bjj safety tips Archives

I recently listened to the Lex Fridman podcast with Craig Jones, and they brought up the idea of “Seminar Snipers” at BJJ seminars.

The clip is included in the video.

Craig talks about confronting injury threats on your own as an instructor in different Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms. The idea is not to injure someone for no reason, but just in self-defense.

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Anyways, often when it comes time for the class & visiting BJJ instructor to roll, there’s sometimes people who feel like they have something to prove.

This person usually tends to be very spazzy & dangerous with the instructor.

I wanted to dive into this unfortunate situation and talk about some unwritten rules, and how I deal with and approach rolling at seminars, especially as a 39-year-old BJJ coach who does NOT want to go to war every day.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from a BJJ Black Belt in his late 30s, Bob, who was training with another Black Belt, who was in his early 20s.

While they were rolling at Jiu-Jitsu practice the Young, competitive, Black Belt caught Bob in an Arm Bar.

As Bob was working to defend, the Young Black Belt tried his hardest to break the grip with 20 seconds left, and all of a sudden Bob tore his peck.

Now, Bob needs surgery & it will be 8-12 months before he’s back on the mats.

He wants to know what my perspective on the situation is, if he should be pissed at the young Black Belt, etc.

In this video, I’ll address this “safe submission” in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that got Bob injured & dive into why I would not call it “safe”.

I’ll also give you guys a training tip that will make you a better finisher in competition & help you keep your training partners healthy when you finish submissions.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.
