Avoid This “Muscling” Mistake with Drills as a New BJJ White Belt

June 2, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s video is based off a situation that happened with one of my brand new White Belts recently and my corrections I gave to him And it’s something I’ve done before. It’s also something I’ve seen a lot of newcomers to BJJ do as well.

The basic idea is that when you’re drilling a technique in BJJ for the first little bit. You want to be as fluid as possible to get the movement set. You don’t want to tense up and muscle everything. This is super important for newer Brazilian Jiiu-jitsu White Belts who try to go super fast or muscle things.

Not to say you’ll never need to muscle anything. But the idea is that if we train our Jiu-jitsu techniques to be as perfect as possible during the learning phase of the technique. Later when we are rolling and the natural stress of rolling creates a little sloppiness the technique will be good enough to hold up.

Hope the tip in the video helps!

A Perfect Time To Roll More and Develop Mental Toughness for BJJ

May 26, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s video comes from Alex who’s curious why we have to roll again with the same person after we submit them during a roll. He says that in a competition we wouldn’t roll with the person again, it would be 1 and done. But in the gym he beats someone and then is too tired to execute the same attacks again in a 2nd round.

In the video I explain why we roll again. I mean the main reason is it’s training and not competition.

But even from a standpoint of being focused on BJJ competitions. It’s super important to roll in situations where you’re fatigued and unable to easily use your best Jiu-jitsu techniques. Because as any competitor will agree. At some point you’re going to find yourself in the middle of the mat exhausted and still have time on the clock and an opponent pressing forward. And while this is happening you’ll experience a sort of mental battle where 1 side of you tells you to push forward while the other says back off.

To conquer this you’ve got to become comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Hopefully the video was useful to you in some way.

Thanks for watching!

How Do BJJ Black Belts Get Their Stripes & Promotions ?

May 24, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s video is a quick video about how BJJ Black Belts get their stripes and promotions.

So in the video I share the basics of how I’ve been promoted and how the common stripe/belt promotion practice takes place for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belts. Now, I’m sure some systems could be different than the one I outline here. But this is the basic time requirements I’m familiar with and have been exposed to in my training.

Here’s a blog post with the chart that I was going off of: https://www.chewjitsu.net/2021/05/how-do-bjj-black-belts-get-their-stripes-promotions/

In the video I also share how old I’ll be when I can get the Red/Black and the final Red Belt of Jiu-jitsu. Since I was promoted to Black Belt when I was 26, I’ll be eligible for the final rank of BJJ when I am 89 years old.

. . . Let’s see if I even make that.

Anyways, hope the video was useful to you or at the very least maybe slightly entertaining based on how old I’ll be to get a Red Belt.

Is Training in a Hot BJJ Gym with No Air Conditioning Beneficial ?

May 17, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s video comes from Silas who’s curious about potential benefits to training in a BJJ gym that doesn’t have air conditioning. In the video I share some ideas that might be useful to him in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training based on his question. I also share some potential benefits to training in a gym without AC.

That said, I personally like having a gym with air conditioning so I can control the temperature so it doesn’t get too hot and impede training.

Either way, hope the video is useful to you if you had a similar question.

What’s The Difference Between Anaconda, Darce & Brabo Chokes ?

May 12, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In today’s BJJ technique video I show some basic details about the Anaconda Choke, Darce Choke and Brabo Choke. Mainly the differences of what they are, what they look like, how they work and some ideas on how to set them up in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu rolling or competing.

The question comes from one of our viewers who’s curious about all 3 of them and the differences to them.

So hopefully if you’re newer to BJJ this will help you understand which chokes are which.

Again, keep in mind this is a brief run down of them. All three of these submissions are complex options with lots of setups in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. So if you have more specific questions feel free to ask in the comments.

Thanks for watching the video.

Hand Fighting Rounds & Rolling With a Tough Young Fighter / BJJ Competitor

May 5, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Today’s BJJ rolling video starts off with some hand fighting rounds to give everyone a chance to work on an Arm Drag series we had been doing. Grip fighting in the gi and hand fighting in no gi Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is super important in my bearded opinion. So basically during these rounds we locked up, moved around and went for arm drags but never finished any takedowns.

Afterwards we had full rolling. One of the rounds I had was with a tough young guy who was visiting our gym (he’s a friend of 1 of our Blue Belts). He’s a solid young BJJ competitor and MMA fighter.

Later on in the rolling you’ll see me hit an arm drag technique I was working.

You can check his stuff out at:

As always I hope you enjoyed the rolling videos.

Which Age Division Should This 30 Year Old BJJ Blue Belt Do?

May 3, 2021 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In today’s video is I answer a question about whether someone should do the Adult or Masters division in a BJJ competition. The video comes from someone who is right at 30 years old which gives them the option of competing as an Adult or competing in Masters.

He had planned on doing the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament at the adult category but his coach said he wanted him to do masters. And his question is just to get some perspectives on the differences between the two.

That decision is ultimately up to you whether you want to compete at the younger division or not. But hopefully from the video you’ll get some ideas to chew on to make the decision easier.
