The Best Jiu-Jitsu Search Engine in the World
Full video with analysis and lessons learned available in the related video link
Today’s BJJ Q&A video comes from a Brown Belt who asked a question back when he was a Blue Belt competitor. Today’s question isn’t about a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition and more about social dynamics with being promoted in our martial art.
I explain the situation in the video about him wondering if he could have multiple BJJ coaches be involved with promoting him to a BJJ Black Belt.
In the video I share 2 stories that may be useful. 1 was where I was a part of a co-promotion. The other is situation where I have 2 students who don’t get promoted by me.
Hopefully the video helps you if you’re in a similar situation?

Recently I got an email from one of the email readers about a video where BJJ was called mutilated. Basically a Gracie family member called the sport of BJJ and the way many gyms practice mutilated, incomplete and essentially said they were not as good as the traditional Gracie Jiu-jitsu style he learned.
Let me start by saying I have a deep sense of gratitude for the Gracie family. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have ever started training BJJ. But I think this criticism is a little off. Martial arts are a type of self expression that’s always evolving and changing.
Take for instance traditional Jujutsu which spawned Judo. Where Kano made changes to the training philosophy and focus for various reasons. Then Judoka went all over the world spreading Judo, doing challenge matches and also taught some Brazilians.
The Brazilians then modified the focus and created this thing called Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. When Masahiko Kimura faced Helio Gracie he wrote about the “soft mats” which lessened the damage of throws and the “Brazilian rules.”
Now the Gracies (and others) have spread BJJ around the world, just like Judo, and it’s evolving into something new just as all martial arts do. But there is no 1 governing body for BJJ like Judo and so it allows for much more creative expression but also steers away from direct control.
The cat is out of the bag so to speak and I think it’s a good thing.
So do I think BJJ and sport BJJ is a mutilated art? Not really. No more than Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is mutilated Judo or Judo mutilated Jujutsu. The world changes, things evolve and while it may not fit someone’s desires that’s just not how the world works.
Martial arts are ancient and will continue to evolve.
Thanks for watching the video.

Kesa Gatame is a powerful modified side control position for holding and controlling with some powerful submission opportunities. The submissions in this video are, in my opinion, the best options from here depending on the energy of the opponent.

This video is a look at some of the most common and difficult grips you’ll encounter in the gi game. Strong grips can be stifling, really disrupting your movement and threatening with sweeps and submissions. Knowing how to shut these grips down is tantamount to knowing how to effectively attack with them.
Here is a breakdown of the contents of this video from various positions, standing and ground, of the grips you’re likely to experience and how to shut them down.
• The Taylor Swift Lapel Break
• Knuckles-in Lapel Break
• Cross Collar Grip Mitigation
• Label Grip Strip
• Sleeve Grip Twist Break
• Knee Assisted Sleeve Grip Break
• Hip Bump Grip Break
• Radial Assist Grip Break
• Pant Grip Kick Strip
• Cross Side Kick Strip
• Cross Collar Duck Under
• X-Choke Defense
I hope you like these and get some good use from them for your training and competition. Let me know if you have questions about any others that I left out of this video.

The head and arm choke, or arm triangle, is one of the most versatile tools to have in your grappling arsenal. This submission is high-percentage and can be set up from many positions in many different ways. This video outlines some of the most useful places and times to use it.
Jared Jessup and I, both 2nd degree black belts, collaborate on this video to show some of our favorite, and what we believe to be the most helpful, setups of this choke.

Getting smashed in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is important! As a White Belt part of your beginning in BJJ is learning just how vulnerable you are. And when you get smashed and submitted by a higher level belt during rolling it makes you aware of the reality of the martial art.
In this video we have a newer BJJ White Belt who says he has submitted a Black Belt. He feels as though the Black Belt is actually using the full extent of their skill and that he is getting a legitimate tap on him.
His questions is whether or not he should lighten up on this Black Belt during training or keep going.
In this video, I share how I think the Black Belt is letting the White Belt work. I’m nice about it. And because I’m not there I don’t really know. But based on my almost 20 years of Brazilian Jiujitsu I have a good hunch what’s going on.
Many times experienced practitioners know the difficult road that lays ahead for the newcomer to Jiujitsu and so they try to ease the person into it slowly. Playing down significantly in their skill and ability.
In this video I describe a story from my gym to put the situation into context so that it can hopefully be helpful to our friend.
Thanks for watching the video.
