If you know me or have watched me roll. Then you know I LOVE Butterfly Guard. It’s one of my best positions.

Now I love Butterfly Guard for a lot of reasons.

I love that it’s great even if you can’t use a Full Guard super well. It’s great for sweeping. And it’s also a great place to transition to other forms of Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In this video I show how to use Butterfly Guard to transition into an X Guard or Single X Guard / Ashi Garami position.

In the video I touch on the basic idea that when we want to lift someone from a bottom position in Brazilian Jiujitsu. We need to get under their hips.

When you watch the technique shown in the video pay close attention to how I move under Chad.

Once in X Guard or Single X you can attack leg locks, sweeps or other submissions.

Give it a try!

This is a vlog from my recent BJJ training vacation trip to Costa Rica.

Along with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu we did a lot of things on the vacation like surfing, zip lining, trying different restaurants and we also did a big sunset cruise on a boat.

I of course had to take a bit of time to do a little BJJ on a boat. I answered a question about a choke from Back Mount.

Along with this I show some clips from the trip and time we spent hanging out together at a block party in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.

And if you’re interested in joining us next year for our yearly Pura Vida retreat.
Check out: https://www.facebook.com/traincation/

I hope you enjoy watching the video.

Every January we take a week long Bjj retreat to Costa Rica. You can check:

https://www.facebook.com/traincation/

And it’s always a blast. Along with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training we surf, enjoy the beach and try to take in as much of Costa Rica as possible.

This year we were in Tamarindo and had an absolute blast.
We trained at Hero Academy: https://bjjincostarica.com/

This Vlog is a short grouping of clips from our first day in Tamarindo.

You’ll see a mixture of us hanging out in the city, by the pool , grabbing some smoothies and you’ll of course see some Bjj training.

During the Bjj training section you’ll get to see my coach Shawn Hammonds show a slick foot sweep.

Afterwards you’ll see me rolling with my friends.

It was a great trip and I hope you enjoy the video that came from it.

We’ll have another vlog this week when we did more Brazilian Jiujitsu and some fun on a boat cruise.

Recently our friend went to another BJJ gym for training recently and he’s been bummed ever since.

During the training session at this other gym he felt like he didn’t know anything. And he knows that he will be up for promotion soon at his gym. But he says he doesn’t want it now.

Basically he says he is a BJJ White Belt who feels like he isn’t worthy of the Blue Belt.

In this video I share my thoughts on his struggle with his upcoming belt promotion and how he feels with his BJJ training in general.

The big idea I try to share in this one is that it’s a mistake to judge your whole experience and enjoyment in BJJ solely off having a tough set of rolls at another gym.

The patterns and styles are different.

I was talking to my guys about this recently. Where I explained that most of my Purple Belts give me more trouble than the Black Belts I compete against. Which isn’t about technical ability per say.

If you’re having a similar situation regarding feeling worthy or ready for a Blue Belt promotion. Then I hope this video is helpful.

This was a hard fought win for our friend Bryan this no gi BJJ match.

I decided to break this match down because of how it went back and forth. Bryan did a lot of great things. But there were some small details that I think anyone could learn from.

In this match I’ll bring special attention to hand positioning during guard passing as well as hip position.

During the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu match you’ll see Bryan and his opponent both attacking with Bryan winning at the end.

I hope you enjoy the breakdown.

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.

Along with all the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training we did at my gym Derby City MMA.

We also got together for some weight lifting.

Since we both had finished a Brazilian Jiujitsu session. We didn’t go very heavy.

Instead we were doing some technique work on Olympic Weight Lifting. Namely the Snatch.

And afterwards we did a bunch of ab exercises. This part wasn’t really planned.

You really get a sense of what kind of freak athlete Mahamed is when you see a 230lbs man moving around on the rings and bars.

It was impressive.

During the Olympic lifting portion we were guided by my buddy Joe who is the head coach for our Strength and Conditioning program along with his coach Joe who is big into olympic lifting.

Joe also works for Uesaka barbell.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this Vlog with Mahamed and I just messing around.

Talk to you guys next time!

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.

In this video I take you guys along with me while I meet and train with Mahamed.

It starts off with me picking him up from the airport and finishes up with him rolling with me and the students at my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville, KY.

During our roll all I can say is. . . man. . . he’s fast! Especially considering he’s like 230lbs.

The Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques and ideas he shared were great. And if you ever get a chance to train with Mahamed you should definitely do so.

You’ll also see me teaching a bit as well as just some clips added in during the day.

This is a little different than the normal style Brazilian Jiujitsu videos I put out. But I hope you enjoy it.

Talk to you next time!

Recently I had 2018 IBJJF World Champ Mahamed Aly out to our gym to train and do some videos.

In this video Mahamed shows a series of slick submission options when you’re having trouble finishing the Armbar from top position.

These submission options not only give you the ability to finish the roll or match. But they also allow you to have greater control and make your opponent super uncomfortable.

The slicer he put me in was awful! And the collar choke he used was no nicer! both of the submissions were brutal!

I like this video because it’s several simple BJJ techniques from a common position.

I think everyone who has done Brazilian Jiujitsu at some point has struggled to finish an Armbar.

And make sure to stick around for the end as Mahamed and I share a few thoughts about training and developing a deeper more complex Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game.

Hope you enjoy the video!
