In this rolling video you’ll see my student’s get the better of me several times. Which I’m pretty happy about. During this particular BJJ training class we did a lot of situational rolling. Some rounds start with us having the kimura already locked in place, we did some passing guard vs sweeping rounds and ended with some full rounds.

I was personally hunting kimruas for this class as you’ll see me diving and rolling for kimuras from all kinds of funky positions. I’m trying to improve my ability to catch them in weird spots to boost my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu submissions.

I think my favorite moment of this training session happened @1:09 where one of my guys Matt has been trying to work on his takedowns. He’s already a monster from the guard using triangle chokes and that sort of thing. But his takedowns have always needed a little bit of work. Along with some Judo practice he’s also been drilling some shots. And during our roll at that point in the video he hit me with a beautiful double leg.

If you watch the video you’ll see me goofing around and then Matt plows right into me followed by me laughing. I think I called him a jerk with the happiest tone possible.

Hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching.

If you have a brand new White Belt in your gym, should smash them or let them work a bit? What if the new person got up after you were done rolling and began to brag about beating you or your inability to beat them? This is the question from one of our friends who ran into this situation recently with his BJJ training at his gym.

He says that a new White Belt came into his gym and during his roll he took it easy on the guy. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a tough sport and so he wanted to help the guy out. Well after the roll the new White Belt gets up and sort of brags about him not being able to beat him.

Frustrated, our friend is wondering. . . do you just smash every single new person that comes into do Brazilian Jiujitsu or do you do something else?

In this video I explain what myself and some of my coaches refer to the “Rich-Rule” and how it’s effective for curtailing that kind of negative behavior on the mat. I also discuss how I was very similar to the beginner who bragged. Well I would have never bragged about it. But I would have definitely thought I was better than I really was. Because I didn’t understand the reality of training till my coaches showed me that they could submit me every second, but could also take it easy on me and play.

Hopefully the video is useful to you. Thanks for watching.

In today’s video we talk about using “illegal submissions” inside your BJJ gym. Now when we say illegal what we mean is illegal in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. Our friend asks this because recently he’s found that he’s been successful using a few moves that aren’t allowed in Jiu-jitsu competitions and he’s wondering if he should continue to use them or not.

In the video I stress that I personally don’t want to be dependent on any type of technique. Whether it’s illegal, a gi specific move, no gi specific move, etc. I want my BJJ to be transferable to a fight, competition or rolling situation. Not just one or the other.

Also, competitions vary in what is legal and illegal so it’s hard to say 1 technique or another is illegal.

If you’re in a similar situation with using techniques that are illegal or just frowned upon then hopefully this video makes sense.

Thanks for watching!

Here is a short highlight video from the recent IBJJF Nashville Open where I won my Super Heavy Division and the Open Weight at Master 1 Black Belt. During these BJJ matches you’ll see me battling mostly with guard passing. I did have one takedown battle but the rest were fights in the passing positions.

If you watch my videos or have purchased my grip fighting series you’ll notice a lot of the stuff I teach and preach being used in the competition.

During the tournament I was only able to snag 1 submission. The rest of the competitors stopped my attempts so I won on points.

Each one of my opponents was tough in his own way and I’m happy I was able to come out on top and snag the wins for myself, my Derby City MMA team and the Team Shawn Hammonds Association.

I want to end this message with this. Much respect to all of the other Black Belts I competed against as they’re gym owners or instructors at gyms. It takes a lot of guts to get out and compete when you have eyes on you like that. So I have mad respect for all of them.

Hope you guys enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

In today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique video I show one of my favorite Butterfly Guard passes. It’s a simple guard pass that requires a bit of positioning and timing to hit properly. This video request came from my fellow bearded BJJ buddy Johnny Buck. You can watch some of our BJJ rolling videos on the channel. He sent it a question calling it a fake move and trolling me just a bit. That’s what friend’s do right?

The key to setting up this particular Butterfly Guard pass is to make sure to put your head in good position so that it forces your opponent slightly back onto their butt and causes them to be easily moved.

From their it’s a simple grip on the shoulder and knee. Again, it’s a super simple move. But if you drill it and build up the timing it becomes super effective. Even if the pass itself fails it will still cause the person to scramble for a Half Guard or possibly a Full Guard.

So if you’re looking for a Butterfly Guard pass. I hope the “Superman Pass” works for you with your BJJ training or competitions.

In today’s video you’ll see a mixture of rolling with one of my Big BJJ White Belt Don and some of my Purple and Brown Belts. Don is a funny guy and somehow we jokingly decided that I was going to wrist lock him and that’s why I was chasing after it so aggressively. It’s not that I like to pick on my White Belts. Well maybe sometimes. . . I’m kidding.

Also of note is that during this BJJ training session we were purposely starting in bad positions. So each round would begin in either Back Mount, Mount or Side Control. This session was leading up to a competition and so I like to put us in bad positions so that we can get comfortable fighting out of them.

Hopefully you enjoy the video. We’re still playing around with editing so feel free to throw your opinions down in the comments below.

Also if you have a question about a technique please leave them in the comments below.

Thanks for watching!

The culture in BJJ has a lot of people who use marijuana/cannabis/weed regularly as something that helps open up their creativity during training or relax them at night. In today’s video I got a question from our friend who has friends who say that smoking marijuana before training opens up their game and always them to be more creative. And he’s curious what my experiences with it and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu are.

I preface this whole video with the fact that I don’t smoke regularly. I’ve done it a few times and don’t dislike or like it a ton. I’m just neutral with it. And if you’re an adult, you can do whatever you want to do, and you should have the right to. That’s why this is an opinion and not some hard stance.

But in the video I do share some possible apprehensions I would have if you decide to smoke for creativity purposes. I have these same apprehensions towards alcohol, caffeine and other psychoactive drugs that we consume on a regular basis.

I know that many people have strong feelings for or against weed. That’s fine, I don’t. Just sharing my opinion on the idea as asked by a viewer.

Thanks for watching!

Triangle Chokes are one of the most effective submissions from the bottom positions and can be a huge problem for any top player or guard passer. In today’s video we have a question regarding just that situation. Our friend Nick who is a wrestler type who is coming into BJJ is getting caught in triangle chokes left and right and he’s wondering if I have any tips on dealing with the situation.

In this video I share tips on both a triangle choke defense and how to defend it. I used to struggle with the same problem as a wrestler who would get caught in triangle chokes while passing guard. I also show how I corrected the issue.

I also share how I like to look at the triangle as a position which has multiple stages. I consider 3 stages of triangles to be a starting point which I explain in the video.

From there I talk about some tips to escape the triangle in stage 1, or a loosely locked triangle. I’ll work on escapes for the future if in a deeper position.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
