How to find a good BJJ school that fits with your goals and aspirations in the sport

From my experience as a White Belt and from what I’ve seen with my students. Often after the initial survival phase that begins at the start of someone’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

The Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner often then enters a point where they begin to find an ability to maintain offensive positions for longer and longer durations. And while in these BJJ positions, opportunities begin to present themselves. But because of the inexperience of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner and potential fear of letting go of the recently acquired comfort of the offensive position. They either miss the opportunity to secure the secure the submission or they are too afraid to pull the trigger and go for it.

This is the question I received from a Brazilian Jiujitsu White Belt, Jake, who is running into this very issue.

He’s finding that his defense has become good enough to afford him some comfort. But he is unable to really go after the submissions he see’s because of the fear of failing.

He believes that he needs for aggression to fill the gap in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu abilities.

In this video I share how I don’t believe that added aggression is necessarily the issue. I believe it’s more of a problem with fear than sheer aggression that is hindering his growth and abilities.

I also attribute this point in his BJJ training to the natural progression of most White Belts who are trying to progress and “win.”

I hope the video is helpful to you with your training and being able to go after submissions or any technique for that matter, more effectively and without the encumbrance of fear or worry. Or at least, if it’s there you learn to cope with it better.

Thanks!

Yesterday I showed a closed guard break video that got some negative feedback from people saying that it would leave you vulnerable to a sweep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BO3wSEPN30). Here’s my response to the people who politely asked me about countering the lumberjack sweep attack during that guard break

Do you think you can keep up? Cobrinha shows a variety of solo arm bar drills you can do. And for those that have CobrinhaOnline, there is a special behind-the-scenes video of Cobrinha teaching some great no gi techniques that can be used in MMA.

Do you keep a BJJ journal? Do you think a Jiujitsu journal is a good idea?

If so what style of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu journal do you keep?

For me personally, I’m an avid journal keeper. I’ve had some ongoing journal since I was 18 years old. Both personal and Jiujitsu related. And over the years I’ve tried different styles of journals to document my experiences, training and just life in general. And the styles of journals I’ve had related to training have changed over the years through my journey from White Belt to Black Belt.

In this video I share some of the journals that I use currently use in my training and discuss some ways that might be useful for you in your own training.

One of the big things I discuss in this BJJ video is how I dislike keeping a Jiujitsu journal solely for BJJ techniques. Often over the years when I look back at these journals. I don’t really remember what I was talking about.

So one of the more important aspects I document in my BJJ journal is the experiences I have during situations like tournaments and competitions, great training sessions, and really any big experience that’s happening in my life related to Brazilian Jiujitsu.

I also use a journal to write down what BJJ drills I plan to drill during a practice. This helps me stay on task and make sure I hit my goals.

Anyways, you can watch the rest in the video. I hope it helps!

The 50/50 Position – Some people hate this position. But I love it. Why, well, probably because I use it. Sure the position can be used for stalling…which is no good… but if it’s used for sweeps and attacks – then this is the move for you. And it certainly is the move for me. Watch this video as I discuss how to use the 50.50 to get a great sweep and straight into a footlock or other potential attack positions. It sure is killer! Enjoy guys. As always, give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…
