In today’s video I answer a question from a newer Blue Belt who’s struggling to build offense in his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game. He says his defense is good but he’s unable to use offensive techniques when he rolls.

So in this video I outline some very basic ideas on how to find a focus in BJJ. Along with this idea of focusing in a direction I also share how you have to let go of the need for certainty with the direction you pick. In addition to that, once you pick a direction expect lots of failures along the way. It’s always worth mentioning to people that any technique that’s been mastered to some degree was built on a mountain of failures.

Hope this video helps you with your BJJ. Thanks for watching.

The post Guidance for Lost BJJ Blue Belt Drowning in a Sea of Blue Belt Blues appeared first on jitseasy.

Blue Belt Blues in BJJ doesn’t really exist. I’m going to just start with that. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu some new Blue Belts get very attached to this idea of The Belt Blues as a reason why they’re having trouble being motivated.

And I guess if you put too much focus on the Blue Belt it could be tough. But I think the idea of attaching yourself and identifying with something is dangerous.

If you believe you are something, you’re that. So if you think you have Blue Belt Blues, then you have it.

But if you just look at it like a short lived funk in your Brazilian Jiujitsu training that you need to shake off instead of some sort of “condition” you’ll probably find it lasts a much shorter time.

In this video I discuss this topic as our friend is struggling with competitions and has become gripped by this idea of Blue Belt Blues.

If you’re struggling as a new Blue Belt in BJJ. I hope this video helps!

The post Why the Blue Belt Blues Excuse Drives Me Crazy (It’s Not Real!) appeared first on jitseasy.

Just type on BJJ fingers into Google Images and you will see what happens when you get injured fingers in Jiu Jitsu. It’s not pretty. But it does not have to be that way. There is a simple technique a simple hack that can change all of that. It might take a while to adjust at first but once you do…all those aching and injured finger days will be behind you. And what’s better – your grip will strengthen. Check out this video where I describe how to do this hack. I know you are going to love it. Give it a try. Let me know how you go.

It sounds silly but breathing is so important to our cardio. Ok, it is silly. Of course, it is. But how often during the strenuous parts of a roll do we just plain forget and hold our breath.

Watch this video as I discuss some super easy techniques you can use right away to improve your breathing and improve your cardio. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes
