  When you first started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, you likely expected to get in shape and learn some of the slick submissions you watched your favorite UFC fighters execute on TV. Little did you know that you would get totally hooked on the BJJ lifestyle and culture – a culture that includes forming close friendships and bonds with your training partners. Your friendships will start from partnering up for classes and then grow to meeting up for food and drinks after training. After a year or so, you will find yourself watching every UFC card with your BJJ friends, traveling to tournaments together, and becoming best friends with the guys and gals at your gym. Here are 5 reasons your BJJ training partners are your best friends. Common interests Some people have fishing buddies while others have friends who love the same bands. You and your BJJ buddies have jiu-jitsu. You will bond over trying out new techniques on each other, helping each other prepare for competitions, and shar

COVID-19 has spread across the globe. As the virus spreads through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales, social distancing is the only effective way to stop the transmission.  However, with social distancing in place, many countries allowed only the essential industries to function. Several employment sectors, including martial arts such as BJJ, came to a shocking halt as most gyms and Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes have had to close their doors temporarily.  Although no one knows how long this crisis, there are still alternatives to complement your training.  For most jiu-jitsu students, drilling and training at home is a viable option to complement their training. Here are a few tips that will help you continue your training during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Learn Solo Movement Drills As you may already know, jiu-jitsu is a contact sport and martial art that usually requires a partner. A training partner can provide you with the feedback on whether those j

  “The three objectives of physical education, fighting and spiritual growth are expressly sought in judo. By practicing judo, the student will be able to acquire the benefits of physical education, become versed in methods of combat, and concurrently nurture their intellect and morality.”  – Jigoro Kano This is an excerpt from a lecture Kano gave in 1889 which considered the contribution of judo to education. Judo researchers started by focusing on personal characteristics of martial artists in the late 60s which later evolved into various comparisons. For instance, it’s been shown that medalists scored significantly higher in self-confidence and negative energy control. One early study claims that traditional approach (focused on meditative aspects, stressing self-control, conflict avoidance and study of philosophy) has more positive effects than modern teaching that emphasizes sport and competitive aspects (Trulson, 1986). More recently, Najafi (2003) came to very similar conclusion

  Whenever I am asked about which martial art a person should take up to best learn self-defense, my answer is always the same: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. There are several reasons for this and there are certainly other arts that can get the job done. Usually when someone is asking about which martial art they or their children should begin to practice, it is coming from a place of concern for their own safety or the safety of their loved ones. They need the most effective option that will work in a relatively short amount of time. The Thing About Self Defense The thing about self-defense is that you don’t need it until you  absolutely  need it. It is difficult to be prepared for as the intensity of that sort of situation is very hard to mimic. Self-defense isn’t winning fights. It’s self-preservation. It’s getting away. If a person wants to take your wallet, it might ruin your week, but it won’t have the lasting and painful effects of being assaulted. With that in mind, the goal of self-def

  BJJ teaches you to fight from your back. I hope I don’t need to explain why that might be helpful. Unlike a lot of other disciplines, BJJ considers being on your back with an opponent on top of you a pretty normal position to be in. There are several submission holds that can be applied from that position, as well as numerous tricks to get out of it. And they get a lot of practice from there. There is no  kata   in BJJ. You’re not ever going to walk into a class and see people ritualistically working their way through a fictional fight. Instead, they get right in there and sparring. People might think that when a fight happens they are going to just turn on their imaginations and unleash the true power within. That’s nonsense. Most people don’t want to fight and are terrified of getting punched in the face. Every fight in a public place I have ever seen has been mostly people flailing wildly in a panic, sometimes with their eyes closed. Physical confrontation is terrifying. BJJ gets
