So I get asked a question very often and I simply cannot answer it.
It get’s worded something like, “What’s the best technique in BJJ?”
If you’re experienced in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu you’ll know right off the bat that there isn’t one. The idea of a “best” technique is ridiculous.
If there was a best technique or position or anything like that. We’d all be doing that and only that.
But the reality is that Brazilian Jiujitsu offers a wide range of techniques and positions that favor certain body types and styles of play.
You only have to look around your gym or a competition where you can see a variety of different styles of BJJ in use. And the best part is, they all work!
It’s not like a sport such as basketball where there is a somewhat uniform look to the players.
Instead BJJ offers a wide range of body types and they’re all doing well.
So if you do decide to ask a question. Please do not ask me what the “best” technique is because I cannot give you that answer.
The best for me may not, and probably won’t, be the best for you.
Instead if you give me a specific problem that I can help solve related to your BJJ training or competitions. Then I can focus on that problem and try to be of service to you.
This is simply because I want to be of use to you and be helpful. And if I answered a “best” question I’d not be completely honest.
Thanks for all the questions you do send and I look forward to growing with you!

I asked one of my students about some his Ezekiel Set Ups. Because he can’t use his legs, he’s become dangerous from “bad” positions.
And, the Ezekiel Choke is one of his sneakiest, most useful weapons.
I asked him to show me a few of his set ups.

Strength training for BJJ is something I get lots of questions about.
I have a hunch this is because my meathead-ness is expressed often in BJJ.
One exercise that is excellent but at the same time can be a bit of a bugger for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner is the Squat.
The Squat is such a strong exercise for the whole body with endless variations.
One reason the Squat is so problematic for people who do BJJ is their hip tightness. This is caused by the constant flexion on the mat and the inconsistency with stretching to loosen and exercises to strengthen extension.
In this video I share a great piece of equipment the Belt Squat machine. This is the type of squat I like to do and it’s easy on the lower back.
There are a number of different ways details and benefits I share in the video. But if you’re a BJJ athlete or practitioner who wants to build stronger legs but avoids the traditional back squat because of pain in the lower back.
I’d simply invite you to try this exercise if you can. I’ve found with a number of our members in my gym that they’ve been able to use it with no issues whatsoever and have received an overall strength benefit.
This allows them to get stronger and still be ready for their BJJ training.
Hope this video was helpful!

If you’re a Half Guard focused BJJ player or ever get into the Dogfight position then you know how troublesome a well placed overhook can be.
In this video we’re going to get into this position and look at a couple of options.
Today’s BJJ video request from Gui who is playing Half Guard in his gym but is getting mauled by the overhook / whizzer when he attempts to come up for the sweep.
In the video I give 2 different options that can be used to counter the Overhook.
The 1st is simple limp arm / lazy arm. I probably use this technique the most. It’s just such a strong attack to throw into the mix. And I’ve used it over and over again.
Both in BJJ training in the gym and competitions.
The 2nd option is a roll under sweep using the “regrip.”
If you’ve watch any of my Half Guard technique videos you’ll see me showing the re grip sweep over and over again.
And it’s a great counter to Wrestlers and those types who try to use overhooks to counter sweeps and movements.
This is because they are literally giving you the grip you need to make the sweep effective.
So if you’re struggling from the Dogfight position or getting smashed in this position with the overhook. I hope the techniques are helpful.

What do you do if you want to train BJJ but there are no Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms in your area? Are you just out of luck?
I get questions regularly from people who live in remote locations or smaller cities and are unable to find a gym to start their Brazilian Jiujitsu training.
So if you find yourself in one of these situations where there is no gym but you want to train. . . what do you do?
In this video I go off of a recent 1 on 1 coaching session I did via Skype where I worked with someone who was in the same situation.
If you’re interested in a private lesson in person or remotely click here:
https://chewjitsu.clickfunnels.com/coaching1on1
He found the information helpful and so I share it in this video.
It basically involves a few parts.
1. Setup a dedicated space for your training. (I explain why this is so crucial)
2. Recruit some friends to train with.
3. Find a gym within a drivable distance to begin training session when you can make the trip to them. (Again I’ll explain why this is useful)
4. Lastly I touch on the idea of using video courses and instructional series that you can find.
If you’re in a situation where there is no BJJ gym near you. Then I hope this video is useful for you!

Getting beaten in BJJ is an essential way
In this video our friend is curious about the way he learns BJJ techniques.
He says during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training he has trouble remembering techniques. But whenever someone uses something against him and then teaches him. He remembers the information instantly.
he’s wondering what this is happening.
In this video I talk about how humans are kind of reactionary and they love to problem solve.
I also share how as a White Belt I didn’t want to play from Full Guard as a former Wrestler. I explain how it wasn’t until after some stinging losses
If you’re in a similar situation regarding Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques and not remembering them. Then hope this video is useful to you.
