Recently I was asked what it means to survive as a White Belt in BJJ. The question comes from a new White Belt who hears “you need to survive” all the time in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes.

So I answer the question and talk about the idea of surviving during practice with skill and technique but also surviving through the rough part of learning a new skill.

Learning a new skill is tough, it’s never easy, and I explain 1 of the mental road blocks that happens with people and how to work through it.

Hope the ideas in the video are helpful!

The post What Does It Mean to Survive as a White Belt in BJJ ? appeared first on jitseasy.

In today’s BJJ video I cover what I believe is a common misconception about White Belt survival in Jiu-jitsu training. This video is in response to another Chewy Q&A I did where I spoke about 70% of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is won and lost in the guard passing battle. This include passing guard, sweeping, not getting swept, guard retention, etc.

You can watch that original video where I discussed the idea to a White Belt who was feeling overwhelmed with techniques here: https://youtu.be/Lj_YN8wvxI0

Now in this video I talk about the misconception and break it down visually with Adam to illustrate my point. I hope this video helps you think of being able to survive in BJJ as more than just balling up and getting smashed on bottom. Because I believe if you’re strong from the guard passing (top and bottom) battle you’ll be ale to survive longer.

Hope the video is useful to you and your BJJ training.
Thanks for watching.

The post Common Misconception About White Belt Survival in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

Here’s a video showing a BJJ lesson I really didn’t figure out until I was a Brown Belt in Jiu-jitsu. It’s a lesson concerning frames, being patient and escaping from bad positions more effectively. These are ides everyone in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu has been told about from day 1 as a White Belt but I never really quite understood them until later.

As a Brown Belt in BJJ there was a point where I was injured and couldn’t train full speed. But I REALLY wanted to be on the mat. As I’ll explain in the video I did some modified BJJ training where I would roll but spent a lot of time just surviving. During this time I really began to understand patience and being concerned with frames and grips from bad positions.

A lot of times in offensive positions we focus on how to setup grips and be methodical. Whereas when it comes to bad positions you might forget the grips and just push in weird places because you panic and don’t want to be submitted.

So in this video if you struggle in bad positions (I.E Bottom of side control, bottom of mount or someone has back mount on you) then I hope this video is useful to you in your able to both survive and eventually escape.

Thanks for watching!
