Recently one of my newer White Belts competed in a BJJ competition. And while he was competing he made a few blunders with his guard pulling. Par for the course when it comes to a newer competitor trying to hit a technique in the intensity of sport Jiu-Jitsu. What was funny though is as he won the match the people on the other team criticized his techniques because “it wouldn’t work on the streets.”
And this my friend is one of the most annoying things I hear people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu say about others who are competing in sport Jiu-Jitsu. Because of course, many sports moves won’t work in a self-defense situation or fight. That’s a given. But during a competition we aren’t in a street fight, we are involved in a sport Jiu-jitsu match.
I share my own ideas about the whole self-defense vs sport Jiu-Jitsu thing but I’d love to hear some of the things you hear said about Brazilian Jiujitsu (whether from other BJJ players or other martial arts).
So leave a comment with something people say about BJJ that make you just roll your eyes.
Leave your comments down below and I’ll chime in and chat with you.

Today’s no gi BJJ rolling video comes from when Chad came to the gym the last time. During the rolls you’ll see my Black Belt Chad hit a nice mixture of leg locks, guard passing and back attacks. A lot of the guys were excited to roll with him since it’s been a while since he was at the gym last.
Something I always find interesting is how long Chad and I trained together (since he was a kid) and how different out Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu styles are. Maybe this is because of body type or maybe mindset. Either way we have 2 very different Jiu-jitsu styles.
At the end Chad and I roll (5:17 in the video). Spartan (the guy who edits the videos) decided to change the music and it made it seem like the boss fight at the end of a video game. Either way we basically roll to a stale mate until the very end. I couldn’t pass, he couldn’t catch me from the bottom and we both had a couple of “almost-but-not-quites.” If you were watching the video and wondered why it stopped after he was securing the Back Mount it’s because time ran out.
Hope the BJJ rolling video was entertaining and maybe gave you a few things to think about for your own training.
See you on the channel next time.

Today’s video is a fun one where Adam and I answer some of the comments that we received in the Youtube community section recently. Some of the questions are silly, some are serious. But either way I hope you enjoy the video.

Today’s Q&A comes from Victor who is a self-proclaimed mediocre Blue Belt and when he comes into his morning training sessions (which is when he trains), the mats are full of tough Purple Belts and up.
He says that because everyone is so tough he doesn’t get much success while training and he is finding he is getting discouraged with his training and has even thought about quitting.
He asks how to stay motivated in a situation like this where full on success is unlikely.
In the video I share some ideas on staying in the loop when you’re not able to “win” the matches which starts with redefining what success and winning looks like.
If you’re in a similar situation as Victor then I hope this video is useful.

ADULT / MALE / BLACK / FEATHER – FINAL
Got a question today from Wade about when my BJJ game went to the next level and how I made that happen. He asks because he’s training hard but still struggling and is getting beat during training. He says he’s not getting discouraged, but he’d like to go from getting his butt kicked to doing some of the butt kicking.
In this video I share an idea about my mindset going into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu which is probably a bit counterintuitive. You see, most people tell you to visualize success and all of that. Early on, I had such low confidence in myself that I simply focused on training and didn’t set too many grand expectations. Sure I had dreams of being good at BJJ, but I didn’t really have expectations. This allowed me to be focused on the love of training and the day to day process rather than being obsessed with how things ended or worked out.
Along with this mindset I give some ideas that might be useful to you if you’re in Wade’s situation.
Hope the video is helpful, thanks for watching and I’ll talk to you next time.
