Answering the question from my friend and instructor at RCBJJ LAS VEGAS . Armba

If there was a BJJ tournament in your area that had no winners, no losers, and no medals. . . would you participate in it? Do you think it would even be worth doing? Would you go through all the hard training to prepare for it?

This is the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu question that was thrown to me recently on Instagram.

Our friend who lives in a particular part of Canada where prize fighting was banned. And it just so happens that Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions were classified as prize fighting.

After the law was passed a BJJ tournament was held. And during this BJJ competition. No medals were given, no hands raised and no podium was stepped on to determine a winner.

The questions asked from our friend were. . .

Are medals a big deal? And should be people feel grateful for having a some sort of tournament in their area?

Now I don’t know all of the details of this situation. But I interpreted this as there were no winners and losers.

And I answer the question accordingly.

I hope that maybe you find the video at the very least, entertaining and possibly give you an idea as to why many people compete.

Thanks for watching.

Looking for some BJJ Drills to take the Back for your training? Check out these 4 BJJ Drills I use in this video.

Unlike some of my other BJJ drills videos. You get to come along for the ride with my students as if you were present for one of my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.

In this video I show 4 different drills to build up your ability to be a Back Taking Machine.

The 1st Drill in this sequence of movements and techniques is a Near Side Back Take from the Double Under Pass.

The 2nd Brazilian Jiujitsu technique / drill is the Up and Dump pass to a Hip Switch Back Take. Which comes from the Double Under Pass.

The third Back Take option comes from the Turtle Position when the person tries to roll and we roll with them to snag the Back Mount.

The 4th one. Which is fun one. Uses the lapels and a side roll to whip around and take the Back Mount.

All 4 of these are very simple and practical options to throw into just about anyone’s BJJ game. And hopefully the idea of keeping continuous movement as shown in the video will give you some ideas for other positions, techniques and drills for your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Training.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

The double under pass is one of the most effective and powerful passes both with and without the gi. Heee Jake shows you the details of the pass and a clever submussion to catch your opponent if the pass is attempted on you.

Brian Reilly (SBG) vs Matt Rennick (Team Torres) in the SubOnly 4 combat Jiu Jitsu Lightweight final.

Do you ever lack motivation for BJJ training? If so, how do you overcome it? What keeps you motivated.

I recently received a couple of BJJ questions related to motivation for training.

1 from Zach, a BJJ Blue Belt who is having some of the Blue Belt blues and is lacking motivation for training.

The other from Perk Kar on the Chewjitsu Instagram, who said, “lack of motivation how do we overcome it?”

In this video I do my best to share the idea that motivation is not what you need to keep training consistently.

Most people think of motivation as some sort of divine spark that is supposed to hit you and propel you forward to do the thing that you know you need to do or that you want to do.

I personally hate that spark and find a different type motivation far more useful for long term consistency.

In this Chewy ramble video I share the idea of creating your own motivation for BJJ training. You can become a powerhouse of motivation.

But it’s not something that magically comes to you. Instead you create it by taking action and moving forward towards whatever it is you want.

If you’re talking about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Make a ritual and schedule. And stick to that damn thing. If there is a secret to getting better and staying motivated. It’s keeping your disciplined habits and schedules together.

Having the structure to fuel your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is far more helpful than any spark for training motivation. Because you wield it. . . it’s yours.

And instead of being so dead set on some long term goal. Your goal should be your rituals and schedule. Keep them alive and enjoy the little victories and the big ones will come.

Hope this video helps you get into the gym and train your face off!

If you’re a bigger person in BJJ. 1. How can you make your flexibility better for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 2. How do you roll with smaller people when you’re self c

Being a big person in BJJ isn’t a bad thing.

As long as you’re being safe on the mat. You’re actually providing an awesome service for your training partners.

You help your training partners get used to the pressure associated with bigger training partners, opponents or attackers.

In this video I talk about why having a bigger training is actually very useful and is actually a good thing for your BJJ training.

This video came about because of a question I received from a BJJ White Belt who is a bigger guy and is struggling with figuring out what he should be doing for his BJJ training with his lighter training partners.

So if you’re a bigger man or woman in your BJJ gym. I hope this video is helpful.

The Half Guard in BJJ is by far one of my favorite positions in Gi or No Gi. There’s so many options, grips and adjustments to mix it up with.

In this video I show a really STRONG grip to use in the Gi.

I put an emphasis on strong because it really locks the person down and creates crazy pressure from the bottom of Half Guard.

I’ve found from years of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that once someone knows that I’m a Half Guard player.

They tend to try and get away from me.

This Back Strap grip doesn’t allow them to do that.

I’ve used this grip in rolling and competitions with plenty of success.

The gi loops around their back and puts an immense amount of pressure which completely locks the person up. If they try to push back or get away.

It’s usually not an option.

In the video I show one simple option that allows you to get to Back Mount and create a strong angle.

But there are so many sweeps and options you can add into your Brazilian Jiujitsu game with the grip.

So if you’re a BJJ Half Guard player and you’re looking for another option to throw in to your game.

Try the Back Strap grip.

Hope the technique helps!
