Grace Gundrum is one of the fastest rising stars in grappling and for good reason: she’s a stone cold technician. This is one of the coolest transitions you’re ever gonna see and she hit it in a money tournament, Finishers 10. Finishers is an EBI rules tournament.

I started calling this move the Ginger Snap (I’m sure there are other names for it, call it whatever you want) after one of my Blue Belts (Chad Allen, at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Decatur, Alabama) kept hitting it in competition. I don’t know what Grace calls it, but it’s one of the weirdest moves in all of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s even weird for us 10th Planet folk, and that’s saying something. It basically works like a lockdown on the arms.

Anyway, I’ve included some footage of Chad hitting it in competition several times.

I hope you guys dig these bmac breakdowns. I like doing them and it’s also cool to put some shine on some of our coolest competitor on the no gi BJJ scene, especially the Sub Only scene.

Taco Tuesday!

To open the show, I tried to give some money away to some competitors that have been posting their stuff on Instagram, but alas… it was slim pickins. Settled in on a great one. 10th Planet Brown Belt @frankimura10p but he didn’t answer! Maybe next time Francis, ole boy!

In Jiu Jitsu class, we worked on escaping the back position and I’m sharing some of those golden details with you here. I think it will help you guys tremendously. Please let me know in the comments!

My man Bruce Stephens got his Blue Belt! Big ups to Bruce. he’s a G.

I also included one round of my rolling since we have had so many people requesting to see more footage of me rolling with my students and visitors. That’s easy footage to produce because I roll every day. (For those of you looking for even more bmac rolling footage, I roll with my beginners class at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Decatur live here on YouTube every Tuesday and Thursday night.) This round is against a visiting Purple Belt and includes a couple of really nasty Rubber Guard sequences. Pay attention to how I play these and there is a LOT to learn there.

If you wanna see some in depth Rubber Guard instruction, I’ve got a set with BJJ Fanatics that you can pick up here: https://bjjfanatics.com/products/rubber-guard-the-meathook-by-brandon-mccaghren

And my website is packed with Rubber Guard, too! Check it out here: https://bmac.mykajabi.com/offers/TdidGutz/checkout

Many people believe that the mount is dead for no gi. I couldn’t possibly disagree more! In my opinion, this is the strongest position in no gi. But because many practitioners are so accustomed to the attacks that are reliant on the gi, they fall apart when the get to no gi.

Or, best case scenario they still have a solid arm triangle, but very little else.

Fear no more! Here are 3 no gi siubmissions from Mount, none of which are the Arm Triangle (kata gatame or side choke).

1. Guillotine
2. Punch Choke or Ezekiel Choke
3. Mounted Triangle Choke

CJJ Worlds is approaching quickly, and on November 23 we will crown a new Middleweight Champion!

As we prepare for the big event on UFC Fight Pass, let’s take a look at one of the favorites to push through his side of the bracket, Dan Martinez.

In this video, Brandon Mccaghren breaks down and analyzes his beautiful Heel Hook entry finish against Sergio Rios at EBI 17. This was an opening round bout in a 16 man Combat Jiu Jitsu bracket.

Martinez is a Black Belt from the Tampa, Florida area and he went all the way to the Semi Finals at EBI 17. We expect another big performance from him on November 23 in Monterrey, Mexico exclusively on UFC Fight Pass!

In this week’s episode, we get a look into the real bmac and discover that he is a lifelong spazz. Everyone talks about Brandon’s ADD and how he can never pay attention for more than 5 minutes. Which leads us to Kitchen Moves. It’s hard to explain. You just need to see
brandon mc in all his Karate Action glory to really understand.

The real meat of episode 15, though, is brandon giving his commentary over the top of a few rounds of rolling with his students.

We hope you guys enjoy. Thought this was one of the funniest episodes of not the bmac show to date!

In this week’s episode of “not the bmac show,” we got inspired by the Ellen Degeneres show. My wife, Lindsey, is obsessed with Ellen. On this show, they play a game called Taste Buds.

I was trying to think of something fun we could do with the students here at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Decatur; just something silly and funny that could boost the atmosphere at our academy even further. We have the best Jiu Jitsu school in the world, and I love giving all of you guys a look inside our family.

So basically the way this works is I say, “Who wants to play a game to win free tuition?” We took a couple of the volunteers and basically made them eat a bunch of gross food and try to guess what it is. It was a lot of fun. I hope yall get a laugh out of this!

How Jiu Jitsu Saved My Life w/ Brandon Mccaghren, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under Eddie Bravo

If you are on the fence about starting BJJ, I hope you take a moment to watch this video. It’s hard for me to put into words exactly how huge of an impact Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has made on my life. Not only did I make tremendous physical changes, but it was a great boost to me socially, psychologically and emotionally.

I’ve been able to find a tribe of people who are all in pursuit of excellence, and for those who want to begin that journey we provide a great culture and atmosphere to flex your discipline muscle and start adding real, practical skill to your life.

Don’t just take my word for it, though: thousands of people have used Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to lose weight, get in shape, learn self-defense and generally change the direction of their lives for the better. Here’s a few outside links for those of you one the edge:

“The 3 days here is the most valuable thing I’ve ever done in my life. And that’s the honest truth.”

Baptism By Fire: Warrior Week – not the bmac show – Episode 13 – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Decatur

It’s hard for me to describe Warrior Week (technically, I believe it’s called Warrior Evolution. But I always say Warrior Week).
Truthfully, I’m of 2 minds when it comes down to it. Part of me loves it. It’s always good bonding with my guys and lots of fun and it’s an interesting look into how far a really dedicated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player has separated himself from the standard human being, at least when it comes to physical altercation and dealing with stress.

But, it’s also kinda hard for me. Because the objective is to break these guys emotionally. That’s what they signed up for. That’s what I’ve been contracted to do. Everyone knows that coming in.
And breaking someone is hard. Because truthfully, you just don’t know how they are gonna respond to that. And it’s not necessarily fun to push someone past their limit. All of us have stuff going on inside that no one else knows or understands. And when pressed, that can get ugly if we aren’t emotionally prepared to deal with it. Luckily, the staff at Warrior Week is ultra good at what they do and they’re supporting these guys the rest of the week with really powerful counseling and support. The objective is to leave bigger and better than when you showed up. Break down to build up kind of thing.

And it works. These guys consistently tell us that it’s a life changing experience. And so we keep agreeing to do it. And it keeps producing results.

I hope yall enjoy this look inside Warrior Evolution. I’m interested to hear the responses lol. It happens here at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Decatur, Alabama. We get contracted to do it a couple of times each year.

Should Police Officers Train in Jiu Jitsu? – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Huntsville Police Training

In this video, I want to introduce you to my friend and 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu student Jerry King. Jerry has been with the Huntsville Police Department in Huntsville, Alabama for many, many years and is a Lieutenant on the force there.

There is a ton of controversy surrounding Law Enforcement and Police Officers these days; much of it for good reason. But I thought it would be a great idea to highlight some of the real good guys out there serving the community and actively working to improve themselves and to get better at making sure they go home at the end of the night.

Not only is BJJ proven to be the most effective martial art on the planet, but it’s also perfect for a Police Officer who needs to subdue a person and control a situation without injuring or even striking the person.

With their training at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Huntsville, these LEO are setting an example of excellence and commitment to mastery of their craft that all officers would do well to emulate!

Personally, I’m incredibly thankful for these fine men who put themselves on the line every day for me and my family.
