Aghata gets the arm bar finish at LA Winter Open en route to double gold!

What’s up guys?

I want to talk about something that may be ruining your enjoyment of Jiu-Jitsu…

It’s an extremely frustrating MYTH, and I’m here to bust it.

This myth makes you feel like you’re getting worse, even when you’re definitely getting better.

I’m not going to go into too much detail here, but if you do BJJ and are feeling down about this particular issue, I hope you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Healthcare accounts for 73% of all workplace violence incidents, and workers in this field are five times more likely to be attacked than those in any other profession. Unfortunately, the violence continues to rise each year.

Current workplace violence prevention programs are outdated and ineffective, leading to serious injuries for both patients and staff, and contributing to a growing number of healthcare professionals leaving the field.

Gracie Medical Defense (GMD) aims to transform healthcare by offering comprehensive safety solutions that actually work. GMD focuses on threat assessment, verbal de-escalation and distance management as top priorities, while also teaching physical de-escalation techniques for worst-case scenarios in standing, bedside, and grounded encounters.

Using a train-the-trainer model, GMD empowers healthcare institutions to spread these life-saving skills to all their staff members. Once certified, all employees gain 24/7 online access to the full GMD curriculum, enabling individualized training even when in-person sessions are not possible.

With over 100 years of experience in overcoming violence through physical de-escalation and control, the Gracie family is finally bringing its knowledge and expertise to where it’s needed most. 

Don’t miss the first 5-Day GMD Instructor Certification Program.  

Who: Licensed Healthcare Professionals (Clinical, Security, Fire, EMS, Home Health, Care Clinics, etc.)
What: GMD + SafeWrap Instructor Certification
When: May 19-23, 2025
Where: Gracie University HQ (Torrance, CA)
Why: GMD is the Future of Workplace Violence Prevention

In this quick clip, I share a couple of passing techniques focused on a specific half-guard scenario that we worked on during our 10 AM advanced class at GD Jiu-Jitsu Academy. 🥋🔥

I also break down an option I picked up while studying the legend Leandro Lo about ten years ago, and I’ve included a clip of him executing the pass. 🙌💡

This is an 8-minute video condensed into under three minutes for social media. The full version is available at www.gdjjonline.com.

I originally created this platform for GD students committed to studying Jiu-Jitsu at home and never really promoted it much. The site is also open to non-GD students, and soon we’ll be adding more videos featuring Coach Josh Rodriguez. Stay tuned! 🎥💪

Today we’ve got a question from devlostworkshop here on YouTube, and he says, “He bruv, I recently started doing Jiu-Jitsu. Do you have any tips or insight on how to improve your breathing?”

This is something he, and most newer people, deal with.

Most White Belts, including myself, struggle with it. I’ll give you a quick tip to help your breathing and instantly feel like you’ve increased your cardio capacity.

If you train BJJ, then hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
