Learn the spider guard sweep from the best in the business. 3X World Champion Michael Langhi breaks down the minute details to getting the best out of your spider guard in this weeks Competition Tested Technique.
Recently I came across a video of a teenage BJJ blue belt being slammed by a much larger purple belt. The video (which the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach of the gym and father of the teenager posted) shows a video of a much larger guy slamming a much smaller teenager.
Now the situation is unfortunate but it’s a good lesson to observe in the future for yourself should you ever roll with someone brand new. Brand new meaning, new to Jiu-jitsu or just new to your gym.
As I’ll explain in the video I’ve had some unfortunate situations that I learned the hard way. So I’m sharing to hopefully help you not make the same mistake or have the “pleasure” of learning the lesson as bad as some have.

Today’s BJJ technique focused video is for my student Evan who’s got a great butterfly guard game. And so many of the people in the gym are forcing him to play different positions like half guard. From there it makes it hard for him to get to butterfly guard and he says he’s been getting hit with ankle locks and leg locks.
So in today’s video I’m going to show you some details that I wanted to show him about how he could possibly deal with this.
As a butterfly guard player myself i have the same problem and this has been 1 of the best ways to counter the issue. It hinges on a simple half guard sweep which I’ve shown on the channel that you can then use as an off balancing technique.
To see the original sweep go here: https://youtu.be/KxkcHaLAxTU
Hope the technique helps.

The following reasons are why it’s never too late to start Jiu Jitsu.
If you injure someone during Jiu-jitsu training, are you responsible? This is the heart of the question I answer in today’s BJJ Q&A video. The question was asked by several different people recently, so I wanted to touch on the topic.
Injuries suck and it’s one of the downsides to training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. . . or any sport really. But at the same time, even if you don’t train you’ll probably experience some injuries and wear and tear on the body regardless.
But either way, in today’s BJJ video I’ll give you some ideas to chew on regarding injuries in the gym and if you’re responsible for your training partner who was hurt during an accidental situation.
Hope the video helps.

The other day I did a little experiment! I took my Chewjtisu gi made by Origin in ‘Murica and put it up against my old Chewjitsu gi made overseas.
My Origin has their American pearl weave unique to them and my other gi has a traditional pearl weave we’ve all used.
Here’s what I did.
#1 I weighed them.
The Origin was slightly lighter but both were hovering close to 3lbs. Pretty normal for my gis. Mind you I hate ultra-light gis. Thin fabric is hell for breaking grips.
#2 I washed them and then weighed them again.
I wanted to see which one retained more water. The traditional pearl weave retained about twice as much water, while the Origin top felt almost dry to the touch and the pants were slightly damp. The fact that the Origin top was almost dry really surprised me.
This may not seem like a big deal. But part of the reason why gis get so hot is because they get soaked with water and your sweat can’t evaporate efficiently. This is why moisture wicking clothes keep you cool.
#3 I dried them on high heat.
I wanted to see which 1 dried faster. Sadly, Jess and I got distracted watching a show and I didn’t do my 1st test until after 15 minutes. But at 15 minutes my Chewjitsu gi by Origin was bone dry while my old school Chewjitsu gi was still a bit damp.

What would be better for someone in Jiu-jitsu, a private lesson or BJJ instructional series? This is the question we have from 1 of the viewers. So in today’s video I’ll get down into the ideas that I think are really important when considering a private lesson with a BJJ coach or an instructional series.
It really boils down to being able to answer a very specific question before you buy the lesson or course. If you cannot answer this question, then you’ll probably get subpar results from the private lesson or course. But if you have an answer, you’ll be able to approach the information with focus and get the most from it.
So, if you’re considering 1 or the other, I hope the video helps.

In today’s video I answer a question from a viewer who struggles with cardio in BJJ. He says that he’s training hard and doing all the stuff that you would normally do, but he can’t seem to improve his cardio on the mats.
In this video I share a story about 1 of my best friends who started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with me back in 2003. For several years we basically ate, slept and trained together all the time. Our schedules were nearly identical. But for whatever reason his cardio never improved as fast as mine.
I share why this happened in the video. Now, disclaimer, this may not be the reason for someone else, but it’s worth checking out in case you’re having similar issues as the person asking the question in the video.
Thanks for watching. Chat with you next time.
