When your opponent postures with one knee up it’s a great time to hit him with the double shin sweep from butterfly guard and get to the top. Check out https://www.amazon.com/Non-Stop-Jiu-Jitsu-Champions-Aggressive/dp/B08CPNPNDD, the book guiding you through world champion Brandon Mullin’s BJJ game!

The idea for this video came from a conversation with one of the white belts at the gym. His question was about where to start or what to focus on from various positions.

When I started training over 10 years ago, instructional videos were very limited and the youtube library of techniques was not at all what it is today.

My go-to way for studying was books because that was the way I was used to learning. Reading, highlighting, underlining, and taking notes…so thats why I was drawn to books.

The one book that I recommend for all beginners is “Jiu-Jitsu University” by BJJ black belt and multiple time world champion Saulo Ribeiro.

This book was a vital resource for me starting out and has details from many positions including proper positions/posture, sweeps, submissions, and a bunch more.

If you’re a beginner, I recommend picking up the book.
