Today we’ve got a question from Chris who’s been training BJJ for a few years now.

He says that he has a “lazy Jiu-jitsu problem.”

When he’s fighting for takedowns, getting his guard passed, and even searching for submissions, he tends to give up before he meets too much resistance.

Essentially, he just rolls over and dies when things get tough.

He wants to be more aggressive and is wondering if I had any tips on how to develop that aggression.

In this video I’ll explain how Chris doesn’t have a lazy Jiu-Jitsu problem, he’s not lazy. He’s training, exhausted, etc. However, what’s going on (probably) is that Chris, like many people for whatever reason, has not been taught to fight through positions.

This is something that has to be trained with your coach, or something you can train yourself.

I’ll give a few examples to help with the problem, even comparing a few values from sports Wrestling that can help you with Chris’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu problem.

Hopefully you found this video helpful, especially if you are struggling with a similar problem to Chris.

Thanks for watching.

This video I discuss the importance of developing end point positions first. Often we try ti memorize open guard positions, and while this can be useful its critical to deeply understand the end positions first because they are the easiest to calculate. I reccomend people new to jiu jitsu should start with submissions first, then positional controls, then open guard positions.

In BJJ everyone wants to be more offensive and hit more submissions. It’s fun! In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu nothing feels quite as good as a well-timed submission. And so today’s question comes from a White Belt who said he’s defense is good but wants to turn up the offense now.

So in this video I’ll share 2 things. #1 I’ll share something that will destroy your ability to be offensive on the mats against similarly skilled opponents. #2 is a simple idea to eliminate this problem and how to become laser focused on your offensive techniques and submissions.

Now, I won’t lie to you. The idea is super simple. But it’s effective. It’s something I still do to this day. And when I think of all my best students and friends in grappling, they do the same thing.

So anyways. . . Hope the video gives you some useful ideas to assist you with your training.

There is a danger to achieving your goals in BJJ or any endeavor you find yourself in. And that’s what we’re going to focus on for today’s video.

The question asker is Nina who says she’s in a situation where she’s accomplished several goals she had and now she’s in a situation where she lacks the same motivation and drive she used to have.

Her question to me is how can she get that drive back in her life and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. So in this video I’ll explain the natural rhythm we all experience as we accomplish our goals and the process around that.

If you’re experiencing a loss of motivation and focus after hitting a big goal I hope this video helps!
