2025 @ibjjf European Championship Final Match 🥋 M5/Feather 🎯 Gustavo Dantas vs Cristian Kadow. This was my fourth and final match at the tournament. Cristian is a tough opponent, and he didn’t win 2024 European by accident; I was glad to have the final match with another high-level master competitor . 🙌

Bellator veteran Ian Butler shared his approach to his professional MMA career and his transition to competing in professional Jiu-Jitsu.

Today we’ve got a question from Mo, a Brown Belt.

He is an 11-year BJJ Brown Belt, a bit heavier. When he’s training at his gym, he’s able to do 10 rounds and train hard.

But, when he goes to another gym, especially with other heavy guys, he finds himself getting extremely tired.

He’s wondering what’s going on and what ideas I might have that could be helpful.

Hopefully, if you’re a big boy in Jiu-Jitsu and struggle with something similar, you find this helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Keith Krikorian shares his thoughts about competing against the next generation of Jiu-Jitsu competitors.

Keith Krikorian shares his thoughts on how Jiu-Jitsu can make you a better person.

Today, I got a question from Jill, a relatively new BJJ black belt. She recently shared one of my videos where I talk about not being the type of person who lectures someone out of submissions, only to start instructing them on how to finish it.

Her question was:

“As a black belt rolling with students, are there times when you pause to give instruction during a roll?”

I asked her if she was wondering where the line is between being helpful and being annoying.

She said yes. So, in this video I’ll discuss that!

Hopefully, you find this video helpful—thanks for watching!
