Can I get Good at BJJ without Competing ?

March 23, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

A common question that gets asked by newcomers to BJJ is whether or not you have to compete to be good at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This was the exact question I received from one of the viewers. He’s curious whether or not he has to compete to become good at Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In the video I share my thoughts on whether or not BJJ competitions are a must for progression in the Martial Art / Sport.

I also touch on the ideas of how I think tournaments and competitions can be beneficial to someone’s progression if not entirely a necessity.

I know that wrongly when I was a White Belt in BJJ. I thought that you had to do BJJ competitions.

As I’ve gotten older with years of experience under my belt I’ve realized the error of this thinking.

If you’re someone who is interested in BJJ competitions or curious about their necessity , I hope this video is helpful to you!

Thanks for watching!

Received a great question about feeling worthy of a belt promotion and the simple answer to the question is, no… I’ve never felt completely worthy and I explain why that doesn’t matter.

March 4, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this video, I discuss how to escape the mount when your opponent is trying to lock an Americana on you. This will not only help you survive the submission but get you out of mount as well. This is a simple little move guys. And very effective. You will be able to incorporate this into your game immediately and get the results you are looking for. Give this one a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Headlock Control Series!

March 3, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is a fantastic little submission chain of techniques that I like to teach from my white belts and beyond. The Headlock Control Series. Now when you pass your opponents guard. To get the ‘headlock control’ you will need both the head and the arm. Just getting the head in control only works on your baby brother when you were playfighting as kids. But that’s only the beginning. There are many variables at play and to get that submission on an experienced grappler, you will need to use all of them and in unison. But when you do…oh, boy – so powerful! Watch this video in detail guys. Take your time, as there are many details involved and it’s the nuances that count. As usual, please give it a go on the mat and let me know how you go…

Cradle Attack Series – One Arm Anaconda!

March 1, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Now for part 3 of my cradle attack series and I have saved one of my favourites until the last. This is a really neat little submission and I found it difficult to find the origin of the name. It’s kinda like a one arm Anaconda. But with a squish at the end? Anyway, whatever it’s called, it works. And I really enjoy this. It is surprisingly strong and I think can catch many people off guard because of its inherent strength. Check out this video guys and give this a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Finish That Ankle Lock!

February 25, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I like to teach straight ankle locks to my white belt students. I think getting a good understanding of this part of the game early on in your Jiu-Jitsu career puts you in great shape as you progress through your game. However, many white belt students give up on Ankle locks early because they can’t seem to finish them. And the blame is placed on the Anklelock, or ‘it just doesn’t work for me’…but the reality is, the weakness is in the execution, not the technique. In this video, I give some tips on how to significantly improve the quality of your Ankle locks so that you can get that tap – every time. Give this a try on the mat guys and let me know how you go…

3 White Belts Mistakes To Avoid. So You Don’t Get Tapped

February 24, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

One thing that you learn very quickly when you enter a Jiu-Jitsu Academy for the first time and start rolling with experienced practitioners. You get tapped quickly, often and seemingly with ease. It’s frustrating and massively ego depleting. So much so that very few attend the next class. That’s a pity. Because, Jiu-Jitsu, if you allow it – will change your life for the positive. No matter who you are and what your life circumstances. Now having said that being tapped is no fun. Particularly if you don’t know why. So, in this video, I would like to lay out 3 simple tips that will help you not make the usual beginner mistakes that will get you tapped. And hopefully, that surviving will build the confidence to come back and roll another day. Enjoy guys. And as usual, give this a go on the mat and let me know how you do…

Hip Escape Hacks!

February 16, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

We often learn the hip escape on our first day of Jiu Jitsu class. Often even just as the warm-up. But when we are up against a skilled practioner who has you in side control and is controlling you with pressure and stopping your hips from moving. Well, that’s just another story. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be doing the hip bump escape. It means we need to bring other aspects to the game. In this video, I discuss some tricks and hacks to give you some help. They are great little techniques guys and you should be able to use the straight away. Give them a try on the mat and let me know how you go…
