This video is in response to a video where I was talking about how to use instructional videos for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I ended up receiving a comment on that video asking about BJJ concepts vs techniques.

I make 2 main points in the video.

1 regardless of whether it’s BJJ techniques, BJJ concepts, or whatever. If you don’t use it, it’s not going to work for you. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu isn’t just about knowing things in your head conceptually. It’s more about having all of that drilled into your nervous system so that the moves are ready in situations where you can’t think and have to react. Muscle memory.

The 2nd point is that as you progress and your Brazilian Jiujitsu “IQ” goes up and as you gain experience with grappling, the concepts make more and more sense.

In the video I discuss examples of these ideas and my preference on teaching. Keep in mind that my thoughts are not right or wrong, they’re just my experience as a coach and practitioner.

In the video I give a sort of working definition to a concept or principle and then techniques.

Thanks for watching! -Chewy —————–
