Today’s question comes from White Belt our friend who recently had a freak accident outside the gym and now has to take 1 month off BJJ training.

He’s super down about it as he’s been making a lot of progress with his BJJ. And he’s wanting to get some exercises that he can use for his down time.

In this video I steer away from this situation a bit. I know that a lot of people don’t want to lose their progress or the skill they gained in BJJ. And with a small downtime, you won’t.

But something more valuable that can come from this period of inactivity is the contrast of not being able to train.

Meaning, when you get back to training and you’re having a bad day, bomb a tournament or whatever. You can go back and think about what it was like to not even be able to train and then be thankful for the opportunity to get out there on the mats. You’re healthy and not injured and there will always be tomorrow.

This is something I picked up when I was younger and really helps give more appreciation to your BJJ training.

Thanks for watching the video!

The man himself, Eddie Bravo, goes off on cardio and mindset. An awesome episode. A few issues in the middle but stay with it. It’s worth it.

Recently I did a video on some stretches and movements that you could use for recovery following BJJ training.

The video was a little longer with detailed explanations of the stretches. That video is here: https://youtu.be/9y-5f1B2HtI

But if you’ve already watched the video and just want a refresher to take you through the stretches then you can watch this one.

In the video there are around 8 basic stretches I use following a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class. There are more stretches that I use. But this at least is a small group that you can easily try on your own.

If I was to put down every stretch or corrective exercise that I use. This video would be too long.

I tend to do these exercises either at the gym after a class to cool down and keep my muscles look.

Or sometimes I’ll do them at home after a shower before I head to bed.

This is also a great chance to listen to an audio book or something like that.

Hope the stretches are help with your BJJ training.

Happy Independence Day!

My new Rubber Guard set is now available! Here’s the link:

Rubber Guard: The Meathook by Brandon McCaghren

And here’s a code to grab 30% off: JULY4

A really frustration situation in BJJ is when a long legged person locks up Full Guard, squeezes and doesn’t open.

It can be incredibly hard to open someone’s Guard who has really long legs.

As I’ve expressed in other videos. The full guard was one of my worst positions early on.

In this video our friend Andrea, asks a similar question for her Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

She wants to know how to break full guard when the person has long legs and squeezes.

In this video I show a really simple Thrust Choke that can be used in order to get the person on the bottom to open up.

It’s simple, powerful and really uncomfortable for the person on the bottom. And if they don’t respect the submission attempt. It’s possible for them to go unconscious.

And as I explain in the video. From my experience in Brazilian Jiujitsu. When you apply the choke. Guard players will often open up to get out of the position and choke.

So if you’re having trouble breaking full guard in BJJ. Give the choke a try!

In this video from one of our recent Brazilian Jiu-jitsu No gi classes. I hit several takedowns during the class. But as I tried to play around with a few new mount techniques. You’ll see that I wasn’t successful.

Which isn’t a bad thing. I gave up space and was unable to hit the new moves I was working towards. Something we should all be doing from time to time in BJJ.

Hope you enjoyed the video of our rolling down at my gym Derby City MMA.

In this BJJ technique video I show another setup for the Monoplata , Marceloplata, Spiral Armbar or what I call the Ugly Armbar.

Here’s the video where I show why I call it the Ugly Armbar: https://youtu.be/WPngPq3I0Us

The Ugly Armbar is such a great shoulder lock submission for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 1 reason is because many people don’t use it much so it remains a little bit or the sneakier side.

But also, it’s one of those BJJ submissions that you can find lots of different positions. I’ve got setups to this move from Mount, Guard, Side Control and in this case. . . from the Half Guard position.

The technique starts with a back step movement to get the movement started. And as my opponent or training partner moves towards me it opens up the attack.

If you enjoy the technique and would like to add it to your Brazilian Jiujitsu game. My suggestion is to get drilling. Like any submissions when you’re training or in competitions. You’ll only have a moment to execute it.

I hope you enjoyed the video of the Ugly Armbar , Monoplata, Marceloplata setup!
