If you’re forced to roll with higher belts in BJJ, will it hinder your progress? This is the question today from a White Belt who’s recently been placed into a higher level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class.

Here’s what happened. His BJJ coach divided the training groups up due to covid concerns. He had the White Belts go to 1 class time. And then the colored belts (Blue, Purple, Brown, Black) to another. Well our friend was the lone White Belt who got plugged into the higher belt class.

So his question is about whether or not this situation will hinder his Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I share some perspectives from my own experience in the hopes that they’ll be useful to anyone in a similar situation.

I hope the video is useful to you!
Thanks for watching.

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

Here is what you’ll get if you join my channel:

In addition to the video a week I upload for free to the public, you will get a bunch of other instructional footage filmed in the classes I teach weekly.

You will also get footage of the seminars I teach and have taught at different locations. Depending on which tier you sign up for, you may get the entire seminar.

I will answer questions as quickly and thoroughly (sometimes in a video response) to technical issues regarding your training.

There are some cool badge and emoji features, chat features and other interactive parts that you only have access to as a channel member. There will also be periodic live feeds and hangouts for members only.

Did I mention how cheap this is compared to a lot of other online subscription services that don’t offer nearly the amount of instructional content I put out? Well, it is.

I appreciate every viewer, subscriber and member that comes here to watch my videos. You guys are amazing and have helped me to put out and improve the quality over the years, and I pledge to keep doing so. This service will help make that happen.

Thank you all again!

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!

Here is a short clip of one of our No Gi BJJ classes. This class was during one of our Friday Footlocker class which is generally a big hit with the students.

In the video you’ll see me rolling with the guys. You’ll see a couple of leg locks hit and a Mono Plata sometimes called a Marceloplata and I call it the Ugly Armbar.

I hope you enjoy the short No Gi BJJ training session here at my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym in Louisville, KY.
