Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Light-Fether – Final

Recently I got a text message from my friend up in northern Kentucky about chasing medals and setting goals.

In a recent video I eluded to the idea that I think it’s not always the best idea to fixate on goals too much.

He sent me a message telling me that goals are what push him. In fact, he’s at Brown Belt and the fact that he is pushing it to win a medal is causing him to train harder than ever.

This video is a response to that.

Personally I think goals are great. I set them everyday. I have short term goals, long term goals. All that stuff. And they help make my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu better as well as help give direction in my life.

But you cannot fixate on goals too much. Because not matter what you achieve. You’re always going to want more.

You’re going to want to be better. Whether this is BJJ or some other aspect of your life.

So set goals. Both for Brazilian Jiujitsu and your life. But just remember that you’re going to slip and fall from time to time and you’ll have to dust yourself off and get back after it.

How do you tell your partner it was a Neck Crank and not a Choke without seeming whiny or upset.

Well technically I believe what we do is actually a strangle. As the definition of strangle is . . .
squeeze or constrict the neck of (a person or animal), especially so as to cause death.

But we’ll use choke to keep it simple for this BJJ video. 🙂

In this video I got asked how to bring up the somewhat taboo topic of letting your partner know that their choke was in fact a strangle.

A lot of times people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu dislike the neck crank and consider it a dick move. Primarily because it often just hurts and creates injury. Whereas a clean choke actually puts someone to sleep with typically no injury.

But as I talk about in the video. The neck crank is a legit submission. And in gym training it may be a smart idea to tap to them to avoid risk of injury to your neck.

But that said, I think many of us would like to have that clean choke which puts someone to sleep rather than causing them to walk around stiff as a board for a week.

And in that case I believe it’s important for BJJ practitioners to communicate with their training partners. Sometimes during the submissions themselves.

In this video I discuss how to bring up the subject of whether or not it’s a choke or crank without coming across as a sore loser.

Hope the video helps!

Brown-Belt/Adult/Male

In this video I show a way to manipulate the foot to escape Knee on Belly.

While it is being shown from Knee on Belly please keep in mind that this relationship works from a lot of different places. I’ve had a good bit of success pulling the foot in between the legs for a long time, primarily when my partner/opponent tries to hide their foot from the outside Single or when I try to grab the ankle. When they try to pivot the foot away it becomes easily accessible.

When attempting this move as it is being shown the hardest part will be grabbing the ankle. Expect to be crossfaced during the transition and focus on getting your belly to the floor rather than turning into them. It will be a battle, but the more elevation you get with your body the more power is in this grip.

In the next video I show a very slick entry into this that makes it much easier, but knowing the mechanics of this movement and the pathway to the hands will make the other set up much easier.

Today’s question from Selena is about self confidence. It pertains to her training BJJ for the 1st time. But she lacks confidence overall and would like to change that.

In this video I come from the perspective of someone who had no confidence when they were younger.

If you’ve watched my videos then you know that in high school I lacked confidence and it wasn’t until I continually trained in Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that I pulled myself out of it.

And I talk about the process and how you’re not necessarily born with self confidence. But instead you build it up like a muscle.

I talk about going from an overweight high schooler who couldn’t even talk to people to becoming a professional MMA fighter who talks to thousands of people through a camera.

The biggest idea I try to share in this video is that self confidence doesn’t mean you aren’t nervous or that you don’t have fears.

Confidence in yourself, whether BJJ or otherwise, is having those anxieties and fears but knowing that you can take care of it, that you can deal with it and overcome it.

So if you someone struggling with confidence in yourself. Whether to start your 1st BJJ class or something else. I hope the video is helpful!
