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

/in , , , , /by

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

/in , , , /by

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.

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.

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.

Stop Trying to Perfectly Balance BJJ & Life (I’ll Explain Why)

/in , , , , /by

In today’s video I answer a question from a new BJJ White Belt who’s struggling to find the balance with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and all of the other activities he does.

He says that he’s already a physically active person who does lots of other activities. And this combined with BJJ is leading to a lot of soreness, fatigue and some injuries.

In the video I’ll share some ideas on abandoning the idea of balance for periods of time in your life. I’ll share how I’ve done it in the past with various physical activities and projects.

7 BJJ Half Guard Sweep Drills & Techniques

/in , , , , /by

Today’s video is a Half Guard sweeps drilling video. This is some of the things I’m working on with my classes and I figured I’d share them with you as well.

In the video you’ll see 7 different Half Guard sweeps or techniques used. And the way we do it is after the sweep or technique is used the other person will regain their half guard and then the sequence restarts. This keeps the action moving and keeps it more engaging for both people.

If you’re a Half Guard player or trying to get better at the position, I hope the sweeping drills help.

Triangle Choke for MMA or Fight Situation from Full Guard

/in , , /by

Today’s BJJ technique is focused on MMA and fighting although it’s perfectly useable in a regular grappling situation. In the video I’ll show a sequence from Full Guard that we could use to setup triangle chokes or submissions in MMA or a situation where strikes can be thrown.

The key is first establishing control of the distance. And in the case of this setup we’re making sure there is no distance for the person to create power for their strikes.

Next we make our angle and start to setup the triangle choke.

You’ll see variations of this all the time in grappling. But a great example came from Chael Sonnen vs Forrest Griffin in an older IFC fight.

Thanks for watching the video and hope the technique helps.
