Today we’ve got a question from a bigger White Belt named Lee.

He’s been training for about a year and is finally climbing up the “pecking order”, especially for the less experienced guys in the room.

At this point he is finally getting the better of the newer white belts, but he has a question about rolling with them.

He wonders if he should allow them to work a little bit, which is what he says he does now, or if he should I just roll like “normal” and go after them.

He doesn’t want to seem overconfident or arrogant though, and so he’s not sure if “letting them work” is a good look.

Lee is also wondering what my philosophy is when I roll with less experienced grapplers or brand-new white belts.

In this video I’ll answer Lee’s initial question & share with you guys how I go about training with less experienced people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how I get the most out of the roll: both helping that person grown & making myself better at the same time.

Hopefully this video answers your question Lee, and if any of you had a similar question then I hope you found it helpful too!

Today’s video comes from a BJJ coach who’s curious about how I tame my wild White Belts.

So in the video I give some ideas on how to integrate White Belts into full on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training, and how to do so while keeping things safe and not letting their “wildness” get out of hand.

I also discuss a few other ideas that I think sometimes get in the way when people are dealing with newer BJJ students (in regards to ego).

If you’re a coach of some sort and running BJJ classes then I hope the video helps you!

Why do I smash my White Belt BJJ students? I got this question recently in response to 1 of my videos where I talked about smashing people from time to time. I read the question in the video and then answer it with my perspective as to why I smash my less experienced students and why it’s very helpful to them long term.

I compare the experience with my new experiences of horse riding which share a lot of similarities to my days as a BJJ White Belt.

Hope the video gives more perspective to the ideas.

In today’s video I answer a question from a White Belt about a situation that I think happens with just about every BJJ White Belt when they roll with higher belts or coaches.

When you watch the video think back to whether or not you had this experience early on in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. And if you’re a newer practitioner then think about whether or not it still happens.

And if it does happen then I hope the idea with mindset helps you overcome the obstacle I talk about in the video.

In today’s video I share some ideas on how I do belt promotions at my BJJ gym. To illustrate the answer for the person asking the question I share a story about 2 college wrestlers who trained at my gym. 1 got his Blue Belt while the other didn’t. There’s a lot of factors that led to this. But 1 in particular was the reason for withholding the promotion from 1 and then giving it to the other.

Keep in mind, at the time, both people were able to hang with a Black Belt in top positions.

Hope the idea is useful to you.

Chat with you next time.

Ever struggle with remembering Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques? If you’re like most of us, then I’m sure you have. Especially early on. And this is the main topic for today’s question that comes from Sarah who’s a White Belt and can’t seem to remember all the techniques from her BJJ Classes.

So, in the video I share some ideas on why not being able to retain each technique you learn is normal and why it’s not even necessary for being good at BJJ. Sure, overtime you’ll remember more and more of them. But it’s not like forgetting a couple of techniques you don’t use will break your ability to be a good BJJ practitioner. In particular I share a story from my high school wrestling days that illustrates why, and why I never got too worried when I didn’t remember each technique when I was coming up.

Hope the video is useful to you!

Today’s Q&A video is from a brand-new White Belt who gasses out too fast during BJJ training and wants to improve his cardio. Now his request is for options other than just the obvious, roll more solution.

So in this video I share 2 ideas that will help improve your cardio or “gas tank” for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I’ve kept the tips as simple as possible. Doesn’t mean they’re easy, but if you act on the 2 suggestions I give in the video I guarantee you’ll be able to roll longer and have more energy for BJJ training.

I say this from my experience and also the experience of many of my students.

If you’re struggling to roll in your gym and want to give your BJJ stamina a boost then I hope the video helps.

If you’re a newer BJJ White Belt you may have experienced a situation where maybe someone refused to roll with you. And especially in the gym it can feel awkward and seem like a negative thing. This is the situation one of our friends has run into when he’s trained in different martial arts.

He says he’s gone to several different martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms, and he feels like there are cliques that develop and he gets left out. These gyms talk about being a family but it doesn’t seem that way to him.

In this video I explain why your gym may in fact be like a family, in many different aspects and why you don’t always want to interpret someone not rolling with you as a bad thing. Our gut instinct is to take it as a bad thing, but it’s not always the case.

Hope the video helps you if you’re in this situation or at the very least gives you an idea to chew on.

Do Black Belts have bad days on the mat during BJJ training? This is the question I got from one of my White Belts in the gym and 1 of the followers who is a Purple Belt.

In the video I answer the obvious, which is YES, of course I have bad days. But I’ll explain why I have less bad days during my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training and how I do that. Hopefully you can take an idea from the video to chew on for your own training.

In today’s Bjj technique video I show you 4 fundamental full guard sweeps that every White Belt should learn as early as possible. I call them fundamental sweeps because they’re essential techniques that have useful movements which can be used in a myriad of positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And I say that every BJJ White Belt should learn them early because they can be used to setup combos and other attacks that will serve them well until they’re a Black Belt.

For instance the scissor sweep is a good basic sweep that is great for learning to open your guard and progress to open guards later on in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The bump sweep is great as a sweep but also is incredibly effective off-balancing technique that can lead to lots of other options in Brazilian Jiujitsu. And each closed guard sweep in this video has the same qualities to it.

Hope the video is useful to you and your training.

Thanks for watching.
