So, today we’ve got a question from a Newly promoted Brown Belt, Evan, who is a hobbyist that finds himself having a case of the “Brown Belt Blues.”

Usually, you hear about the Blue Belt Blues, but today’s situation in a little different, or at least the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt color is.

He says that at his gym he’s at the appropriate belt level. But, when he goes online and starts looking at the people who are competing at the Blue/Purple/Brown Belt competitions, he just doesn’t think he’s at that level.

He obviously finds this disheartening.

Sometimes he finds that he has no idea what these lower belts are even doing when they compete and now, he’s suffering with a bit of imposter syndrome as a result of that.

He asks what I’d do to deal with the doubt of his rank in BJJ.

In this video I’ll give Evan, and you guys, 2 ideas to chew on. 1 idea you guys might not like much, but I’m sure the other will be reassuring for some of you.

Hopefully, if you’re struggling with a similar issue, then you found today’s video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video is going to be a breakdown of the Arm Triangle Submission in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA and how I would make these 7 adjustments to improve your finishing rate with this submission.

The Arm Triangle is one of my favorite submissions in BJJ, but like most submissions it can be really tough to finish on a competent opponent when even 1 of these 7 details is slightly off.

These 7 adjustments made my Arm Triangle game way better, and I hope they do the same for you!

A lot of these adjustments have come from experience and time. On top of being a coach for a while, there are a few common problem areas where I see my students often struggle.

Many of these details come as answers to those specific common struggles.

If you were having trouble finishing the Arm Triangle, then I hope these tips were helpful.

Thanks for watching.

“Grapplers – No Gi No Money” The Documentary is an exploration of ambition, struggle, and triumph.

The Professional Grappling Federation (PGF) unveils its latest documentary, “Grapplers”. It offers an intimate look into the world of competitive jiu-jitsu. This groundbreaking film chronicles Season 5 of the PGF, showcasing the personal and professional journeys of its athletes and the visionary leaders behind the league.

**A New Era for Jiu-Jitsu**

The PGF stands out in the martial arts world for its innovative approach to competition, blending traditional jiu-jitsu with a unique structure that highlights athlete stories and strategic gameplay, and unique fan engagement. “Grapplers” delves into the creation of the PGF, focusing on its founders, Brandon and Keelan, who envisioned a platform that not only elevates the sport but also provides a stage for grapplers to showcase their dedication and skill.

**The Heart of the Documentary: Athlete Stories**

At the core of the documentary are the compelling narratives of the athletes, including Elijah Carlton, Travis Thomas, and Nekiaya Jackson. Their stories of rivalry, ambition, and inspiration illustrate the emotional highs and lows of competitive sports. Elijah Carlton emerges as the formidable competitor with a reputation to maintain, while Travis Thomas’s journey is one of relentless pursuit of greatness. Nekiaya Jackson’s transition from Champion to coach and back to champion offers a powerful narrative of overcoming obstacles and breaking barriers in the sport.

**Challenges, Triumphs, and the Future**

The documentary captures the essence of the PGF through its pivotal moments—from the anticipation of draft day to the climax of the playoff matches. It highlights the significant investment by Zoltan Bathory, which promises to propel the PGF into a new realm of global recognition and success.

“Grapplers” is more than just a sports documentary. It’s a story about the spirit of competition, the passion for jiu-jitsu, and the community that it builds. As the PGF looks to the future, the documentary closes on a note of anticipation, hinting at the league’s potential to redefine the sport for generations to come.

**Availability**

“Grapplers – Noah Gi Noah Money” is now available for streaming only on YouTube. For more information on the PGF and its innovative approach to jiu-jitsu, visit www.PGF.world

Today our question comes in from a White Belt on Instagram who wants to be more offensive.

He says that he gets stuck on the bottom playing defense, like most White Belts in BJJ do, and just wants to be more offensive.

He asks how I think he can work on his ability to submit from the back and create some reliable offensive.

I send him back a message and ask him what his go-to defensive strategy is, his go to techniques off of his back.

He replies that he doesn’t really have any go-to’s and doesn’t want to focus on his “go-to” control and defensive techniques, he just wants to score more submissions.

In this video I’ll tell you why it’s more important to focus on developing solid control, guard retention, and defense on bottom, before you can develop a reliable offense, both on bottom and on top.

You have to be able to defend yourself. You have to be able to survive first. You have to be able to play off of your back in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

One of the things that made my top game better (subs and guard passing) was my ability to play off my back, defend guard passes, sweeps, etc.

And this is coming from a guy with a background in Wrestling (so it was uncomfortable for me too, at first!).

Hopefully some of you guys found this video helpful, especially if you were struggling with a similar issue as today’s messenger.

Shin to shin guard is very popular in sport jiu-jitsu. In this video we show a basic way of regaining closed guard or even better, getting a simple triangle choke setup. There is also a very simple and effective sweep from this position.

This video I demonstrate an awesome combination that starts with an uchi mata, then to a kouchi gari, and finishes with an ankle pick. Check out the details and you are sure to find something useful!
