In today’s video I got a question from a young White Belt about whether or not he should up and leave their gym, move away from their hometown to train Jiu-jitsu with John Danaher or Andre Galvao or a similar big name team in order to be an elite level BJJ competitor.

To help out, I share a story from a recent Chewjitsu podcast episode we did with multiple time World Champion (and elite level BJJ competitor) Bernardo Faria where he talked about his start in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Early on he was training in a small town without any famous Black Belts and then eventually won the Purple Belt World Championships. Following that he moved to Alliance and began training with a big name gym.

But it was during the time at the smaller gym that he really developed that love and passion for Brazilian Jiujitsu and training. So in today’s video I share that idea with our young friend.

To develop the passion for BJJ training 1st and consider maybe moving later on should he decide it’s right. But as I talk about in the video. I’d advise against it early on because the look of success can be deceptive. Many people think they want it, but don’t realize what really entails.

Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

Gordon Ryan learns the art of tactics: Every Sunday (before this whole Coronavirus thing kicked in) Gordon and the squad come in to do a private class. We discuss a topic and get to practicing/sparring. One day Gordon was asking questions about match tactics. Usually he doesn’t bother with tactics at all – he just goes out on stage with the intention of controlling and submitting his opponent come what may – but as you can see – Mr Ryan may well be a true young master of control and submission – but he is a straight up white belt when it comes to devious tactics!!

Back in time: Here is an old clip from around 2005-6 featuring me teaching a young Georges St – Pierre the fine art of ashi garami entries from top position. I am contrasting traditional methods that focus upon ankle control and falling backwards away from an opponent, with an approach I often favor, focusing control on the area between the knee and hip and falling forwards into and across an opponent to set up strong heel hook and Achilles lock entries. This is an excellent application for MMA as legs often are used to defend against strikes and become quite vulnerable to a switch into leg locks. It’s a fun look back into the old days long before the squad, early GSP and of course…legendary haircuts…Apologies for horrendous video and sound quality – this was all long before the modern marvels of digital cameras and smart phones.
