Do you have trouble of balancing BJJ with weight training or maybe you’d like some information about lifting weights in relation to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This is a little different than the normal technique or Chewy Ramble video.

But I think it can be really helpful to those of you who are new to Brazilian Jiujitsu and weight training.

The video came about because of a conversation Ethan and I had at the pool when we talked a bit about weight training.

And as someone who talks about lifting weights all the time. I get a lot of questions about it related to BJJ training.

And Ethan, who I jokingly call a meathead (I mean that in the most endearing way possible), has a lot of information about lifting weights, doing BJJ (he’s a brown belt) and being over the age of 40.

So enjoy the talk and I hope you get a few helpful nuggets of information from it!

The sufboard pass is one of my favorite BJJ guard passes. It’s a really simple movement. Almost like a technical standup going forward.

The Surf board pass can be unexpected sometimes and it even looks cool. But again, it’s not a complicated move to use. Just requires some drilling to nail down the timing.

In this video I work with a friend I met down in Costa Rica.

I met him and his brother last year during our Pura Vida Brazilian Jiu-jitsu retreat. And they were able to train with us again this year.

During our roll I hit the surfboard pass on him and he asked to see some of the details.

And in the mood of sharing. I figured I’d share some of the details with you guys.

So if you’d like to work on the surfboard pass in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Then enjoy the video and hopefully, even though it’s short, you’ll get a couple of useful nuggets of information to make it more effective.

Yesterday I received a question from our friend who says he lacks the motivation to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu some nights.

He says that a lot of times after a long day of work he struggles to get the energy together to workout and he’s wondering what I do to keep myself motivated.

In the video I share that I’ve never really needed motivation to workout. Whether it’s Brazilian Jiujitsu or lifting. I’ve never required motivation to train.

And this is because it makes me feel so good, and I don’t need to be motivated to feel good.

We do all sorts of things in our life that make us feel good. Eat, sleep, take pills, etc. And it requires little motivation most of the time to do them.

With exercise it’s no different. It makes me feel amazing after I’m done.

Even if I have a terrible training session or feel weaker than normal. I always feel good after the training is over.

I also share some details about a cool book I’m reading right now that explains all the chemicals that release in the brain and the physiological responses associated with exercise.

I mention the book in the video and you can check it out here.

If you’re struggling with motivation. Discipline is helpful. But enjoying what you’re doing and knowing that it’s going to make you feel better is always helpful.

Talk to you next time.

If you know me or have watched me roll. Then you know I LOVE Butterfly Guard. It’s one of my best positions.

Now I love Butterfly Guard for a lot of reasons.

I love that it’s great even if you can’t use a Full Guard super well. It’s great for sweeping. And it’s also a great place to transition to other forms of Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In this video I show how to use Butterfly Guard to transition into an X Guard or Single X Guard / Ashi Garami position.

In the video I touch on the basic idea that when we want to lift someone from a bottom position in Brazilian Jiujitsu. We need to get under their hips.

When you watch the technique shown in the video pay close attention to how I move under Chad.

Once in X Guard or Single X you can attack leg locks, sweeps or other submissions.

Give it a try!
