt about a situation that I think happens with just about every BJJ White Belt when they roll with higher belts or coaches.

When you watch the video think back to whether or not you had this experience early on in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. And if you’re a newer practitioner then think about whether or not it still happens.

And if it does happen then I hope the idea with mindset helps you overcome the obstacle I talk about in the video.

How my Nerdy Gamer Past Affects my BJJ Training 20+ years later

August 15, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Training /by Jack C

One of my guilty pleasures is listening to game designers talk about how they create video games. As a kid I was a big gamer, building computers and all that stuff. Long before it was a cool thing to do. I also find it fascinating from a business perspective of how you create something that keeps people coming back for a long period of time.

And for this video I share some ideas about a video game designers’ creative habits and how they could be implemented in a similar fashion for our BJJ training.

Thanks for watching!
