Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Light-Feather – Final

What’s the best Guard for a shorter person with strong thick legs?

This is the question I received from a White Belt who is a short powerlifter and has some super strong legs.

Her issue is that when she plays her BJJ game from the bottom she has trouble getting the positions and techniques to work for her.

In my experience with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as someone who has shorter legs for his height, and as someone who has found themselves against people 300+ on more than 1 occasion.

Full guard is generally not going to be the most idea position for someone with shorter legs.

Personally, Half Guard became my go to Guard in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu almost as soon as I began getting exposed to it.

The advantage the Half Guard gives to someone with short legs or who is much smaller than their opponent.

Is. . .

1. You only have to get your legs around 1 leg! Not their entire waist.

2. Being smaller or more stocky. It’s a position in Brazilian Jiujitsu that favors a more compact build.

So if you’re having issues with full guard and you’re on the shorter / stockier side, or maybe you’re opponent is just much bigger.

Than try using the BJJ Half Guard. This will probably open up options to Butterfly Guard and X Guard in the future as well.

In the video I show an entry into the Half Guard from Mount.

Hope the video helps!

How hard should you roll in your gym leading up to a BJJ competition and how often should you roll that way?

This is the question Damon asked after competing in his 1st BJJ competition ever.

His question stems from the fact that the tournament match was so intense.

And he says he typically doesn’t feel that level of intensity during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In the video I try to explain my thoughts on BJJ training and rolling in the gym vs a Brazilian Jiujitsu match in a competition.

And it’s my belief that while sometimes your training partners will exceed the skill level of your opponents in a competition, making a match easy.

You probably won’t be able to replicate the same level of intensity from a BJJ competition inside your gym.

Watch the video and see what you think.

Enjoy the video.

Finding the right BJJ gym can seem like a daunting task for many newcomers who want to do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Recently I received a question from a former athlete asking this very question.

She says there are 3 Brazilian Jiujitsu gyms in her area and she is having trouble choosing the right one.

She says her goals are to challenge herself again after having multiple children and being able to defend herself is a plus.

In this video I describe some basic ways I would advise people to look for a BJJ gym.

The biggest factor though in my eyes is the community.

Because it’s that community aspect that is going to keep you coming in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for years and years.

We all know BJJ training is tough. And the connections to the awesome people inside your gym is what will keep you connected and continuing to train for years to come.

I also threw in a small warning and tips on avoiding illegitimate gyms. And I expressed the dangers of getting mixed up with a bad gym.

If you’re looking for a BJJ gym, I hope this helps you with finding a gym near you!
