When your opponent stands up in the closed guard, there is a moment when you can force them to rely on you for their base. If your timing is right this sweep can be easy to hit.

The debate between ‘sport’ and ‘self defense’ BJJ has been overblown because good jiu-jitsu is always better than bad jiu-jitsu. If your focus is on self defense then find the best BJJ school you can and, if necessary, supplement that training with a little bit of boxing, kickboxing or MMA training to become comfortable in the striking zone rather than going to a lesser school that claims to teach special ‘self defense’ BJJ techniques. The magic is all in the training against resistance and dealing with pressure, and it is much easier to adjust technique on the fly than it is to suddenly develop the capacity to deal with someone who is using all their strength, energy and willpower to crush you!

I am a big believer in backup plans at all stages. These are some very late considerations for escapes I refer to as Hail Marys. These are definitely not what you want to have as your primary or only option for escapes, and you would obviously like to never find yourself in these threats at all, but for last-second counters they are pretty solid.

A lot of these exist, but for time constraints I just chose some of my favorites.

Recently I posted a video about a guy who was injuring all the women in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/p3-t6q0bnM4

In the video I responded to a coach who was dealing with an overly aggressive grappler who was running off all of the women.

Many people responded negatively to the video saying I shouldn’t treat women in BJJ different than men in BJJ.

That we are equal and should be treating accordingly.

And in addition they said that for self defense purposes, I wasn’t preparing women properly.

As a coach for a decade. I can assure you that women and men are biologically not the same.

And typically speaking their societal conditioning isn’t either.

While there are men who are less physically imposing than some women.

For the most part. Men are large and more physically imposing than women.

And keeping that in mind I personally attempt to give women a chance to learn without getting the crap kicked out of them in every training session.

And just to be clear. This is the training method I use with all the people that come into the gym to take on Brazilian Jiujitsu. Men and women.

And when it comes to BJJ for self defense. The stress tolerance BJJ builds takes time!

The techniques of BJJ are useless if they are not accompanied with the ability to handle stress in physical confrontations.

You may know lots of techniques, but what can you do when faced with another person who tries to fight back?

Most people, men or women, are not equipped for that situation. Even if they think they are. And so building people up slowly allows us to build up someone properly.

I hope this video clears things up and makes sense.

This video offers 6 of the most common and difficult positions one might encounter in a fight when on the ground vs a striking opponent. These are the some of the best options I have learned and used in such situations.

This is a video for people who I often hear say things like “I just want to know enough to avoid or get off the ground in a fight.” I hear this a lot from people, primarily stand-up striking practitioners, regarding learning jiu-jitsu or wrestling. They don’t want to extensively train in grappling arts, and only want to learn those techniques that will help them avoid being taken down or help them get out of a ground grappling situation.

I don’t think anyone wants to be in a fight longer than they have to. I think even grapplers want to exist the grappling range (and fight all together) as soon as possible. But there are no shortcuts. These techniques from this video must be trained to a level of proficiency and drilled with intensity if they are ever expected to be performed in real-life encounters.

Train safely and smart. Thanks for watching and please like, subscribe and share.

Here is a simple technique that can drastically change your game. The bear trap can come from many different scenarios. In this video and often the easiest way to get to the trap, we look at the basic entry from a half butterfly hook. This is a fairly quick overview of the technique, If there is a desire in the comments, I can post a much more thorough version… just let me know 🙂 Enjoy!

3 last ditch options for escaping form the gift wrap position in BJJ, submission grappling, MMA and self defense.

The open guard is an essential position in BJJ, but it can also be very confusing for beginners. In this video I show you the two most common errors people make when they start incorporating this position into their game.

Here’s a checklist of the most common forms of open guard: https://www.grapplearts.com/a-glossary-of-guards-part-2-the-open-guard/

And here’s a breakdown of the Tripod Sweep technique I mentioned in the video above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p-2qBPL9tM

This is an extremely dangerous situation that should be obviously avoided at all costs. Should you ever find yourself at gunpoint, do everything reasonably possible to accommodate the aggressor.

However, if the situation calls for it, it is best to be prepared through training of solid techniques like these for gaining control of the weapon. These are some of the most fundamentally solid methods for disarms I have ever trained that I am sharing here.

Train smart and safely, and do everything you can to avoid ever being in situations like the ones I reference in this video.

Just having a little fun after practice. These guys are both my students and both are white belts.

“How can I beat someone better than me?” I get this question a lot and you might be wondering the same thing too. The answer is that you have to find at least one area, either technical or physical, where you are better than he is. In the video I give lots of examples of what this might look like on the mats.
