In today’s BJJ video I cover what I believe is a common misconception about White Belt survival in Jiu-jitsu training. This video is in response to another Chewy Q&A I did where I spoke about 70% of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is won and lost in the guard passing battle. This include passing guard, sweeping, not getting swept, guard retention, etc.

You can watch that original video where I discussed the idea to a White Belt who was feeling overwhelmed with techniques here: https://youtu.be/Lj_YN8wvxI0

Now in this video I talk about the misconception and break it down visually with Adam to illustrate my point. I hope this video helps you think of being able to survive in BJJ as more than just balling up and getting smashed on bottom. Because I believe if you’re strong from the guard passing (top and bottom) battle you’ll be ale to survive longer.

Hope the video is useful to you and your BJJ training.
Thanks for watching.

In this video I share a cautionary tale of how I did permanent damage to myself from returning to hard BJJ training too quickly after a layoff from Jiu-jitsu. I’m sharing this because a lot of people (including my students) are coming back to their gyms after the lockdown and quarantine and I’d like to make sure they don’t injure themselves like I did years ago.

In the video I’ll talk about 2 of my layoffs that came from minor injuries and then led to bigger injuries when I tried to resume my normal Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, lifting and conditioning training schedule too quickly.

This situation was created by a poor mindset and so I hope that by bringing it light I can help steer you away from making the same mistake I made twice in my life.

So watch the video and take the lessons to heart if you’re coming back to training after the lockdown.
Hope the video is useful and thanks for watching!

In today’s video I share the big difference from how I trained BJJ when I was younger and how I train BJJ now that I’m a bit older and wiser. I’m sharing this because I received a question from a young guy who says he gets embarrassed when a teammates whom he beat, adjust and beats him.

I resonate with this question because I struggled with this same situation from White Belt to Purple Belt. Most of it stemmed from insecurity but it was a real issue. As I gained some age, experience and some tips from my coaches I started changing my perspective on training.

And in the video I’ll share my Black Belt focus on training which has been super useful.

If you’re struggling with a similar situation then I hope the video is useful.

In this video I answer a question about teaching a person who is a felon. The question comes from Jake who is training with a convicted felon and wanted to know if I would ever do the same?

In the video I explain that I have taught several felons BJJ. Their charges were related to drugs when they were younger, their debt was paid to society and they became people who desperately wanted to change their life around.

Now I have told some people that they cannot train due to charges. A couple in particular were related to sexual crime charges. I personally don’t feel comfortable teaching people like that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu especially since we have kids around.

But hopefully this video helps Jake and if you have ever had a similar question, hopefully it’s useful for you too.

Thanks for watching.
