Today’s BJJ question comes from Cody who is curious about if you can give 100% in training without going ultra-crazy and 100% intensity.

So in the video I share my ideas of why I can’t go 100% in training. Not that I don’t want to or that I choose not to, but why I simply can’t.

I also talk about different styles of training where 100% intensity isn’t needed and wouldn’t be helpful.

If you have a similar question, I hope this helps you out as well.

In this video I’m going to show you 4 different ways to roll to improve your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu if you’re not interested in drilling your techniques. I did this video because many people want to improve their BJJ techniques but they don’t engage in any sort of specific deliberate training.

So in the video I explain how I found the idea of deliberate training back when I was a Brown Belt which had a big impact on the way I trained myself and my students.

Here’s the book I talked about:
Talent Is Overrated: https://amzn.to/2MG4Kck

4 Types Of Rolling Deliberately

1. Rolling With A Purpose
This first idea is simply to focus on hitting a specific technique to work on while rolling.

2. Positional Rolling
This is keeping the rolling into a specific position you’re trying to improve like me trying to pass my partners guard while my partner tries to sweep or submit me from bottom.

3. Rolling From The Weak Side
If you’re good at a position or technique. Try doing the same thing from the weak side.

4. Mimic Rolling
To improve against certain types of people you might have your training partner mimic a particular style.

I hope this video is helpful by giving you some ideas to use for your BJJ training.

Thanks for watching!

Fasting has a ton of health benefits but is it the best thing to do when training BJJ? What about BJJ competitions, is being in a fasted state ideal?

In this video I answer this question. Which honestly has been asked a ton recently so I wanted to answer it.

In the video I share a story about one of my BJJ White Belts who recently had his very first Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament and he did so in a fasted state. I talk about how that went in the video.

I also share my personal experience with Brazilian Jiujitsu training and rolling, along with lifting weights, in a fasted state.

Again, I share how it went in the video.

But if you’re considering training or competing in BJJ in a fasted state I would ultimately encourage you to test it out and see how it works for you. Too many people decide to do things based off of what they hear or see other people talking about.

Allow yourself to develop your own belief based on your personal experience as well.

In today’s video we’re talking about how to roll with smaller people in BJJ.

Our question comes from Tommy who is a strong Wrestler who has a distinct advantage on the feet because of his wrestling skill.

He says that when he rolls with people he feels a certain level of guilt with his rolling partners.

The guilt associated with it is because if they’re smaller, he feels like maybe he should take it easy on them.

But he feels guilty to himself for not taking advantage of the situation to attack and work on his techniques.

In this video I discuss the approach I use with my Brazilian Jiujitsu training partners and what has been helpful to me on the mats and has made my game so much better than it used to be.

As I’ll talk about in the video. When I first began BJJ training. I used my A Game every roll.

I would go hard and just use the same techniques over and over again. But it wasn’t until I put a lot of effort into opening up and rolling with people differently that my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu abilities improved at a rapid rate.

I hope you enjoy the video. And if you’re in the same situation. I hope the video is useful!
