Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Open-Class – Final

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Feather – Final

Have you ever had to compete against one of your training partners in a BJJ tournament?

This is the problem our friend TJ is faced with in an upcoming Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament.

He says he’s gearing up for one of the biggest competitions in Canada. And he says that right now potentially 3-5 other of his teammates.

In this video I discuss my experience with competing against BJJ teammates both as a competitor and from a coaching stand point.

Again, much of this is personal preference, so everyone is different. But hopefully the information shared in the video will help you if you’re ever in a situation where you have to possibly compete against your teammate in a Brazilian Jiujitsu competition.

And if you’ve ever had any experience with this sort of situation with a BJJ tournament, please leave your thoughts below.

Thanks again to Tj!

I spent the week training with Salter and a UFC vet. Needless to say it was some great training! I wanted to give all my viewers a different look and an awesome setup that salter does on his dance. I have seen salter hit this on some high level grapplers.

let me know what you think and if you have any questions I will be back in town Monday to start filming again!

Today’s question is about having a garbage top game in BJJ. In the question he says he is decent at guard passing but is unable to maintain top position.

So in this video I share a couple of tips on developing better top pressure and positioning from top.

The 1st tip is about changing your mindset with the BJJ techniques that you’re trying to execute.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu if you’re comfortable with a particular position like Guard or fighting from the back.

You may find that you will give up top position because you’re perfectly fine with dropping back to Guard to work from bottom.

If this is the cause. You will have to approach your rolls during a Brazilian Jiujitsu practice with a different mindset. A mindset of being a tough top player who doesn’t give up top position.

The second part of the video gives a couple of basic tips and principles from Side Control on putting yourself into a heavy and properly aligned angle on top.

Things like blocking the hip in side control, not crossing the centerline of the person’s body and keeping your hips tight will all help in developing a strong top position.

If you’re someone having a similar issue as stated in the video. I hope this video helps!

Have you ever competed right after a new BJJ belt promotion? This is what happened to our friend C who is competing on the tail of his recent belt promotion.

He says that essentially he’s nervous and doesn’t want to look like an idiot.

He says his coach even offered to take back the promotion but he declined saying he doesn’t want to be a sand bagger.

In this video I start by explaining that every single BJJ competitors or practitioner that we respect has all lost. Everyone has lost! Period.

I go on to share about my transition from White to Blue Belt in BJJ leading up to my first BJJ tournament at that level.

I go on to share about how I use the anxiety leading up to a fight or BJJ competition to fuel my training to make me better.

Whether you were recently promoted or if you’re just looking for some tips on getting ready for a Brazilian Jiujitsu competition that has you super nervous.

I hope this video helps!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

In this video I show an Open Guard Pass that I call the Pony Pass. This is an important transition that presents itself a lot throughout various positions but I feel this is one of the easiest ways to practice the movement.

After the demonstration of the technique I included some instruction on what a good training partner will do to produce the desired space for practice. Obviously, while rolling, this will be a much smaller window but the concept applies the same.

This is part of a passing sequence that I showed from DLR and while this does not appear to be that viable, when paired with the second pass, it happens a lot more than you would think.

As you get better at this movement you will not have to place your hands on the floor (and you really should avoid doing that after you master the weight transfer and pathway with your hips).
