A quick Vlog from my Jiu Jitsu Training Trip in Dallas, TX. I’ve been training hard…and there is nothing like a plunge into a cold pool after a hard days training. I’ve been thinking about how we leverage different attributes in BJJ. People bring different characteristics to the mat…some its youth, some its flexibility some its strength and some its cardio. Thinking about your various skills and weaknesses and that of your opponents can shape the way you approach a roll. Remember to work and leverage your strengths and try and exploit your opponents weaknesses. Listen to this quick travel vlog as I discuss this in more detail…

Travel Vlog – From My Immersive Training In Dallas

Is BJJ Enough for SELF DEFENCE or MMA? This is a topic that is raised a lot in our sport. In this video, I provide some of my thoughts.

The EASIEST Pass in Jiu Jitsu!
This is such an excellent pass. It is so simple and only requires a few little tips to the execution. The success rate is very high and I use it often on the mat. So do many of my students. Give it a try yourself and let me know how you go.
Starting from knees: TAKEDOWN/ARMBAR combo!
In Jiu-Jitsu we often start from our Knees. But this technique works from the knees or from standing. Does not matter. Get the throw, if it doesn’t work…move straight into an Armbar. It’s incredibly effective and can end the roll/match within seconds. A couple of my students did exactly that in a recent competition. Check out the video and try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how you go.
