The Best Jiu-Jitsu Search Engine in the World
The s mount might be my favorite mount position – why? because it is a real kill position. There are so many options for you from S-mount and none of them are good for your opponent. Check this video out. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go…
The cross choke is an incredibly effective submission and is used often and effectively in our academy. But you can escape them. With just a few tricks and techniques. Watch this video and I will show you how. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.
I’ve often heard White Belts in BJJ say they are going backwards in their training. And from the vantage point of an experience coach. I can see that this is simply not true.
But why do these newer White Belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu feel this way?
So many students have expressed this feeling to me over the years that I’ve settled on what I think is the culprit.
In many cases when a new White Belt starts their BJJ training. They often do all sorts of weird things that are technically unsound. They squeeze when they should push, move when they should remain in position and zig when they should zag.
This is often just due to inexperience and stress. While they get acclimated to the training and learn the rules of Jiujitsu they often just make up for the lack of knowledge with all sorts of mistakes.
Here’s the kicker though. Because they engage in this odd way. It often buys them a little time or at least throws off their opponent. This is because they are doing things that people are not trained to do. So it throws off the rhythm of their more experienced counterpart.
Eventually after the White Belt begins to settle down and use the techniques that have been shown to them. They find themselves getting picked apart.
This is due the fact that they are engaging in the territory of their more experienced training partners and will leave them sitting ducks for a while till they get better.
This is a must though. Everyone has to go through this learning face with their BJJ training. Because while the inexperienced spazzing out might buy you time. It will not ever allow you to win.
In this video I share some insights on this issue that many White Belts in BJJ face.
If you’re a newcomer to Brazilian Jiujitsu. I hope the video is helpful to you in your grappling training!

During one of our takedown BJJ classes. We covered the Clock Choke from the Turtle position. I showed this technique during a takedown class as it can often be used together with a snap down from the feet.
After class one of my BJJ students had a few questions regarding the Clock Choke and the 2 variations we did.
In the video you’ll see some subtle changes from his original choke and the 2nd he did.
In his case, he wasn’t placing proper hip pressure on me. But most importantly. His first grip, the kill grip, was off a little.
Once we adjusted his initial grip. He was set and ready to go.
If you’re trying to use the Clock Choke in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I hope this video helps you in some way.
If nothing else I hope it helps you realize the importance of the first grip. Once that grip is establish in the Turtle position. There are a ton of finishes, adjustments and attacks even if you don’t get the Clock Choke itself.

One of the more frustrating positions for me at times has been breaking the Full Guard. You could make it case to call it Escaping the Full Guard.
Either way, it’s a position that I find more frustrating than most and always have. The person on the bottom of Guard is in the dominant position and has such a strong ability to control movement. And I like to move a lot so this bothers me.
Recently I got a question from John who was asking about tips on breaking and passing the Full Guard during his BJJ training and he made reference to a video I posted.
The previous video was one of my Chewjitsu White Belt tips. Which is here: https://youtu.be/y_XH2Qknulo
In that previous video I show a couple tips and mistakes when it comes to breaking the Full Guard open.
In John’s question he asked for technical advice for his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu related problem. What I share in this video is more of a mindset change.
The reason for this is that my frustration and issues breaking the guard open were reduced dramatically once I changed the way I went about breaking the Guard and the way I thought about the position.
In the past while doing Brazilian Jiujitsu. I sort of saw myself in a good spot when I was on top in the Guard. But a quick look at the positioning of the hips will reveal that in BJJ, it’s actually not a good position.
If you were to flip the position over. You’d be in the bottom of Mount.
So if you’re someone that is experiencing issues and frustration working on the top of someones Full Guard. Hopefully the tips in this video will help!
Thanks!

This week I´m going to show you a footlock from DLR.
This was one of my go to techniques in my first year as a brown belt and it is a really effective technique, won many fights wiyh it.
Should you have to give up your rank when you join a new gym?
If you’re a Blue, Purple or Brown Belt should you have to restart over if your instructor thinks that you don’t know enough about their system?
What do you think?
In this video I answer that question.
The question comes from someone who has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a number of years and received his Blue Belt from a legitimate affiliation. I did not list any of the details of this person or his training to keep it private for him.
Because of work he’s had to move all over the place and hasn’t been able to train consistently at one Brazilian Jiujitsu gym for a long time.
Recently he started training BJJ at a new gym and really likes the instructor and the gym overall.
The problem he’s running into is that the instructor wants him to start over because he doesn’t know his system as well.
Our friend feels that this is a bit unfair and doesn’t want to restart his BJJ journey all over again. He adds that the frustrating part about this is that he’s doing very well during rolling against the instructors students and feels fine with the techniques he’s showing.
In this BJJ video I share a story about how I personally gave up my Purple Belt when I came to a new gym to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It was a new instructor who didn’t care for me or felt threatened by me.
I’ve also had students who I didn’t quite think were up to par with our Blue Belts. And I share whether or not I made them give up their rank. If you watch my BJJ videos you probably know what I did.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. And if you’re in the process of changing BJJ gyms. I hope this video is helpful to you or gives you some insight into any problems you might have.
Thanks!

What you I focus on as a Blue Belt? This was the BJJ question I received from Twitter. Recently one of the viewers received his BJJ Blue Belt and he’s not wondering “What now?” What should he focus on to progress.
As I share in this video. Ultimately, it would be wise to consult your Brazilian Jiujitsu coach or instructor to determine their requirement for the belt. Because they may be different than mine.
One of the beautiful things about BJJ is that it’s treated in many cases like an art form. With certain, at times unwritten, rules that govern the system and a self-regulatory aspect to fakers. But ultimately, we are free to sort of go about it as we please.
With that said, there is no standardization amongst the whole of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coaches about what each belt should be exactly.
A lot is left to interpretation.
But if you were one of my Bjj Blue Belts, as I say in the video, I would jump on the technical buffet line.
Now that you have a strong foundation that you built as a BJJ White Belt, it’s time to experiment and see the different things that could work for you. Instead of being focused solely on surviving, as is often the objective of white belt.
You can now test out all the stuff that’s out there. Keep the things you want and discard the options that don’t seem to be for you. Which will set you up nicely as a BJJ Purple Belt. Which is where I think people begin to specialize to some degree. The only way you’ll know what to specialize in is to test out as much as possible.
Also, be careful not to be too worried about the newly acquired target on your back as a Blue Belt. It’s no secret that when we roll with higher belts. We judge ourselves partly based on our performance with this higher ranks.
So as a new Blue Belt, BJJ White Belts are going to be pushing themselves to do well against you. Make sure you don’t get too wrapped up in the need to always win against your jr training partners. Because in order to develop new weapons and test out all of the options. You’ve got to become ok with failing and making mistakes. It’s simply how it is.
There’s more information about my thoughts as a BJJ Blue Belt in the video.
I hope the video is useful to you. And Thomas, thanks for the question brother!

Earlier this summer I did a set of BJJ solo drills for guard passing that you could do on a heavy bag. Using the heavy bag to mimic our opponent’s body in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
The BJJ guard passing drills can be see here: https://youtu.be/IRUtpYQ0c6E
One of the questions or requests I received from this BJJ drills video was if I could show when these movements would be used during a match.
So I picked 3 of the BJJ solo drills and included them in the video.
The three BJJ drills I chose are
– Spike pressure
– Hop Over
– Step Over
These 3 BJJ movements are incredibly helpful for developing a nasty Guard passing game in Brazilian Jiujitsu.
I also go into deeper explanation of how these drills might work or the concepts behind them.
You can use these movements as a part of your BJJ training. Whether to build up better agility and speed, or if you need some time off and use them as a supplement for training while you rest. As I was doing at the time of filming the video.
I hope this BJJ solo drills video is helpful as I know many of you don’t have a ton of time in the gym.
Thanks for watching!

A lot of people have this misconception that you can’t improve on only 2 – 3 days a week of BJJ training.
And these people feel like they need to either train more or do more outside of the gym to get better at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
And this is the question I received for this video. Recently I was asked about this same subject. The question was about what someone can do outside of the gym to get better inside the gym.
There are numerous options. But what I focused on for this video was the idea of maximizing the training time effectively when it’s limited.
I have a bunch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students who can only training 2-3 days a week. And they’re monsters. They are super tough. They win competitions and give me fits when I roll with them.
And over the years I’ve noticed certain traits these people share. So in this video I describe those traits and hopefully give you some advice on how you can still get better and improve with only 2-3 days a week of BJJ training.
I hope the video helps! Thank for watching.

There are some fairly simple concepts that you can use to effectively hold Side Control. While I don’t share all of them. I at least touch on some of the basics in this video.
Starting at the hips and moving up to the shoulders and neck.
In side control you need to have something connected or controlling the hips. Whether that’s a regular side control, 100 kilos, kesa gatame, reverse kesa gatame. It all has something that is controlling the hips.
Moving up to the idea of shoulders for side control. If you control the shoulders. You force the back to stay flat. If the person is flat on their back, it will be very difficult to escape. Most escapes from side control in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu involve coming up to the side to imitate the escape.
The last side control concept I share in this video is that of the neck. By controlling the persons face and neck. They are locked in place. If the person is facing away from you and is unable to turn towards you. They will not be able to get their escapes going effectively. At least not by turning towards you.
So if you’re looking for some ideas for side control in BJJ. Watch the video and hopefully some of the concepts listed in this video will be helpful to you.
