In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, there is typically a grip needed to finish a technique. Whether this is a Choke, Armlock or whatever.
Oftentimes I find that if I’m very focused on getting that finishing grip quickly, my success with the technique shoots up dramatically.
For instance if I’m doing a choke.
If I get what I call the “Kill grip” I’m usually able to finish the technique.
When I say “Kill Grip” I’m speaking about the the grip that’s essential to finishing the technique I’m looking for.
In this video I answer a question from Max who says he’s having people tuck their necks and defend his submission attempts with chokes during BJJ training.
So in this video I discuss the getting the best grip quickly for whatever technique you’re looking for during rolling or competitions.
The big focus with chokes is to get the deepest grips in the collar or around the neck possible. This way the person doesn’t have a chance to stop the submission.
I hope the video is helpful with your Brazilian Jiujitsu training or competitions.

BJJ, Boxing, Judo, Sambo, Wrestling and all of the Combat Sports commonly used in MMA are incredible for creating inner discipline.
But not in a direct way. Rather, it’s often in an indirect way.
During the stress of hard training you’re often faced with the darker sides of your personality. The sides of your personality that often don’t show up in a day to day basis.
For instance if you get angry. You will learn in hard training session that you cannot train with anger. And so when the angry side of your self pops up you have to control it.
In the video I talk about how when I started Boxing. My EGO was a big problem for me. And through the hard sparring sessions I had to learn to be in better mental control.
This video is a response to the question asked by our friend who was in a Street Fight situation. During which he grappler the person but did not throw any punches.
After the fight he said he felt kind of “soft” because he didn’t throw any punches.
In this video I talk about the control we learn from combat sports and how it’s useful for making stronger both physically as well as mentally. After all the aim is self-defense. To defend yourself, not to harm people for no reason.
I hope you find the video helpful!

A lot of newcomers to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu get really worried about weight classes in BJJ tournaments.
In this video I answer a question from a viewer who is looking to gain a little muscle and weight.
He says that years ago he felt great being bigger and stronger. And his girlfriend even enjoys him being a bit bigger.
But his worry is about going into a heavier weight class when he enters Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions.
And he is wondering if his added strength will offset the size difference when he finds himself in BJJ competitions.
During the video I try to share the idea that you don’t always roll with people of the same weight class in the gym.
And if you feel healthier and more vibrant from the weight training. Then it’s only going to be a positive thing in your life.
If you’re in a similar situation or if you’re thinking about gaining weight for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu then I hope this video is helpful.

In today’s video we’re talking about how to roll with smaller people in BJJ.
Our question comes from Tommy who is a strong Wrestler who has a distinct advantage on the feet because of his wrestling skill.
He says that when he rolls with people he feels a certain level of guilt with his rolling partners.
The guilt associated with it is because if they’re smaller, he feels like maybe he should take it easy on them.
But he feels guilty to himself for not taking advantage of the situation to attack and work on his techniques.
In this video I discuss the approach I use with my Brazilian Jiujitsu training partners and what has been helpful to me on the mats and has made my game so much better than it used to be.
As I’ll talk about in the video. When I first began BJJ training. I used my A Game every roll.
I would go hard and just use the same techniques over and over again. But it wasn’t until I put a lot of effort into opening up and rolling with people differently that my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu abilities improved at a rapid rate.
I hope you enjoy the video. And if you’re in the same situation. I hope the video is useful!

Has Brazilian Jiu-jitsu impacted you in a positive way? Have you ever had old friends drag you down in a negative way?
This is the kind of issue Dennis is having for today’s BJJ question.
Basically Dennis used to have substance abuse issues. And since he started doing Brazilian Jiujitsu. The training has provided a positive outlet in his life where he doesn’t need to use drugs or anything like that.
This is great right?
Well the issue is that his old friends that still use drugs have a habit of calling him up to hang out. Whenever they hang out they always end up doing drugs or eating terrible food.
Most recently Dennis had to call off a BJJ training session because he was too messed up to make it.
His question to me is if I’ve ever had any friends like this where I required separation and how I dealt with it.
In this video I share about how my best friend as a young guy was a drug addict but how I had to separate from him to go my own way.

Here are the 7 things to teach your kids about overcoming failure:
?1. Not Everybody Gets A Trophy:
Somewhere along the line we became a society that preached instant gratification. Like a giant carnival, our slogan became “everybody wins all the time.” We know it’s not true. It’s also a terrible example to set. Losing is every bit as important in human growth as winning. Rewarding your child for doing nothing will teach him just that. Nothing. ?2. Everyone Has Different Talents:
There are just some things we aren’t cut out for. It’s best to learn that at an early age. The good news is that they are a champion at something. Guide them towards where their gifts lie.
?3. Have Class:
What is one of the most flattering descriptions a person can hear? “He sure has a lot of class.” “She sure was a great sport about it.” Are you teaching your children how to fail with dignity? How a person accepts failure is an easy indicator of the character within. It also almost guarantees future success. Respect is gained outwardly and inwardly. ?4. Learning From Mistakes:
Mistakes humble. They can hurt. Yet without them, we are stagnant. Every mistake we make is an educational experience. Every success is built upon a foundation of errors and corrections.
?5. Teaching Others:
When we fail, we gain experience. It’s important to share that knowledge. Use it to mentor others experiencing similar difficulties. Instill in your children the responsibility to share their mistakes in hopes to save another from making the same.
?6. Leave It All On The Field:
Boxing legend Joe Frazier once said, “If I lose, I’ll walk away and never feel bad because I did all I could. There was nothing more to do.” The most common phrase in sports has to be “leave it all on the field!” Explain to your kids to never cheat themselves on effort and they will always gain from it. No matter the outcome.
?7. Perseverance:
Determination wins many victories. We should not allow our children to give up on themselves. Help him pick himself back up and try again. Perseverance will lead to positive results and a lifelong lesson never to be forgotten. ⚡️ @fighsportsmiami @fightsportskids
The Art of Learning series is dedicated to providing you with a conceptual framework to interpreting your Jiu Jitsu. With this understanding you will be able to analyse your techniques to see the concepts and principal that they work under and really refine/deeply understand in both gi and nogi, the core elements of your Jiu Jitsu.
What do I put in my gym bag for BJJ tournaments? I get this question pretty often.
But recently, there was a fun story from the IBJJF No Gi Pans which made me consider actually doing the video.
I was sitting in on the 1st day watching matches and a brown belt from Marcelo Garcia’s gym and I were talking. One of his teammates didn’t have the proper clothing to compete.
Jirel took out a spare set of shorts he had and handed them off to him. Then jokingly looked at me and said I should make a video on what to bring for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournaments.
While it was a joke, I think it was a great idea.
I know that many times there are so many questions for new competitors. So if I can share a few tips, why not.
In this video I share the stuff I bring with me to Brazilian Jiujitsu tournaments.
I include the gear I bring.
The food and supplements I bring or use.
And I also include the type of tools I use to warm up with prior to the match.
If you’ve got a BJJ competition or match coming up. Then I hope this video proves useful to you and gives you some ideas on the types of things you should bring with you for tournaments.
Thanks for watching and I hope the video was helpful.

Should you scout out your opponent for BJJ competitions or should you focus on your own gameplan?
And when preparing for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament does it change from White to Black Belt?
It’s different for everyone. But for me, I don’t like scouting out my opponents too much.
As I talk about in the video. When I went to BJJ competitions and focused too much on what my opponent was going to do. I didn’t execute my own game plan effectively.
And whenever I competed and didn’t have time to look people up. I was able to perform much better.
I will still glance at my opponent’s if I can, but only a glance. Just enough to know some of the techniques or strategy they may execute.
So if you’re like me. You might find it beneficial to not scout your opponents out too much and simply go in with a focus on your game plan, your techniques and jiu-jitsu abilities.
Hope the video is helpful!
