Murilo Santana vs Joshua McKinney / Cincinnati Open 2019
Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Medium-Heavy – Final

Should do you BJJ before you lift weights? That’s a question I get a lot from people who watch the channel.

In this video I share a Friday session we had at the gym. It started off with BJJ and then Joe myself and a couple of the guys went over to do a lift.

I already knew what was going to happen. I was going to be weaker.

Along with making the muscles looser which is not optimal for strength or safety when lifting. It also depletes a lot of the materials your body uses for muscle performance.

During the weight training session I share a supplement Joe and I use after really tough training sessions, especially if we have to train again soon.

And we also answer some questions from my Friday Instagram Q&A. We got a little silly with some of the cussing so if that bothers you, then you may not want to watch.

But all in all, I wouldn’t recommend doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu before lifting.

And if you’re wondering what I typically do. I try to seperate them by several hours. Always doing lifting 1st if possible.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Iron sharpens irons. This is a saying we use often in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu which I believe originated from the Bible Proverbs 27:17.

The old saying sounds good but what does it mean?

There are obviously endless interpretations of just about any maxim or idea. But when I see the saying iron sharpens iron I see it this way. . .

If in order for me to grow, I have to have someone as hard, tough or as skilled as me.

With your BJJ training. If you only have people who are unable to really push you. You may find your game getting stagnant.

When you roll with your training partners in the gym and they stop your BJJ techniques. You should be almost excited it happened.

Why?

Because just like going into the gym and lifting weights where we break down and stress the muscles so they get bigger and stronger. When we are doing Brazilian Jiujitsu when someone stops our techniques from working. This is a similar situation.

Once they beat or stop our techniques during training. We then are forced to rise to a new level, to look for new ways, and it makes us more creative as well physically and mentally stronger.

So iron sharpens irons. If you’re in the gym and one of your training partners stops your techniques.

Be thankful, and look for a way to improve and do the same to them so that you can both develop further.

The North South position in BJJ can be tough to escape.

If you think of Guard as having our hips in front of our opponent. North South is literally the opposite. They’re about as far away from the hips as they can be without getting up and running away.

This in turn can make it difficult to regain a decent position from the bottom.

This is why it can be such an awesome position for Guard Passers against long legged grapplers.

Circle towards the head and get to North South and you’re further away from those legs!

But what if you’re the person on the bottom of North South. What can you do?

Well in this video I share two North South escapes you can use in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

We’ll pay close attention to avoiding some basic submissions from the position and explore 2 escape techniques that are executed from different styles of North South.

If you’re getting stuck in this position then I hope these techniques are useful!
