If you’re getting ready for your very 1st BJJ competition I think this video might be useful for you. In the video I share 3 helpful tips you should keep in mind when preparing for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament or match.
The question comes from our friend Niki who is a powerlifter and is considering doing her 1st BJJ comp.
She was curious if there is anything she needs to know when preparing for the tournament.
In the video I shared 3 ideas that I think would be useful for anyone in Jiujitsu getting ready for a competition.
1. Set your sights on a upcoming competition as early as possible. Know the competition you plan to do and prepare for it. Doing this will give you ample time to get familiar with points, rules, etc.
Because it’s important to remember that BJJ competitions are a game. And during that game it’s wise to remember that it’s not always the person who’s best at BJJ wins. It’s the person who’s best at playing the competition game.
2. Know what you’re going to do at the start of the match. Whether it’s a takedown or a guard pull you need to know what you plan to do when the match starts.
3. Know your weight class and types of weigh ins. I’ve almost gotten into trouble with this over the years where I didn’t pay attention to weight classes.
If you have a competition coming up I hope this is helpful to you!

How intense should your BJJ training be inside the gym when you’re wanting to prepare for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition or possibly MMA? This is today’s question.
In this video I touch on the topic of intensity 1st and the idea that you can’t really know the intensity of training until you experience it in person.
When you compete you essentially have a license to fight another person in the agreed upon rules and it’s completely ok. This isn’t true anywhere else in society.
I experienced these conditions in Wrestling tournaments, Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions and MMA fights. And I can tell you that from my personal experience, when you’re competing you’re tapped into an intensity that just isn’t present in normal conditions.
At the very least it’s hard to do.
From there I briefly talk about how you might prepare for a competition using a mixture of intense and lighter training to allow the body to recover.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Black-belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Quarterfinal
In this video I show a Oma Plata escape that leads into Back Mount that you can use in BJJ. I recently hit this in one of our rolling videos from a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session we had and I received a question about how I used the technique.
In the video of our rolling, which is clipped into the video, I got caught in a triangle choke position. Then after escaping the triangle my student switched to an oma plata submission. I countered this by hopping over and then getting into the back mount position.
If you’ve followed me for anytime then you know my Brazilian Jiujitsu style is all about getting to the back. I’m always trying to find a way to make it to back mount because I find it to be one of the best position for my game personally.
I hope you enjoy the escape / counter and hopefully it will help you with your own training.

In this BJJ rolling video video at our gym Derby City MMA you’ll see a good mixture of takedowns, guard passing and I almost got my back taken during one of my rolls by one of my purple belts.
During the BJJ rolling session I started off light with one of my purple belts who is nursing a rib injury. From there we picked up the intensity.
My second roll was with one of my BJJ purple belts who is also a MMA fighter and former wrestler. After a solid takedown he came after my back and almost had it!
After I managed to get out of the position I got on top and went for my own attacks. A lot of times when I roll with my guys I have to turn it up a little bit because they are getting good enough to give me a lot of trouble.
My last roll was with one of my other purple belts who is the kind of guy in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that is 200+lbs and somehow manages to bend and fold in half. During our roll we had some great scrambles. 1 where he caught me in a leg attack and another where I was able to get around to the back.
Hope you enjoyed the rolling video.

Is Boxing better than Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for self-defense or fighting situations? Is BJJ unrealistic compared to the sweet science of stand up martial arts?
This is the question for todays video which comes from our friend who says his friend has told him that Brazilian Jiujitsu is not an effective martial art and is useless for a street fight.
I obviously disagree with this viewpoint as someone who has used BJJ in fighting situations and has taught students who have as well. I do not believe this.
But in the video I try to talk more about combat sports as a whole and the benefit of them. Whether it’s Boxing, BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, etc. Combat sport based martial arts pose a different benefit than some traditional martial arts.
Mainly this is the fact that they spar all the time. This allows the practitioner to develop the ability to deal with stress which will help them navigate the unpredictable circumstances of a street fight or self-defense situation.
Also combat sports have “unrealistic” fighting scenarios in competition. BJJ vs BJJ doesn’t always look realistic to a fight. But Boxing too is unrealistic where if you clinch up with someone you get broken up by the ref. This doesn’t happen in a fight.
Ultimately though, I think that the competition experience lends itself to making someone more effective in a fighting situation.
And if you are someone interested in self defense or having to be in a fighting situation. I would encourage you to practice both BJJ and Boxing or Wrestling and Kickboxing. Just some form of grappling and striking.
