Having a wrist injury or spraining your wrist can be a chronic and long-standing injury that can be difficult to resolve due to the wrist/hand constantly being used in everyday activities and BJJ.

Taping an injured wrist is a great way to provide stability by limiting the movement in the wrist and not allowing the wrist to go into painful end-ranges.

The compression from the tape can also provide pain-relief to the area while using the hand.

Performing proper rehab and recovery work is crucial and extremely important to decreasing the risk of re-injury to the area will aide in pain-relief and healing.

Pain in the front of your hip can cause significant difficulty with Jiu-Jitsu and especially with playing guard or retaining guard. This technique requires only your belt to get a very effective and useful stretch to improve your hip range of motion, decrease pain, and get you back to training.

If you are in the Louisville area and dealing with injuries, reach out at https://www.proformrehab.com/ to see how we can help you get back to training.

The post Use Your Belt To Instantly Fix Hip Pain With This Technique appeared first on jitseasy.

Recently I had a student who had his very 1st day of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. But this White Belt’s 1st class almost never happened.

I ended up catching him walking out of the gym doors about to head home. He had his BJJ gi on with his gym bag in hand.

I stopped him and told him to hell with fear, fuck fear.

He had his gi on, he has been wanting to start training and he knows me. So I said, let’s do it!

He came back in the gym and had his very 1st day of BJJ and it went great. And this new BJJ White Belt has trained several times since then. And I sincerely hope he continues to push through.

And I decided to share this story because I receive messages from many of you who are interested in training. But for 1 reason or another. You choose not to.

Many of the reasons you bring up are not legitimate reasons, but rather are reasons cooked up by irrational fears.

When I speak to someone who waited to start Brazilian Jiujitsu. Oftentimes the only regret they have is that they waited as long as they did. It was never regret out of starting.

So if you haven’t started yet but you want to, I hope you find this video useful.

The post This White Belts 1st Day of BJJ Almost Never Happened appeared first on jitseasy.

How can you catch up to the people in front of you in BJJ as a white belt? How do you stick it out in training when you get frustrating because nothing is working?

These are the questions our friend Jeff asked concerning his BJJ training.

He’s being doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for about 2 months and says everyone in his gym is either a 2 stripe white belt or above. No matter what he does, he just continues to get smashed.

Getting smashed into the mat as a white belt in Brazilian Jiu jitsu is one of the most frustrating things in BJJ.

It’s fun at first but it becomes aggravating when you don’t feel like you’re not making progress. You just feel stuck.

In the video I share a story from my personal BJJ journey about how I got beat on for nearly 6 months of my BJJ training. Then eventually things started to “click” and I started to make noticeable progress.

This turned Brazilian Jiu-jitsu into something completely different.

If you’re someone who is experienced a rough patch in BJJ. Even if you’re not a white belt. Watch the video and see if you’re able to take some of the advice and apply to your situation and avoid getting frustrated, or at least have a way to work through it.

Thanks for watching! I hope the video helps!

The post You’ll Have This Moment As A BJJ White Belt ( If You Keep Training ) appeared first on jitseasy.

Recently one of my White Belts asked for tips on remembering techniques when he rolled. He said that there is so much stuff going on, and he can’t remember techniques when he rolls. He just brain farts.

In this video I share an analogy about how BJJ is like music in a way and I explain how it’s a little different than what you might expect. And you should not try SO HARD to remember techniques.

Many people who are new to BJJ start by trying to develop the ability to consciously memorize techniques during rolling. When in fact, it doesn’t happen like that. We call it muscle memory for a reason.

More often than not. Your body will figure out how to put it all together well before you can consciously think about what exactly you’re doing. This is why someone can execute a technique without being able to appropriately break it down and teach it to someone else.

If you do end up being able to consciously think about the techniques when you roll, it’s usually an afterthought. The move has already started and it’s just a fleeting thought in your brain.

In most cases, if you have to think about the technique you plan to use too much. It’s too late and your opportunity will be lost..

Saulo Riberio has a great quote, “If you think, you are late. If you are late, you use strength. If you use strength, you tire. If you tire, you die.”

I think what he is touching on is the importance of your body executing techniques in BJJ intuitively. Without having to remember techniques.

In my opinion this intuitive ability is developed through mat time and drilling.

You’ll know you are starting to develop this ability when you begin going off of “feel” opposed to thought.

Also, if you’re new to BJJ. Be ready for the occasional “Aha” moments that will occur from time to time. Where things seem to fall into place.

I share in the video that doing BJJ is like playing an instrument.

As a musician feels the music and knows exactly which chords to pluck just off instinct. The more your abilities in BJJ develop. You’ll find yourself doing things, not because you thought about them, but because they felt right.

So stop stop trying remember techniques as a BJJ White Belt. Remember what you can and be sure to drill your techniques a lot, and let your body do the rest. Don’t let the mind get in the way.

Hope the video is helpful!
-Chewy
