Have you ever heard of the term “Gym Enforcer” at your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu academy?

It’s a pretty simple idea. Just like the old hockey enforcers who were sent out to check certain players on the ice. A gym enforcer is there to check certain behaviors on the mat.

In this video our friend Dee was put in the position as gym enforcer by his coach.

There was a mat bully in the BJJ gym he trains at who was roughing people up unnecessary and not being safe. The coaches had talked to the guy. But he still continued.

So Dee, who is a BJJ Brown Belt, was told to put it on the guy and he did.

The bad part for Dee is that the guy hasn’t made it back to training since. And he feels like maybe he ruined someone’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu experience.

In this video I share that the idea of a gym enforcer in your Brazilian Jiujitsu gym is fairly common.

You don’t rough people up unnecessarily but you need people to be aware of reality.

If you were on a basketball team and you had a new player who wasn’t very good, but better than some, begin talking trash to the players. You might have one of the better players school him on the court to check the situation before it becomes negative to the whole team.

I also share how being a gym enforcer is helping maintain the safe boundaries inside of your gym and share a term I read in a book called Iron John.

The term is Walled Garden, and simply means establishing a secure place for us to cultivate ourselves.

This cultivation cannot happen if people are creating negativity inside the ranks of the gym.

Enjoy the video!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

In this video I’m sharing one of my BJJ rolls with my Brown Belt buddy Kenny from Nashville.

He’s a super tough Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitor who’s won and placed in some really big tournaments and I always enjoy getting a roll with him.

He’s another big guy who likes to get after it, so it’s always fun.

I wanted to share this video because many of you have asked for full rolls. And I think it also illustrates a great example of someone rolling at a good pace.

But not trying to kill one another.

At the end of the video I show him some of the moves that I was using during our roll like the side control escape and underhook fighting from Half Guard.

I hope you enjoy the video of our BJJ training and rolling from this past years Shawn Hammonds Team Training.
