Comparing Yourself to Others in BJJ? (How to Do it The Right Way)

January 6, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Comparison is the thief of joy, right? Well, possibly. Comparison can also be an incredibly helpful. It just depends on what you’re comparing. And in this video I get into this idea to answer a question from James who says he’s struggling with comparing his BJJ journey to other people’s. He says he knows he shouldn’t do it, but he does it anyway and it’s negatively affecting him.

So in the video I’ll share more about some of the better things to compare that could be useful to you in BJJ and in other area of your life. Hope the video is useful to you!

A BJJ Longevity Tip for Black Belt & Beyond (Most Hate Doing It)

December 26, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In today’s video I share a little secret for longevity in BJJ and a tip that is incredibly useful for making it to Black Belt and beyond. Now I know that language of “secrets” is a little hyperbolic, but I see so many people struggle with the idea I share in this video. I also, don’t see a lot of people talk about this. But it’s something that’s been helpful in my BJJ training and practice when forced to work around injuries or help my training partners do the same.

Now I’m sharing this because this situation just happened the other day with one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students and it happens regularly.

So watch the video and weather you’re injured now, have a training partner injured or simply keep the idea on the backburner. Hopefully the information in the video is useful to you.

Best Pre-Workout Foods for BJJ to Feel Energized & Not Sick

December 23, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I get a lot of questions from people (my students and online followers) about the best foods to eat before BJJ training. Many people ask this because they struggle to eat and then train without feeling sick. I literally just had this conversation with one of my students in the gym the other day.

So in this video I share some basic ideas on what’s worked for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. Warning! This is a video talking about diet which means everyone, and their mother is going to have something to say about it. Here’s my advice. Don’t fall victim to zealotry when it comes to dieting. Most often people push this stuff for their benefit, not yours.

And with that said my encouragement is to try things out for yourself. So I lay out the methodology of me pre-training nutrition along with some of my favorite pre-training foods.

Hopefully the video is useful to you.

Finishing Collar Chokes for White Belts (Don’t Make These 2 Mistakes)

December 21, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

There are 2 big mistakes I see people make when they’re trying to finish their collar chokes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s something I did as a White and Blue Belt . . . to be honest, it’s something I’ve done even into the higher belt ranks. But especially at the lower ranks it was a problem.

So, in this BJJ technique video I’ll show you the simple corrections to these 2 common collar choke mistakes. By simply fixing these 2 errors you could possibly take your collar chokes that aren’t working now and making them effective during rolling.

I know this has been the case for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Oh and in case you watch the video and don’t understand the terms casting and reeling, I’m referencing the actions you use with a fishing pole.

Hope the video helps you with your training.

He Refused His “Participation” Medal at a BJJ Competition

December 19, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s question is about getting a medal for losing all your matches in a BJJ competition. The question comes from a guy who was in a 3-man division, lost both of his matches and got a 3rd place medal.

He said that when the medal was offered to him, he didn’t accept it. He didn’t feel like he earned it. And he sent the question to me about whether or not he did the “right” thing by not accepting the medal.

So I chat about the idea, briefly, about participation medals in BJJ competitions and why I think his decision was better than the 1 that many people make when they become too attached to medals and trophies.

Can You Get Promoted in BJJ if You Only Do No Gi ?

December 15, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

One of the questions I’ve been asked a bunch recently is whether or not you can get promoted in BJJ if you only do No Gi. This question is coming about more and more as people decide to focus more on No Gi training rather than the gi.

So in this video I share some ideas on promoting people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu who choose to focus on No Gi training. I’ll also share how I do things at my gym and my thought process behind it. One of which is that I require gis to be worn for belt promotions.

Thanks for watching.
