In this video I share a cautionary tale about talking during rolling from when I was a BJJ White Belt. I share the story from my Brazilian Jiujitsu training because I received a question about talking during rolling. I know this will not be the most groundbreaking question and answer video I’ve ever done, but I do have a fun story to share with it and I hope you enjoy the video.

When it comes to talking during Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, it’s going to happen. Part of the reason why so many of us stick to Jiu-jitsu is the bonding that happens on the mat. We are in a place where we train and exercises. But it’s also a place where we get to know each other in person, not digitally, and become friends.

I know that one of the reason I’ve continued to train for so long is 100% the community of people inside the gym.

With that said, ever gym is different. In my gym we talk shit to each other constantly in a fun and laughing way. Some gyms don’t do this. So ultimately look to the leaders of your gym to figure out what is acceptable.

But I hope you find the story entertaining and enjoy the video. And if you have a question about talking during BJJ training then I hope it’s useful to you!

Thanks for watching!

Half Guard is one of my favorite Brazilian Jiujitsu positions to play from on the bottom. I love the ability to get sweeps even against bigger stronger opponents. But one of the most frustrating problems with Half Guard (at least early on) is getting flattened out on your back when someone is passing.

When you’re flat on your back you Half Guard is useless and is more of an offensive position for the BJJ practitioner on top.

In this video I’ll show some basic grip fighting options that will prevent your Half Guard from being wrecked in BJJ. Along with the grips I’ll also show you how to go with the power to escape a strong squeeze on top when you’re flat in Half Guard.

If you’re struggling with Half Guard in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because you get stuck flat on your back then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video!

Tristan was fresh off of his underdog win against Michel Pereira at UFC Fight Night in Vancouver when he came into the studio to record an episode of The Strenuous Life Podcast with me (coming soon). I got him to share one of favorite guillotine choke setups with me, and MAN, was it TIGHT!!! Enjoy.

Have you ever dealt with a big strong spazzy White Belt in BJJ, or have you ever been called a spaz? If you struggle with this situation in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu whether you’re the spaz or you’re the person frustrated with a spaz in your gym, I hope this video is helpful with your training.

In the video I start off by talking about my own spazzy beginning in Brazilian Jiujitsu as I was probably the most reckless, explosive and wild roll in my gym, and probably the craziest I’ve ever seen.

I also talk about how as a coach I’ve ever become frustrated with spazzy new people in the gym.

With that in place I talk about how I deal with spaz type people during BJJ training and why you should learn to use your skill against someone like this. It’s an important test to how your techniques work against an untrained person. I also talk about how I overcame my ultra-intense beginnings to get a handle on my wild rolling.

I hope that for all the Spazzy types and people frustrated with them that the video will give you some useful perspectives on how to handle the situation.

Thanks for watching the video!

In this video I’m going to show you 4 different ways to roll to improve your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu if you’re not interested in drilling your techniques. I did this video because many people want to improve their BJJ techniques but they don’t engage in any sort of specific deliberate training.

So in the video I explain how I found the idea of deliberate training back when I was a Brown Belt which had a big impact on the way I trained myself and my students.

Here’s the book I talked about:
Talent Is Overrated: https://amzn.to/2MG4Kck

4 Types Of Rolling Deliberately

1. Rolling With A Purpose
This first idea is simply to focus on hitting a specific technique to work on while rolling.

2. Positional Rolling
This is keeping the rolling into a specific position you’re trying to improve like me trying to pass my partners guard while my partner tries to sweep or submit me from bottom.

3. Rolling From The Weak Side
If you’re good at a position or technique. Try doing the same thing from the weak side.

4. Mimic Rolling
To improve against certain types of people you might have your training partner mimic a particular style.

I hope this video is helpful by giving you some ideas to use for your BJJ training.

Thanks for watching!

How to make the armbar from guard much more powerful by systematically disrupting your opponent’s base, posture and structure. From The Submission Formula by Rob Biernacii and Stephan Kesting, available at https://www.grapplearts.com/submissionformula

Here’s a video showing a BJJ lesson I really didn’t figure out until I was a Brown Belt in Jiu-jitsu. It’s a lesson concerning frames, being patient and escaping from bad positions more effectively. These are ides everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu has been told about from day 1 as a White Belt but I never really quite understood them until later.

As a Brown Belt in BJJ there was a point where I was injured and couldn’t train full speed. But I REALLY wanted to be on the mat. As I’ll explain in the video I did some modified BJJ training where I would roll but spent a lot of time just surviving. During this time I really began to understand patience and being concerned with frames and grips from bad positions.

A lot of times in offensive positions we focus on how to setup grips and be methodical. Whereas when it comes to bad positions you might forget the grips and just push in weird places because you panic and don’t want to be submitted.

So in this video if you struggle in bad positions (I.E Bottom of side control, bottom of mount or someone has back mount on you) then I hope this video is useful to you in your able to both survive and eventually escape.

Thanks for watching!
