So, recently I posted a video where I was talking about the Meta in Jiu- Jitsu (Here: https://youtu.be/amAv2DVbrTs) where I answered questions from a few younger guys at ADCC Trials.

A fella commented to the video (and I’m paraphrasing here):

“Hey, love the videos, been watching you for years. I think I have to slightly disagree on you with this one. I agree that being lean, fit, and strong will help you in Jiu-Jitsu and this can be taken for granted in all Martial Arts.

If we’re looking to analyze trends in the technical game in modern Jiu-Jitsu, then that’s a different question in general. I would argue that the technical meta in martial arts, including BJJ, is niche specialization. Becoming a master of lesser-known positions and force your opponents to play where they’re really weak or inexperienced.”

I totally agree with everything this viewer says. This has been an early Idea that I’ve been talking about forever, in regard to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It’s super important to have a narrowly focused area of Jiu-Jitsu, where you’re extremely competent and maybe even master level at.

In this video I’ll talk about how some of the best guys in Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, or Wrestling who get known for a set few techniques.

Anyways, I’ll dive deep into the topic of specialization of this video and what I mean by “Meta” in this video.

Thanks for watching!

Eugine and I discuss whether or not Jiu-Jitsu has gotten better in the time we have been around.

We discuss the depth of Jiu-Jitsu competitions now, higher level leg locks, great wrestling, etc.

Overall, I feel like the quality and skill of Jiu-Jitsu athletes is a lot better than it was 20 years ago (not that it was ever bad), Whether that be a result of higher numbers, more quality comps, different types of training environments, etc.

Do you think that the quality of Jiu-Jitsu has skyrocket in the last 20 years? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Thanks for watching.

What’s up guys,

In today’s video we’re going to review some 3 basic Collar Chokes that every BJJ White Belt should know from top & bottom!

This comes in response to a German viewer named Tina, who says:

“I’m new to Jiu-Jitsu and struggle with all the names of different submissions, especially the chokes…”

She was wondering if I had a video explaining the difference between the various chokes in the Gi.

Sadly, I did not have a video explaining this, but that’s what today’s video is for!

In this video we’ll talk about the Cross-Collar choke, Loop Choke, and the Baseball Choke.

I’ll also show you some different variations of these submissions, and a simple way you can apply them from both bottom and top position.

If you train BJJ and also find yourself forgetting the names of these chokes or are just curious about a few great basic chokes in the Gi, then I hope you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video is going to be a breakdown of Mighty Mouse’s takedown that he hit at the recent Pan Am Championships in the Open Weight division.

If you guys don’t know, DJ, one of the greatest MMA fighters ever, is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt who is pretty darn good too!

Ironically enough, he actually competes mostly in the Gi! He’s not your usual MMA fighter and I think that’s what makes him so good! Anyways,

Recently I made a video saying that you should usually practice takedowns with grapplers around your same weight class, for different reasons.

Now, that said, about a day later MM goes against a huge opponent in the Open Class at gi Pans, taking him down with a slick Single Leg, and this prompted quick responses back to my previous video.

So, do I think I was wrong?

I do not, and in this video, I’ll talk about that and even break down the epic takedown that Mighty Mouse hit at Pans.

I think this Single Leg is one of the best takedowns in the Gi, and hopefully, you find it useful too.

Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from Chris who’s been training BJJ for a few years now.

He says that he has a “lazy Jiu-jitsu problem.”

When he’s fighting for takedowns, getting his guard passed, and even searching for submissions, he tends to give up before he meets too much resistance.

Essentially, he just rolls over and dies when things get tough.

He wants to be more aggressive and is wondering if I had any tips on how to develop that aggression.

In this video I’ll explain how Chris doesn’t have a lazy Jiu-Jitsu problem, he’s not lazy. He’s training, exhausted, etc. However, what’s going on (probably) is that Chris, like many people for whatever reason, has not been taught to fight through positions.

This is something that has to be trained with your coach, or something you can train yourself.

I’ll give a few examples to help with the problem, even comparing a few values from sports Wrestling that can help you with Chris’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu problem.

Hopefully you found this video helpful, especially if you are struggling with a similar problem to Chris.

Thanks for watching.
