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

Wrestlers who get into BJJ can often be the worst nightmare of a Guard focused player if that bottom player doesn’t know how to work their game against the wrestler.

In this video I answer a BJJ related question that comes from a viewer on Instgram.

His question is about dealing with Wrestlers in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition that is coming up.

In this video I demonstrate my strategy to beating a Wrestler with Half Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

As I show in the video, playing Half Guard can allow you the ability to get under the hips of the Wrestling based grappler to move them and throw them off their base.

That base of theirs is often the toughest part of their game and what keeps them on top of you like glue!

So if you’re having a similar issue to Gui, then I hope this video is helpful to you and helps you should you find yourself up against a Wrestler in a BJJ tournament.

Thanks!

A common question that gets asked by newcomers to BJJ is whether or not you have to compete to be good at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This was the exact question I received from one of the viewers. He’s curious whether or not he has to compete to become good at Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In the video I share my thoughts on whether or not BJJ competitions are a must for progression in the Martial Art / Sport.

I also touch on the ideas of how I think tournaments and competitions can be beneficial to someone’s progression if not entirely a necessity.

I know that wrongly when I was a White Belt in BJJ. I thought that you had to do BJJ competitions.

As I’ve gotten older with years of experience under my belt I’ve realized the error of this thinking.

If you’re someone who is interested in BJJ competitions or curious about their necessity , I hope this video is helpful to you!

Thanks for watching!

Black-Belt / Master 1 / Male / Super-Heavy – Qualifier

Recently, my buddy Adam who was promoted to BJJ Black Belt.

At out gym walks the gauntlet for Belt Promotions.

This Belt Promotion was absolutely nuts!

It left me speechless.

I’ve never seen someone walk the gauntlet in that manner.

Adam is crazy.

Thanks!

One of the BJJ rolling style games we have in our gym is calling your submission.

Basically when rolling with your partner, you tell them the submission you plan to use in advance.

The point of this rolling drill is to help develop more creativity for our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game.

For instance if someone knows you’re going for a particular submission or technique. They guard against it.

This type of Brazilian jiujitsu training forces you to work more creatively to find the submission. Because they’re defense for that submission will be much higher.

Making you look for different ways to get it!

In this video my student Justin and I rolled. He was looking for leg locks and I was looking for an armbar.

You’ll see that we hit all sorts of weird angles and positions as we chase a technique that the other knows they are going for.

I really enjoy incorporating this type of training into my Brazilian Jiujitsu as it helps me focus on a limited set of options which can help keep away from being overwhelmed with options.

I hope you guys enjoy the video!

How do you lose the ALL or NOTHING mindset with BJJ training? How do you make Brazilian Jiu-jitsu a part of your life and not your whole life.

This is the question I received from Chris P. . . Last name Bacon. 😉

He says that he used to do BJJ in his 20s and now that he is doing BJJ after 30. He’s struggling to find a proper balance with his training.

In part because when he trained before, he trained like a mad man. And he finds that he is struggling to train less and still feel productive as an older guy in grappling.

In this video I share some of the struggles I’ve had over the years with different evolutions of myself. And the issues associated with that.

During the video I talk about everything from becoming an professional MMA fighter then leaving that, becoming focused on BJJ competitions and then pulling away.

I also talk about how my former self, like a lingering shadow, tries to pull me back into my old rhythms and patterns.

And by pulling away from some of my former identities creates a lot of uncertainty and anxiety because I’ve built myself up into something and then I’m moving on.

And I share this because Chris is probably battling with the new version of himself and the former version who used to train more.

Chris, and anyone else watching. I hope this helps!

Black-Belt / Adult / Master 5 / Open-Class – Final

In a recent video I talked about how I used to be unable to sit back on my heels. And how this made my worst position in BJJ being inside someones Guard.

Following that video many of you had questions about how I was able to develop the ability to sit back on my heels.

In this video I talk about the issues that this muscular issue created in my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

And then I go into detail about the stretches I used to fix it.

Also with me in this video is my good friend Eugene. Who runs a Youtube Channel The Jiujitsu Therapist
Click here to check out his Podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwUYfr1lIVYg7fBC1Slqitg

You can also check out some cool down stretches for training here:

And for all of you who sent me the question about your tight knees, hips and quads in relation to sitting back on your heels. I hope this helps you out!

These really were the stretches that allowed me to have a strong Guard breaking ability and even cleared up a lot of knee stiffness I had.

Hope this video helps you sit back on you heels if you can’t and helps you break the Guard better in BJJ.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of promoting my good friend Adam to Black Belt in BJJ.

As a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach, I desperately hope I’m not only helping make my students better at BJJ. But I also hope that I’m making a positive impact on their life in some way outside of the gym.

Everyone has their mission and that’s mine.

When Adam gave his Black Belt speech about what it means to be a BJJ Black Belt at least to him, I was moved. Because of the way he felt for me and all of the other people on the team.

You’ll see it on my face, I became watery eyed.

For me, that lets me now I’m on the right track.

In regards to Adam himself. There is so much I could say about him.

In fact, it’s difficult to condense your feelings and memories down to a simple post.

So I won’t try today.

Instead, I’ll just say that I’m proud of Adam, and I am so very thankful that he found his way to our gym 9 years ago.

He’s been one of my best training partners, someone I look forward to seeing on a regular basis and we’ve had some fun times together.

Congratulations to Adam! I’m proud of him. As a coach, brother in arms and friend.
