Developing Resistance & Resilience In BJJ!

September 19, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

As you will have found out very early on in BJJ. Perhaps your first class. BJJ is a tough sport. And potentially one of the biggest benefits of this sport is that it forces your body to build significant resistance and resilience to intense pressure. Experienced practitioners can feel the difference in the bodies of new students. An experienced Jiu-Jitsu student is like rolling with a rock! And as Jocko Willink says ” If you want to improve your mental toughness? try this: Be Tougher…listen to this podcast as I talk about this very interesting subject…

Building A Strategy For BJJ!

September 18, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6TZwdAy_u0

Do you just turn up to class, participate and then leave? or do you know EXACTLY what you want to achieve before and after class? Do you know where you want to be by the end of the month, year, the decade? To answer these questions, you need to have a strategy. Now, this may change over time but the very fact that you have a strategy will enhance your practice, tune your responses and ensure you get the most out of each and every session. Don’t just turn up. Turn up with a purpose. Turn up with a strategy. Listen to this video as I discuss this very important topic…

BJJ Etiquette

September 17, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

You Enter a New Academy. First time through the doors and you can feel all the eyes on you? is it your imagination or are people sizing you up? watching every move you make. Guess what guys – first impressions count. The really, really count. And there are some codes of behaviour that are going to place you on the right path at your new academy. And others that will send you down the other direction. Here are some basics, I think EVERY new student should know and follow. Do these and you will be welcomed with open arms at your new BJJ academy. I hope you like the video guys, let me know your thoughts.

The Best Way For Competition Preparation!

September 16, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I am asked a lot about competition preparation. Now if I know your game, perhaps if you are a student of the gym…then it’s easy to guide you. I will know what works best for you, what are your best techniques etc…but there is also generic advice that works irrespective of your personal game. One of those, for example, would be your takedown game. Incredibly essential for Jiu-Jitsu competitions. Watch this video, as I discuss this topic in some depth. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts…

Great concept to make it past the open Guard in BJJ

September 16, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The open Guard can be a frustrating position for the passer if you do not know how to deal with it properly. I am a big fan of standing passes. With my body frame it is easier for me to keep distance from my opponents legs. If you are littler it is a way to out speed your opponent. Compare to a low pass the requires the pressure, balance, and strength.

Be sure the entire time you are standing to really focus on breaking the grips. getting dominant grips is how you win in jiujitsu . Every position I get in I really have to zone in on getting the dominant grips of the position.

The main focus for this video is to Find your distance and timing the way your opponent moves their hips and legs. I like moving side to side because I can see the way they are reacting to the movements. Than I will just pick a pass and if it doesn’t work I will bail out and restart .

[IMPORTANT] How Hard Should You Roll With Different Belts/Experience?

September 15, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is a very serious question and if you get it wrong. It will almost certainly impact your Jiu Jitsu game. Within a short amount of time and with consistent training you are going to be considerably better on the Mat than a brand new student. And sometimes, this may have you thinking that when you training with a new student, you ‘Take it Easy’. Perhaps you let them take position and you roll a little bit (or a lot) lower than your normal competence. This is a big mistake. Your body is learning all the time and you are just training your body and mind poorly for Jiu Jitsu. The aim is, therefore, to have the right pressure – to be good to your training partner. But deliberately, so you don’t miss the learning opportunity yourself. In this video, I discuss this issue in more detail.

BJJ Gis are Stupid and We Should Stop Wearing Them

September 14, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I find it interesting how divisive people are about every little subject. Instead of live and let live, and being open to the possibility that they might not be right about everything. People want to draw a line in the sand and bark across the people on the other side.

I was reading the comments this morning and noticed all of the BJJ Gi Hate. People saying how unrealistic it is, and how it’s stupid and an old tradition.

And I understand what they are talking about. When people say realistic I think they mean MMA. And in that case, I suppose the Gi is not directly realistic to an MMA fight.

However, I think for a basic fighting situation. Understanding how to manipulate clothing is realistic and useful.

The one thing I would add to this is that a lot of what we do in BJJ isn’t all that realistic or useful for a fight.

We do it though, because it’s fun.

And so, stop drawing the line in the sand about which one is better. Gi Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or No Gi Grappling.

It’s all good. It’s all grappling. You should practice both.

Should I Quit Gi BJJ and Do 10th Planet ? (Frustrated with Grips)

September 13, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Do you ever get frustrated with the Gi in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu ? I’m sure you probably do, and if you don’t, give it time.

For me with my wrestling background and my incessant desire to move around. Have you ever noticed how much I rock around in the videos?

I hate the Gi when I first started BJJ. And I’ve had a love hate relationship with the kimono.

In this video, one of our friend’s has a specific question about dealing with a Grip from Back Mount during rolling in his gym. And I will talk about this at a later time. In his message he words it as, “should I give up the gi and just do 10th planet?” Meaning, should I just do No Gi BJJ training.

But in the meantime I wanted to share some thoughts on how to approach BJJ training and the various frustrations that come with it. Because if it isn’t the gi, it will be something else.

In this video I share a couple of stories of how I got frustrated with the gi. 1 story in particular was kind of funny because I ended up destroying a beautiful BJJ gi in the process.

If you’re experiencing some trouble with the gi in BJJ. I hope this video is helpful to you and your BJJ training.

Thanks!
