Master Ricardo showing Big Mike from RCBJJ -GORILLA JUDO /JIU-JITSU Oklahoma one basic sweep from half guard

One of my favorite positions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is X Guard and Single X Guard.

It ties right along with my Half Guard too which I consider my best position.

In this video I answer a question from out friend who is wanting to look at some entries into X Guard.

And before I get into the X Guard position itself. I want to stress the importance of Entries for our BJJ games.

Oftentimes people look for the cool sweeps, guard passes, submissions, etc but then they forget about the entries to get there.

Consider entries the starting point for any position or set of techniques in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Now in this video I show a simple way to get to X Guard from a Half Butterfly Guard.

I use this a lot if I’m struggling to get the Half Guard working for me on bottom.

Give the entry a try and see how it works for you!

Should you scout out your opponent for BJJ competitions or should you focus on your own gameplan?

And when preparing for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament does it change from White to Black Belt?

It’s different for everyone. But for me, I don’t like scouting out my opponents too much.

As I talk about in the video. When I went to BJJ competitions and focused too much on what my opponent was going to do. I didn’t execute my own game plan effectively.

And whenever I competed and didn’t have time to look people up. I was able to perform much better.

I will still glance at my opponent’s if I can, but only a glance. Just enough to know some of the techniques or strategy they may execute.

So if you’re like me. You might find it beneficial to not scout your opponents out too much and simply go in with a focus on your game plan, your techniques and jiu-jitsu abilities.

Hope the video is helpful!

Professor Elbo Amaral 5th degree black belt is my friend and teammate. He showed me this great attack from inside the guard , using your own lapel to surprise opponents.

Can competitions hurt your overall learning in BJJ? Can being in the competitive focused mindset hinder your ability to take on new techniques and add them to your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?

This is the question I received from Mike who’s a BJJ White Belt.

He said he’s preparing for his 1st BJJ competition and he’s wondering if getting into the more competitive mindset will hurt his BJJ learning.

In this video I 1st touch on what happens when you get into a competitive mindset vs a more relaxed mindset. And how it changes the way we learn and take in information.

Then I talk about how this will affect our BJJ training and learning.

The last section of the video I talk about how you need a little bit of both. And how each mindset or approach has it’s own benefits.

You need to be able to train and be relaxed. But you also need the ability to be sharp with your techniques.

If you’ve ever wondered the same thing or if you find yourself suffering from not being competitive enough or not being relaxed enough during BJJ training then I hope the video is useful to you!

Talk to you guys next time.

Everyone who’s trained BJJ has probably at some point experienced technique overload.

You know what the is right? It’s where you have so many techniques that you don’t even know where to start focusing.

I think this is an especially big issue with White Belts in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Our friend Sean ran into this overload issue while looking up BJJ techniques.

He said he was looking up De La Riva techniques and there was just so many different techniques and positions that he was just lost.

In this video I talk about the approach of two BJJ White Belts. 1 was myself and the other was a friend of mine who trained with me for several years.

As White Belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu we had 2 different approaches. My friend focused on more techniques and had a TON of different techniques.

These two different approaches showed themselves pretty quickly.

When we would roll the two approaches clashed and 1 of us got the better of the rolling.

Watch the video to check it out! 🙂

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.
