Is getting a promotion in BJJ simply about winning competitions and medals? I don’t think so, but belts are also very subjective.

In this video we have a question from a BJJ Blue Belt who has a strong wrestling background as he’s been doing it since he was 11.

Since transitioning to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he’s found that he’s been very effective in BJJ competitions. Medaling or winning every single tournament he’s done.

As a Blue Belt he’s continued this winning streak and recently when his coach began to give out promotions he was for sure that he would get promoted.

But he didn’t get promoted and he’s not sure what gives.

In this video I explain how I think a big part of his promotion, or lack thereof, is based upon his reluctance to play Guard or from any bottom positions in BJJ.

As a coach, I think it’s imperative that every person have the ability to play off their back. It’s one of the defining characteristics of Brazilian Jiujitsu. But it’s also something very unnatural to people from a wrestling background.

So if you’re a wrestler or someone resistant to the bottom game in BJJ, either during rolling or competition. Then I hope this video is useful to you!

Slick Deep Half Counter that I originally saw from @billthegrillcooper on his Deep Half Guard Killer set. I’m using a different grip here. We call this the Pretzel Grip ? It’s a great way to create the Marcelotine style attack without the flexibility sometimes required through the shoulder. Hope you guys enjoy this. Thanks to @consciouskeelan for the ? and @kiaya.j for being a good training partner.

In this video I show a simple way to use the Ankle Pick in BJJ to counter stiff arm grips with the gi.

If you’ve ever been in the middle of a good match then you know the grips can get really frustrating to deal with.

In this video I answer a question from our friend who says that when he rolls from the feet his opponent’s are just using a straight stiff arm to keep away. It makes his ability to do takedowns difficult.

His question goes on to ask about how to do an ankle pick using the kimono in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

So in this video I share one of my favorite ankle pick variations.

Keep in mind there are a ton of variations to the ankle pick. And when you add the gi into the mix there are even more!

But this simple variation is a good way to counter the grips we discuss in the video.

So whether it’s for your BJJ training in the gym or the opening move of your upcoming BJJ competition. I hope this technique serves you and your takedown game well!
