This is an absolutely brutal way to finish the north south choke from north south!

In the video, my “little brother” from another mother Chad Hardy shows me a variation of the north south choke while we were down in Costa Rica for the Hero BJJ Retreat.

1 variation used his ribs to literally make my head feel like it wanted to pop off. For all you skinny guys, this could be a great option.

The other variation uses an X across the back to finish which finishes the choke as well and puts a bit of pressure on the neck as well.

If you’re a little on the longer and lankier side, then these could be useful finishes for you with the north south choke, as it’s typically seen as a short, stocky, strong guy move.

Happy hunting with that submission.

The post Brutal North South Choke for Tall Skinny Grapplers in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

Want a few tips on finishing the Triangle Choke in BJJ whether you’re a tall lanky person or a stocky thick legged person? Then this video should be helpful to you!

Recently my good friend, training partner and “little brother” Chad Hardy was in town teaching a seminar at my gym. And while he was here I wanted to do a video with him. And if you know anything about Chad, he’s got a killer triangle choke. And he’s got a ton of tricks on finishing it.

In this video we use our buddy Chris as the uke and Chad and I show different options to help you finish your Triangle Chokes. We show them from the vantage point of being a little shorter with thick legs. I’m not short by any stretch. But I’m also not blessed with long legs. I actually have a fairly long torso.

Then Chad comes in and shows how a tall lanky person in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu could finish the submission and gives a few easy to implement details.

If you’d like to see more of what Chad is up to, head on over to his channel at:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuauqeukQLtUrucpitF4OGQ

While we don’t go over any setups, I think that anyone who gets into the Triangle position but is unable to finish will find some helpful tips in this video. They’re easy adjustments you can immediately throw into the mix.

Hope this video is helpful!

The post How To Finish Triangle Chokes (Whether You’re Tall or Stocky) appeared first on jitseasy.

In 2007 I came to Derby City MMA. I left my previous BJJ gym and began training here.

When I started training here I met this young kid named Chad. I didn’t know it at the time but he would radically change my life.

Initially he was a young kid growing up in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym. Training and competing constantly.

But he quickly grew into a young man that was possessed with gifts that many of us wish we had. Both as a competitor and practitioner and as a teacher.

During our time training together we sharpened each other’s abilities. And on top of that. I learned a lot about myself.

While doing my best to try and help Chad along his own path I learned so much about myself.

This isn’t goodbye as we will see him often enough. But it is definitely a new period. For myself as a coach and for Chad as a man carving his own path in the world.

I love my “little brother” that I promoted 2 years ago. But I’m happy he’s growing. On and off the mats.

He’s taking his own call to adventure. Finding his own path in his life.

Pain or difficulty with bringing the knee to the chest when performing guard retention or with general movement of the hip? This technique will not only improve motion but will decrease tension in the hip flexors as well as reduce pain.
Use the voodoo band and perform a functional movement and strengthening exercises such as a squat to “trick” the hip into flexion without activating the hip flexor muscles so that way you will not increase your pain. The voodoo band is a great option as it can get into areas such as high into the hip joint more easily. Give it a try!

I received a question from a 14 year old who is interested in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. But he’s not sure if he should start training. He says this because when he went into a local BJJ gym. He was the only teenager training.

Jeff (his name), asked if he should keep training Brazilian Jiujitsu, even if he is the only teenager in his gym.

In the video response to this BJJ question. I tell a short story about an 11 year old kid who began training at our gym when I was a Purple Belt.

I go on to talk about how this 11 year old was originally somewhat ignored during classes. Because at the time we didn’t offer a Kids BJJ program. It just wasn’t something we offered. But as he showed his dedication and desire to train. Everyone took notice.

This same person would eventually go on to win the No Gi Pans and No Gi Worlds as a teenager.

This was of course about my good friend Chad Hardy.

The post 11 Year Old Kids Becomes BJJ No Gi Pan and World Champ as a Teen appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video, I provide one tip on how to avoid knee injury when playing the De La Riva Guard.
Knee injuries are prevalent in BJJ and when playing ths type of guard you can be susceptible to knee injury such as an LCL strain or a meniscus injury due to the pressure on the knee. This is where proper positioning come in. I have my training partner and BJJ black belt Chad “The Beast” Hardy help me out in this video and demonstrate. He is very effective from this position and uses it quite a bit in training and tournaments.
Make sure to check out Chad’s youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuauqeukQLtUrucpitF4OGQ
Here are a few of his videos that break down the De La Riva Guard:
