It’s not easy to get to the High Mount position when going against a skilled BJJ practitioner.

He will do everything in his power to keep his elbows close to his body. But there are some things that you can do…

I wanted to share a simple way to open his arms/elbows that I believe is very effective.

Also, I show some submission options from there.

Today’s question comes from out friend who is a Purple Belt in BJJ and he said he is overwhelmed with the amount of options he has available to him. He’s also worried about the fact that because Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is evolving so fast. If he picks a technique or position to focus on it will become obsolete.

In this video I share a few ideas. The 1st being that this is a real problem for higher belts. In the beginning when we are White Belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. There’s just so much that things can be overwhelming because we are so inexperienced and can’t use any of it.

But as we progress and improve to the point of Purple Belt, or even Brown and Black Belt in some cases, we are then faced with a new problem.

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is still overwhelming but not because our skill isn’t good. But instead, because are so fundamentally strong we have endless options available to us! We literally can use all of it! And that’s the focus of todays’ question.

I answer this question some helpful ideas that I hope will help you if you’re in a similar situation.

Thanks for watching!

Years ago, I learned a loop choke counter to the over under pass from a video that Bernardo Faria did with Jason Eames.

It’s something that I immediately added to my game. I caught countless people with it, and I’ve taught it as well. But lately I’ve been exploring alternative setups, and this is the result.

To see the video that I learned the original choke from, go here:

Once you get the overhook in closed guard, the first battle you have to fight is for angle, and that can be lost at times. If that happens, though, it’s not the end of the world. In fact, it might lead to some offensive possibilities like this bad boy right here. Give it a try.

I got asked about how to become more creative with BJJ. This question comes from our friend who is doing really well.

Things are moving along in a good way. His techniques are working just fine. But he wants to adapt things to create his own style like he sees others doing.

In this video I’ll talk about a rather uncreative way that creativity comes about in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game.

And it starts with the idea that techniques spread like infectious diseases.
For example.

I got thrown this Saturday. And not just with any throw. . .It was a beautiful throw.

It came at the hands of my buddy Dru ( a brown belt) who was in town this weekend.

He’s from south Florida and trained with Cyborg. And the throw he hit me with he learned that from Cyborg. Cyborg taught him this throw both by instruction and hitting him with it during rolling.

Now when he threw me in front of all of my students, did I get mad? Nah I actually laughed told him it was a “pretty” throw and kept rolling.

And then after we got done rolling I had him show me the technique so that I can drill it!

This is how techniques spread. From one person to the next like an infection or disease.

Each infected person making the technique their own.

Now with any disease after it gets cured or treated. It begins to adapt, right?

The same happens in Brazilian Jiujitsu. As you add new techniques to the mix. Your training partners will adapt to stop your moves and submissions. And then you’ll be forced to adapt them to new situations.

This adapting is a point where creativity often comes back in. Not by sheer creativity but from necessity.

I hope you enjoyed the ramble!

Professor Gustavo Gasperin teaches the first Lasso Guard Sweep that you should learn, and how to combine it with an Arm Drag when your opponent defends the initial sweep.

Iron sharpens irons. This is a saying we use often in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu which I believe originated from the Bible Proverbs 27:17.

The old saying sounds good but what does it mean?

There are obviously endless interpretations of just about any maxim or idea. But when I see the saying iron sharpens iron I see it this way. . .

If in order for me to grow, I have to have someone as hard, tough or as skilled as me.

With your BJJ training. If you only have people who are unable to really push you. You may find your game getting stagnant.

When you roll with your training partners in the gym and they stop your BJJ techniques. You should be almost excited it happened.

Why?

Because just like going into the gym and lifting weights where we break down and stress the muscles so they get bigger and stronger. When we are doing Brazilian Jiujitsu when someone stops our techniques from working. This is a similar situation.

Once they beat or stop our techniques during training. We then are forced to rise to a new level, to look for new ways, and it makes us more creative as well physically and mentally stronger.

So iron sharpens irons. If you’re in the gym and one of your training partners stops your techniques.

Be thankful, and look for a way to improve and do the same to them so that you can both develop further.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

So I get asked a question very often and I simply cannot answer it.

It get’s worded something like, “What’s the best technique in BJJ?”

If you’re experienced in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu you’ll know right off the bat that there isn’t one. The idea of a “best” technique is ridiculous.

If there was a best technique or position or anything like that. We’d all be doing that and only that.

But the reality is that Brazilian Jiujitsu offers a wide range of techniques and positions that favor certain body types and styles of play.

You only have to look around your gym or a competition where you can see a variety of different styles of BJJ in use. And the best part is, they all work!

It’s not like a sport such as basketball where there is a somewhat uniform look to the players.

Instead BJJ offers a wide range of body types and they’re all doing well.

So if you do decide to ask a question. Please do not ask me what the “best” technique is because I cannot give you that answer.

The best for me may not, and probably won’t, be the best for you.

Instead if you give me a specific problem that I can help solve related to your BJJ training or competitions. Then I can focus on that problem and try to be of service to you.

This is simply because I want to be of use to you and be helpful. And if I answered a “best” question I’d not be completely honest.

Thanks for all the questions you do send and I look forward to growing with you!

Getting beaten in BJJ is an essential way

In this video our friend is curious about the way he learns BJJ techniques.

He says during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training he has trouble remembering techniques. But whenever someone uses something against him and then teaches him. He remembers the information instantly.

he’s wondering what this is happening.

In this video I talk about how humans are kind of reactionary and they love to problem solve.

I also share how as a White Belt I didn’t want to play from Full Guard as a former Wrestler. I explain how it wasn’t until after some stinging losses

If you’re in a similar situation regarding Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques and not remembering them. Then hope this video is useful to you.

How to setup the basics half guard sweep

Master Ricardo showing Big Mike from RCBJJ -GORILLA JUDO /JIU-JITSU Oklahoma one basic sweep from half guard

One of my favorite positions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is X Guard and Single X Guard.

It ties right along with my Half Guard too which I consider my best position.

In this video I answer a question from out friend who is wanting to look at some entries into X Guard.

And before I get into the X Guard position itself. I want to stress the importance of Entries for our BJJ games.

Oftentimes people look for the cool sweeps, guard passes, submissions, etc but then they forget about the entries to get there.

Consider entries the starting point for any position or set of techniques in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Now in this video I show a simple way to get to X Guard from a Half Butterfly Guard.

I use this a lot if I’m struggling to get the Half Guard working for me on bottom.

Give the entry a try and see how it works for you!
