Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Heavy – SemiFinal

Fight ended due to injury.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male – Qualifier

Over the years as a head coach and co-owner of a BJJ/MMA gym I’ve learned that. . .

People are cray-zee.

Either that or they watch too many movies.

Like, last Friday I had this guy who wanted to live in the gym and train with me.

He’s planning on going to the UFC and being the champion. Ignoring the fact that he’s in his mid 30s and has never trained before.

Then yesterday I got an email from a person who had requested information about our gym.

After sending him the info, here’s his reply. .
———

“Laugh out loud. I am trained to be a prize fighter. I do not need orders.

I need amateur fights immediately at 170lbs, and an avenue to quickly go pro at 155lbs. I am 70″ tall, 185lbs, 75″ reach. 11-0 Bjj with one blue belt state title and one blue belt NAGA title. Pure Muay Thai striking (like a actual thai fighter, not this bullshit on tv).

As Connor Mcgregor once said, “I fight at 155 because I have the greatest advantage, without an advantage on height or reach, training is useless”.

The fact that I even sent you an email this long makes me want to run through your roster to prove a point, but it is not worth the potential injuries. I have to protect my fighter lifespan, as I am 30 years old. I cannot take any injuries right now. Period.

Sit on that & respond later,
———
Gosh. . . it’s so good!

My favorite part is that he spelled out LOL and ended with “sit on that and respond later”

But sadly I won’t respond later because I believe this poor chap has lost his grip on reality.

A sad state of affairs for such a prize fighter.

But this stuff just isn’t like the feel good movies where anything is possible.

And I’m just not going to blow smoke up someone’s butt and tell them they’ll be the next Connor McGregor. It’s not right.

Sit on this video, and I’ll talk to you later.

In BJJ there is a move that inexperienced White Belts will do from dominant positions. I jokingly call it the “White Belt Hug.”

The White Belt Hug is where someone just grabs your upper body and squeezes. This typically makes it worse for the person on the bottom in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because they are pulling the person’s weight even more down on top of them.

So now you have their top pressure combined with your arm strength pulling them down.

Now while the technique is absolutely terrible for escaping. It can be really irritating because it gets in the way and slows things down.

In this video I show a couple of simple options to counter this technique when someone is in Mount..

The 1st is a simple forearm in the throat to create a frame. Pay close attention to how I use my whole body to break the grip.

The second is a simple option where i go to S mount to setup an armbar.

Again, not a complicated technique, but this was the question I was asked so I hope this helps.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Final

In this BJJ rolling video from my gym you get to watch me roll with some of my Brown Belts and Purple Belts. In addition to seeing me work for Back Mount you’ll also see me get caught in some bad spots.

My Brown Belt, Joe, starts the rolling off with a guillotine choke. My Brown Belt, Jeff, later on blasts past my Half Guard pull.

As I talk about in my videos on Youtube. It’s a good idea to focus on a particular position, technique or movement for a period of time. During this Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling session I was focused on getting to Back Mount.

This was from one of our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session focused towards rolling. I hope that you enjoy the video and the sneak peek from inside of our gym.
