Important Ideas On Rehabbing Rib Injuries

How to maintain focus during BJJ class.

Closed guard can be a tough position to get out of and when your opponent has a dangerous guard, then getting out quickly is important. Many guard players are great at breaking posture forcing you to continue to fight up into a good position.

I have found the “Log Splitter” guard break to be a great way to stay safe in the closed guard and also get out of this dangerous position.

How to stay calm before your BJJ match.

How to be less spazzy in BJJ.

Today our question comes in from a White Belt on Instagram who wants to be more offensive.

He says that he gets stuck on the bottom playing defense, like most White Belts in BJJ do, and just wants to be more offensive.

He asks how I think he can work on his ability to submit from the back and create some reliable offensive.

I send him back a message and ask him what his go-to defensive strategy is, his go to techniques off of his back.

He replies that he doesn’t really have any go-to’s and doesn’t want to focus on his “go-to” control and defensive techniques, he just wants to score more submissions.

In this video I’ll tell you why it’s more important to focus on developing solid control, guard retention, and defense on bottom, before you can develop a reliable offense, both on bottom and on top.

You have to be able to defend yourself. You have to be able to survive first. You have to be able to play off of your back in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

One of the things that made my top game better (subs and guard passing) was my ability to play off my back, defend guard passes, sweeps, etc.

And this is coming from a guy with a background in Wrestling (so it was uncomfortable for me too, at first!).

Hopefully some of you guys found this video helpful, especially if you were struggling with a similar issue as today’s messenger.

Today’s video comes as a request from a viewer named Jake.

Jake is a white belt and ask for some Arm Bar techniques that work well and are easy to learn for beginners in Jiu-Jitsu.

In this video I’ll give you guys 2 different Arm Bar techniques that can definitely help you out if you’re a white belt in BJJ (or any belt level for that matter!)

For both techniques I’ll point out some minor gripping details that I would use in both the Gi and No-Gi BJJ situations. On top of that, I will teach you some basic concepts to help you hold the position tighter and keep your partners posture broken.

I’ll also introduce some different guard variations, starting from closed guard, like the Diamond Guard, which help me secure my Arm Bars when I can’t catch them quickly & how to take advantage of common mistakes White Belts make when they’re stuck in someone’s Closed Guard.

Hopefully if you’re a White Belt, or really anyone who wants to improve your Arm Bars for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or MMA, then you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching!

BJJ Q&A: Is it better to drill with a training partner or use a grappling dummy?

Today we’ve got a question from Luke, a White Belt, who is having a problem that many White Belts in Jiu-Jitsu are going to have.

I had this problem as a White Belt, and per many of your messages, many of you also have.

So, he sends me a message and says he’s done 8 months of BJJ, 4 days a week, and he’s a younger grappler. He states that when he rolls, the higher belts will make remarks after the roll, scolding him, saying something to the effect of “stop being a spazzy White Belt/you’re rolling too hard/chill out, etc.”

He even says that he takes the comments to heart and tries his best to ease up and be more relaxed when he rolls.

But, even when he does this, the comments continue to come.

He’s frustrated with the situation and ask if I have any ideas on how to fix this issue.

In the video I’ll try to give a couple of solutions that can help out Luke and any other white belts who are running into this problem.

Thanks for watching, hopefully you found this video helpful!

Today we’ve got a question from a bigger White Belt named Lee.

He’s been training for about a year and is finally climbing up the “pecking order”, especially for the less experienced guys in the room.

At this point he is finally getting the better of the newer white belts, but he has a question about rolling with them.

He wonders if he should allow them to work a little bit, which is what he says he does now, or if he should I just roll like “normal” and go after them.

He doesn’t want to seem overconfident or arrogant though, and so he’s not sure if “letting them work” is a good look.

Lee is also wondering what my philosophy is when I roll with less experienced grapplers or brand-new white belts.

In this video I’ll answer Lee’s initial question & share with you guys how I go about training with less experienced people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how I get the most out of the roll: both helping that person grown & making myself better at the same time.

Hopefully this video answers your question Lee, and if any of you had a similar question then I hope you found it helpful too!
