American Jiu-Jitsu legend Rafael Lovato Jr explains how meeting Saulo Ribeiro changed his life.

Today we’ve got a question from a BJJ purple belt viewer named Jeremy.

He asked how to get over the negative feeling of using white belts as “test dummies” for trying out new moves in Jiu-Jitsu.

If you’re newer to BJJ and don’t know how this works, when you’re more experienced than your partner, you have a lot of options for how to approach a roll. You can just smash them, or, preferably, you can use that time to try new techniques in a live setting.

Hopefully, you find this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Gabi McComb explains when MMA will take priority over Jiu-Jitsu for her.

Options from the seated Kimura position when the Kimura isn’t quite happening:

– The Genie Kimura is a powerful alternative that can get the finish vs a strong and stubborn opponent

– The Tarikoplata is even more powerful and a great option if available

– The Japanese Leg Scissor Choke is a timeless classic that is underutilized these days

These and more were featured in this seminar I taught at Balance Point BJJ in New Hampshire recently. The full seminar on Kimura Trap Strategies, as well as a secondary session on Leg Entanglements and Attacks will be on Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu

Gabi McComb explains her approach to MMA as an elite Jiu-Jitsu competitor.

Gabi McComb shares some insight into what it’s like to be an elite colored belt competing at the black belt level for the first time.

Today we’ve got a question from Peter, a BJJ blue belt who was promoted after about 18 months of training.

He then had to take seven months off for shoulder surgery and has been back on the mats for a month now. He’s happy to be rolling again, but he’s running into a challenge.

Before his injury, Peter was focused on developing his open guard and guard retention, but now he feels like people are blasting past his guard, and there’s nothing he can do to stop it.

He asked whether he should focus on rebuilding his previous skills or approach his training like a white belt and start learning new skills from scratch.

Thanks for the question, Peter.

Here’s what I think…

Today’s video is for those of you in your first couple of years of training, who struggles with defense, escaping side control, bottom of mount, anything like that.

It’s a White Belt lesson that we all get, that I didn’t grasp until I was a Brown Belt in BJJ.

The Over-Under pass is one of my favorite guard passes gi and no gi. It offers a great deal of control of the hips. you can take your time and wear your opponent out. It also is a great compliment to other guard passes like the stack pass.

Lachlan Giles talks about how guard retention changes as you get older and stop competing.

Lachlan Giles explains the surprising benefit of training at a smaller Jiu-Jitsu academy.

Today we’ve got a question from a fellow Black Belt and Gym Owner and it’s about Burnout.

We’ll call him Coach Bob.

Coach Bob has been doing BJJ for 20 years and is starting to feel pretty burnt out.

He is running a good business, but the training, the rolling, the physical side of it, is burning him out. He feels like he just doesn’t have the passion for it.

He says I look like I’m still passionate about it, even after 20 years of training and teaching, and wonders how I do it.

Hopefully, this video will help Coach Bob and anyone else who is running into a similar problem.

Thanks for watching.
