Athletic Tape vs Monkey Tape for BJJ Training (How to Tape Fingers)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Taping fingers is a pretty common thing in BJJ. It can be a valuable thing to save our fingers from aching after a Brazilian Jiujitsu training session.
I've had several questions regarding How to tape fingers and recently one of my students gave me a roll of Monkey Tape. Which is specifically for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and grapplers.
I've never used it before. But I figured I'd put it to the test with a light training session and then check it out later on during a heavy training session.
In this video I give a couple of ways I like to tape my fingers for BJJ and I include some silly stuff from our morning class and some clips from the rolling afterwards.
At the end after our BJJ training was finished I show how the ace athletic tape held up to the monkey tape.
All in all, it's solid tape that compares to good quality athletic tape. I was satisfied with how it held up.
Thanks for watching!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
my wife loves my jacked up knuckles, it means my wedding ring is pretty much permanently attached
glad you clarified the part about the wedding ring, otherwise I would think she liked your knuckles for another reason.
Well played Sir! : )
Evirthewarrior ribbed for her pleasure
damn, that second part was so important to clear the image in my mind lol
hehe, i couldnt fit mine back on one day......that was years ago, aint seen it since....lol
that armbar was sick
Dubai was lit
Loving the rolling footage. More well filmed rolling sessions would be great, maybe with you providing commentary after the fact. Love the channel. 😎
Cool that you have diffrent useful videos on diffrent topics. For example I needed help for taping my fingers for the first time and even this video is almost 6 years old it can help me :)
Thank you!
That thumbnail is deep, looks like you were questioning life just after murdering somebody with your bare hands.
great video! I'm glad you even got Michael Cera to come to one of your classes.
0:19 man that's how you know he's trained hard in his life, look at those swollen fingers. Nothing but the result of hard work.
Great soundtracks as always. Keep doing those! :D
Thanks so much for the tip about wrapping! And esp about releasing the grip to prevent messing up our fingers in the future!
I want to see the stretches that the guy (Adam?) is doing in the background with his belt at the beginning!
Look up dynamic stretching. Or active stretching. Its amazing for warming up for bjj
Can you please do a video on the arm bar at 4:49 into the video! looked awesome! even just a solid explanation for using it. looked like a set up from a half guard pass & back step into arm bar...
It's from a knee cut/slice position when your opponent traps your foot preventing the pass. You get here often from passing open guards and it's common to do a knee slice after breaking closed guard.
People usually back "kick" their opponents top thigh to get out of being stuck, but this is a way to get out by threatening an arm bar.
That wasn't even a bad impression. Thought it was pretty good.
Whoa 😳 those fingers, God damn.....
I usually just tape my first two or three fingers tbh. Thats solid advice about releasing grips
I’m pretty new to bjj, so I’ve seen a few videos on taping fingers and whatnot but I haven’t properly figured out when I should actually tape my fingers.. is it like precautionary so your fingers don’t get to fucked up or is it more for afterwards to support them and help them heal? Any and all answers are appreciated
Love the music.
That's some pretty dope bg music
Sorry if you have posted this somewhere else, but where do you get questions from? Just youtube comments or your website?
your channel is awesome man, I've been binge watching it lately and really enjoying it :D
That step over arm bar, nice!
Question about the fingers in the pant sleeves being illegal. Does that apply when you grab your own pant leg in a similar fashion? I ask because I was working on the triangle choke once and my hip was tight and I couldn't reach my shin/ankle to pull my leg closer and was able to by grabbing my pant sleeve by reaching in like that. Just curious as that particular scenario is no longer an issue as my flexibility has improved since then.
Just subbed, your channel is sick
Hey about that sweep you did at 3:30, was your left hand grabbing the bottom of his lapel? Do you have a video on that sweep? Thanks!
can you do a video about kids in jiu jitsu?
What about it?
Chewjitsu just in general, benefits etc
idasu My sister loved it and it’s helped her improve her self-esteem and be more active. She’s also learning to respect others and obviously learning to defend herself.
Do you know any good ways to protect mat burns while continuing training while it heals?
sorry what brand? Also does taping do anything for burns/scrapes on the knuckles? Or I just have to grow a pair?
save the fingers, tape!
nice sweeps..osss
I came to real class (my 3rd week) after messing up a finger with like 4 different tapes; no one knew how to tape fingers.. so I had to find the super secret technique on here :P
p.s. you show the Xs way too quickly for nubs like me, I keep fucking it up and it's too lose even with kt
Quick question. If it's completely acceptable to use your gi as a weapon (for chokes, etc), why is it not OK to use your belt as a weapon? Why are there no moves designed around using your belt to choke someone? Why is one OK and the other not? Just something I've been thinking about.
hrosemd probably because the belt is totally removable and often comes undone by itself
I'm a new white belt and 5 days ago I ended up with a mallet finger. Not sure how exactly...I didn't feel it happen and only noticed it when I looked at my hand while rolling. I suspect a combo of using a closed grip and death gripping my partner's gi. Something I'm working on but this time it got me. Anyways...any tips other than easing up on the death grip, learning how to just let go, and using a more open grip when possible...to preventing this from happening again? Any taping methods that will help more than others? No gi isn't an option...we train mostly gi with a little bit of no gi now and then. But I also prefer gi so I don't want to give that up.
everyone is showing how to tape up fcked up fingers, but no one is talking about if i should do this to protect them from getting fcked up
Chewy you should do a vid on that takedown at 3:20
damn chewy, you gotta let go more. your hands are jacked
Great video! But how do I tape the last bottom knuckle (third) @chewjitsu
But I have a question why do we tape fingers in judo and jiujitsu?! For me if I tape my finger maybe the blood will stack in the fingers and then it will start swelling after cause I’m putting pressure on the finger maybe ?! Can someone explain please ?!
I thought you were going to tape one finger to another... How does the tape help to protect the fingers?
johnson and johnson's coaches tape is the best all around imo
hockey tape ftw
Wouldn't that be too sticky?
nah it works great
What is the regular tape, electrical tape?
Regular bandage tape
Johnson and Johnson brand finger tape is the best
Holy shit his joints look gnarly. Gi problems be like
Is that an Origin Gi?
please do vlogs and if all possible daily vlogs

Do NoGi save your fingers :D
J Dawg No Gi protocol 1. Butt scoot 2. Pull guard 3. ???? 4. Profit
Stop doing BJJ and do Catch. ;o
ello govnr!
Not trying to be rude but man your fingers look rough
They do! They don't hurt though.
Chewy, what is the name of the score that plays from 3:34 to 5:09, it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you, and love your videos.
9th.
I had brain knuckles before Jiu Jitsu :'(
I will never wear a ring
Open grips are better
The tape looks like it shaped your fingers.
or just do no gi
Joe you can still jam your fingers, lol
