Today’s question comes from Chris, a BJJ White Belt, who’s experiencing one of the most common problems new BJJ competitors run into when they compete early on.

He says that in the gym he’s a tough roll with any of the other White Belts, he can roll round after round in his gym and generally feels confident. But whenever he goes to BJJ competitions he’s not able to pull the trigger on his techniques, he gets tired in the 1st couple of minutes in the match, feels shaky and weak in his arms and legs and loses his matches.

Now I replied back to Chris about whether or not he put much attention to his warm up. He said he didn’t and so that’s where I place a lot of focus for this video. Because in my experience the warm up before a match can make or break your performance. And it’s something that experienced competitors pay close attention to while new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitors don’t.

Hope this video helps you if you’re in the same situation.

Is BJJ effective in MMA anymore? This is the guts of the question I got asked by Zinedine recently. So in this video I share some ideas to. . . chew on. . . as to whether or not I believe BJJ is still relevant in Mixed Martial Arts in todays current fighting arenas.

Some of this will probably be just basic “Duh” information. But this argument has been going on since I started training way back in 2003 (18 years ago). And apparently it’s still going. Which is strange to me because BJJ is still useful and effective.

The reality is that it’s just going to look different than it once did as all the martial arts are blending together.

So I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.

P.S I meant Big Nog in the video not Little Nog. Not sure why I said that.
