White Belt Lesson I Didn’t Understand Until Brown Belt in BJJ

Gary Berger — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 18:51:26 +0000

Today’s video is for those of you in your first couple of years of training, who struggles with defense, escaping side control, bottom of mount, anything like that.

It’s a White Belt lesson that we all get, that I didn’t grasp until I was a Brown Belt in BJJ.

Hopefully, if you’re new to training in jiu-jitsu, you will find this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

This Happens to Every BJJ White Belt (If They Get Good)

Gary Berger — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 17:34:04 +0000

If you’re a BJJ White Belt, or even a young Wrestler, as you progress, you will run into THIS problem…

Today we’ve got a question from Ben.

He said:

“I’m 46 years old; my son and I are about 6 months into BJJ. My question, at the moment, is that I feel like my Jiu-Jitsu is regressing. I feel like I get compliments about my skill level and progression from upper belts, but there’s not a lot of White Belts in my gym, and lately, in my open rolls, I’ve felt very stagnant… I feel like I’m reacting to all the information… I don’t want this lack of confidence to rear its head in competition. (What do you recommend I do?)”

I’ll dive deep into overcoming stagnation in BJJ and more in this video.

Thanks for watching.

New BJJ White Belt asks, “Am I being a P@$$Y?”

Gary Berger — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 19:51:07 +0000

Today, we’ve got a question from a brand NEW BJJ White Belt.

He’s 36 years old, 5 feet 11, and 270 lbs. He’s a big fella.

During his first week of rolling, someone put a shin staple on him during one training session. The shin was just cutting into his arm, making it really painful. His training partner was super shocked by this.

He says he realizes he is just being a p***** & wonders how to make it hurt a lot less.

Most people come into Jiu-Jitsu with some level of naivety, and I’ll try to address the reality of it, especially for new people.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu hurts!

I’ll discuss this fact of BJJ life and more in this video.

If you’re having a similar problem as a newer grappler in BJJ then hopefully you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.

Is Being Pain Free Mean Your Injury Is Fully Healed?

Gary Berger — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 17:17:19 +0000

So there is a common misconception that I hear and its that when an injured area is no longer painful, then you are fully healed and can get back to full training…well this is not always true…let me explain.

Different types of tissue such as muscle, tendon, bones, etc can take a variety of times to heal as it is dependent on the type and severity of injury.

An important idea is to take pain levels into account, however, don’t let pain be the determining factor in your recovery.

You have to also look at other factors in your recovery such as range of motion of the area, strength of the surrounding muscles, and if you are able to perform the movements necessary for your sport (BJJ or other sports).
