In today’s video I answer a question from a newer Blue Belt who’s struggling to build offense in his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game. He says his defense is good but he’s unable to use offensive techniques when he rolls.

So in this video I outline some very basic ideas on how to find a focus in BJJ. Along with this idea of focusing in a direction I also share how you have to let go of the need for certainty with the direction you pick. In addition to that, once you pick a direction expect lots of failures along the way. It’s always worth mentioning to people that any technique that’s been mastered to some degree was built on a mountain of failures.

Hope this video helps you with your BJJ. Thanks for watching.

Blue Belt Blues in BJJ doesn’t really exist. I’m going to just start with that. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu some new Blue Belts get very attached to this idea of The Belt Blues as a reason why they’re having trouble being motivated.

And I guess if you put too much focus on the Blue Belt it could be tough. But I think the idea of attaching yourself and identifying with something is dangerous.

If you believe you are something, you’re that. So if you think you have Blue Belt Blues, then you have it.

But if you just look at it like a short lived funk in your Brazilian Jiujitsu training that you need to shake off instead of some sort of “condition” you’ll probably find it lasts a much shorter time.

In this video I discuss this topic as our friend is struggling with competitions and has become gripped by this idea of Blue Belt Blues.

If you’re struggling as a new Blue Belt in BJJ. I hope this video helps!

Just type on BJJ fingers into Google Images and you will see what happens when you get injured fingers in Jiu Jitsu. It’s not pretty. But it does not have to be that way. There is a simple technique a simple hack that can change all of that. It might take a while to adjust at first but once you do…all those aching and injured finger days will be behind you. And what’s better – your grip will strengthen. Check out this video where I describe how to do this hack. I know you are going to love it. Give it a try. Let me know how you go.

It sounds silly but breathing is so important to our cardio. Ok, it is silly. Of course, it is. But how often during the strenuous parts of a roll do we just plain forget and hold our breath. When we exercise our strength and find ourselves holding our breath. This is a recipe to gas out…and when you are really, really tired your Jiu Jitsu suffers and suffers badly. But there is no need. Watch this video as I discuss some super easy techniques you can use right away to improve your breathing and improve your cardio. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes

A topic that comes up a lot for people that compete. There are better ways and worse ways to cut weight. Seriously dehydrating yourself is not one of them!

One of my favourites passes. And a pass that is taught very early on to my white belts. This video teaches some very basics with some simple ideas to be aware of so you can execute this effectively. Done correctly this can become a mainstay of your Jiu Jitsu guard passing game. Check out the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

Now we are getting into some more nitty gritty…check it out!

Ashi garami, heelhook. Submission, counter and another counter to submission. You should know it all. Watch the second installment in detail and let me know if you have any questions.

What a great time and experience I am having Dallas. I get to learn with the legends in the sport. In this quick little video, the master – Prof John Machado…takes me over two ways to pass the half guard. Awesome thoughts and techniques from a legend.

This is an awesome takedown. In Jiu Jitsu, we tend not to practice takedowns as often as perhaps we should and we all know how competitions start. This Low Single is awesome for all shapes and sizes but I think where it really comes into its own is with smaller opponents taking down larger opponents. It’s incredibly effective. Watch this video and find out how. Try it on the mats and let me know how you g….

This is not a common submission. But it’s not hard either. And it’s a little bit tricky. So can catch your training partner off guard. I am sure you will get submission success with this on the mat. Watch the video and give it a try on the mat…and let me know how it works out…

A really fantastic sweep that is much easier than you might think. There are a few little tricks and tips that will help you on the way. But once you master this – you will have wonderful success on the mats. I know it. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go.

Another really easy practice – this time to massively improve the power of both your Kimura and Footlocks. You won’t believe the improvements that will be made. And all it takes is practice and as with the choke practice, you can do this effortlessly while watching TV and the 100 or 1,000 reps you need to make your techniques unstoppable. Try it. Practice it. And let me know how it goes on the mat.
