In this video I provide 5 tips and ideas that I have used over the years on how I balance BJJ and life.

These are ideas and tips that have worked for me and hopefully will also help out in you being more consistent in training and with feeling like you are trying to stay on top of life stuff.

In this video, I demonstrate 3 Step Over Pass variations using an exercise ball.

This is geared towards improving mobility, timing, balance, and technique to help incorporate into live rolling.

1. Step Over
2. Step Over With Hip Pressure
3. Step Over With Hip Pressure and Hip Switch

I have heard this position go by many names over the years. Octopus Guard, Cat Dog, and Over Wrap to name a few. However, I played around quite a bit with this position well before hearing of these, and I called it the Reverse Seat Belt. Why? It is kind of like the Wrestling Seat Belt (or the Dog Fight position in BJJ terms), where there is a deep waist tie with both people’s torsos tight together – just facing opposite directions instead of the same (hence reverse).

Let’s not get stuck on names though. I find this position a great tool, especially if your guard isn’t great. If you are getting passed a lot, it is a simple thing to work into this reverse seat belt position and change the battle, as most people are not too familiar with working this position.

One of the simplest ways of using the Reverse Seat Belt (RSB) is to apply a hip bump sweep. I’ll post up quick and drive into them, getting them to shift their base and collapse their knees a little closer together, then pop my hips up and over to score the quick sweep.

This doesn’t always work, particularly if they have a strong base, but it will set up a series of attacks we can go into next. One thing to keep in mind from this position whenever you sweep is that you will very often score a complete reversal – meaning they will finish in the reverse seat belt. The last thing you want is to get swept with the same position you just swept with. So I do my best to quickly cut under and score a crossface after sweeping, so I end the game and get a strong top position.

Today’s BJJ technique video is a continuation of the passing idea I shared last week about using half guard to slow down younger, faster or more athletic opponents.

In today’s video I answer a question about the Reverse Half Guard position as a question came up on the original video. I show some details on how to use the Reverse Half Guard position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, so you don’t get reverse or lose control of your opponent. But also, how to strategically place your weight on your opponent to apply maximum pressure.

This can be a great position whether you’re older and need to slow down the young whipper snappers in your class or if you just run into someone who has a really mobile guard.

If you’re trying to figure out ways to slow down training partners or opponents with guard passing then I hope this video is useful to you!

Most people who learn Jiu Jitsu around the world focus on technique for the majority of their time. This in and of itself isn’t a bad idea but it can actually be counter productive as you force techniques when they are not there and you end up with analysis paralysis.

In this video, I will go over the negative components of focusing on technique too much in Jiu Jitsu and a better way on how to develop your skills not only quicker but better.

I forgot what John Danaher called this, so forgive the long name. But at least it’s very descriptive. 🙂

From our high tripod pass, if we get stuck with a solid defender and unable to budge them, we can switch our grips. We can move both our hands on top of their shins, but in the reverse grip – with our fingers pointing towards their feet.

At first, it might not seem like much, as our opponent will still be in a defensive position. But we then circle towards the north south position as we put our weight on their shins. As we start rounding the corner and getting towards the other side of their body, our pin is revealed – as their knees will come crashing down on the far side of the mat. This gives us a back exposure, allowing all sorts of attacks to commence.
