The Best Jiu-Jitsu Search Engine in the World
ADULT / BLACK-BELT / MALE / LIGHT-FEATHER – ELIMINATION
Today’s question from a Blue Belt who’s competed, and done well, in several tournaments and is now gearing up to do his very first IBJJF competition. His question is whether or not the IBJJF competition is tougher than other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions.
In the video I’ll share some ideas on the IBJJF, why you shouldn’t get spooked about any competition and also how 1 of my BJJ students struggled in a local tournament and later on went and won the Pan Ams in his weight class and age division.
So, if you’re getting ready for your 1st IBJJF competition then I hope the video is useful!

In today’s technique video I’ll teach you 3 brutal chokes from the front headlock position in BJJ. I say brutal because they’re tough chokes. For instance, a rear naked choke in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a pretty smooth choke when done with good depth, all things considered.
But in the case of a Darce, Anaconda and the Arm-in Guillotine. . . there’s are a lot of “suck” to them. The Darce in particular hurts even when it’s done perfectly.
What’s cool about this video is the tecnique is shown as a sequence where if 1 fails you just move to another. This is a quality you’d like to have for pretty much any position you try to get especially skilled with in BJJ. So hopefully the video will give you some useful ideas on how to make this happen.
Anyways, hope the technique video gives you some useful ideas for your training.
Happy submission hunting my friends.

ADULT / BLACK-BELT / MALE / MEDIUM-HEAVY – FINAL
In BJJ there is often this idea that all you have to do to improve is this 1 thing. Many Black Belt coaches will say it’s the #1 thing you have to do to improve in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Heck, I’ve probably said it before. Nowadays though, I think it’s wrong, and if not wrong at least incomplete.
I explain why this common rule for Jiu-jitsu progress is ok but not what I would consider the #1 rule if you want to be good. And I think most of us in BJJ don’t get into it to be just “ok”. We want to be the best possible grapplers we can be. We may not be the next 24 year old Black Belt world champ, but we want to reach OUR potential.
And if you want to reach your potential it’ll require a lot of things. I talk about 1 of these important factors in this video.
Hope the video helps you with your BJJ training.
Chat with you next time.

Here’s a super simple defense to the a Knee Cut Guard Pass. Sometimes called a Cut Through. Either way, the defense is very simple and has been one of my most effective in training and competition.
Hope the little tweak helps you out!

Today’s video is from a BJJ White Belt who’s about 2 years into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and says that he is always getting injured. His question is whether or not BJJ is even right for him. Possibly he’s too fragile or something.
Now I cannot answer that question, because who knows? I’ve seen some seemingly frail people become expert grapplers while some stout dudes ended up quitting early on.
Instead, I went on to ask him more about his rolling and he said he tries to take things slow and easy during rolling. Now this might seem like a smart idea, and against higher BJJ belts it can be.
But as I’ll explain in the video. Rolling like this against lower belts can be downright dangerous.
Hopefully the video is useful to you with your training and hopefully helps you avoid some injuries.

Here is the epic Finals Day highlight from the 2022 World Championship. This highlight features the action of the black belt divisions, team awards and Hall of Fame inductions. This years World Championship was truly memorable and here are all of the major highlights from the event.
In today’s video I answer a question from Raymond who is beconing a new MMA coach at his gym. He’s been a student there and is now becoming a coach on some level. His question to me today is about how to get better at speaking and his ability to coach since he’s a bit nervous.
So in the video I discuss some ideas that could help someone become a better teacher/coach whether they’re new or not. These are the same tips that helped me as someone who felt unsure of themself early on as a coach and who used to have a stutter in my late teens. These tips are for Ray who’s going to be an MMA coach. But you could use these tips for teaching in general.
If you’re a new coach in any capacity then I hope the tips help you.

This is a basic overview for anyone whos trying to drop to a lower weight class or just lose weight and wants to do so without killing themselves in the process.
I say this, because a lot of people in BJJ literally destroy themselves trying to cut weight for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. And in most cases it isn’t necessary and there is a better way to do things.
So in the video I share some of the simplest weight cutting tips that you can implement to lose weight slowly and intelligently. To lose weight without losing tons of muscle and without destroying your training and performance.
Hope the video is useful!
Oh and if you want to see my diet click the link below. This is pretty much my diet all the time. I simply eat varying amounts of food depending on my goals at the time.
Also, if you want to hire someone to write out your diet for you and be a remote coach to keep you accountable. I can’t recommend my buddy Eli enough. He’s been one of my coaches for the last 2 years and hiring him was one of the best decisions for my performance, health and physical appearance.

The figure 4 defense in BJJ is a common option people use when you try to armbar them from mount. In the short video today, I’ll show you a simple way to bypass that defense and secure the armbar easier.

Today’s video is a question from a viewer who’s involved in MMA and finds that he is a slow starter. Meaning he allows other people to get the better of him but then turns it on after. This is an issue many people have faced, including yours bearded.
So in today’s Q&A video I share some ideas of how I went from being a slow started in BJJ competitions and MMA and into an aggressive fighter/grappler from the moment a match started.
Hope the video gives you some useful ideas for your own training.
Oh, and sorry for the weird brightness in the video. Camera was on the fritz that day.
