Today I got a question from Adrian who is a White Belt getting smashed in BJJ by higher ranked people and is wishing that someone would “teach” him what he was doing. In this video I explain why these people are teaching him in a way that is maybe a little more intuitive. I explain this by sharing a couple of stories from my own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu including my early training when I 1st started.
I did this video because it’s important to understand what’s going on in this situation because if you don’t you’ll definitely get discouraged and lose motivation quick.
If you’re in a similar situation then I hope this helps you.
Thanks for watching.

Today’s Sunday video is about confidence from a young guy who sent in a message asking for some tips. He says that he is super confident when training but off the mats he lacks the same sort of self-confidence. He says he’s watched the videos and knows my stories and says that I look like I’m a confident guy and wants to know what I did.
I picked this video because I wasn’t always a confident person and I was very much the same way as Matt is. I was confident when I was doing BJJ but as soon as I stepped off the mat it was gone. And in the video I talk about how I changed this.
I also picked this video because recently one of my mentors and I were doing a rolling session and he was having some fun jokes at my expense talking about how I used to be super unconfident. So it’s a super fitting video for the week.
Hope the video is useful to you and thanks for watching.

In today’s BJJ technique video I show an effective fundamental sweep from Full Guard can work from White Belt to Black Belt. It’s also a sweep that has a ton of carry-over value to things like armbars, oma-platas and other techniques from closed guard. Lastly, it’s also a sweep for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, that if you get good at using it, can lead to lots of other sweeps and submissions.
That sweep is non other than the Pendulum Sweep and is right in line with things like Scissor Sweeps as Fundamentals all White Belts must have some understanding of. Now in this video I show the distinction I make between the Pendulum and the Flower sweep because they get mixed up. Now I’m not saying everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu goes by the same names as I share in the video, but this is what I call them.
Anyways, I share some details on how to set it up, how to execute it and how to finish it that I hope are useful to you and your Jiu-jitsu.
Thanks for watching.
