Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Final
The X Guard position in BJJ is well known for it’s sweeping ability and transitional quality. Meaning that it can link up to several other positions quickly.
A while ago I posted a video where I showed a Oma Plata from the X Guard. In the comments of that video I saw someone say that they were unaware of the fact that you could use X Guard for submissions.
Again, he said that he always thought of the position as a sweeping guard instead of the ability to submit.
In this video I show another submission setup off of a sweep from X Guard.
It’s a simple idea.
It’s a Kick Back sweep from X Guard that lands the person onto their side where we can slide right into a straight ankle lock.
The position we transition to is often called Ashi Garami but I’ve heard other names for it. Call it whatever you like, it’s a nice addition to the end of your sweep.
I also touch on the idea of using the straight ankle lock / ashi garami in IBJJF. It’s a legal position but you definitely have to be careful for the reasons I state in the video.
Hope the video is helpful to you!

Got a question about loyalty to a BJJ gym.
Today’s question is from Ethan who is getting ready to start training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he is wondering if he should should at only 1 gym or if he can train at multiple gyms.
In this video I approach the question from the angle of the fact that the relationship you have with your coach is similar to any relationship. Yes there is a monetary element there. But at the same time, we often become close to our coaches as teachers, mentors, etc.
I know that for me. My BJJ coaches have helped me in far more ways than just my Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling or competitions.
And as a coach I hope to do the same for my students. But I can tell you that if I saw someone who was 1 foot in 1 foot out of the gym. I wouldn’t go out of way to bring them into my fold.
Because just like a relationship with a significant other or maybe a friend. If you don’t feel like they are “all in” then you’re probably not going to be either.
So if you’re in a situation like this. I would ultimately try out both gyms then settle on 1 to be your home gym. I mean you can still train elsewhere here and there. But it’s your home base. And it allows you to grow roots with people and have relationships that benefit you far beyond just BJJ training.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Ultra-Heavy – Final
One of the toughest question for a BJJ coach to answer when asked by a student is, “What do I need to work on?”
This seems like it should be an easy question for them to answer. A high level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner often has hundreds and thousands of techniques stored away in their body ready to dispense.
And this lies the problem. Too vague a question and too many options to choose from.
If you brought your car to the shop and told the mechanic, “Hey can you fix my car?” but you never identifies what was wrong with it he’s going to have some trouble.
But if you come in and say, “Can you fix my car, the brakes are making a loud noise when I use them.”
The mechanic can immediately look to find the issue.
And your Brazilian Jiujitsu coach isn’t different in this sense. They need some specific problems or questions to be of the most use to you.
And so if you want to get better at grappling and you want to approach your BJJ coach with a question.
First you need to put some thought into your game to figure out what you’d like to ask.
With a more specific question your BJJ instructor can be more specific with their answer rather than give you the ole, “Keep training.”
I hope this helps if you had a situation like this.
