How to Master Jiu-Jitsu – The 2 Most Important Aspects of Training – Firas Zahabi
When it come to learn BJJ there is no faking it, you either get on the mats and show what you can do or you sit on the side lines and talk theory. While theory is important we need to be sure not to get caught up in over analysis and theoretical concepts but rather take as measurements what actually happens on the mat.
Many great and powerful martial arts have over time been watered down so as to appeal to the masses need to move forward in the belt system without having to go through what mastery truly requires. This has happened in many arts and is slowly also happening in BJJ. Luckily BJJ is not an easy art to fake or water down since sparring is still very much a central theme. Still many schools are feeling the pressures of giving out more strips and belts to keep memberships flowing. This puts a the BJJ community in a difficult situation, water down or loose members to those who do.
All this to say that be careful when choosing and instructor, this is the first important decision you must make on you road to mastery. The second most important decision is to cultivate an attitude of learning. When you go in the practice room go to learn and not dominate. Mastering BJJ entails for the most of us getting your ass kick for close to a decade before achieving the status of black belts. If you are to sensitive and you go into a negative downward spiral overtime you get tapped out you will no survive the journey. Instead focus you attention on what you have learned and not whether you dominated or not.

Your Ninja Tip: North / South Americana Shoulder Lock / Trap
This is a sweet little move that I recently “fell into” when I was working an “americana shoulder trap”. (americana shoulder trap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv3-SJ81IW0) In this video (like many of my videos) I show it as a “no-gi move”, even though it works for gi too. The reason I do this is that most of my moves translate to both worlds. In addition, I think it is easier to see the moves on video without the gi.
The reason I mention this is that a few of my subscribers have asked me if I train gi too because most of my videos are no-gi. The answer: I train mostly gi…probably 95% gi! I love no-gi and compete in no-gi all the time. I really believe that it’s pretty easy to transition from gi to no gi. (But nearly impossible to transition quickly from no-gi to gi because lapel / collar chokes change things considerably) The key is to add moves to your game that translate well to both worlds. A good example is the amerciana or kimura lock. Both work very well in gi and no-gi. The triangle is another great example. The triangle choke can be performed fairly easy with both gi and no-gi. The only real difference is in the placement of grips. (collar versus clinching the neck for posture control) So instead of focusing on what’s better, more realistic etc. I like to take the approach of developing tools that work well for both gi and no-gi. -Mike “spider-ninja” Bidwell
