Today’s video comes as an answer to a recent question from a follower, and fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner, named Steve.

Steve’s question to me is whether or not I believe you should go to a low Mount or if you should get to a high Mount which is very common and very effective in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

His question is focused on which mounted BJJ position, would be more effective in a Street fight situation, against an untrained person. So in the video I share some ideas on how to use mount in a Hand-to-hand fighting situation on DUH STREETZ. And I share why I really like low mount vs an untrained person.

Today we have a question from a 1-Stripe White Belt, who we will call Bob.

He is a former Wrestler who got into BJJ, and he was pretty good at it, and the other day he was rolling with a blackbelt in the room.

Well, he tells me that he is pretty competitive, and during the roll, at some point, he got a little rough with the black belt.

Well, the black belt didn’t like that and decided he was going to put it on Bob. The Black Belt wasn’t a jerk about it after the roll and even told Bob that this was basically a teachable moment and they moved on.

Bob felt really sorry after the roll, not meaning to roll too rough with anyone, including the Black Belt…

But, after some thought, Bob got pretty upset about the way the Black Belt handled things, seeing as he wasn’t trying to be disrespectful.

Bob wants to know if I think he’s being unreasonable and how I interpret situations like this in BJJ.

These are the first two videos of the Shotgun Ankle Lock mini-course we just added to the Cutting Edge Leglocks instructional at https://www.grapplearts.com/cutting-edge-leglocks/ available in online streaming, DVD and app-based formats. The Shotgun Ankle Lock is a subtle adjustment to the ankle lock position, but from personal experience, I swear that if you get it right your opponent’s foot will feel like it’s about to explode and he’ll tap instantly!

Today we have a BJJ question from a fellow Black Belt Coach, Bob, who is having trouble with one of his friends who also happens to be a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Bob says that his buddy, the fellow black belt from another gym, is coming to train with him. Which he is happy about. However, his friend keeps showing up 45 minutes late to the classes he attends.

He interprets these late appearances as a form of laziness on his friend’s behalf, or maybe he just doesn’t want to do warmups. And he believes he does it because he’s a Black Belt and feels like he can do it. Regardless, he’s not sure what’s up.

At Bob’s gym, attendance is pretty strict, and he wants to know how I’d handle a situation where a someone is chronically late to classes and if I have ever faced a similar situation, and if so, how I dealt with it.

In the video I’ll explain what I think and give you some ideas on BJJ warmups too.

One of the most common messages I get from you guys, specifically the newer grapplers, is about something in the realm of White Belts having trouble with Side Control escapes.

Regardless of your prior grappling experience, White Belts of all backgrounds tend to struggle pretty often escaping side control and just feel stuck.

The tip that I am going to share with you in this video works for side control, mount, or any defensive position, but can be really useful for side control specifically.

This technique/idea made escaping side control way easier for me, and hopefully for you newer white belts watching, or anyone else, it can also be a useful idea that’ll help your game too.

Recently a subscriber of the channel, we will call him Bob, who has been training for over a year, messaged me to tell me about a crummy experience he had with a co-worker who he invited to the gym to start training BJJ.

Well, a few classes in, Bob’s coworker & Bob finally rolled.

In the Roll Bob takes it easy, even allowing his friend to submit him when they rolled. The issue began after the roll when Bob’s co-worker says “Hah, you couldn’t even get me.” This being said after their light roll (where Bob was just playing).

Well to make it worse, a few days later at their place of work, the co-worker also boasted about the roll against Bob & the Head Instructor; embarrassing Bob and leaving him frustrated about what to do next.

This obviously rubbed Bob the wrong way and he is wondering if he should: confront his co-worker directly about the issue, have a talk with the coach, let it go, or if I had any other ways to resolve the problem in mind…

The omoplata from closed guard is one of the first setups you should master if you’re starting to add omoplata attacks to your game. From https://www.grapplears.com/omoplata, Omoplata 2.0 by
Stephan Kesting and Grapplearts.

Today’s question comes from a Karate Black Belt who trained in that martial art for 30 years. He’s now getting into BJJ.

He has a couple of questions about his experiences in Karate and their carry over to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. So in this video I answer his questions about transitioning into BJJ.

Thanks for watching the video!

In today’s video I answer a recent question about breaking the closed guard in BJJ (Gi or No-GI), WITHOUT getting swept in the process.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the Closed Guard is one of the most dangerous positions to be stuck in. It’s also a great position for your opponent to sweep or submit you if you’re not careful.

Therefore, it’s important to try and approach it with caution and technique when breaking it.

This Guard Break is both beginner friendly and extremely effective (in my experience) and hopefully a useful idea for you to practice next time you’re in training.

I hope this helps.
