In this video, I go through the idea of a “Jiu-Jitsu Hobbyist” and a “Jiu-Jitsu Professional” and what is the difference between the two.

As the martial art and sport has evolved, there are definitely a few unique distinctions and differences between these groups.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

The Segmental Cat-Cow exercise is a slight, but very useful variation on the traditional exercise. We utilize the segmental approach to address each joint in the spine.

The idea is to focus on proper movement through each joint of the spine to allow for a more complete movement and ensure that each segment is moving adequately to limit compensation at other areas and to promote spinal health.

Great as a warm-up and a cool-down sequence. A go-to movement for me and should be one that you utilize as well.

The idea for this video came from a conversation with one of the white belts at the gym. His question was about where to start or what to focus on from various positions.

When I started training over 10 years ago, instructional videos were very limited and the youtube library of techniques was not at all what it is today.

My go-to way for studying was books because that was the way I was used to learning. Reading, highlighting, underlining, and taking notes…so thats why I was drawn to books.

The one book that I recommend for all beginners is “Jiu-Jitsu University” by BJJ black belt and multiple time world champion Saulo Ribeiro.

This book was a vital resource for me starting out and has details from many positions including proper positions/posture, sweeps, submissions, and a bunch more.

If you’re a beginner, I recommend picking up the book.
