BJJ Q&A: Is it better to drill with a training partner or use a grappling dummy?
Today we’ve got a question from Luke, a White Belt, who is having a problem that many White Belts in Jiu-Jitsu are going to have.
I had this problem as a White Belt, and per many of your messages, many of you also have.
So, he sends me a message and says he’s done 8 months of BJJ, 4 days a week, and he’s a younger grappler. He states that when he rolls, the higher belts will make remarks after the roll, scolding him, saying something to the effect of “stop being a spazzy White Belt/you’re rolling too hard/chill out, etc.”
He even says that he takes the comments to heart and tries his best to ease up and be more relaxed when he rolls.
But, even when he does this, the comments continue to come.
He’s frustrated with the situation and ask if I have any ideas on how to fix this issue.
In the video I’ll try to give a couple of solutions that can help out Luke and any other white belts who are running into this problem.
Thanks for watching, hopefully you found this video helpful!

Today we’ve got a question from a bigger White Belt named Lee.
He’s been training for about a year and is finally climbing up the “pecking order”, especially for the less experienced guys in the room.
At this point he is finally getting the better of the newer white belts, but he has a question about rolling with them.
He wonders if he should allow them to work a little bit, which is what he says he does now, or if he should I just roll like “normal” and go after them.
He doesn’t want to seem overconfident or arrogant though, and so he’s not sure if “letting them work” is a good look.
Lee is also wondering what my philosophy is when I roll with less experienced grapplers or brand-new white belts.
In this video I’ll answer Lee’s initial question & share with you guys how I go about training with less experienced people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how I get the most out of the roll: both helping that person grown & making myself better at the same time.
Hopefully this video answers your question Lee, and if any of you had a similar question then I hope you found it helpful too!

Recently I got a question from a White Belt who has recently looked to add more Back-Takes to his game.
So, I figured it I would show you guys one of the best ways to get to back mount that works well for White Belts and will continue to work well for you untill you’re a Black Belt.
This one is a Jiu-Jitsu back take that is super fundamental, and works at any level, while also being simple enough to not overwhelm the average BJJ practitioner.
The reason why I’m showing this as a “White Belt” video is becuase this is 1 of the techniques I show early on to my newer BJJ students that works really well for them when it comes to getting to back mount.
Hopefully you find these ideas helpful if you were struggling to take the back.

Today we get a question coming from a BJJ White Belt named Scott.
He says that he rolled with his coach a few months ago, just flowing and feeling good about the roll, but a few months later they rolled again…
This time his coach put it on him. Smashed him: submitting him constantly in the round without giving an inch to Scott.
He says that he felt really discouraged after the round, but his coach gave him some serious words of encouragement after the smashing. Still, it stings.
He asked why his coach would beat him up so bad on the practice mats and wonders what he gains from being smashed so badly by his coach?
In this video I’ll give you my perspective about what’s going on, especially if I were the coach in this situation working with Scott (but of course I could be wrong)

Today we have a question from a self-proclaimed “Spazzy” White Belt.
He’s curious about the difference between someone who’s the master of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques vs. someone who knows those same BJJ techniques but is not quite a “master” at them yet.
He says the highest percentage submissions at a high-level competition are always the most basic: Arm bars, kimuras, triangles, rear naked chokes, etc.
He asks if I can explain what the different between a master and a novice of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu using the same techniques?
He can’t understand how the highest-level competitors still get caught in the most fundamental jiu-jitsu techniques.
In this video I’ll try to dive into this question through the lense of “invisible Jiu-Jitsu” and principle founded by Rickson Gracie, plus a few more ideas about learning to “feel” in BJJ.

Today’s video comes from a BJJ coach who’s curious about how I tame my wild White Belts.
So in the video I give some ideas on how to integrate White Belts into full on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training, and how to do so while keeping things safe and not letting their “wildness” get out of hand.
I also discuss a few other ideas that I think sometimes get in the way when people are dealing with newer BJJ students (in regards to ego).
If you’re a coach of some sort and running BJJ classes then I hope the video helps you!

Today’s video is a short Q&A video from Origin’s BJJ Immersion Camp in Maine. During the sessions this week I got a chance to speak with hundreds of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and so on. If you’re one of them, it was cool meeting you!
A couple of blue belts came up to me asking questions about their grips burning out and getting tunnel vision during their rolling. After listening to their situation, I gave them some simple advice. Something that helped me with my BJJ.
Now the advice is very simple and can be applied by anyone from white belt to black belt. But it doesn’t make it easy! Like anything else in BJJ, you have to put things into action with practice.
So, if you struggle with your grips burning out during BJJ competitions and rolling, then I hope the video helps.

Today’s video is a question from a guys who is technically a “White Belt” but has around 15 years of MMA and grappling experience.
His issue is he feels a certain level of discomfort rolling with guys who are the same rank as him but he has 15x more experience then. Also, when he rolls with many of the higher belts he feels uneasy beating them even though he’s the new guy in the gym.
So, in the video I share a story of situation that happened in my gym that was very similar. It was with a guy who is now a Brown Belt but who started training with us as a White Belt after he stopped fighting professional MMA.
Thanks for watching.

In today’s video I address a common problem that affects many new BJJ practitioners, especially hobbyists.
And today’s question comes from a fella named Luke who’s a White Belt just starting out in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he wants to learn how to maximize his progress with his 3-day a week schedule. Now, he’s not trying to be a high-level competitor, he’s not worried about belts, he’s just doing this as a journey for himself.
So, in the video I talk about this idea and why you want to avoid this idea of maximizing anything, especially if you’re a hobbyist.

Recently 1 of my smaller BJJ students was asking questions about how to add top pressure in Side Control. So, I gave them a few tips that helped them out and I figured I’d share them with you.
As a smaller person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu you can certainly add top pressure. But you’ve got to me more deliberate than say a 300lbs person who can have sloppy positioning but still feel like a ton of bricks. And the video will give you some ideas on how to do that.
That said, all of the stuff that I talk about in the video is perfectly useable for a bigger person too. They’re sound fundamentals. But again, if you want to have strong pressure on top of side control and don’t want to get rolled, then they’re even more important if you’re not a massive person.
Hope the video is useful to you.
