In today’s video I talk about getting ready for a BJJ competition. In particular getting ready for a Jiu-jitsu competition with a different ruleset. The question comes from Phillip who is getting ready for a competition with a rule set he’s not used to. He’s wondering should he roll under the same rules as the competition leading up to the tournament or should he just roll like normal and make adjustments on the day of the matches?

I’ll explain how I do it and how I prepare for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition regardless of the rules.

And if you’re getting ready for a BJJ match, tournament or competition then I hope it’s useful.

In today’s Q&A video I share 4 reasons why I’ve learned more at Black Belt than any other belt rank in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Some of the reasons will seem counterintuitive but hopefully it’ll make sense. And everyone of course has their own philosophy for BJJ, but these are the ideas that I think have made the biggest difference.

Oh and even if you’re not a Black Belt I think you can make use of the information in the video.

Thanks for watching.

In this BJJ technique video I share a simple idea on escaping side control when someone is super tight. I’m using the lapel to help (since it’s there) but you can use this same setup in no gi jiu-jitsu as well. Just make sure the bicep is across the face.

The big thing I really wanted to stress in this side control escape video is to be mindful of where you are pushing with your frames. Many beginners use their basic frames and push right into the power of the person on top. Meaning they push towards their legs and feet which means they get absolutely no where. But if we simply change the angle we’re pushing we can get a lot more mileage from our frames and bridges.

So if you’re getting stuck in side control when your doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is helpful!

Today’s BJJ Q&A video is from Josh who’s a big guy who wants to move more like a “little” guy. I put that in air quotes because I know plenty of smaller BJJ practitioners who have great smash games. But getting back to his question he says that during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practices, his coach encourages him towards a more pressure and smash style game whereas he seems interested in a lot of open guards and other positions more commonly associated with smaller Brazilian Jiu jitsu players.

In this video I’ll explain why you want to have a big guy game and a little guy game (and how you can make that happen). I’ll also talk about why you should always keep in mind that your BJJ game is your own and you can create it however you’d like.

If you’re a big guy with a similar question I hope you enjoy the video.

In today’s BJJ rolling video you’ll see me moving around in the gi during one of our classes. When you watch the rolling you’ll see Adam almost take my back, another student (Nick) hits a beautiful lapel sweep on me and during this time I was personally on the hunt for straight armlocks. This is 1 of my favorite types of submissions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

When you watch the rolling I’m constantly looking for any straight armlock or variation of the technique I can hit and manage to hit a couple of different variations.

I hope you enjoy the video and may it inspire you to go on the hunt for armlocks with your own Jiu-jitsu.

Today’s BJJ technique video on Single Leg X Guard comes in response to one of the request from one of the viewers and fits right into our ongoing series on Butterfly Guard. In the previous videos in the series I’ve been showing how to hit the basic Over Under sweep from Butterfly Guard. Well in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, I’m sure you’re aware, that techniques eventually fail. And when they fail you’re going to need another option to work from.

In the video I show how to get to Single X (which could go to regular X Guard too) from a failed sweep. This is actually one of my best entries into Single Leg X.

The idea is simple, when you get a decent sweep attempt you’ll have the person off balance. While off balance you use that opportunity to slide through to the Single X and then attack with a sweep or submission depending on your preference. In the video I show an effective sweep from the position.

Hope this video is useful to you!

In today’s video I answer a question from Alex (a young BJJ Blue Belt) who has some Wrestling experience about rolling with new people inside the gym. He says that recently he was rolling with a brand new guy who also had some wrestling experience. During the rolling he was very easy with the new guy because he wanted to welcome him to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Well, after the round was over the new guy seemed to think that Alex couldn’t do anything to him.

So Alex’s question to me is about whether or not he should put it on the new people in the gym or go easy.

In this video I share a couple of stories about times I took it easy on people and they mistakenly thought I couldn’t do anything to them. Then I also go into how I do things now to help people understand the level of skill that exists but also be helpful at the same time.

If you’re in a similar situation as the Blue Belt when you’re rolling with new White Belts then I hope this is helpful.
