Have your ever rolled with someone outside of a traditional Brazilian Jiu-jitsu background?

Maybe someone who has done MMA, Sambo, Wrestling, Judo, etc?

If so then you know that they grapple a little different

A different sort of cadence or style of rolling.

I found this out during my White-Purple Belt days where I began to be introduced to MMA training and would roll with people who only learned grappling through MMA.

In many cases I would get caught with submissions even through my knowledge of grappling and Brazilian Jiujitsu was superior.

Because their style and rhythm of grappling was different than mine, I had to adjust. Because where BJJ players typically fight more for position, they would just go crazy for submissions.

And I believe this is partly due to the fact that when you use grappling in and MMA situation. You have to have a sense of urgency with your techniques.

In today’s video I discuss this idea in response to our friends question who is struggling with a situation at an open mat where he feels a bit taken back by the people inside the gym.

If you’re ever grappling with someone outside of a traditional BJJ gym, then I hope this video is useful for you!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

This video is based off of one of my recent Instagram posts which was inspired by my experiences in my own life. Both on the mat and off the mat.

I can’t tell you how many times in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Wrestling or in other aspects of my life where this message rang true.

I believe this is the way it is for most of us. We’re our own biggest enemy.

There’s so much brilliance inside of us but we can only realize it when we get out of our own way and make it happen.

Here’s the original post:
There’s a special moment of relief at the end of a training session or competition.

As your coach gathers everyone together for one last huddle to finish class, or the ref raises the hand of the victor.

You realize. . . the struggle is over. You did what you set out to do and the white flag of your enemy has been raised.

But the enemy is not your opponent at the competition or your training partners. . . It’s yourself.

A battle had been waged and won that day, an internal siege had been lifted. As the army of your own anxiety, harsh judgments and laziness was beaten back.

Defeated were the thoughts of skipping training, sitting out another round or avoiding the upcoming competition because deep down you were afraid you’re not good enough.

Regardless of the outcome of that days training or competition. What matters is you conquered yourself.

And tomorrow the forces of your own shadow will reappear. As they do everyday. Ready for another battle and looking for a weakness in you.

But where there is a shadow there is a light.

And that light comes from the strength, intelligence and intensity inside you.

Embrace the suck, take joy in these daily battles, whether on or off the mat.

Because everyday you choose to follow your heart and take action is a day the enemy inside you becomes a little weaker, your light a little bigger. . . your shadow a little smaller.

I hope you guys enjoy the video!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, there is typically a grip needed to finish a technique. Whether this is a Choke, Armlock or whatever.

Oftentimes I find that if I’m very focused on getting that finishing grip quickly, my success with the technique shoots up dramatically.

For instance if I’m doing a choke.

If I get what I call the “Kill grip” I’m usually able to finish the technique.

When I say “Kill Grip” I’m speaking about the the grip that’s essential to finishing the technique I’m looking for.

In this video I answer a question from Max who says he’s having people tuck their necks and defend his submission attempts with chokes during BJJ training.

So in this video I discuss the getting the best grip quickly for whatever technique you’re looking for during rolling or competitions.

The big focus with chokes is to get the deepest grips in the collar or around the neck possible. This way the person doesn’t have a chance to stop the submission.

I hope the video is helpful with your Brazilian Jiujitsu training or competitions.

In this video my buddy Joe and I got a lift in on a Monday morning.

Here’s Joe’s Youtube if you want to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/user/Unriavledfitness

Before the lift started I threw up a story on Instagram and asked for questions regarding weight training for BJJ.

If you have no muscle, is it better to do low reps high weight or high weight low reps in the beginning?

Do you do any grip strength training for no gi?

How should you split of weight training , BJJ and possibly muay thai training?

You’ll also notice that I am not going incredibly heavy. And honestly this is mostly the case with my lifting. I rarely go SUPER heavy in the gym.

As I’ve figured out over the years. Only so much of that is going to find it’s way to the way to the mats when I’m doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Along with all of this you’ll hear us talk about whatever we are planning to talk about. As well as a few nuggets of information about strength training in relation to BJJ.

Talk to you guys next time!

BJJ, Boxing, Judo, Sambo, Wrestling and all of the Combat Sports commonly used in MMA are incredible for creating inner discipline.

But not in a direct way. Rather, it’s often in an indirect way.

During the stress of hard training you’re often faced with the darker sides of your personality. The sides of your personality that often don’t show up in a day to day basis.

For instance if you get angry. You will learn in hard training session that you cannot train with anger. And so when the angry side of your self pops up you have to control it.

In the video I talk about how when I started Boxing. My EGO was a big problem for me. And through the hard sparring sessions I had to learn to be in better mental control.

This video is a response to the question asked by our friend who was in a Street Fight situation. During which he grappler the person but did not throw any punches.

After the fight he said he felt kind of “soft” because he didn’t throw any punches.

In this video I talk about the control we learn from combat sports and how it’s useful for making stronger both physically as well as mentally. After all the aim is self-defense. To defend yourself, not to harm people for no reason.

I hope you find the video helpful!

This video is not meant to show you every technique to use against a wrestler. There are too many to count. I wanted to give you an idea of some things you could do. I use to suck at shooting in so instead I would counter wrestle. I was able to do this by doing wrestling classes.

I believe it is very important for every jiujitsu practitioner to take some wrestling classes. If you want to beat a wrestler you have to go train against wrestlers and learn their movements. I could show you a million techniques but it will not matter until you practice live wrestling over and over.

I will put some more videos of how to negate wrestlers up soon this is just the first of the series and the reversal that I started out with and had a lot of success with. Note on this technique “the switch” it’s okay to fall to your but you can still hit it from a seated position.

Once you get the switch down you will see it come into play a lot actually. Like I said it has been one of my favorites forever because my arms are so long it makes it easy to get the grip I need.

P.S. no liabilities

In 2007 I came to Derby City MMA. I left my previous BJJ gym and began training here.

When I started training here I met this young kid named Chad. I didn’t know it at the time but he would radically change my life.

Initially he was a young kid growing up in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym. Training and competing constantly.

But he quickly grew into a young man that was possessed with gifts that many of us wish we had. Both as a competitor and practitioner and as a teacher.

During our time training together we sharpened each other’s abilities. And on top of that. I learned a lot about myself.

While doing my best to try and help Chad along his own path I learned so much about myself.

This isn’t goodbye as we will see him often enough. But it is definitely a new period. For myself as a coach and for Chad as a man carving his own path in the world.

I love my “little brother” that I promoted 2 years ago. But I’m happy he’s growing. On and off the mats.

He’s taking his own call to adventure. Finding his own path in his life.

You can follow Chad at:

You can watch this podcast to see why Chad is leaving:

The shotgun armbar is very sneaky. It will blow you away because it a shotgun…. haha lame joke. But anyways! I’ve been working on this armbar for a few years now and I’m starting to love it more than the traditional armbar.

You can catch people off guard very easily and it allows you to make different transitions even if you don’t get the armbar. You still end up with a tap or a sweep. So it is a win win for you.

It’s a fairly simple technique as well so it can be added to your arsenal in no time. you just have to get the initial opening your guard and stretching them out part down than you’re good to go.

Here is a video of me using the same grip for another armbar in a tournament

One of my favorite positions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is X Guard and Single X Guard.

It ties right along with my Half Guard too which I consider my best position.

In this video I answer a question from out friend who is wanting to look at some entries into X Guard.

And before I get into the X Guard position itself. I want to stress the importance of Entries for our BJJ games.

Oftentimes people look for the cool sweeps, guard passes, submissions, etc but then they forget about the entries to get there.

Consider entries the starting point for any position or set of techniques in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Now in this video I show a simple way to get to X Guard from a Half Butterfly Guard.

I use this a lot if I’m struggling to get the Half Guard working for me on bottom.

Give the entry a try and see how it works for you!

A lot of newcomers to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu get really worried about weight classes in BJJ tournaments.

In this video I answer a question from a viewer who is looking to gain a little muscle and weight.

He says that years ago he felt great being bigger and stronger. And his girlfriend even enjoys him being a bit bigger.

But his worry is about going into a heavier weight class when he enters Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions.

And he is wondering if his added strength will offset the size difference when he finds himself in BJJ competitions.

During the video I try to share the idea that you don’t always roll with people of the same weight class in the gym.

And if you feel healthier and more vibrant from the weight training. Then it’s only going to be a positive thing in your life.

If you’re in a similar situation or if you’re thinking about gaining weight for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is helpful.
