In this IGTV (Instagram TV) episode we talk about Why no takeedows? I love takedowns but they run a pretty high risk for injury. This is especially true if you are doing full om resistant, competitive takedowns. You have to be VERY careful anytime you are tackling the knees. This is extra important if you are a 40+ grappler. I don’t know about you… But I can’t afford to have a serious injury. I never strated this to have multiple surgeries… I doubt you did either. I’m not saying you shoudn’t practice takedowns… Well anyways Watch this episode and please comment below…. Happy Training and be sure to find us on our IGTV channel on Instagram at @BJJAfter40

Being a BJJ Blue Belt who can submit Purples , Browns and higher belts in the gym and competitions is a great thing right?

Yes, but it does come with some potential issues.

Recently I got a message from a young Blue Belt who is struggling when he visits other BJJ gyms while traveling.

This is because when he goes to these Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms he’s able to submit or outmaneuver many of the higher belts on the mat. Especially when in No Gi.

Again, this should be a good thing. But he finds that many of the people inside these gyms take offense to it.

They will get angry at him for beating them.

This isn’t right, and people shouldn’t take it so harshly. But it is what it is.

When dealing with people’s egos and the pecking order of their BJJ gym. People have a tendency to get up in arms and upset at times.

I’m better about this now. But I was guilty of this kind of stuff at one time in my life. So we can choose to point the finger if we want. But I don’t find that very helpful.

Instead, in this video, instead of condemning the people that our friend is rolling with. I try to give him some practical advice about feeling out the people he’s rolling with, before he kicks up the intensity.

I share this by touching on two separate situations. 1 was with my poor mindset as a young BJJ Blue Belt.

The second was how I approach going to gyms when I visit now.

Hopefully if you ever get into a situation like this in your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training this video will be helpful to you.

Thanks for watching!

One of the questions I have had several times lately in comments and messages is about the idea of using a heel hook in a street fight – what is my opinion to the validity of moves like this, typically reserved for more competition or sportive environments. So here is my opinion!

Your first day in BJJ can be overwhelming. One minute you walk into a new academy and then in no time you have some huge guy submitting you on the mat. Often, the first few months in Jiu-Jitsu are about survival. But don’t panic. Stick it out and you will join the ranks of those that absolutely love their time on the mat. In this video, I discuss a bit of a survival guide. Getting through your first day, so that you will be happy to join a second. Enjoy guys.

O que penso a respeito dos campeonatos pagos e minha dica aos atletas que querem Viver de Jiu Jitsu

“Jiu Jitsu awards.”
What I think about the paid championships and my tip to the athletes who want to Live Jiu Jitsu

How do I balance training people for Self-Defense and for Sport Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?

This is the question that I received one of my students who is a newer White Belt.

He’s been training in our BJJ classes at our gym in Louisville, KY. And he’s wondering about the way we approach balancing the training.

In this video I talk about how Brazilian Jiujitsu, Wrestling, Judo and the other combat sports teach people how to fight without always explicitly doing so.

I share a story from my own experience from high school Wrestling where I learned a way of fighting without really knowing.

The main idea that I try to share in this is that Sport Jiu-jitsu and and Self-Defense aren’t so vastly different. The strategic element will remain very similar but the tactical way that we approach it will change.

The tactical change will come about as a means to deal with the strikes, bites, etc that can happen in a fight on the street.

If you have a strong opinion on this subject, I’d love to hear your feedback!

Comment down below and tell me what you think. If you negative criticism. Please be constructive so we can open up conversation.

Thanks for watching!

Recently I had a student who had his very 1st day of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. But this White Belt’s 1st class almost never happened.

I ended up catching him walking out of the gym doors about to head home. He had his BJJ gi on with his gym bag in hand.

I stopped him and told him to hell with fear, fuck fear.

He had his gi on, he has been wanting to start training and he knows me. So I said, let’s do it!

He came back in the gym and had his very 1st day of BJJ and it went great. And this new BJJ White Belt has trained several times since then. And I sincerely hope he continues to push through.

And I decided to share this story because I receive messages from many of you who are interested in training. But for 1 reason or another. You choose not to.

Many of the reasons you bring up are not legitimate reasons, but rather are reasons cooked up by irrational fears.

When I speak to someone who waited to start Brazilian Jiujitsu. Oftentimes the only regret they have is that they waited as long as they did. It was never regret out of starting.

So if you haven’t started yet but you want to, I hope you find this video useful.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is often like a form of meditation for many of us. After a hard training session we often feel a stillness in our mind.

BJJ does this like very few things can.

I bring this up because our friend Josh used BJJ to deal with a lot of the issues that exist outside the gym. But right now, he’s injured and is not able to train Brazilian Jiujitsu.

And the problem with this is, he’s dealing with his father who is dying of cancer and his girlfriend just left him as well.

He wants to get back into the gym as soon as possible and asked about the type of training he should be engaged in.

In this video, I talk 1st about how I was in a very similar situation as Josh, and how I dealt with it (which wasn’t a good way).

Instead of dealing with with my mother’s passing I chose to numb myself with excessive amounts of training. To the point where I would be in the gym at 3am lifting just to exhaust myself so I couldn’t think.

At the end after me trying to get Josh to think about easing his BJJ and Lifting training schedule I give a few tips on how train without aggravating the injury.

I hope the video helps!
