Using the LEG LASSO to stop ANYONE passing YOUR guard!
The leg lasso is a great technique but if it is poorly implemented it can be easily overcome. But with a few tweaks you can turn this into an incredibly powerful technique. Give it a try and let me know how you do on the mats!

What to Focus On as a New BJJ Blue Belt (Technical Buffet Line)
What you I focus on as a Blue Belt? This was the BJJ question I received from Twitter. Recently one of the viewers received his BJJ Blue Belt and he’s not wondering “What now?” What should he focus on to progress.
As I share in this video. Ultimately, it would be wise to consult your Brazilian Jiujitsu coach or instructor to determine their requirement for the belt. Because they may be different than mine.
One of the beautiful things about BJJ is that it’s treated in many cases like an art form. With certain, at times unwritten, rules that govern the system and a self-regulatory aspect to fakers. But ultimately, we are free to sort of go about it as we please.
With that said, there is no standardization amongst the whole of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coaches about what each belt should be exactly.
A lot is left to interpretation.
But if you were one of my Bjj Blue Belts, as I say in the video, I would jump on the technical buffet line.
Now that you have a strong foundation that you built as a BJJ White Belt, it’s time to experiment and see the different things that could work for you. Instead of being focused solely on surviving, as is often the objective of white belt.
You can now test out all the stuff that’s out there. Keep the things you want and discard the options that don’t seem to be for you. Which will set you up nicely as a BJJ Purple Belt. Which is where I think people begin to specialize to some degree. The only way you’ll know what to specialize in is to test out as much as possible.
Also, be careful not to be too worried about the newly acquired target on your back as a Blue Belt. It’s no secret that when we roll with higher belts. We judge ourselves partly based on our performance with this higher ranks.
So as a new Blue Belt, BJJ White Belts are going to be pushing themselves to do well against you. Make sure you don’t get too wrapped up in the need to always win against your jr training partners. Because in order to develop new weapons and test out all of the options. You’ve got to become ok with failing and making mistakes. It’s simply how it is.
There’s more information about my thoughts as a BJJ Blue Belt in the video.
I hope the video is useful to you. And Thomas, thanks for the question brother!

3 BJJ Solo Drills and How To Use Them During a Match or Rolling
Earlier this summer I did a set of BJJ solo drills for guard passing that you could do on a heavy bag. Using the heavy bag to mimic our opponent’s body in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
The BJJ guard passing drills can be see here: https://youtu.be/IRUtpYQ0c6E
One of the questions or requests I received from this BJJ drills video was if I could show when these movements would be used during a match.
So I picked 3 of the BJJ solo drills and included them in the video.
The three BJJ drills I chose are
– Spike pressure
– Hop Over
– Step Over
These 3 BJJ movements are incredibly helpful for developing a nasty Guard passing game in Brazilian Jiujitsu.
I also go into deeper explanation of how these drills might work or the concepts behind them.
You can use these movements as a part of your BJJ training. Whether to build up better agility and speed, or if you need some time off and use them as a supplement for training while you rest. As I was doing at the time of filming the video.
I hope this BJJ solo drills video is helpful as I know many of you don’t have a ton of time in the gym.
Thanks for watching!

Tips to Improve With Only 2-3 days a Week of BJJ Training
A lot of people have this misconception that you can’t improve on only 2 – 3 days a week of BJJ training.
And these people feel like they need to either train more or do more outside of the gym to get better at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
And this is the question I received for this video. Recently I was asked about this same subject. The question was about what someone can do outside of the gym to get better inside the gym.
There are numerous options. But what I focused on for this video was the idea of maximizing the training time effectively when it’s limited.
I have a bunch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students who can only training 2-3 days a week. And they’re monsters. They are super tough. They win competitions and give me fits when I roll with them.
And over the years I’ve noticed certain traits these people share. So in this video I describe those traits and hopefully give you some advice on how you can still get better and improve with only 2-3 days a week of BJJ training.
I hope the video helps! Thank for watching.

How to Hold Side Control Concepts (Hips, Shoulders, Neck)
There are some fairly simple concepts that you can use to effectively hold Side Control. While I don’t share all of them. I at least touch on some of the basics in this video.
Starting at the hips and moving up to the shoulders and neck.
In side control you need to have something connected or controlling the hips. Whether that’s a regular side control, 100 kilos, kesa gatame, reverse kesa gatame. It all has something that is controlling the hips.
Moving up to the idea of shoulders for side control. If you control the shoulders. You force the back to stay flat. If the person is flat on their back, it will be very difficult to escape. Most escapes from side control in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu involve coming up to the side to imitate the escape.
The last side control concept I share in this video is that of the neck. By controlling the persons face and neck. They are locked in place. If the person is facing away from you and is unable to turn towards you. They will not be able to get their escapes going effectively. At least not by turning towards you.
So if you’re looking for some ideas for side control in BJJ. Watch the video and hopefully some of the concepts listed in this video will be helpful to you.
