In today’s video I address a common problem that affects many new BJJ practitioners, especially hobbyists.
And today’s question comes from a fella named Luke who’s a White Belt just starting out in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he wants to learn how to maximize his progress with his 3-day a week schedule. Now, he’s not trying to be a high-level competitor, he’s not worried about belts, he’s just doing this as a journey for himself.
So, in the video I talk about this idea and why you want to avoid this idea of maximizing anything, especially if you’re a hobbyist.

Recently 1 of my smaller BJJ students was asking questions about how to add top pressure in Side Control. So, I gave them a few tips that helped them out and I figured I’d share them with you.
As a smaller person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu you can certainly add top pressure. But you’ve got to me more deliberate than say a 300lbs person who can have sloppy positioning but still feel like a ton of bricks. And the video will give you some ideas on how to do that.
That said, all of the stuff that I talk about in the video is perfectly useable for a bigger person too. They’re sound fundamentals. But again, if you want to have strong pressure on top of side control and don’t want to get rolled, then they’re even more important if you’re not a massive person.
Hope the video is useful to you.

Today’s question comes from a Purple Belt who has an interesting question that many upper belts in BJJ might experience.
Basically, he’s realized that he’s in a gym where he’s 1 of the higher belts on the mat and the number of more experienced grapplers is getting smaller and smaller. He wants to continue improving with his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu skills, but he’s worried that without higher belts to push him it won’t happen.
So in the video I share some ideas and 2 strategies to improve even if you don’t have a ton of higher-level training partners. And if you use these strategies you might find that some of your most productive rolling rounds (as far as skill growth goes) aren’t even your hardest.
Now, if you’re at a lower experience level you can use these strategies just the same.
Thanks for watching.

I recently spoke with a fellow BJJ coach who recently denied a young guy a promotion to Purple Belt because of his attitude. In particular the young Blue Belt gets very upset when he loses during training. To the point that it negatively affects his training and the environment around him.
And the coach was just curious whether or not I thought this was a good idea and my thoughts on it (from BJJ coach to BJJ coach).
So, in this video I share my thoughts on whether or not I think the coach made the right call with holding the promotion.
I hope the ideas I share in the video are useful to you whether you’re a coach or just someone training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Recently I posted a video about an older Black Belt in BJJ who was dealing with a difficult situation. If you want to watch the video, it’s here:
And in the comments to that video most of them were very positive, encouraging and people had a bit of empathy for the guy.
But with the internet being the way it is there were people who wanted to trash the guy and say that he had big ego issues. Some even said this sort of thing doesn’t happen in other arts like wrestling, boxing, judo and so on. 1 person even said BJJ has a toxic community because of the belts.
So this is a short video replying to those types of comments and my thoughts on the ideas.
Thanks for watching.
