Frustrated Higher Belts Are Upset with This Tough Blue Belt

by Leave a Comment  

Being a BJJ Blue Belt who can submit Purples , Browns and higher belts in the gym and competitions is a great thing right?

Yes, but it does come with some potential issues.

Recently I got a message from a young Blue Belt who is struggling when he visits other BJJ gyms while traveling.

This is because when he goes to these Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms he’s able to submit or outmaneuver many of the higher belts on the mat. Especially when in No Gi.

Again, this should be a good thing. But he finds that many of the people inside these gyms take offense to it.

They will get angry at him for beating them.

This isn’t right, and people shouldn’t take it so harshly. But it is what it is.

When dealing with people’s egos and the pecking order of their BJJ gym. People have a tendency to get up in arms and upset at times.

I’m better about this now. But I was guilty of this kind of stuff at one time in my life. So we can choose to point the finger if we want. But I don’t find that very helpful.

Instead, in this video, instead of condemning the people that our friend is rolling with. I try to give him some practical advice about feeling out the people he’s rolling with, before he kicks up the intensity.

I share this by touching on two separate situations. 1 was with my poor mindset as a young BJJ Blue Belt.

The second was how I approach going to gyms when I visit now.

Hopefully if you ever get into a situation like this in your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training this video will be helpful to you.

Thanks for watching!

Chasing Back Mount with Double Under Passes (BJJ Rolling Session)

by Leave a Comment  

This is a video of some of the highlights of a BJJ open rolling session we did last year at my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville, KY.

My buddy and teammate Joe Baize, plus a few others, stopped by and we got some killer rolling!

Add to the fact that the heat was out and it made for a hot, sweaty, BJJ training session.

The 1st few rolls were slow and more flow like to get warmed up. And then we progressively worked our way into harder and harder rounds.

During the training you’ll see me play with legs a couple of times with Joe and immediately get submitted.

I jokingly call him a leg sorcerer. His leg game is incredible and I knew that being there means it’s only a matter of time before I get submitted. But I wanted to play there a bit.

During the session you’ll also notice the use of the Double Under Pass from me. This is to negate the leg game and Chad’s triangle game. And then immediately chase the back.

During the video you’ll see again and again that my game plan is to get around to back mount somehow and secure the choke. For me, it’s my best finishing position so that’s where I’m always shooting for.

I hope you enjoyed the video and maybe found something useful to takeaway for your own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Training.

Also, it’s worth noting. We are going pretty hard in this video. But at all times we’re smiling at one another. I think this is super important. Train hard with your partners in Brazilian Jiujitsu. But always keep a good attitude and a friendly demeanor.

As my buddy Tony would say, Smash and Smile. 🙂

Helpful Stretches for Recovery After Brazilian Jiujitsu Training

by Leave a Comment  

Stretching post Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training is something that many people know would benefit them. But a lot of times they don’t know what to do.

I’ve received a lot of questions from people in BJJ asking me what I personally do for cool down stretches.

So in this video I take you through some of my favorite cool down stretches after a workout in Bjj.

I’m not a PT or a anything like that. But I’ve felt a massive difference since I started doing these.

The big focus in this video is to work on loosening up the hips, thoracic spine, pecs. These are my problem areas.

A lot of people in Brazilian Jiujitsu complain about lower back issues. But I’ve found the tightening of my hip flexors have been the big issue. And as I loosen them up more and more. I have less lower back stiffness.

So if you’re someone looking for some stretches to do to benefit your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. I hope this series of stretching and foam rolling techniques is helpful!

Try using these basic yoga / wall stretches for Brazilian Jiujitsu immediately after training or after a shower before you go to bed.

Let’s Get Ugly from Mount with this Powerful BJJ Shoulder Lock

by Leave a Comment  

Last week I started a little series with what I call the Ugly Armbar. The move is also commonly called the Monoplata or Marceloplata.

In the video last week. I explain why I call it the Ugly Armbar opposed to the other name variations.

Here’s the Ugly Armbar setup from last week: https://youtu.be/WPngPq3I0Us

This week’s setup that you can use in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game is a little simpler than the one from last week.

This setup for the submission starts from Mount and counters a common defensive hand position. And a common desperation movement that people will use to try and get out of the Mount position.

Again, what I really like about this particular BJJ submission is the fact that it’s not commonly used.

While it might look a little funky. When I’ve used it in Brazilian Jiujitsu I’ve found it to be incredibly powerful and have great control with my game when I’m rolling.

So if you’re looking for another submission to throw into the mix for your Mount game. Try the Ugly .
