The Most BRUTAL Choke in Jiu-Jitsu: The Victory Choke
The Victory Choke is named after Victor Kim, who showed it to me a few years ago when he was a blue belt. I made some modifications to the setup, but I've been using his choke ever since!

The Socratic Method
Переглядів 1206 місяців тому
Teaching students anything means being able to address their needs as best as possible. By far the greatest way I've found to teach my students is with the Socratic Method. How do you do this? By letting your students ask questions and challenge your knowledge from THEIR whitebelt perspective. Doing this allows you to address their questions from THEIR perspective.

Progressing in Jiu-Jitsu is based largely on your practice, repetition, and consistency. What it ISN'T is the number of wins you have on the school mats, so STOP BRAGGING about it!

Be Humble but Not Self Defeating
Переглядів 2329 місяців тому
Humility is a good quality and can keep you grounded with your training. That said, too much humility can lead to a self-defeating attitude. This too can undermine your progress, so it's crucial to keep an eye on this bad trait.

You MUST Face Discomfort to become TOUGHER
Переглядів 17011 місяців тому
For some of us, getting on the mats, having our arms and legs pulled and twisted, and being smothered comes ... naturally. That's not always the case for some people as they enter into a school. For some others, it takes a little more time and effort to get comfortable with even working on the basics. Here's how you can build up to that if you're just starting out in Jiu-Jitsu, and are struggli...

In order for your Jiu-Jitsu school to thrive, there is an incredible level of trust that everyone has to have. Between the students and instructors, the culture of the school has to be tightly and smoothly managed to ensure there is little chances for bad behavior to rear its ugly head.

How to Stop Losing Control of the Crucifix
Red flag: you don’t enjoy going. Green flag: you do enjoy going. Not everyone wants to be a black belt world champ, for everyone else just find something you enjoy.
I’m a purple getting ready to test for brown and I just learned this one and love it 😍
Love the shirt. Powerful message there that most people on here didn’t catch. Your eyes are open 👀
I’m new to BJJ and train at a small gym. Is it normal for the instructors to not give you personalized instruction? As in, they just demonstrate the drills, speak to the drills, but don’t ever provide individualized feedback. My gut feeling is that I’m getting lousy instruction, but not sure what’s normal.
@nickvescio-franz4337 I can't speak for other instructors, but I make sure that I or another coach looks at every individual practicing a technique and makes appropriate corrections. I also walk around and coach during live drilling
Absolutely gorgeous drop!
this was very well done! I appreciate ya's!
💯💯💯
Jesus loves u
if youre learning bjj for practical reasons i,e if a self defense situation calls for it., then you probably dont need to go further than a bluebelt unless you cross a higher belt in the street for some reason lol
Give me fine as long as you don't join Gracie Barra are any Jiu-Jitsu gym that feels a little cult like.
Great stuff.
I like that
Great tips! I’ve been struggling with the first knee bar you showed from inside sankaku. Sending appreciation from Australia 🙏
Great video, great camera work 🔥
That shirt lol
This was helpful
Glad you found it useful
dude... those ears! wtf?
As someone a bit older and pre-damaged 😂 this is the info i am looking for
Take every reasonable precaution to avoid injury while learning! White belts are simultaneously the most at risk for injury and the most likely to injure, so these kinds of drills are very useful for them
I think this is a great drill. However, as a blue belt, I'm not in charge of the lesson plan.
True, but you can encourage newbies to do it with you or each other during open mat
Glad to see you upload
It's been too long!

Are you using wrestling as a general term or do you mean wrestling specifically. I use a lot of judo and that works pretty well to get the fight to the ground but I hate take shots on opponents. If it is up to me I’ll just use a nice Ogoshi, Hari ogoshi, or even a little ko uchi gari to pick the single leg up, but I almost never shoot
Insert correct punctuation where necessarily, sorry I’m at work
I mean wrestling as a general term. I also rarely shoot because it's much higher risk in jiujitsu than in wrestling
Nice video.
What's wrong with time based promotions? If they are actually rolling, and are performing as the belt they are being promoted to should, I see no problem in just handing out a well deserved belt or earning a stripe every 4-8 months. The other thing is, what is the problem with the instructor not rolling very often? How are they supposed to evaluate you based on your merit if they are not able to see your progress, let alone everyone else's progress to promote them. Make that make sense. John Danaher doesn't roll very often, does that mean he's a walking red flag? Okay.. our coaches aren't John Danaher, but my point still stands. Rolling often, and teaching effective Jiu-jitsu are two different skills.
This is cool
I watched a video of a man who claims to have earned a brown belt in just three years. He believes he deserves this rank because he attended numerous classes. I attend numerous classes, and I still have a white belt with two years of training. I'm starting to get it. Somehow, I think he might have gotten promoted based on classes attended and not on actual skill It's just a hunch.
I'm blue, I usually tap all the whites and alot of the blues, competitive with purples and get waxed by the browns/blacks, which i think is exactlybas the skill gaps should line up...but, my gym is filthy. Mats always have hair/stuff on them. Coach will occasionally blow them off with electric leaf blower, he never mops them. He usually dips out early after instructionals when the class is rolling, and he'll have someone lock up. He'll roll once or twice with us,(he is amazing too, demolishes me with ease), but then he will sit and tiktok/Instagram. I'm thinking he should be watching the rolls and actually coaching, giving tips and advice. I love the Gi, but only 2 gi classes per week, and instructionals and usually pretry basic. Wondering if i should be looking for another gym.
Is it better for me to train at same bjj academy as my kids or go to a different place??? So my kids train under a 5th degree black belt who trained with Ricardo Almeida and I was looking at a different school a 3rd degree black belt but he's under a 8th degree black belt Rigan machado who is top 10 BJJ instructors in the history of BJJ. The only other thing to note is my kids academy has more flexible schedule , other place trains 2 days a week with no morning classes.
That is totally up to you based on the level of instruction, schedule, convenience, and the culture of the school!
@RobotDolphin sounds good...I guess I feel bad because I did start the bjj school with my kids but dropped out to focus on krav maga and possibly muay thai so I put bjj on hold at my kids place where they train....But in few mths , I'm going to another bjj gym or stay with my kids?? I was a little discouraged, I feel like the bjj fundamentals classes that I was taking were getting advanced techniques as instructor was making it seem like it was an all level class... I'm fine with that but I need to learn how to roll, to flow not just wrestle but move properly.
1 Half the guys are on peds to compete at a weekend comp. 2 they pull guard and claim to be the best self defense art 3 They brag about beating karateka in a bjj comp but never cross train 4 They post daily on social media
amazing video my man. i've been teaching a leg lock class as a chance to refresh my leg lock knowledge and this video helped unlock some long forgotten flows/drills i have for the honey hole. can't wait to incorporate some new entries from this video tomorrow lol.

The biggest thing I disagree with you on is about loyalty to your gym. The majority of the top gyms are loyal to their gyms and not gym jumping. Why would you gym jump that's why you stay in your "clan" new Union, alliance, Gracie Barra, you don't gym jump there's plenty of sister gyms and you're supposed to stay with your instructor and not fly to flags Carlson Gracie talked about people that do this and this is very frowned upon. As far as the instructor rolling is halfway right but as a student you're not supposed to ask your instructor to roll and his gym to teach you the correct technique and he should roll and my instructor is a multiple time world champ and doesn't need to roll with anyone to prove that he's good or knows what he's talking about. Gym Jumper's are garbage and they are ronan's if the Instructor sends them that's one thing. I'll leave the rest alone. Have a good day
You don't like Gracie Barra, we get it. lol
Damn bro you beefed up since we were rolling 💪
I think transition from complete beginner to blue belt is way harder than transition from a blue belt to purple belt. Its just difficult to learn all the fundamentals required to be able to be competetive at any level in jiu jitsu, once you learn that further progression is just a matter of time. Also its so easy to get discouraged, as a white belt when you get beat up every session and there are only handful of guys you can beat you feel like youre stuck and not progressing at all.I've been training for about 14 months and im still a white belt but i feel like the gap between my skills then and now is much greater than the gap between blue belts and purple belts.
💯 Make Jiu Jitsu great again!
Blue belt for life! No joke I have had 2 ACL reconstruction surgeries due to freak accidents from takedowns. I’ll still drill them but refuse to use them in live rounds. I would rather pull guard and sweep for top. If that means blue belt for life… So be it!
Red Flag for me: is the Sensi active in the class, do they walk around and check technique. It’s one thing to know something really well and another to teach it. Being a good teacher is apart of the job, that’s why you pay dues. When I am teaching, I am gathering information about the students, at what point did the information sink in? What feedback did they give? What’s more challenging for them? Another is checking in: Okay you have been hitting a Dojo for awhile, has the Sensi pulled you aside at the end of class to ask you how things are going, what are your challenges, and this sort of thing. It’s not about giving advice on personal life rather what’s happening in Jujitsu, and sometimes your personal life can impact it. Being a good coach is seeing that and knowing what to do. Lastly, after some time ask yourself do you really feel like you’ve learned something about the art behind the methods. I am talking the big picture, sometimes this comes later, but that big picture knowledge will change your life in Jujitsu and Judo.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this.
Good manners are key in everything.
Kind of in a rough patch trying to turn that corner to purple . I’m currently a blue with three stripes. Instructor told me to start trying to have combinations for my attacks
Also if you only have time for one or prefer to concentrate on one then you can use no gi methods in 100% of circumstances.. if someone is wearing heavy clothing then no gi works the same. But If someone has a light T shirt on then gi doesn’t work the same. If at all. With No gi you aren’t relying on an additional resource they may not be there..
Wooooo
My sensei used to spar us full contact once per promotion from white belt to any level. He never lost a sparring match against his own students. The only person who beat him was Grand Master Advincula, and we only got to see that once per year during seminar.
"Red Flags of a Bad Jiu-Jitsu School" ... so basically "Red Flags of a Jiu-Jitsu School" ...
The belt system is the whole problem with ju jitsu and other martial arts, it will always be manipulated by certain dojos and instructors. Wrestling and grappling doesnt have belts. Time for this nonsense to be gone.
Could you give some examples of the difference between a polite and impolite challenge?
"Coach, what if your opponent does this?" Vs "That move is trash"
Immediately stopped watching when he said this position is easy to escape lol ADCC proved he's not training with good people... 5 outside ashi finishes
Hey guys I’m new to BJJ and coach rolled with me and was able to get two submissions on me with ease, should I look for one who can do three???
Good vid. In So Cal. I like nogi. It seems that most coaches won’t promote in nogi. Glad to hear you say you’re prominently nogi. I assume you promote in that style.
I do promote in nogi
