Adam Wardzinksi gave us an interview and explained how important the World title means to him. Wardzinski is proud to represent Poland and be the first male European World Champion in IBJJF History.

Check out all of the action and excitement from the 2024 IBJJF World Championships black belt finals day.

Today we have a question from Brennan, a self-proclaimed over-scroller on social media.

He said that he continues to come across techniques online (specifically short-form content) and sees stuff that he would like to use for his Jiu-Jitsu training.

However, even though he saves a bunch of these videos, he said he never uses them.

Now he’s a Blue Belt and is trying new stuff out on White Belts & wonders if there are any tips I have for him to use all the short-form techniques he finds scrolling through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pages.

P.S. This is totally my opinion.

But there tends to be a lack of nuance in many of those short-form videos (not that they’re completely bad), and in today’s video, I’ll explain to Brennan, and the rest of you watching, why I look at short-form techniques as potato chips vs. long form/instructionals/classes as steak.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

What’s up guys,

Today’s question is whether or not training Jiu-Jitsu makes you worse at grappling?

The question comes from an older Blue Belt named Mic, who says he’s able to hang with the young guys BUT has found himself in a peculiar situation…

He says when young/strong white belts come into the gym they’re really tough for him to deal with, forcing him to use his A-game on them & even outworking him at points in their rolls.

Then, once they start training a bit longer, they start getting “worse”.

He finds that he’s able to actually work his techniques on them when they get more experience.

He’s curious as to why I believe this happens & wonders if I have any hot tips to help him handle young football players coming into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks for watching!

What’s up guys,

Today we’ve got a question from a young fan who has been doing Boxing & Jiu-Jitsu for about a year and he says that sparring makes him panic.

He’s anxious about the various potential injuries and asked me if I had any ideas on how he can overcome these feelings because he wants to be a successful martial artist.

He thinks overcoming this fear of injury will help him outside of martial arts with various things and so he sends the message above…

What this young man is going through is normal & natural.

Many people who train in Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, or any other Martial Art have this sinking feeling of anxiety, this pit feeling in their stomach, because of potential injuries.

In this video, I’ll discuss my own experience and how I think you can start overcoming it.

Thanks for watching the video.

2014 Worlds, when Bruno Malfacine won his 6th of 10 World Titles. Malfacine was incredible to watch!

Check out team Atos training for the 2024 World Championship. So many top level athletes training and getting ready to compete the 2024 World Championship.

Take look inside the 2024 Worlds training camp of Art of Jiu-Jitsu, of one of the best Jiu-Jitsu academies in the world.

Today’s video comes from a guy who has a match coming up against someone with better takedowns than him who has beaten him once before.

He’s looking on some ideas on how to get the win against the competitor in their upcoming BJJ superfight.

In the video I’ll talk about the challenge he faces, which many big people in BJJ face. Which is, he likes playing top game but has bad takedowns. His gym also doesn’t do much standing work either.

The video will outline one of the best competition styles for Jiu-jitsu for someone with these sorts of issues.

Below are the resources talked about in the video.

Sacrifice Throw w/ Comp Footage

Today I’m going to show you guys a move I’ve used a few times in BJJ competitions.

It’s a pretty unusual move, but it’s effective, nonetheless. This one will catch your opponents off guard if you do it right.

I’m showing this in the Gi as a reaction to the Collar Choke, but it also works well in No-Gi BJJ/Grappling too. Just focus on having some sort of choke threat.

I hit this at IBJJF pans in 2013.

Most people don’t expect to get submitted as they’re escaping the back, but that’s why I love this one so much.

If you’re looking to name it, this is what I’d call it: The Reverse keylock from back mount.

This clip was from my annual Costa Rica BJJ camp. If you’d like to attend, just check out the link below:
