The culture in BJJ has a lot of people who use marijuana/cannabis/weed regularly as something that helps open up their creativity during training or relax them at night. In today’s video I got a question from our friend who has friends who say that smoking marijuana before training opens up their game and always them to be more creative. And he’s curious what my experiences with it and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu are.

I preface this whole video with the fact that I don’t smoke regularly. I’ve done it a few times and don’t dislike or like it a ton. I’m just neutral with it. And if you’re an adult, you can do whatever you want to do, and you should have the right to. That’s why this is an opinion and not some hard stance.

But in the video I do share some possible apprehensions I would have if you decide to smoke for creativity purposes. I have these same apprehensions towards alcohol, caffeine and other psychoactive drugs that we consume on a regular basis.

I know that many people have strong feelings for or against weed. That’s fine, I don’t. Just sharing my opinion on the idea as asked by a viewer.

Thanks for watching!

In this video I share a cautionary tale about talking during rolling from when I was a BJJ White Belt. I share the story from my Brazilian Jiujitsu training because I received a question about talking during rolling. I know this will not be the most groundbreaking question and answer video I’ve ever done, but I do have a fun story to share with it and I hope you enjoy the video.

When it comes to talking during Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, it’s going to happen. Part of the reason why so many of us stick to Jiu-jitsu is the bonding that happens on the mat. We are in a place where we train and exercises. But it’s also a place where we get to know each other in person, not digitally, and become friends.

I know that one of the reason I’ve continued to train for so long is 100% the community of people inside the gym.

With that said, ever gym is different. In my gym we talk shit to each other constantly in a fun and laughing way. Some gyms don’t do this. So ultimately look to the leaders of your gym to figure out what is acceptable.

But I hope you find the story entertaining and enjoy the video. And if you have a question about talking during BJJ training then I hope it’s useful to you!

Thanks for watching!
