Faris Ben-Lamkadem talks about his performance at the ADCC Trials in 2024, and his plans for the next cycle of trials.

Faris Ben-Lamkadem talks about becoming the first British man to win the IBJJF No Gi World Championship after his opponent in the final, Felipe Costa, was disqualified.

Faris Ben-Lamkadem talks about his upcoming match with Davi Vetoraci in the co-main event of ADXC 9.

Today we’ve got a question with Michael. He’s 32 years old, has been watching my videos for a while now, and wants to get started in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

But he says that he has one big problem keeping him off the mats…

Social Anxiety!

When it comes to this social anxiety issue, crowded rooms overwhelm him, even in a familiar place. So, he’s wondering if I have any tips to help with the issue or if I’ve ever worked with a BJJ student in a similar situation.

Hopefully, my answer is helpful for Michael or any of you guys suffering from a similar issue.

Thanks for watching.

Faris Ben-Lamkadem explains his decision to focus on no gi competition and the opportunities available in UK Jiu-Jitsu now.

In this video, BJJ black belt and UK MMA legend Leigh Remedios breaks down a slick, high-level heel hook entry – the exact move he used to submit Nick ‘The Tooth’ Gullo at Polaris!

This setup is subtle, smooth, deceptive, and brutally effective when done right.

This entry is taken from his instructional Zero to Hero: Introduction to Heel Hooks, available exclusively at Jiu Jitsu Brotherhood.

Whether you’re dipping your toes into leg locks or sharpening your submission arsenal, Leigh’s system’s full of high-percentage setups and no-nonsense breakdowns.

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” – Brené Brown
Have you reflected on the question I’ve been asking you lately…
How high can you fly? 🦅

It’s wild how the negative voice in our heads—what I call the dark passenger—often doesn’t even allow us to dream big. The moment you think about stepping into a new challenge, that voice shows up with doubts, excuses, and fear.

You’ve got to stand up to that mental bully and commit to pursuing your authenticity—that’s the keyword for me.

In my book Inner Discovery for Outer Success: 10 Rules to Integrate Authenticity and Performance in Jiu-Jitsu and Beyond, Rule #1 is all about discovering your Why.
Why do you want to fly high? What are your intrinsic and extrinsic motivations?

For me, my strongest intrinsic motivation is the pursuit of authenticity.
And one of my extrinsic motivations? Inspiring YOU to live a more authentic life—on and off the mats.

🎥 The Diary of a Master – Season 2, Episode 2 is now live on The BJJ Mental Coach YouTube channel, where I share insights from my journey to the Pan Championship.

Now it’s your turn:
What’s calling you?
What challenge have you been afraid to say yes to—but deep down, you want it?

Ask yourself again…
How high can YOU fly? 🚀

The Rear Naked Choke is the #1 submission of all time. Early prevention is always key but it’s important to practice late stage defenses as well. Here are some basic options to work on.

Richie ‘Boogeyman’ Martinez talks about his upcoming match against Xande Ribeiro at Who’s Number One 27.

Marc teaches another simple but effective turtle turnover he learned from Master Mauricio Gomes.

Mauricio called this turnover “the Cow Catcher”—a classic folkstyle wrestling move that’s found its way into grappling and BJJ. It’s especially effective from the front headlock against a turtled opponent.

Marc is a 2nd-degree black belt under Mauricio and the head instructor at Kingston Jiu Jitsu @KingstonJiuJitsu
