In today’s video I share a quick story from a BJJ training session with a Crossfit athlete who was also a college wrestler, and has also did some Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Because of his wrestling base he definitely gave me a unique look and shut down my Half Guard game. Every time I’d come up for a sweep I just couldn’t quite finish it. Instead I had to switch up to Butterfly Guard to get a sweep.

I share this with you because the problem solving mindset I have when I train with people like that is not the one I’ve always had. And if you’re a BJJ practitioner yourself you definitely need to maintain that mindset, especially against people with certain attributes that give you trouble.

Here’s his instagram page in case you want to check him out: https://www.instagram.com/blacksmifff/

I say this because all to often I hear BJJ players make excuses as to why something doesn’t work like, “Oh they’re just strong.” You don’t want to be one of these people.

I also give you an update on how my weight loss is going. Currently I’m down to about 200-202 in the morning and have lost around 10lbs and it’s steadily declining. More on that to come.

Hope you enjoyed 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.

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.

Today’s BJJ technique video is a request for a Guillotine Choke from Full Guard. This is one of the earliest submissions I learned in Brazilian Jiujitsu. As I show in the video, this particular technique set up works off of the basic Kimura Sweep / Hip Bump Sweep position.

If the sweep fails you come right back into the submission. Which is a valuable lesson in itself for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Learning to chain techniques together so that even if 1 thing fails, you can always move on to another.

Also in the video I give some key points on finishing the Guillotine Choke efficiently as well as how to change your grip and finish the Arm In Guillotine Choke should the person get their arms in the way.

If this is a move you were interested in then I hope this video helps!

Thanks for watching.
