Today’s BJJ technique question comes from Spencer who’s getting to a Kimura from the bottom but is unable to finish it. He sent me a question asking for options based on the position he was getting to.

As a Kimura guy I know the exact issue he’s running into. So, in the video I show 2 different armbar options I’ve used in competitions. They’re just basic variations of the corkscrew armbar.

If you find yourself in the same situation, then I hope the techniques help.

Comparison is the thief of joy, right? Well, possibly. Comparison can also be an incredibly helpful. It just depends on what you’re comparing. And in this video I get into this idea to answer a question from James who says he’s struggling with comparing his BJJ journey to other people’s. He says he knows he shouldn’t do it, but he does it anyway and it’s negatively affecting him.

So in the video I’ll share more about some of the better things to compare that could be useful to you in BJJ and in other area of your life. Hope the video is useful to you!

A reader of my newsletter (https://www.grapplearts.com/newsletter) had a question about how to become better at setting up his submissions. I try to explain the concepts of singular attacks, combination attacks, and feinting attacks using multiple high-percentage examples

In today’s video I share a little secret for longevity in BJJ and a tip that is incredibly useful for making it to Black Belt and beyond. Now I know that language of “secrets” is a little hyperbolic, but I see so many people struggle with the idea I share in this video. I also, don’t see a lot of people talk about this. But it’s something that’s been helpful in my BJJ training and practice when forced to work around injuries or help my training partners do the same.

Now I’m sharing this because this situation just happened the other day with one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students and it happens regularly.

So watch the video and weather you’re injured now, have a training partner injured or simply keep the idea on the backburner. Hopefully the information in the video is useful to you.

I get a lot of questions from people (my students and online followers) about the best foods to eat before BJJ training. Many people ask this because they struggle to eat and then train without feeling sick. I literally just had this conversation with one of my students in the gym the other day.

So in this video I share some basic ideas on what’s worked for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. Warning! This is a video talking about diet which means everyone, and their mother is going to have something to say about it. Here’s my advice. Don’t fall victim to zealotry when it comes to dieting. Most often people push this stuff for their benefit, not yours.

And with that said my encouragement is to try things out for yourself. So I lay out the methodology of me pre-training nutrition along with some of my favorite pre-training foods.

Hopefully the video is useful to you.

There are 2 big mistakes I see people make when they’re trying to finish their collar chokes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s something I did as a White and Blue Belt . . . to be honest, it’s something I’ve done even into the higher belt ranks. But especially at the lower ranks it was a problem.

So, in this BJJ technique video I’ll show you the simple corrections to these 2 common collar choke mistakes. By simply fixing these 2 errors you could possibly take your collar chokes that aren’t working now and making them effective during rolling.

I know this has been the case for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Oh and in case you watch the video and don’t understand the terms casting and reeling, I’m referencing the actions you use with a fishing pole.

Hope the video helps you with your training.
