Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Quarterfinal

Today’s technique question comes from Jesse who wants a high percentage Honeyhole Entry for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. In this video I show an entry from Half Guard. Now Honeyhole goes by other names like sankaku, saddle, etc. It’s a great position for setting up heel hooks, kneebars, straight ankles, slicers and all sorts of leg locks.

Even before I started playing much with leg locks in BJJ I liked the position. It has a ton of submission options from it and does a good job of protecting your legs against their attacks.

For instance with a position like 50/50 in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Both people have the ability to attack with a submission. With the honeyhole position it’s much more difficult. It’s not to say that there aren’t things you can do. But it’ just more difficult.

In this video I show my favorite and one of the more high percentage entries I started using early on. The best part about this technique is that it works off of someone doing the right thing inside of half guard.

So thanks again for the quesiton Jesse! Hope the video is useful. And if you’re looking for an entry into the position I hope this gets your brain thinking.

Thanks for watching!

Today’s question comes from out friend who is a Purple Belt in BJJ and he said he is overwhelmed with the amount of options he has available to him. He’s also worried about the fact that because Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is evolving so fast. If he picks a technique or position to focus on it will become obsolete.

In this video I share a few ideas. The 1st being that this is a real problem for higher belts. In the beginning when we are White Belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. There’s just so much that things can be overwhelming because we are so inexperienced and can’t use any of it.

But as we progress and improve to the point of Purple Belt, or even Brown and Black Belt in some cases, we are then faced with a new problem.

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is still overwhelming but not because our skill isn’t good. But instead, because are so fundamentally strong we have endless options available to us! We literally can use all of it! And that’s the focus of todays’ question.

I answer this question some helpful ideas that I hope will help you if you’re in a similar situation.

Thanks for watching!

Recently I competed at the IBJJF 2019 Summer Chicago Open tournament. During this BJJ competition I was able to hit several of the techniques I teach through my Youtube videos and in my gym.

During the highlight video you’ll see a mixture of guard passing, top pressure and takedowns where I was able to win triple gold at the BJJ tournament. The medals were 1 gold in my weight class (gi) then gold in my weight class (no gi) and I won the open class (no gi).

These matches took place in the Masters 1 division.

If you’re not familiar with what Masters divisions are in Brazilian Jiujitsu. They’re divisions for us “old” guys. Haha.

Truth be told I still compete against younger guys in various tournaments but I prefer the shorter match times of 6 minutes. This match duration allows me to play aggressively without worrying about running out of steam.

Enjoy the video and I just want to say thanks again to all of you who showed your support during the competition.

Oh and it was great meeting many of you who were there!

Thanks for watching!

In class recently I was teaching what my BJJ students and I jokingly call the Spoon Choke. Which is just a rear naked choke that ends in the “spoon” position you might be in with a your significant other. And one of my White Belts asked a good question. Is position before submission a myth?

She asked this because the position we were attacking from is not part of the Big 3 most commonly awarded points in competition and focused on during training. These Brazilian Jiu-jitsu positions being Mount, Back Mount and Side Control with Knee On Belly being used as well.

I told her that position before submission is not a myth. Our ability to dominate position gives us the ability to control our opponents effectively and setup a submission with predictable effectiveness.

That said, there are submissions everywhere in Brazilian Jiujitsu and they don’t happen only after you gain dominant position.

In fact, for me one of the things I’ve found that has been helpful for back mount is by attacking the submission early, even before I establish the hooks and everything.

I still have dominant position even if it’s not the normal positions we are accustomed to.

By doing this I catch the person off guard while they’re fighting for position and I am able to secure the submission.

Check out the idea and maybe it will be useful to you.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Final

When I compete in BJJ tournaments and competitions I’m not really focused on getting the gold medal. Do I want to win my matches? Of course, but I’ve found that when my mindset is fixated on winning or losing, or getting the gold medal, I lose sight of what I have to do to win. Which is COMPETE and use my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game to the best of it’s abilities.

I bring this up because our friend who is a new Blue Belt send a question in about losing the gold medal/winning mindset.

Basically, he took 2nd place as a White Belt and ever since then he’s been itching to get back after it and have a chance at winning a gold medal. So in pursuit of this goal he’s been training his butt off.

And with only 6 weeks prior to his competition his coach decided to promote him. Now, this would be a great thing, but now he’s worried about competing at a higher level.

He said that he’s lost the “I’m gonna go for the win and the gold medal” to “I’m just going to survive.”

Now we all want to win our matches in Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments. It goes without saying.

But in this video I’ll explain why I personally don’t like to compete with a fixation on winning.
Hopefully it’s help with your mindset in BJJ competitions.

Here Jake shows a fairly simple but tricky submission option when the basic butterfly sweep fails. Most experienced players probably won’t let you sweep them so easily so this submission finish works great to catch your opponent off guard when he defends the sweep.

Would you like a couple of extra submissions from the Turtle position? Cool, well that’s what I break down in this BJJ technique video. In the video I show 2 chokes that can be done from the Turtle position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This question comes from our friend Pauline who trains BJJ up in Canada and is wanting to get a couple of extra attacks from the position.

In this video I show two of my favorite “go to” chokes from Turtle. The 1st is a basic rear naked choke style submission.

I’ll do this one anytime I see or feel the chin raise up away from the chest.

If the chin doesn’t raise up much then I move to the other submission option which is a Guillotine Choke. This submission can be used for the submission itself or it will cause the person to roll away to avoid it.

Check out the submissions and I hope they help you out! Thanks again to Pauline for the question.

In this video I show my favorite BJJ submission chain from Side Control I used as a White Belt in Jiu-jitsu rolling and competitions. Truth be told, I still use elements of it even now as a Black Belt. Just illustrating the fact that good sound fundamentals moves never become truly obsolete. So you don’t have to be a White Belt to use this submission series.

I originally learned this submission chain series from an old Brazilian Jiu-jitsu DVD series and would practice it with my roommate who was also involved with training.

It’s a pretty simple sequence. First it starts from Side Control with the Kimura and transitioning to North South. After that I use an Armbar if the Kimura isn’t successful or doesn’t feel right. Finally if all of those options fail I go for Back Mount.

If you know me, you know I love taking the back! And this is one of the first transitions I used that helped create this love for back taking.

So whether or not you’re a BJJ White Belt. I hope you enjoy the submission chain shown in this video and I hope it’s useful to you.
