Recently I got a question from a female BJJ Blue Belt who was recently asked to help coach with a female only class. She is excited about the prospect but also nervous.
She’s nervous 1st because she is still beginning herself and so she’s wondering how to go from the mentality of a student to an assistant coach. She’s also curious about how she can help women stick around with training. She’s the only woman currently and she’d like to have other female training partners.
In this video I talk about a few things.
I discuss how I was in a similar situation when I was a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and was asked to help. I go through how I did things in the hopes of helping our friend.
The big idea I share in this video though is about the way we learn as humans. Which is through modeling others and then creating our own style.
We do this through speech and even our BJJ training. I liken it to coming up to a forest and having a blazed trail. Someone has to blaze the trail.
And by carving a path for women in her area I think Karin will accomplish her goal of helping women stick around but also becoming a better teacher.
If you’re in a similar situation I hope the video helps!

In this No Gi Rolling session from one of our Friday BJJ classes.I roll with a Purple Belt, White Belts and a Blue Belt.
During the rolling I was working on a few things. You’ll see some back takes in the works including a takedown that leads right into the Back Mount.
While rolling with the tall lanky White Belt I was working in certain positions with him. One of which was inside of his guard and getting him used to shooting up triangle chokes. If you watch the roll you’ll see me reach back inside the full guard. This is a basic mistake that i wanted him to take advantage of.
If you’ve watched any of my recent rolling videos then you’ll see some common techniques being used. This is not by accident. I’m purposely trying to improve certain technique, positions and aspects of my BJJ game.
I hope you enjoy the video and find something useful from it.
If you have any questions let me know.

This is from a Guillotine Seminar I did in 2015.
My focus in my instruction is always on quality of technique vs. quantity of technique.
I see a lot of people who may know a million setups for a particular submission but have very poor understanding of the mechanics of controlling and finishing the submission.
And, since they invariably fail to finish the submission because of this, they spend time learning more setups hoping that will solve the problem.
Focus on the details of the mechanics!

Today I have a BJJ back take when someone sits back to honeyhole/saddle position for leg locks. The move is a bit surprising if you haven’t seen it and will definitely grab some attention.
In this video I show a back take I’ve been working on recently. If you’ve watched some of my most recent BJJ rolling videos you’ve seen it used in action.
After getting several requests from people I figured I’d share it with you.
The back take happens from the Saddle / Honeyhole / Sankaku position. Jeez, so many names to symbolize 1 position. Anyway, that’s where the back take starts. It starts with the person sits back to attack your legs.
In the video I give a couple of details on the technique and also show a way that you can put the “training wheels” on. What I mean by this is to make the movement easier to get started. A lot of times I have scaled options of techniques for people to begin with if the regular version is too difficult.
So check out the technique and give it a try! I hope the technique works for you!

If you’re getting ready for your very 1st BJJ competition I think this video might be useful for you. In the video I share 3 helpful tips you should keep in mind when preparing for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament or match.
The question comes from our friend Niki who is a powerlifter and is considering doing her 1st BJJ comp.
She was curious if there is anything she needs to know when preparing for the tournament.
In the video I shared 3 ideas that I think would be useful for anyone in Jiujitsu getting ready for a competition.
1. Set your sights on a upcoming competition as early as possible. Know the competition you plan to do and prepare for it. Doing this will give you ample time to get familiar with points, rules, etc.
Because it’s important to remember that BJJ competitions are a game. And during that game it’s wise to remember that it’s not always the person who’s best at BJJ wins. It’s the person who’s best at playing the competition game.
2. Know what you’re going to do at the start of the match. Whether it’s a takedown or a guard pull you need to know what you plan to do when the match starts.
3. Know your weight class and types of weigh ins. I’ve almost gotten into trouble with this over the years where I didn’t pay attention to weight classes.
If you have a competition coming up I hope this is helpful to you!
