Have you ever tried to convince someone to come back to BJJ after quitting? Maybe a training partner, friend or something. I ask the question because in today’s Q&A the question is “Have you ever convinced someone to come back to BJJ?”

I assume this question is because our friend is trying to get a someone to come back to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I’ll explain why I don’t try and convince people to come back to Brazilian Jiujitsu anymore. I used to, but I don’t anymore.

Instead, as I talk about in the video, I do something else that is much more powerful and attract them back to training without having me try to convince them. In fact, one of the Black Belts I promoted recently came back in this manner.

Hope you enjoy the video, and if you’re trying to convince someone to come back to your BJJ gym take the experience I share to heart. It’s more common than not.

Thanks for watching.

If you’re stuck at home doing workouts for any reason whether it’s a corona virus or just your garden variety injury then you can use the tips I share in this video to get more bang for your buck from the exercises you use. In addition, it’s a really solid tip to incorporate into your regular lifting. You can also use this tip with your BJJ solo drills.

It’s a very simple idea that I share in this video but it’s one that can make any simple exercises way more difficult.

That tip is simply do the reps slower and with control. Seems easy but when you slow a repetition down to 5, 10, or 15 seconds it becomes much more taxing on the muscles.

The beauty of doing this is that it increases time under tension, make the exercise more difficult and increase the mind body connection formed during the movement.

Hope this video is useful to you especially if you’re stuck at home unable to workout like normal.

Ever heard the saying “sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail”? Well in this BJJ rolling video you’ll see me be 100% nail. Granted it was to be expected since I was rolling with 2X ADCC champion Jt Torres. It’s still another thing entirely to “feel” it.

During the no gi BJJ training we got started relatively slow with the rolling and then began to speed it up a bit. By the end of the rolling (which lasted about 30 minutes) we had a pretty good sweat going.

During the video you’ll see Jt Torres outwork me with his position and technique. I mean he’s in great shape for sure. But his positioning and technique were truly incredible. I was never able to put myself into a strong attacking position which put me on the defensive constantly.

I could have not posted this video but I think it’s important for transparency. Many of you follow me and look to me for answers to your Brazilian Jiujitsu questions. And I’m happy to share my ideas with you. But always remember that I’m on the same path you are. I’m trying to improve and be the best I can be. And sometimes I do great and other times I get mauled, like in this video. But I’ll keep going and doing my best to improve. And so should you!

Hope you enjoyed the video!

Want to learn a nasty Knee Cut Guard Pass variation for your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game that leads right into a back take? In today’s BJJ technique video 2X ADCC champion Jt Torres shows a beautiful setup, pass and finish to Back Mount with a choke.

The video is about 10 minutes long and is crammed with good details for taking your knee cut pass to the next level. So make sure you re watch it a few times and even consider taking some notes if you want to absorb the information.

Also, if I can recommend something to you. Pay extra close attention , and drill, the setup that gets you into the position. That position he shows to setup the knee cut pass wrecked my Half Guard and Butterfly Guard.

One last thing that I’ll throw in there is that Jt used this guard pass on me several times during our no gi rolling session (which will be live on Friday). So I can vouch for him that the stuff really works.

Hope the video is useful to you! Thanks for watching.

I got a question about how to take techniques you’re learning and transfer them to rolling faster. And in this message I also got a second question about experiencing what I call “A-HA” moment during BJJ training. Because Anthony says he was rolling in his Brazilian Jiujitsu class and was so effective and he’s never felt that way before.

In the video I talk about a simple strategy to develop techniques faster and I also talk about the skill jumps that happen in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. These skill jumps are often unpredictable and can fluctuate from day to day.

If you have a similar question to Anthony then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video.

Are wrist locks a dirty submissions? Are they cheating? If you use them are you doing something wrong within the typical rules or culture of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? This is the question I received from Kevin recently.

Kevin comes from a traditional martial arts background where he learned a lot of wrist locks and he wants to use them in his BJJ training. But he says his coach doesn’t allow White Belts to use them. In addition to that he says he gets the vibe that wrist locks are sort of looked down on in his gym. As if they are dirty in some way.

So he sent me a message to get his perspective which I share in the video.

The biggest issue with them, as I see it, isn’t that they are cheating, but that they are sneaky. Wrist locks in Brazilian Jiujitsu are sneaky submissions and I think thats why we laugh about them at times when we get caught with one. And I think it’s this “sneaky” nature about them that makes us call them “dirty” or say “prison rules”, but as I will explain in the video. It’s the same sneaky nature that makes them so valuable.

If you had a similar question to Kevin then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video!

Today’s No Gi rolling video has a ton of great exchanges. Everything from Back Mount counters to leg locks to defending my guard against some big dudes! My favorite roll from this week’s rolling video is against my Brown Belt Rob who is 240lbs and moves like he is small guy at times and was shutting down my Butterfly Guard game with his hop overs and quick guard passing. It really is a fun exchange to watch.

I ended up bailing on the Butterfly and did a weird slide by to get around to the back. In case you’re wondering I finished the roll with a wrist lock.

Hope you guys enjoyed the video!
