In today’s video I reply to a comment from one of my recent videos where a viewer said that “BJJ coaches hold back students to maximize profits.” I’m paraphrasing a bit there, but the idea is accurate.
So, I share my thoughts on this idea as to whether or not BJJ coaches, or martial arts gyms in general, hold their students back to maximize profits or if there is something else going on.
After watching the video you’re welcome to contribute to the comments with your own thoughts and ideas about the subject in BJJ and martial arts gyms.
Thanks for watching.

If you’re playing half guard and your opponent gets chest to chest on you, especially if he also gets a crossface and an underhook, then you’re in a LOT of trouble. He’s going to put a TON of pressure on you and make your life absolutely miserable. In this section from the BJJ for Old F***s instructional (https://www.grapplearts.com/oldguard) Rob Biernacki shows you exactly how you can use a series of upper body frames including your hands, your elbows, your wrists, and even your torso itself to keep his weight off of you.
Framing like this gives you the space you need to move into an underhook and work towards his back, or bring your legs back into play to achieve a knee shield guard or some variation of an open guard.
If you found this useful then here are a couple more videos on Youtube that might be of some use as well…

This instructional focuses on the guard position. It includes the concepts, techniques, combinations, strategies and drills you need as an older grappler to hold your own against and even dominate younger, more athletic opponents.
Every technique BJJ for Old F***s is chosen to work to be as low risk and high reward as possible because we know that if you’re injured you can’t train.

Today’s question is a simple one. Should you wear a cup for BJJ practice? So, in this video I’ll give my quick thoughts on wearing a cup for BJJ training and rolling. I also share a slightly silly, slightly gross story about an MMA fight where I shared a cup with one of my fellow teammates.
In the video I mention a cup I personally used. The link for that is below.
Here’s a link to the diamond MMA cup I mentioned earlier in the video: https://amzn.to/3KECXFb
If you’re getting into BJJ and are planning on wearing a cup I think that’s fine. Just keep the things I talked about in the video in mind.
Thanks for watching the video.

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.
