In today’s video I share a simple breathing exercise to try the next time you’re rolling in your BJJ gym. It’s a simple idea that can help you slow down your pace, not be so pazzy (if you’re a white belt) and even help you out last someone else.

I started doing this type of breathing back in 2018 after reading a couple of books that got recommended to be from a friend. And initially it was a struggle to breathe in the way I talk about in the video. But now after doing it for several years it’s much more natural and I’ve noticed it’s given me a clear advantage of my opponents in competitions and some of my training partners in the gym.

Hope the video is helpful to you. And good luck with trying the exercise the next time you roll.

In today’s video I answer a question from a new BJJ White Belt who’s struggling to find the balance with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and all of the other activities he does.

He says that he’s already a physically active person who does lots of other activities. And this combined with BJJ is leading to a lot of soreness, fatigue and some injuries.

In the video I’ll share some ideas on abandoning the idea of balance for periods of time in your life. I’ll share how I’ve done it in the past with various physical activities and projects.

Today’s video is a Half Guard sweeps drilling video. This is some of the things I’m working on with my classes and I figured I’d share them with you as well.

In the video you’ll see 7 different Half Guard sweeps or techniques used. And the way we do it is after the sweep or technique is used the other person will regain their half guard and then the sequence restarts. This keeps the action moving and keeps it more engaging for both people.

If you’re a Half Guard player or trying to get better at the position, I hope the sweeping drills help.

Recently I received an email from a viewer, Chris, who titled the message “Is my BJJ Gym Cobra Kai?” This of course caught my attention, so I wanted to see what his situation was. He says that the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training inside the gym is great but unfortunately the main coach he trains with is a bit of a jerk.

Recently the coach said that he’s focused on his competitors and any hobbyists need to ask other coaches for help because he doesn’t have time for them.

His primary coach saying this rubbed Chris the wrong way and created a situation where he’s curious as to whether he should leave his gym (even though he doesn’t want to) or stick it out.

In the video I’ll share some ideas that will hopefully be useful to Chris and anyone else in a similar situation.

Thanks for watching!

In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from Matt who says he fails to turn up the intensity in BJJ training and gets beat by people who aren’t as large, athletic or technical experienced as him.
​
He wants to be nice to his training partners in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and has trouble tapping into the tougher side of himself. He also feels bad applying knee on belly or heavy pressure to people. ​​

He’s a BJJ Blue Belt now and becoming more aggressive has been one of his main focuses since White Belt.

So I share some ideas to hopefully help him with his aggression dilemma. If you’re in a similar situation then I hope it helps you too.
