I got a question about how to take techniques you’re learning and transfer them to rolling faster. And in this message I also got a second question about experiencing what I call “A-HA” moment during BJJ training. Because Anthony says he was rolling in his Brazilian Jiujitsu class and was so effective and he’s never felt that way before.

In the video I talk about a simple strategy to develop techniques faster and I also talk about the skill jumps that happen in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. These skill jumps are often unpredictable and can fluctuate from day to day.

If you have a similar question to Anthony then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video.

Are wrist locks a dirty submissions? Are they cheating? If you use them are you doing something wrong within the typical rules or culture of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? This is the question I received from Kevin recently.

Kevin comes from a traditional martial arts background where he learned a lot of wrist locks and he wants to use them in his BJJ training. But he says his coach doesn’t allow White Belts to use them. In addition to that he says he gets the vibe that wrist locks are sort of looked down on in his gym. As if they are dirty in some way.

So he sent me a message to get his perspective which I share in the video.

The biggest issue with them, as I see it, isn’t that they are cheating, but that they are sneaky. Wrist locks in Brazilian Jiujitsu are sneaky submissions and I think thats why we laugh about them at times when we get caught with one. And I think it’s this “sneaky” nature about them that makes us call them “dirty” or say “prison rules”, but as I will explain in the video. It’s the same sneaky nature that makes them so valuable.

If you had a similar question to Kevin then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video!

Today’s No Gi rolling video has a ton of great exchanges. Everything from Back Mount counters to leg locks to defending my guard against some big dudes! My favorite roll from this week’s rolling video is against my Brown Belt Rob who is 240lbs and moves like he is small guy at times and was shutting down my Butterfly Guard game with his hop overs and quick guard passing. It really is a fun exchange to watch.

I ended up bailing on the Butterfly and did a weird slide by to get around to the back. In case you’re wondering I finished the roll with a wrist lock.

Hope you guys enjoyed the video!

Today’s Q&A question comes from our friend who is a Gracie Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt who recently had to move to a new area which doesn’t have a Gracie Jiu-jitsu gym. He said he started training at one of the local Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms and training is fine. That said, he says he wants to receive his Black Belt from his previous coach.

Now he’s curious as to my experience with a situation like this is where you have a new gym, new instructor but want a belt from your old coach.

In the video I talk about my ideas on the situation based upon experiences I’ve had as a coach with students who were still being promoted under other coaches and also with my own students who moved away and wanted to belted with me.

I also give some basic advice on how I would encourage our friend to proceed with the situation.

Hopefully if you’re in a similar situation this video is helpful.

Thanks for watching!

Should White Belts and newer BJJ practitioners practice and drill techniques to both sides? That’s the comment I’m replying to that came from one of the viewers the other day.

Here’s the original video: https://youtu.be/HDowUHDOdmE

In the video I talk about how I’ve been encouraging my BJJ students practice their rear chokes and submissions to their non-dominant side. For reasons as I’ll discuss in the video, it can be incredibly useful. I also encouraged someone watching the video to do the same thing.

But should you do this early on? Well my answer is sort of yes and no.

I think it’s good to learn a technique to some proficiency on 1 side first and then begin to use it on the other. When you watch the video you’ll see the distinction I make between just knowing a technique vs having learned it.

If this question was on your mind then I hope this video is useful!

Thanks for watching the video.
