Recently, I got an email from “Bob,” a 54-year-old blue belt who trains at a more sport-oriented Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym.

During a roll with a young college wrestler in his 20s, he got injured, which has made him question whether he wants to continue training in BJJ.

With that in mind, he started looking into other options and found a Gracie University Jiu-Jitsu gym about 30 minutes from his house. He’s considering giving it a try.

He says there are aspects he likes, but he’s also concerned it might be a McDojo.

He reached out to ask what I think about Gracie University gyms.

So I give my bearded opinion on it. And if you train at a Gracie University gym, feel free to drop your comments with your experiences.

Hopefully, you guys enjoy the video. As always, thanks for watching!

The post Are Gracie University Gyms McDojo? (Blue Belt Wants to Switch Gyms) appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s video question comes from a BJJ Black Belt who said he feels McDojo.

He said at his previous Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym he achieved a black belt in 7 years based off attendance. Now, he trains at a new gym and isn’t up to the skill of the BJJ practitioners there.

At this point the black belt is ruining his Jiu-jitsu training and completely sucking the fun out of it for him. To the point where he went from 4-5 days a week at his old gym to 1-2 days at the new gym, and if he does train he only does no gi so he doesn’t have to wear the belt.

I share some ideas for “Bob” in the video and if you’re experiencing a similar issue I hope it helps you as well.

Also, here’s the video about how I gave up my Purple Belt mentioned in the video:

The post BJJ Black Belt Feels Like Fake McDojo after Switching Gyms appeared first on jitseasy.

These moves shouldn’t really work. But for some reason, they are actually pretty effective. My friend Brandon Mccaghren, 10th Planet Black Belt who runs 10P Decatur, Alabama launched a Fake News BJJ movement recently, showcasing techniques that shouldn’t work but somehow they do. That inspired me to contribute to this idea by making a full YouTube video on the subject because there are so many interesting and contradictory views on what works, what should work and could work.
