The Gift Wrap Position is a powerful modification on the technical mount, which gives you a lot of control over the bottom opponent. This allows you more ability to transition to the back, set up submissions, as well as great striking opportunities.

In this video, Jared Jessup and I explore the technical details of achieving, controlling and manipulating this position. Hope you like it.

The Dummy Sweep in BJJ is a great sweeping option that also goes great as a setup to Leg Lock positions. I believe the 1st time I saw this technique was from a video of Marcelo Garcia. After seeing the sweep I’ve used it as a part of my Open Guard ever since.

The reason they call it the Dummy Sweep because you’ll feel like such a dummy if someone hits you with the sweep.

Whether you’re a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu White Belt or Black Belt. If you don’t use this technique, or haven’t used it much, I think it can be really helpful.

Most recently one of my White Belts in class, Darien, has been using the Dummy Sweep a bunch. And I can say that I use the Dummy Sweep a lot as a standalone sweep or to setup other Open Guards positions.

So thanks for watching! I hope this technique is useful to you and your Brazilian Jiujitsu training.

When I compete in BJJ tournaments and competitions I’m not really focused on getting the gold medal. Do I want to win my matches? Of course, but I’ve found that when my mindset is fixated on winning or losing, or getting the gold medal, I lose sight of what I have to do to win. Which is COMPETE and use my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game to the best of it’s abilities.

I bring this up because our friend who is a new Blue Belt send a question in about losing the gold medal/winning mindset.

Basically, he took 2nd place as a White Belt and ever since then he’s been itching to get back after it and have a chance at winning a gold medal. So in pursuit of this goal he’s been training his butt off.

And with only 6 weeks prior to his competition his coach decided to promote him. Now, this would be a great thing, but now he’s worried about competing at a higher level.

He said that he’s lost the “I’m gonna go for the win and the gold medal” to “I’m just going to survive.”

Now we all want to win our matches in Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments. It goes without saying.

But in this video I’ll explain why I personally don’t like to compete with a fixation on winning.
Hopefully it’s help with your mindset in BJJ competitions.
