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.

In today’s video I answer a question about the Flower Sweep and Pendulum Sweep from Full Guard. I’ll also show how I personally set them up and when I’ll go for 1 over the other. These are 2 incredibly strong fundamental BJJ sweeps from full guard that can also be used for setups and other submissions.

Like any set of techniques in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu they’re tools that need to be used at the right times.

Hopefully through the video you’ll get a better idea at what these sweeps are, how they work, when to use them and how to set them up.

Here’s an old video of a Flower Sweep I taught: https://youtu.be/JrW9IIlYs14

Hope the video is useful to you!

In today’s video I share a tip that came from a recent conversation I had with Renzo Gracie Black Belt Shawn Williams on our Chewjitsu Podcast. The podcast is already out. So check it out wherever you listen to podcast.

It’s also available on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTSmtpFVLcZGS7G599_vCow

Anyways, during the podcast he gave a tip on how to train more BJJ and get injured less. It’s a tip many of us (who have trained for 20+ years) have learned.

It’s a simple tip and definitely doesn’t apply to all rolling and training situations in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. But it can still be super useful to get more mat time in with less injuries.

And this is important because more mat time is what progress is built on. So more mat time and less injuries (which also means more mat time) means you’ll have more chances to work on your game.

Hope the tip is helpful.

Today’s video is focused on 2 of the lessons I’ve learned from Wrestling and BJJ. These are lessons from situations we all experience through grappling. But it’s ones that have helped me in innumerable ways off the mat.

This video came about because I’ve received several questions over the years about “How has BJJ helped me in life” or “What has Brazilian Jiu-jitsu taught me that I can use off the mats?”

And so in this video I identify 2 valuable lessons I’ve picked up through grappling.

Hopefully the lessons will be useful to you as well.

In this video I show a fundamental sweep from Full Guard for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that I teach all of my White Belts. During the demo in the video I show how I use the Kimura sweep in BJJ and then also show one of the reason I love it as a fundamental move.

As I’ll talk about, the move itself is effective. But it’s so useful in off-balancing our opponent and setting up other techniques like triangle chokes, guillotines and so on.

So if you’re looking for a basic sweep to use from Full Guard then I hope this is helpful.

Also, here is a playlist with more details on using and finishing the Kimura from Full Guard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXCdU94TRic&list=PL5awtUfQsILrte3-jOKd2GP3qeHV7qg1C

Thanks to KC for the question!

Today’s video is about a young guy who is getting ready for a competition and has recently been promoted. Like most people at a new belt he doesn’t feel ready at this new level of his BJJ and is worried about letting his Jiu-jitsu coach down.

He says his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach is not just a coach. He’s a friend, a mentor and someone he looks up to. This young guy has also become one of the better competitors inside the gym.

And with that, he’s worried that if he competes and loses that he’ll let his coach down or possibly change the dynamic between their relationship.

In this video I share some ideas on how most of the coaches I know judge people. I’ll also share some ideas on how to accept losing in grappling competitions (or anything really).

Hope the video is useful to you.

Today’s video is all about Cross Collar chokes in the gi and the small details that make them work in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This technique video is partly an attempted to help my newer White Belt and Blue Belt BJJ practitioners. But also an attempt to share some useful details on making collar chokes (like the X choke) work from Guard.

You see for a long time with my Jiu-jitsu training I just didn’t have much success with collar chokes. I just figured they “weren’t my thing” or however you want to word it. But after picking up some small adjustments on the wrist, holding times and gripping the collar. Now I’m much more successful with collar chokes during rolling.

Hopefully the video will be useful to you and your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Today’s rolling video is a primarily focused on me using a mixture of back takes and armbars.

In particular you’ll see the shotgun armbar used as well as some of the rolling back takes I’ve used in competition recently. If you watch you’ll also see me fail with the shotgun armbar and have to switch to other options.

Hope you enjoy the video and that it sparks some ideas for you and your training.

Will BJJ training get you ripped? That’s the basic question from our buddy Brandon. He said he’s been thinking about getting into BJJ primarily because he was to lose a few pounds.

He’s seen where a lot of people get in shape with the “gentle art” and was wondering if it would help him in his quest to get abs that he can wash his clothes on in a pinch.
​
I’ll confess the last part was my own addition. . .

To answer Brandon’s question and maybe yours if you were curious about the same thing. The answer is a big resounding no.

Simply put. Diet is the building block that your performance and health is based upon. And when it comes down to losing weight it boils down to calories in and calories out.

​In the video I’ll talk more about how Brazilian Jiu-jitsu can help you lose weight but how it’s not the only thing that’s needed if you want to lose weight and get leaner.

#UFC260 #UFC

Today’s BJJ Q&A is about a guy who’s a bit of a BJJ escape artist and he says it’s creating a problem when he travels to other gyms. Here’s what’s going on. . .

The Brazilian Jiu-jitsu student asking the question is flexible and is able to fight out of some seriously tight spots when caught in submissions. Well when he travels to other gyms, people don’t always know that he’s able to maneuver like he does and thinks that he’s just trying to avoid getting submitted and being irresponsible.

So he sends a message with a specific situation that happened during one of his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu travels and wanted to know what I’d do in the situation.

In the video I explain how to use this situation as a great training tool.

Thanks for watching the video!
