The Special Story Behind The Red Square On My Blue Mats

Gary Berger — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 15:23:23 +0000

There’s a story behind this red square of mats in my BJJ training area. ⁣Most people see this and think I ran out of money or didn’t order enough mats. ⁣⁣But that’s not it. ⁣⁣

You see, I grappled and rolled on those red mats for over 10 years. Much of who I am today was forged through the difficulties of BJJ and MMA training on those red mats. ⁣⁣

And I keep that little piece of red mat to remind me everything from, all the difficulties I experienced during my early years of BJJ training to the countless hours spent developing myself and our gym so that it would be something special to the students inside, to being so broke when I first started coaching full time that I couldn’t afford my own place and I either couch surfed or on plenty of nights those red mats became my bed. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I keep memories like these in my back pocket so I don’t forget them. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They give me contrast and remind me of how lucky I am and keep me grounded so I don’t ever think I’m too good to answer a simple question. Because I remember I struggled with those same questions. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Even when we get through this mess (which we will get through this). Keep these experiences in your back pocket. Remember them. So that when life returns to it’s comfortable norm you don’t fall back asleep and take everything for granted. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instead stay awake for your life, remember that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and that safety and security is an illusion. Be grateful and appreciate the beautiful moments you experience and the amazing people you meet because they won’t be there forever. They may not be there tomorrow. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Appreciate the hell out of them and that everyday you have a chance to enjoy existence. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Hope you guys are well out there. Stay strong, take care of your neighbors and take a moment to appreciate something small in your life today. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
-Chewy

Counter That Kimura!

Gary Berger — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 22:00:09 +0000

The Kimura is a great attack and I’ve got many videos showing many different ways to grab them. But in this video, I take you over how to counter a Kimura attempt when you are not within your opponent’s guard but when you are in a more dominant position – side control. It happens often particularly when you are up against a Kimura guy or gal – they just see Kimuras from every angle. But with this neat little counter. You will be in great shape. Check out the video guys and as usual, give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is a simple little move guys. And very effective. You will be able to incorporate this into your game immediately and get the results you are looking for. Give this one a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Overhook Attacks From Guard!

Gary Berger — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 17:00:03 +0000

In this video, I discuss some basic overhook attacks from guard. I love these attacks. Partly because hunting for the overhook is a lot easier than getting the underhook. And with a lit bit of knowledge and know how you can turn this into some pretty awesome submissions. Check this out, guys. Give it a try on the mat and let me know what you think…

Finish That Ankle Lock!

Gary Berger — Sun, 25 Feb 2018 19:00:02 +0000

I like to teach straight ankle locks to my white belt students. I think getting a good understanding of this part of the game early on in your Jiu-Jitsu career puts you in great shape as you progress through your game. However, many white belt students give up on Ankle locks early because they can’t seem to finish them. And the blame is placed on the Anklelock, or ‘it just doesn’t work for me’…but the reality is, the weakness is in the execution, not the technique. In this video, I give some tips on how to significantly improve the quality of your Ankle locks so that you can get that tap – every time. Give this a try on the mat guys and let me know how you go…

Asking The Right Questions In BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 22:00:02 +0000

I am a big fan of the saying that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions. Same too with BJJ. But like everything in life…there is a time and a place and also a way to ask questions. In this vlog, I cover the best ways to approach questions with your coach and your peers. Stick to these and you will have a great time on the mats. Hope you like the video guys…let me know your thoughts.
