In today’s BJJ technique video I show an effective fundamental sweep from Full Guard can work from White Belt to Black Belt. It’s also a sweep that has a ton of carry-over value to things like armbars, oma-platas and other techniques from closed guard. Lastly, it’s also a sweep for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, that if you get good at using it, can lead to lots of other sweeps and submissions.

That sweep is non other than the Pendulum Sweep and is right in line with things like Scissor Sweeps as Fundamentals all White Belts must have some understanding of. Now in this video I show the distinction I make between the Pendulum and the Flower sweep because they get mixed up. Now I’m not saying everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu goes by the same names as I share in the video, but this is what I call them.

Anyways, I share some details on how to set it up, how to execute it and how to finish it that I hope are useful to you and your Jiu-jitsu.

Thanks for watching.

In today’s video I talk about getting ready for a BJJ competition. In particular getting ready for a Jiu-jitsu competition with a different ruleset. The question comes from Phillip who is getting ready for a competition with a rule set he’s not used to. He’s wondering should he roll under the same rules as the competition leading up to the tournament or should he just roll like normal and make adjustments on the day of the matches?

I’ll explain how I do it and how I prepare for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition regardless of the rules.

And if you’re getting ready for a BJJ match, tournament or competition then I hope it’s useful.

In today’s Q&A video I share 4 reasons why I’ve learned more at Black Belt than any other belt rank in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Some of the reasons will seem counterintuitive but hopefully it’ll make sense. And everyone of course has their own philosophy for BJJ, but these are the ideas that I think have made the biggest difference.

Oh and even if you’re not a Black Belt I think you can make use of the information in the video.

Thanks for watching.

In this BJJ technique video I share a simple idea on escaping side control when someone is super tight. I’m using the lapel to help (since it’s there) but you can use this same setup in no gi jiu-jitsu as well. Just make sure the bicep is across the face.

The big thing I really wanted to stress in this side control escape video is to be mindful of where you are pushing with your frames. Many beginners use their basic frames and push right into the power of the person on top. Meaning they push towards their legs and feet which means they get absolutely no where. But if we simply change the angle we’re pushing we can get a lot more mileage from our frames and bridges.

So if you’re getting stuck in side control when your doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is helpful!

Today’s BJJ Q&A video is from Josh who’s a big guy who wants to move more like a “little” guy. I put that in air quotes because I know plenty of smaller BJJ practitioners who have great smash games. But getting back to his question he says that during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practices, his coach encourages him towards a more pressure and smash style game whereas he seems interested in a lot of open guards and other positions more commonly associated with smaller Brazilian Jiu jitsu players.

In this video I’ll explain why you want to have a big guy game and a little guy game (and how you can make that happen). I’ll also talk about why you should always keep in mind that your BJJ game is your own and you can create it however you’d like.

If you’re a big guy with a similar question I hope you enjoy the video.

Chewjitsu is one of the coolest guys in BJJ and I love hanging out and training with him.

He was in Decatur a few weeks ago for the PGF Finale and we took the opportunity to get some content put together.

This was a 2 parter, so if you wanna see the second part head over to Chewy’s channel and check it out here:

In today’s BJJ rolling video you’ll see me moving around in the gi during one of our classes. When you watch the rolling you’ll see Adam almost take my back, another student (Nick) hits a beautiful lapel sweep on me and during this time I was personally on the hunt for straight armlocks. This is 1 of my favorite types of submissions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

When you watch the rolling I’m constantly looking for any straight armlock or variation of the technique I can hit and manage to hit a couple of different variations.

I hope you enjoy the video and may it inspire you to go on the hunt for armlocks with your own Jiu-jitsu.

Today’s BJJ technique video on Single Leg X Guard comes in response to one of the request from one of the viewers and fits right into our ongoing series on Butterfly Guard. In the previous videos in the series I’ve been showing how to hit the basic Over Under sweep from Butterfly Guard. Well in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, I’m sure you’re aware, that techniques eventually fail. And when they fail you’re going to need another option to work from.

In the video I show how to get to Single X (which could go to regular X Guard too) from a failed sweep. This is actually one of my best entries into Single Leg X.

The idea is simple, when you get a decent sweep attempt you’ll have the person off balance. While off balance you use that opportunity to slide through to the Single X and then attack with a sweep or submission depending on your preference. In the video I show an effective sweep from the position.

Hope this video is useful to you!

In today’s video I answer a question from Alex (a young BJJ Blue Belt) who has some Wrestling experience about rolling with new people inside the gym. He says that recently he was rolling with a brand new guy who also had some wrestling experience. During the rolling he was very easy with the new guy because he wanted to welcome him to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Well, after the round was over the new guy seemed to think that Alex couldn’t do anything to him.

So Alex’s question to me is about whether or not he should put it on the new people in the gym or go easy.

In this video I share a couple of stories about times I took it easy on people and they mistakenly thought I couldn’t do anything to them. Then I also go into how I do things now to help people understand the level of skill that exists but also be helpful at the same time.

If you’re in a similar situation as the Blue Belt when you’re rolling with new White Belts then I hope this is helpful.

Today’s BJJ technique video is a request for a Guillotine Choke from Full Guard. This is one of the earliest submissions I learned in Brazilian Jiujitsu. As I show in the video, this particular technique set up works off of the basic Kimura Sweep / Hip Bump Sweep position.

If the sweep fails you come right back into the submission. Which is a valuable lesson in itself for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Learning to chain techniques together so that even if 1 thing fails, you can always move on to another.

Also in the video I give some key points on finishing the Guillotine Choke efficiently as well as how to change your grip and finish the Arm In Guillotine Choke should the person get their arms in the way.

If this is a move you were interested in then I hope this video helps!

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video is a little different. Recently on Instagram I was asked, “What kind of advice would you give to a young man moving into adulthood?”

I answered that question and received a lot of positive feedback from it and so I decided to make a Youtube video over the same idea. I’m posting it on Sunday so it doesn’t interrupt the normal BJJ flow of the week, since that is why you’re probably subscribed after all. 😉

That said, the video of course touches on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as it was a big reason I even took this advice to heart.

And while I could probably go on for hours giving tips to a young person about things to look for as an adult. I decided to start with something that I ignore at first, but then later on realized the true power of it. It’s a simple idea that a mentor passed on to me and so now I’m passing onto you.

There’s nothing woo woo or mystical about it, it’s simply bringing focus to something that a lot of people don’t focus on at all.

And whether it’s BJJ or life I’ve repeatedly found that the things I focus on tend to happen. The things I don’t focus on, don’t.

Hopefully the video is useful to you if you’re a younger person, or an older person looking to reshape things a bit.

Thanks for watching.

Fun BJJ story from last year. After I had just finished winning double gold at an IBJJF competition I walked off the mat to cool down and enjoy the fruits of my labor and some literal fruit (in the form of an acai bowl).

A Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt came up to me around this time and told me that he loved my channel but it was too basic and wanted me to do more advanced techniques.

As I’ll explain in the video, much of my game is fairly basic. But the way I wield the techniques is advanced. Techniques are simply weapons. And a weapon is only as powerful as the warrior who wields it.

Hope you enjoyed the chat.

In today’s video I’ll show you 5 BJJ side control positions and how I hold them and use them to setup other techniques. I think this will be helpful to anyone from White Belt to the advanced ranks. You’ll see that I prefer some positions for pinning while others work better for setting up submissions or transitioning to other positions.

In the video I show. . .
– Head and hip
– Head and arm control
– Kesa Gatame
– Reverse side control (without arm)
– Reverse side control (with arm)

These are certainly not all of the side control positions you can use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but they do make of several of the most fundamental you’ll need. And in all honesty. These make up about 90% of the side control style positions I use as a Black Belt in both competitions and hard rolling.

So if you’re looking for some help with your side control then I hope the positions in this video are helpful to you.

Hope this video is helpful to you.
