BJJ black belt Thomas Lisboa talks about how you can figure out what your opponent is going to do next on the ground and then how to prepare a strategy to take advantage of it!

Have you ever had a White Belt teacher in your BJJ gym? Someone who was fairly new and insisted on showing you how to do a technique even if it was wrong?

This is the situation our buddy Rich is in currently where he says he says he’s teaching classes but some of the White Belts go off on their own to do things differently.

As a newer Purple Belt coach he was curious what I would recommend for this situation in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym.

In this video I sort of lay out my policy regarding coaching and I also discuss a situation that happened last year where one of the newer White Belts in our BJJ fundamentals class was trying to coach other White Belts.

I also explain why it is so important to learn good Brazilian Jiujitsu technique and why as a BJJ coach you must maintain the culture of your gym.

If you’re someone dealing with a similar situation in your gym then I hope this video is useful to you with your Brazilian Jiujitsu training or coaching.

In this video I share a story for our friend who is a newer White Belt in BJJ who comes from Wrestling background.

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

Here’s the situation!

Our friend Bashy says that he has been focusing on pulling Full Guard and working from that position in his gym to build up his weakness.

He says his takedown ability from Wrestling is solid. So to develop his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he has been focusing on the position that isn’t quite as natural to him.

He asked what I would tell him to do. But instead I took this video as a chance to tell him what I did.

So in the video I share my early stages in Brazilian Jiujitsu and how my Wrestling got me in trouble.

But then I talk about how I spent a while from the Guard position focusing on my sweeps and submissions and how it impacted me positively.

If you’re in a similar situation. I hope the video is helpful!
