Answering the question from my friend and instructor at RCBJJ LAS VEGAS . Armba

If there was a BJJ tournament in your area that had no winners, no losers, and no medals. . . would you participate in it? Do you think it would even be worth doing? Would you go through all the hard training to prepare for it?

This is the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu question that was thrown to me recently on Instagram.

Our friend who lives in a particular part of Canada where prize fighting was banned. And it just so happens that Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions were classified as prize fighting.

After the law was passed a BJJ tournament was held. And during this BJJ competition. No medals were given, no hands raised and no podium was stepped on to determine a winner.

The questions asked from our friend were. . .

Are medals a big deal? And should be people feel grateful for having a some sort of tournament in their area?

Now I don’t know all of the details of this situation. But I interpreted this as there were no winners and losers.

And I answer the question accordingly.

I hope that maybe you find the video at the very least, entertaining and possibly give you an idea as to why many people compete.

Thanks for watching.
-Chewy

Received a great question about feeling worthy of a belt promotion and the simple answer to the question is, no… I’ve never felt completely worthy and I explain why that doesn’t matter.

Easy solo BJJ warm-up exercises to get the legs and hips moving using a belt. Use the tension from the belt and feet to move the kips in multiple planes. Feel for restrictions and tightness and gently move into the areas where you feel tight. Spend as much time as you feel is necessary with this technique.

Continuing from my previous video, I go over a couple more pins from top half guard that every MMA fighter should be familiar with.

The Under Hook and Over Hook Pin.

These are two important pins that are very easy to do, but more importantly are very effective. One thing to keep in mind with pins is that they are not meant to last forever. Heck, in wrestling a pin only has to last for a second before the referee calls the match. Our goal with a pin is to score some big shots while the pin is in place before our opponent recovers.

But, there is nothing stopping us from pinning him again with the same pin over and over. These pins I am teaching are easily reused with great effect. Eventually, you will break your opponent or at the very least put them in survival mode – where they are no longer trying to win the fight but instead just avoiding getting finished. If you put someone in that state of mind, you have already won the fight.
