Semifinal match of the IBJJF Heavy Weight Grand Prix.

In this rolling video you’ll see my student’s get the better of me several times. Which I’m pretty happy about. During this particular BJJ training class we did a lot of situational rolling. Some rounds start with us having the kimura already locked in place, we did some passing guard vs sweeping rounds and ended with some full rounds.

I was personally hunting kimruas for this class as you’ll see me diving and rolling for kimuras from all kinds of funky positions. I’m trying to improve my ability to catch them in weird spots to boost my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu submissions.

I think my favorite moment of this training session happened @1:09 where one of my guys Matt has been trying to work on his takedowns. He’s already a monster from the guard using triangle chokes and that sort of thing. But his takedowns have always needed a little bit of work. Along with some Judo practice he’s also been drilling some shots. And during our roll at that point in the video he hit me with a beautiful double leg.

If you watch the video you’ll see me goofing around and then Matt plows right into me followed by me laughing. I think I called him a jerk with the happiest tone possible.

Hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Ultra-Heavy – Semifinal

If you have a brand new White Belt in your gym, should smash them or let them work a bit? What if the new person got up after you were done rolling and began to brag about beating you or your inability to beat them? This is the question from one of our friends who ran into this situation recently with his BJJ training at his gym.

He says that a new White Belt came into his gym and during his roll he took it easy on the guy. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a tough sport and so he wanted to help the guy out. Well after the roll the new White Belt gets up and sort of brags about him not being able to beat him.

Frustrated, our friend is wondering. . . do you just smash every single new person that comes into do Brazilian Jiujitsu or do you do something else?

In this video I explain what myself and some of my coaches refer to the “Rich-Rule” and how it’s effective for curtailing that kind of negative behavior on the mat. I also discuss how I was very similar to the beginner who bragged. Well I would have never bragged about it. But I would have definitely thought I was better than I really was. Because I didn’t understand the reality of training till my coaches showed me that they could submit me every second, but could also take it easy on me and play.

Hopefully the video is useful to you. Thanks for watching.

Black-Belt/Adult/Female/Middle – Final

In today’s video we talk about using “illegal submissions” inside your BJJ gym. Now when we say illegal what we mean is illegal in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. Our friend asks this because recently he’s found that he’s been successful using a few moves that aren’t allowed in Jiu-jitsu competitions and he’s wondering if he should continue to use them or not.

In the video I stress that I personally don’t want to be dependent on any type of technique. Whether it’s illegal, a gi specific move, no gi specific move, etc. I want my BJJ to be transferable to a fight, competition or rolling situation. Not just one or the other.

Also, competitions vary in what is legal and illegal so it’s hard to say 1 technique or another is illegal.

If you’re in a similar situation with using techniques that are illegal or just frowned upon then hopefully this video makes sense.

Thanks for watching!
