Ever have trouble holding the mount position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? It used to be a big problem for me and I know a lot of people who struggle with it. So in this video I touch on a couple of simple ideas to chew on in order to make your mount position stronger.

In the video I show a modified position that allows me to attack armlocks but it’s also good for holding the mount position itself. The reason is that by going to the position that I show in the video I disable 2 of the necessary things a person needs to escape efficiently. Frames and hip power. Without these, escaping mount is going to be difficult.

This will allow you to hold the position longer and increase your chances of getting a submission.

So I hope this video helps Brett and hopefully it helps you too!

What is the difference from White Belt to Blue Belt and Brown Belt to Black Belt. That’s the question for today’s Q&A video. It’s an interesting one too. Because each belt / level of skill seems to have a certain pattern to it.

Going from White Belt to Blue Belt is one of the biggest shifts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. You go from knowing nothing to having a foundation of knowledge. If it was a language it would be like not knowing a language to being able to speak.

Brown Belt to Black Belt is usually a bit more subtle. In my experience with BJJ people’s game at this point is set. It’s just in need of a bit of refinement and this is usually what you see at this level. Think of it as sanding out a piece of woodwork to get it a smooth finish.

Hopefully the video gives you some ideas to chew on for your own BJJ.

Have you ever wanted to make a shift to getting in shape and being a healthier person? Maybe just hit a big goal? We all have right? Well, this is is the basic question Gareth asked for the channel. He wanted to know when I made the shift to being a healthier person.

When he asked this question I really had to think a bit. But it started back in high school wrestling. And in this video I identify the multiple stages of how I lost weight, and got in better shape. This process that I illustrate in the video is also the same one I use for pretty much everything I’ve ever accomplished (that I’m proud of) in my life.

Keep in mind this is my way of doing thing. It may work for you, it may not. But give it a try and see it you find it useful.

Hopefully it’s useful to Gareth and anyone else.

In today’s BJJ video I’m going to show you a fundamental concept that EVERY guard passer should know and understand. Not some of them, all of them. This basic adjustment was huge when it came to finishing a guard pass and holding side control when I started to focus in on it.

Now it’s simple! Super simple. But understanding the idea of blocking the hip will make your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu much better in regards to holding side control and passing the guard.

Back in the day I didn’t understand this idea and I would often pass the guard and then the person on bottom of guard would immediately regain guard position.

Now you don’t need to drill this thing for hours and hours on end. Simply be mindful of it the next time you begin rolling.

So like a lot of people over the last few months, Joe and I let our diets and training slide a little bit or are just not in the shape we’d prefer. So over the next 2 months Joe and I are going to focus on getting back into better shape and take you along for the ride.

Joe is focused more on weight loss where I’d just like to adjust my composition a bit.

We’ll be doing a weekly vlog just catching you up with what we are doing. Hopefully this can be useful or inspiring for your own training.

I’ll personally be sharing workout ideas, the food I’m eating, etc etc in the hops that it’s helpful to you.

You can also check out Joe’s videos below.

See you guys next week!
