The Worst Type of BJJ Videos to Study (If You Want to Improve)

Gary Berger — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 19:54:16 +0000

Today we have a question from Brennan, a self-proclaimed over-scroller on social media.

He said that he continues to come across techniques online (specifically short-form content) and sees stuff that he would like to use for his Jiu-Jitsu training.

However, even though he saves a bunch of these videos, he said he never uses them.

Now he’s a Blue Belt and is trying new stuff out on White Belts & wonders if there are any tips I have for him to use all the short-form techniques he finds scrolling through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pages.

P.S. This is totally my opinion.

But there tends to be a lack of nuance in many of those short-form videos (not that they’re completely bad), and in today’s video, I’ll explain to Brennan, and the rest of you watching, why I look at short-form techniques as potato chips vs. long form/instructionals/classes as steak.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Why You Should Watch BJJ Videos Like Your Favorite Netflix Movie

Gary Berger — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 20:00:00 +0000

With the endless number of BJJ technique videos out there. How useful are they for your live training when you get to the gym? This is the question from Amir who wants to know how valuable videos are for his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I give some ideas to consider both from my experience as a coach teaching students and even from my experience as a student who used videos to improve (this one is a story about me as a BJJ White Belt watching videos to hit a slick armbar in training.)

All of this is to explain that BJJ videos (technique or otherwise) can help increase your overall BJJ IQ and help you learn inside your gym faster. Another idea I picked up from a great courses lecture is about how watching videos and even doing mental reps could help you do real physical reps better later on.

Anyways, hopefully the information in the video will give you some useful ideas to chew on for your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training.

Thanks for watching!
