Today’s video is going to be a breakdown of Mighty Mouse’s takedown that he hit at the recent Pan Am Championships in the Open Weight division.

If you guys don’t know, DJ, one of the greatest MMA fighters ever, is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt who is pretty darn good too!

Ironically enough, he actually competes mostly in the Gi! He’s not your usual MMA fighter and I think that’s what makes him so good! Anyways,

Recently I made a video saying that you should usually practice takedowns with grapplers around your same weight class, for different reasons.

Now, that said, about a day later MM goes against a huge opponent in the Open Class at gi Pans, taking him down with a slick Single Leg, and this prompted quick responses back to my previous video.

So, do I think I was wrong?

I do not, and in this video, I’ll talk about that and even break down the epic takedown that Mighty Mouse hit at Pans.

I think this Single Leg is one of the best takedowns in the Gi, and hopefully, you find it useful too.

Thanks for watching.

The post The Gi Takedown Mighty Mouse Used VS Much Larger Opponent at Pans appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s video is a clip from a recent episode of the Chewjitsu podcast with one of my Black Belt students Jeff.

In the clip he shares a story about how I denied him a Black Belt promotion that sent him on his way to reinventing his Jiu-jitsu game.

Almost a year later he competed at a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition and played a completely different game than he normally used to.

I also share why he was able to do this without having to train 6-7x a week.

The post MMA Fighter Denied BJJ Black Belt and Becomes a Guard Puller appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s question comes from Marshall, and MMA fighter, who sends me a message saying that his MMA coaches, BJJ coaches, etc., are talking him up and telling him that he has a toughness about him that most people don’t have naturally, that he’s very skilled, etc.

He says that he knows his coaches believe what they’re saying. The issue is this…

He doesn’t see it.

He asked me “How do you discover something about yourself that other see, but that you don’t necessarily see in yourself?”

In this video I go into a few stories about times in my life I felt like an imposter, and no matter what anyone told me I didn’t believe I had “IT”, just like Marshall.

If you’re feeling like Marshall, I’ll also give you a really simple way to “update” your identity a little faster, so that you can see what your coaches are seeing & so that you can develop a real superpower, SELF TRUST, that is often developed by going through certain tough situations whether that’s through training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Wrestling, MMA Fighting, etc.

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for you.

The post This Hidden Superpower will Transform your BJJ, MMA & Your Life appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s question from Selena is about self confidence. It pertains to her training BJJ for the 1st time. But she lacks confidence overall and would like to change that.

In this video I come from the perspective of someone who had no confidence when they were younger.

If you’ve watched my videos then you know that in high school I lacked confidence and it wasn’t until I continually trained in Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that I pulled myself out of it.

And I talk about the process and how you’re not necessarily born with self confidence. But instead you build it up like a muscle.

I talk about going from an overweight high schooler who couldn’t even talk to people to becoming a professional MMA fighter who talks to thousands of people through a camera.

The biggest idea I try to share in this video is that self confidence doesn’t mean you aren’t nervous or that you don’t have fears.

Confidence in yourself, whether BJJ or otherwise, is having those anxieties and fears but knowing that you can take care of it, that you can deal with it and overcome it.

So if you someone struggling with confidence in yourself. Whether to start your 1st BJJ class or something else. I hope the video is helpful!

The post Building Up Self Confidence with Grappling and MMA appeared first on jitseasy.

How do you lose the ALL or NOTHING mindset with BJJ training? How do you make Brazilian Jiu-jitsu a part of your life and not your whole life.

This is the question I received from Chris P. . . Last name Bacon.

He says that he used to do BJJ in his 20s and now that he is doing BJJ after 30. He’s struggling to find a proper balance with his training.

In part because when he trained before, he trained like a mad man. And he finds that he is struggling to train less and still feel productive as an older guy in grappling.

In this video I share some of the struggles I’ve had over the years with different evolutions of myself. And the issues associated with that.

During the video I talk about everything from becoming an professional MMA fighter then leaving that, becoming focused on BJJ competitions and then pulling away.

I also talk about how my former self, like a lingering shadow, tries to pull me back into my old rhythms and patterns.

And by pulling away from some of my former identities creates a lot of uncertainty and anxiety because I’ve built myself up into something and then I’m moving on.

And I share this because Chris is probably battling with the new version of himself and the former version who used to train more.

Chris, and anyone else watching. I hope this helps!
