In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question from a competitive BJJ Blue Belt who says that he is enjoying the variety that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu offers, but he says that with all this variety he is struggling to determine his best techniques and finding the balance between experimenting with new techniques and sharpening the old ones. He’s hit with dread information overload!

When you watch the video you’ll hear me talk about some main points.

The 1st one being that as a White Belt your job is to survive and do what you can. During this phase of BJJ training your options are much more limited. But as you progress you get a new found freedom almost like a teenager when they get their first car. At this point you can explore and do all sorts of things you couldn’t before.

At this point it becomes like a prospector from older times who would sift through dirt and sand to find gold.

So as you progress in BJJ you expand your techniques and sift through what works to find the best techniques for you.

I hope this video and the ideas I share in it are useful to you and your ability to develop your BJJ game.

Thanks for watching.

Today’s BJJ related question comes from a viewer who got into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training because he backed down in a street fight situation because of fear. Well recently he had a situation where someone was verbally aggressive with him. This leads into his question of whether or not all the BJJ training he is doing is a waste. Because while no fight happened, he’s wondering if he should have been more physical or verbally aggressive back at this other man.

In the video I describe the situation that took place and I give my personal take on the whole thing and self defense in general. I also share my thoughts about using Brazilian Jiujitsu in a street fight situation and why it’s good thing to avoid them, and why BJJ gives you the powerful ability to avoid them if it can be avoided rather than becoming emotional and escalating the situation.

I also referenced a video on aggression. You can watch that video here:

Hope you enjoyed video. Thanks for watching.
