Getting smashed in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is important! As a White Belt part of your beginning in BJJ is learning just how vulnerable you are. And when you get smashed and submitted by a higher level belt during rolling it makes you aware of the reality of the martial art.

In this video we have a newer BJJ White Belt who says he has submitted a Black Belt. He feels as though the Black Belt is actually using the full extent of their skill and that he is getting a legitimate tap on him.

His questions is whether or not he should lighten up on this Black Belt during training or keep going.

In this video, I share how I think the Black Belt is letting the White Belt work. I’m nice about it. And because I’m not there I don’t really know. But based on my almost 20 years of Brazilian Jiujitsu I have a good hunch what’s going on.

Many times experienced practitioners know the difficult road that lays ahead for the newcomer to Jiujitsu and so they try to ease the person into it slowly. Playing down significantly in their skill and ability.

In this video I describe a story from my gym to put the situation into context so that it can hopefully be helpful to our friend.

Thanks for watching the video.

Have you ever felt physically run down but then end up having one of the best BJJ training sessions you can remember?

Well in this video I share how not feeling your best can be a good thing for your rolling in BJJ. This comes from a questions from our friend who was coming back after an illness and said that he rolled really well by being focused on being defensive since his body was tired from the sickness.

In the video I share a story from when I was a Brown Belt rolling with a Black Belt training partner. And in the story I was in a very similar situation. I wasn’t feeling too well but I was preparing for a competition so I went to the gym to train.

During the Brazilian Jiujitsu training that day I had to focus on being defensive at first because I didn’t have the energy I normally did.

What was a amazing was that by being more relaxed and less aggressive during the roll I performed better. This was a bit of a shock to me but I talk more about it in the video.

Hope you guys enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.

In this BJJ rolling video video at our gym Derby City MMA you’ll see a good mixture of takedowns, guard passing and I almost got my back taken during one of my rolls by one of my purple belts.

During the BJJ rolling session I started off light with one of my purple belts who is nursing a rib injury. From there we picked up the intensity.

My second roll was with one of my BJJ purple belts who is also a MMA fighter and former wrestler. After a solid takedown he came after my back and almost had it!

After I managed to get out of the position I got on top and went for my own attacks. A lot of times when I roll with my guys I have to turn it up a little bit because they are getting good enough to give me a lot of trouble.

My last roll was with one of my other purple belts who is the kind of guy in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu that is 200+lbs and somehow manages to bend and fold in half. During our roll we had some great scrambles. 1 where he caught me in a leg attack and another where I was able to get around to the back.

Hope you enjoyed the rolling video.

In today’s video I answer a question about BJJ training from our friend who is a Blue Belt in BJJ. He says that he enjoys rolling with the higher ranking belts inside his gym because they are a bit safer.

But the issue there is that he is almost always playing pure defense.

He enjoys rolling with the white belts and less experienced people because he can execute some offensive techniques. But the issue with them is that they aren’t as safe as the higher ranks.

So his question boils down to this. Do you have to train with white belts and less experienced people in Brazilian Jiujitsu, of can you just roll with the higher ones?

In my experience it’s good to have a mix, as I’ll explain in the video.

Against higher ranking belts you learn what good Jiu-jitsu feels like and you begin to zero in on your defense.

But it’s still important to focus some of your rolling attention on people less skilled than you. Because against these people you get a chance to play around with more offensive based techniques.

In this video I share a story from my experience with a friend who got way way better at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu once we had new people in the gym to train with.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu newest Brown Belt, Fabiana Jorge.

Fabi is an absolute beast. I’m proud to have her represent my philosophies and beliefs of Jiu Jitsu.

Today’s video is about a BJJ Blue Belt who got cussed out by a Black Belt during training.

The situation happened after the Blue Belt ,who is much larger than the smaller Black Belt, used a neck crank.

He cranked on the Black Belt’s neck for nearly 2 minutes (according to his story.) Eventually the Black Belt got up and said some things that were inappropriate for the mat and did so in front of everyone.

Afterwards our friend is wondering what happened and what he did wrong.

The Blue Belt also says that he has a hard time getting people to train with him during rolling. People tend to avoid him and he’s not sure why.

I think these two separate problems are 100% related.

So in the video I talk about using Neck Cranks in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and how they can be used effectively but tend to be more of a annoyance or injury creator for most people.

I also jump into the idea of proper safety with submission in Brazilian Jiujitsu and being respectful with submissions at the point of finish.

This is important because when you have a submission, it”s the point of maximum danger for the person and must be treated with respect.

If you’re in a similar situation I hope this helps. And if nothing else I hope this video maybe helps shed some light on using submissions in a safe way. This way you can train hard but not injure your BJJ training partners.
