I Hate It When MMA Fighters Call BJJ. . . Jitz. . .

April 27, 2022/3 Comments/in BJJ, Funny, Tips /by Jack C

Today’s video is a short one about a word that people call Jiu-jitsu that makes me cringe.

The other day on social media I posted about how I hate it when people call Jiu-jitsu “jits” or “jitz” and I got several questions as to why that is. Well in the video I’ll explain why.

And I’m curious as to whether or not you dislike the word like I do or if you use it yourself. This isn’t a wrong or right thing. Just is. But I’m curious. So, watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.

These BJJ players are B*tching Out

April 25, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Inspiration, Tips, Training /by Jack C

In today’s BJJ Q&A video I answer a question about a Blue Belt who is smashing people in side control.

The question comes from a guy who is a higher belt in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym and has recently seen a Blue Belt smashing people in side control. And once he gets there he doesn’t move, he just sits and squeezes. And the higher belt is curious as to whether or not he should say something because a lot of people don’t want to roll with the Blue Belt because it’s boring to them.

In the video I give my thoughts on the situation and why I would talk to the other BJJ students (not the Blue Belt) first. Because in the end, BJJ is about being challenged. And you can’t just give up because things get tough.

Thanks for watching the video!

New Series Coming: Basic Techniques I Use As A Black Belt

April 22, 2022/in BJJ, Tips, Training, Videos /by Jack C

Just wanted to let you guys know I’ll be doing a new series on the channel showing some of my most basic techniques that I actually use in competition and high level rolling successfully.

The upcoming videos will be longer as I’m going to go deep into the details that make them work. But I think the techniques could be really useful as most of them are options you’ve probably been doing since you were a white belt.

Anyways, be on the lookout for the new series and I’ll see you in the upcoming videos.

Take Your BJJ Stack Pass to the Next Level with These Details (Gi & No Gi)

April 22, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Guard Passes, Tips, Training /by Jack C

If you’re like most BJJ practitioners, you learned some form of a stack pass very early on as a White Belt. And for good reason. It’s a strong guard pass that puts a lot of pressure on your opponent.

But like many of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques we learn early on many people exchange the stack pass for something else because they feel the need for more advanced techniques.

Well, in today’s video I’m going to show you how I use the stack pass in an “advanced” Black Belt way. This video is chock full of ideas and details that could be used for multiple positions. So, if you’re attention span has been ruined by social media this may not be the video for oyu. But assuming you’re up for learning how to take your double under or stack pass to the next level, then check the video out.

Enjoy the video. I hope it’s helpful.

Medal-Winning White Belt Obsessed with Belt Promotions in BJJ

April 18, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Tips, Training /by Jack C

In today’s video I answer a question from a young BJJ White Belt who’s been winning a bunch of competitions and is obsessed with the goal of getting his BJJ White Belt in 1 year. Currently he’s been training about 10 months.

Now he wants to know ideas t impress his coach which I’m not going to do since I guarantee his coach is probably impressed by his performance in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Instead I try to share some ideas on finding meaning in between the goals he’s chasing.

I do this because I had the same tireless drive towards goals when I was younger and trying to impress my coaches and teammates. And while it can produce good results it can also produce a ton of frustration because you never stop to realize what you’ve accomplished because you’re always after the next goal.

I explain the idea in more depth in the video. Hopefully the video is useful to you.

Make Your Collar Chokes in BJJ More Effective (Focus on This 1st)

April 15, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Submissions, Tips /by Jack C

In today’s BJJ technique video I’m going to show you 3 different chokes you can use from back mount with the same collar grip. I’m also going to show you what, in my bearded opinion, is the most important part of getting the choke. . . the setup.

These chokes from back mount are super simple. But I’ve used each one of them at every level of BJJ and even competitions. So they’re legit. Remember, the effectiveness of a technique depends on your skill as a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner, not the complexity of the movement.

A lot of people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu get excited about the finish but don’t pay much attention to the setup which is a mistake. The setup and the initial grips on the collar are the most important part of a good collar choke.

Get a good grip and your choke is much easier. Get sloppy with your grip and it’s going to be tough!

This is something to focus on when you are practicing or drilling in your gym.

Hope the video helps give you some ideas for your next BJJ training session.

How To Make Your Armbars Safer & More Effective as a White Belt

April 12, 2022/in Beginners, BJJ, Submissions, Tips /by Jack C

Today’s video will show you some simple techniques to make your armbars safer and more effective as a BJJ White Belt.

The video comes from a question I got from a White Belt who’s afraid of falling off too fast with armbars from top position becuase he doesn’t want to injure his training partners or lose the submission.

So in this video I’ll show you how to use the arm you’re not attacking (when using an armbar from top) to anchor yourself to their body and slow the armbar down. This will also help weaken many of the common grips used to defend armbars.

If you’re struggling with armbars then I hope the video helps!

If You Like Side Control, You Gotta Try This Sexy Back Take

April 5, 2022/in BJJ, Defenses Escapes Counters, Guard Passes /by Jack C

In today’s video I’m going to show you one of my favorite rolling back takes in BJJ that you can setup from side control.

This is one of my favorite ways to take back mount in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. And recently, in one of my vlogs I got a question about this technique since I used it in during a roll that was filmed. So I’ll show you that rolling clip from the Costa Rica video and then show you how to set it up from side control in case you want to give it a try during your next roll in the gym.

Join us for our next Costa Rica BJJ training vacation: https://herobjj.com/retreats/chewy/

Also, watch towards the end where I show a sneaky detail for catching more rear naked chokes. This is a simple adjustment I add on to the end of my back takes when I’m drilling in the gym and has made a big difference to my ability to finish chokes in competitions and high level rolls.

Thanks for watching!
