In my BJJ Half Guard series I cover my exact Half Guard techniques.

These techniques came originally from Renato Tavares, one of my old coaches, who showed me 3 simple techniques.

Those 3 techniques grew into a whole series of attacks, positional controls, counters. A whole system.

This exchange from one to the other reminds me of the Heros Journey that Joseph Campbell writes about.

He talks about the Hero going out and getting the thing and then bringing it back to share.

And in BJJ, we are all the hero of our own journey, and we do just that. We go out, learn techniques, develop them and then bring them back around to the people behind us.

And if you’d like to develop your own Half Guard. Check out my Half Guard series: https://chewjitsu.clickfunnels.com/chewjitsu-half-guard-series

Black-Belt/Adult/Female/Heavy – Final

This Brabo Choke is a fantastic option from the Full Guard in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The Brabo Grip itself is excellent for posture and Full Guard control. And it leads to numerous sweeps and submissions.

I often show the Brabo grip early on to my White Belts because it’s strength can often be helpful for a newcomer to BJJ who wouldn’t mind a little added control.

In this video I’m not going off a viewer request. Instead, I wanted to simply show you a nice Brazilian Jiujitsu technique that might be useful for your game.

As you’ll see in the video. I show the basics of how to open up the Gi to achieve the grip. Then discuss how to setup the choke or use it for positional dominance.

I hope that the technique helps you with your Full Guard submission game in BJJ.

We’re on this subject because Chad is leaving to move down to Tennessee.

We also share some stories about the No Gi Pans, competing and even the nerdy way I keep my journals.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Quarterfinal

This is a way to open the closed guard effective at the top level and also very low risk.

Have you ever not received credit for something when you felt like you should have? Perhaps you helped someone but then never received any recognition.

That’s what’s going on in today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu video.

Our friend Jay who is a 4 stripe Blue Belt has taken upon himself to help out one of the White Belts in his gym with a Baseball Choke technique he’s developed.

And it worked! The BJJ White Belt took the technique and has been able to hit it several times in tournaments and in training. So much so, that this White Belt has become synonymous with this choke.

The only problem is that he has never given Jay any credit for the help.

Jay knows that he shouldn’t feel upset about this. But he says he’s found that it frustrates him.

In this video I draw some parallels to how I felt as a young Brazilian Jiujitsu coach and Jay’s situation.

And I talk about not giving people help in any situation on a conditional basis if you’re really trying to help them.

I also discuss how to turn this negative situation on the mats into a positive by channeling the negative energy into a positive by teaching more people.

But the biggest idea I try to share in this video is that if you take on the role of a teacher or coach in Brazilian Jiujitsu. You need to take joy out of teaching someone. Not getting recognition for it. Finding joy in someone else’s success.

Have you ever had to leave your BJJ gym? Whether because of a falling out with the coach or a gym closing, like in today’s video, it’s a tough situation.

Years ago I was forced to leave my original Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym and I’ve had a number of students who have come to me from another gym.

And our friend Em is in a situation where she is leaving her BJJ gym because her coach is closing the gym down.

Her biggest worry is that now she’ll have to find a new BJJ family and it won’t be the same as the original.

And in this video I share some of the situations and how to deal with the changing of BJJ gyms.

I share some personal stories that happened with some of my Brown and Black Belts and how things worked out better in the end.

If you’re in a similar situation where you’re changing BJJ schools. I hope the video is helpful!

To check out Kyles gym in St Louis, visit:

Home

While in St Louis training. I wanted to make sure that I took you through a tour of Kyle Watson’s gym. It’s an absolutely beautiful Mixed Martial Arts training facility in mid town are of St Louis.

I had the chance to train there months ago and made it back for some training recently. And the 1st thing I noticed about the place on the 1st visit was how nice the place was.

They also have a ton of space for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu rolling.

If you don’t know who Kyle is. He’s a UFC veteran and a skilled Brazilian Jiujitsu Black Belt. He’s still an active competitor and a full time gym owner.

He’s also a great guy and his gym has a fantastic vibe. The training is tough as it should be. But it’s in a fun uplifting manner.

Enjoy the video. And if you’re ever in the area. I cannot recommed Kyle’s gym enough.

It’s full of amazing people and great BJJ instruction.
