Great Deadlift Variation for BJJ (Easier on Lower Back)

by Leave a Comment  

I figured it was about time to start doing some weight training for BJJ videos.

In this video I share one of the deadlift variations I really like. It’s the Hex Bar Deadlift sometimes called a Trap Bar Deadlift.

There are a few reasons I like this weight lifting exercises for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu players.

1. It’s a great lift for the whole body!

2. Requires less technical skill than a squat or conventional deadlift. (great for new lifters)

3. Easier on the lower back than a Deadlift or a Squat.

4. Helps facilitate good hip extension which is an area BJJ practitioners lack.

5. It’s also a very natural movement. Many BJJ practitioners suffer from muscular imbalances and have trouble squatting and deadlifting with good form. Because of the natural movement of the Hex Bar Deadlift. It’s a great option in an easier movement pattern.

I’ve personally grown to love this lift. Years ago, I wasn’t really a fan. But as I began to play around with it. I noticed the utility for me as a Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner.

Mainly, I could hit my legs and work my lower body without the fatigue that would often be caused by squats or traditional deadlifts.

I also noticed that these feel much more comfortable and I recover a bit faster from them.

If you’re looking for a good exercise to boost your BJJ. It’s a smart idea to strengthen the lower body. And this is a great exercise to work into the mix.

Lost a BJJ Match I Should Have Won (Painful Mistake)

by Leave a Comment  

Have you ever lost a BJJ match that you feel like you should have won?

You may not agree with that mindset or outlook. But many competitors have been there before.

The question today comes from a BJJ Blue Belt who recently lost a match that he felt he was capable of winning.

He says he felt like he should have won because he was more experienced than the other person and several of his other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teammates had defeated him as well.

Now this is a problem in itself. But the bigger issue for our friend Nathan is that he has a big BJJ competition coming up and needs help bouncing back from this loss.

In this video I discuss getting over a bad tournament performance so that you can bounce back to winning.

The biggest problem I see is that our friend was working the competition before his match and wasn’t able to properly prepare to compete.

If you’re in a similar situation. I hope the video is useful.

Why BJJ Competitions Can Slow Your BJJ Learning

by Leave a Comment  

Can competitions hurt your overall learning in BJJ? Can being in the competitive focused mindset hinder your ability to take on new techniques and add them to your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?

This is the question I received from Mike who’s a BJJ White Belt.

He said he’s preparing for his 1st BJJ competition and he’s wondering if getting into the more competitive mindset will hurt his BJJ learning.

In this video I 1st touch on what happens when you get into a competitive mindset vs a more relaxed mindset. And how it changes the way we learn and take in information.

Then I talk about how this will affect our BJJ training and learning.

The last section of the video I talk about how you need a little bit of both. And how each mindset or approach has it’s own benefits.

You need to be able to train and be relaxed. But you also need the ability to be sharp with your techniques.

If you’ve ever wondered the same thing or if you find yourself suffering from not being competitive enough or not being relaxed enough during BJJ training then I hope the video is useful to you!

Talk to you guys next time.

This is a Devastating Position for BJJ and MMA

by Leave a Comment  

What’s the most dominant position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? In my humble opinion. I think it’s Back Mount.

Even more so I think the most dominant variation of Back Mount is when we have the person flattened out on their belly with our hooks in.

In a fight the person is literally helpless. And in BJJ whether it’s training in the gym or competitions we can attack aggressively for the choke.

In this video I answer a question for Mckenzie who is having trouble finishing from the Belly down back mount.

I show 2 different ways to approach finishing from this devastating position.

With both positions I show how to finish the rear choke. But I also talk about how the position could be used for a fight or match.

If you’re having a similar problem with your Back Mount in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Particularly when you find yourself in the belly down position. Then I hope the video is helpful!

Talk to you guys next time.

Aggressively Use BJJ Submissions WITHOUT Hurting Your Partners

by Leave a Comment  

How do you balance aggression with caution to keep your partners safe? What I mean is, how do you go for it, but make sure your BJJ training partner doesn’t get hurt?

This is the question I got from our White Belt friend. He got into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because he feels like he is a push over. And so he is wanting to the develop the ability to be aggressive and physically confident.

But during his BJJ training he gets nervous about finishing the submission. He’s worried he’s going to overdo it and cause his partner to get injured.

In this video I share a simple method that most of us do naturally. But with some conscious effort. You can speed the process up a bit.

Basically you’re going to increase your ability to “feel” the movement by being more focused on it during drilling in your classes.

Meaning, when you go into your classes and during drilling. You want to take time to really focus on the feeling of the submission at it’s end range.

This way when you are rolling. You can be super aggressive and go hard during the roll. But at the point where you’re applying the armbar, choke or leg lock you can cut off the gas.

This will keep your training partners safe without during the Brazilian Jiujitsu without losing your aggression.
