One tip for BJJ white belts (or any belt level) to accelerate your BJJ progress.

In closed guard, the arm drag is a great way to give yourself a mechanical advantage in the position. And the grip you will learn in this video is one of the most effective methods I’ve learned to get that arm across the center line.

Then once it’s there, a whole host of options exist for finishing with the armbar, and we’ll explore three of them here.

But you be the judge.

In today’s video I answer a question from a White Belt about a situation that I think happens with just about every BJJ White Belt when they roll with higher belts or coaches.

When you watch the video think back to whether or not you had this experience early on in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. And if you’re a newer practitioner then think about whether or not it still happens.

And if it does happen then I hope the idea with mindset helps you overcome the obstacle I talk about in the video.

In today’s video I share some ideas on how I do belt promotions at my BJJ gym. To illustrate the answer for the person asking the question I share a story about 2 college wrestlers who trained at my gym. 1 got his Blue Belt while the other didn’t. There’s a lot of factors that led to this. But 1 in particular was the reason for withholding the promotion from 1 and then giving it to the other.

Keep in mind, at the time, both people were able to hang with a Black Belt in top positions.

Hope the idea is useful to you.

Chat with you next time.

In today’s BJJ Q&A video I share a quality that all of my best BJJ students share. I’m doing this in response to a question I received from a White Belt who’s been training for BJJ and is ready to quit because he’s not getting promoted.

Now obviously, this isn’t a great mindset. So I share some useful ideas for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. I share one of the most powerful lessons I’ve gained from BJJ training and trait that many of my best students share.

Hopefully this helps you if you’re in a similar situation.

Ever struggle with remembering Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques? If you’re like most of us, then I’m sure you have. Especially early on. And this is the main topic for today’s question that comes from Sarah who’s a White Belt and can’t seem to remember all the techniques from her BJJ Classes.

So, in the video I share some ideas on why not being able to retain each technique you learn is normal and why it’s not even necessary for being good at BJJ. Sure, overtime you’ll remember more and more of them. But it’s not like forgetting a couple of techniques you don’t use will break your ability to be a good BJJ practitioner. In particular I share a story from my high school wrestling days that illustrates why, and why I never got too worried when I didn’t remember each technique when I was coming up.

Hope the video is useful to you!

In today’s Q&A I answer a question from a White Belt with a strong wrestling base who is breaking the spirits of some of the higher belts in his gym.

He says he’s been training for over a year (mostly no gi) and came into BJJ with a strong wrestling background. During rolling he says he’s able to give many of the higher belts fits and, in some cases, beat some of them.

Well, he noticed that after beating some of the higher belts they seemed discouraged.

So his question is, should he keep doing what he’s doing or take it easy on them?

In the video I’ll address this question and lay out why taking it easy on them would not be a good idea.
