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!

Other Instructional Videos

In this video I’m sharing one of my BJJ rolls with my Brown Belt buddy Kenny from Nashville.

He’s a super tough Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitor who’s won and placed in some really big tournaments and I always enjoy getting a roll with him.

He’s another big guy who likes to get after it, so it’s always fun.

I wanted to share this video because many of you have asked for full rolls. And I think it also illustrates a great example of someone rolling at a good pace.

But not trying to kill one another.

At the end of the video I show him some of the moves that I was using during our roll like the side control escape and underhook fighting from Half Guard.

I hope you enjoy the video of our BJJ training and rolling from this past years Shawn Hammonds Team Training.

I received a question that really resonates with me. Which is how to balance BJJ training with a relationship.

And in particular, how do you balance a new relationship when you’re trying to train hard.

Like in the case of the person asking the question. How do you balance a new relationship with BJJ training leading into a competition.

This is something I struggled with a lot as a younger guy. In fact I believe I ruined every relationship from the start by now maintaining my schedule and boundaries.

When I would date women I would often struggle to find any balance with a new relationship with training.

This was because I would often slack on my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training during the newness phase of the relationship.

Eventually when I went back to my normal BJJ training schedule. A lot of friction was created with the woman.

And this was understandable to some degree. Because I didn’t really give them a good idea of who I was initially.

In relationships I’m not good with balance. So the way I approach things is simply to do what I want. And then try and find someone who is ok with that.

My girlfriend now, is incredibly supportive and helpful with my training. And I’ve been lucky to have her. And I believe her relationship with me has directly benefitted my life.

And one tip I leave in there is that it may be beneficial to include your significant other into activities at the gym. This way they don’t feel alienated or separated from the gym.

If you’re having trouble balancing a relationship with your BJJ training. I hope this video is helpful!

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!
