Jiu-jitsu is a game of strengths meaning different qualities such as quickness, strength, agility, technique, and being great at strategy. Different styles and body types make Jiu-jitsu dynamic, and although you do not have to change your style or body, you should be able to adapt using different qualities or skills suitable for the given challenge in front of you. For example, you should not be trying to overpower a larger opponent. On the contrary, BJJ is an art that permits people to take advantage of others strengths. Someone who is weaker, but quicker, smarter and agiler can defeat a bigger and stronger person.  Use trips It is not a great idea to shoot a single or  double leg  takedown against someone that is much heavier than you are. You will be risking injury and potentially end up in a disadvantageous situation. Instead, use trips to get your opponent down. A rule here is to create motion. Tripping a more prominent opponent with their feet firmly planted will be almost imposs

  When it all seems confusing…There are many times when the moves of Jiu jitsu seem damn confusing and difficult to perform even in basic drilling with a cooperative partner - forget about live sparring. Whenever this occurs remember this - every move is a sequence of component moves each requiring mechanical details in order to be effectively applied. For any given move, certain stages in that sequence and certain mechanical details are more important to the overall success and failure than the others. If it ever seems too confusing and complicated - FOCUS ONLY ON ONE OR TWO MAJOR FEATURES OF THE MOVE RATHER THAN THE WHOLE MOVE. If you can adequately perform two components of a six stage move on Monday, then add another on Wednesday, two more on Friday and the last on Sunday - you can perform the move in a week. Don’t get discouraged when the whole move doesn’t come quickly - focus on the components instead. Your goal is to learn the move - no one ever said you have to learn it all fi

  When you’re tired: All the combat sports are exhausting in their own way. The bad news is - they stay exhausting your whole career. As you get better and better, so do your opponents - so you’ll always be under great physical stress that has your body drenched in sweat and chest heaving, utterly exhausted after a rough round. IT’S OK TO BE TIRED - BUT IT’S NOT OK TO SHOW IT. Learning to mask fatigue is an important skill in itself. Your opponents draw hope and optimism from seeing you exhausted. A tired opponent who is himself thinking of quitting will find renewed energy and drive if he sees you doubled over with exhaustion with the posture of a beaten man. If you are a competitive athlete (obviously what i am saying does not hold true for recreational athletes, older athletes, beginners or if you’re simply out of shape due to interruption in your training routine) When you’re tired, practice holding your composure and posture. No matter how hard your heart is beating and lungs burn

  Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie sind eine Frau, die in einem abgelegenen Gebiet in eine körperliche Auseinandersetzung verwickelt ist und einen größeren, stärkeren Mann zwischen den Beinen hat, der Ihnen seine unerwünschten Avancen machen will. Fragen Sie sich: Wäre es klug, sich zu wehren und all Ihre Energie darauf zu verwenden, ihn wegzustoßen? Wäre es besser gewesen, den Angreifer davon zu überzeugen, dass er alles haben kann, was er will, und ihn so zu veranlassen, seine Kontrolle zu lockern, so dass Sie Ihren Hüften entkommen und einen potenziell lebensrettenden Tritt ins Gesicht landen können?

  So you fight. You go to a gym and train. You roll, you strike, and you listen to the wise words of those who want to help you. You train MMA and BJJ and you give it your all. But wait... what about those wise words?... They're amazing for your mixed martial arts growth and your Brazilian jujitsu practice as far as they can take you... but what do you need to know as far as your actual MMA Career? Do you find your fights? Do your coaches? Do you hire an MMA promoter or an MMA manager and pay them with the little money you have? Cowboy's $0.02? You need to expand, you need to know that the same gym you start at can’t be the same gym you end at. You need other options, other opinions. One person doesn't have all the answers, and it's important to remember you can and should travel, go to different places, get out of your home town and see what the rest of the country or the world has to offer.

  As you climb towards success – in BJJ and everything else in life – you’re going to encounter some obstacles. Unfortunately, those obstacles will sometimes be the people you deeply care about; sometimes even the people you love. "I remember when I was 23 and I told my girlfriend at the time I had dreams to open my own school, she looked at me and laughed. Her response was: “Are you serious? I was hoping you’d grow out of this stage and live like an actual adult.” I laughed it off and didn’t say much. Needless to say that relationship ended. One year later I opened my Academy. Well I don’t know if you could call it an Academy. It was a small office space, 800sq feet on the second floor in an industrial park. I couldn’t afford a real sign so I got a white poster board with blue tape and spelled out “Jiu-Jitsu”. My bank account was negative. I had to borrow money from my Mother to buy mats. Fast forward 20 years, I have a lock on this Jiu-Jitsu game. I am now able to take care of m

  Chael Sonnen was involved in an alleged brawl at a Las Vegas hotel a few days ago, and was given five battery citations afterwards. Even though Sonnen didn’t reveal what happened just yet,  Brendan Schaub  had an opportunity to speak with him after the incident. In his  “Below The Belt” podcast , Schaub went into details: I spoke to Chael, asked him if he needed anything, bail or whatever. I absolutely love Chael. Here’s what happened. Chael was obviously working and he was with his wife. And his wife is a f*cking saint, and also a dime-piece. And some drunk guy with his girl kept making comments about his wife, about her t*ts, her as*, right in front of him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes because you’re talking and disrespecting one of the toughest guys on the planet, and definitely one of the toughest to ever compete in the UFC, or Bellator for the matter. And you’re doing it in front of his face. There’s going to be repercussions. He explained that Chael Sonnen simply stuck

  In a world of many options, focus on the scenarios: When it comes to selecting techniques, Jiu jitsu offers far more choices than you can realistically master in a life time. Your task isn’t to master them all but rather to select a few and spend your Jiu jitsu career mastering those. This begs the question - OK if I’m supposed to learn and master a smaller number of techniques and largely ignore the rest, which ones should I focus on? To a large degree this will be answered organically over time. Your body type and personality will tend to favor certain moves and create an aversion to others. Over time you will invest in those you favor and they will be the bedrock of your game. Your coach will influence your selection also. Every coach has their own philosophy of Jiu jitsu and tends to push that in their teaching and naturally the students tend to think and act upon similar lines to the doctrines they are exposed to daily. You can go beyond this however and start asking yourself wh

  Some moves come naturally and some don’t: I am sure you’ve all had the experience of learning a move and the first few times you drilled it, it seemed to fall into place very readily. Perhaps later in sparring you got it to work or came close to getting it to work against a tough opponent. It stood out as a move that seemed natural and unforced to you. I’m equally sure you’ve had the experience of being shown a move that looked valuable but when you drilled it it felt very awkward and unnatural. When you tried it in sparring not only did it not work, it wasn’t even close and perhaps even got you in trouble. It can’t be denied that we all have this kind of experience. The question is, what should we make of it? Should we only focus on the moves that come naturally and ignore the ones that feel immediately difficult? That is certainly tempting and understandable, but we can’t take that option. Some moves, for example an elbow escape, are so fundamental and determine so much of our over

Buggy choke has turned quite a few eyebrows since videos of it first surfaced a few years ago and best of all it was developed by a white belt. There are 3 variations. It was developed by a white belt named Austin Hart from Ralph Gracie’s Team in Northern CA.

  Vehicle is one type of confined space where you can be attacked. I have a strong opinion that no self-defense system may be efficient without a combat sport allowing competitors practice their techniques with the full physical and mental force. That's why Car Jitsu was established. Casa De Luta FightKlub Saarbrücken (Eingang im Hinterhof) Mainzer Str. 30 66111 Saarbrücken Email: acasadeluta@gmail.com

  When the gi comes off: Jiu jitsu is a sport with four faces. Gi grappling, No gi grappling, MMA Jiu jitsu and self defense Jiu jitsu. Though they are all part of the same family there are significant differences between them. When it comes to gi vs no gi grappling it’s important to ask what the most significant differences are between them and even more importantly - what the consequences of those differences are when you’re on the mat trying to improve. The three most obvious differences are simple enough - First, the gi provides a much greater number and efficiency of strangles. Second, the gi provides a much greater variety and robustness of grips. Third, the gi provides much greater friction between the two athletes that slows the pace of the match in most areas. Getting further into the discussion, the idea of GRIP has important practical ramifications. The grips provided by the gi allow for much greater overall pulling power than the no gi pulling grips. A grip on the lapel is

  What does it really mean to say you should attack 100% of the human body? The ideal of Jiu jitsu is to be able to attack specific and vulnerable parts of an opponents whole body with our whole body. In this regard most people think in terms of upper body and lower body. In the last decade Jiu jitsu has made remarkable progress in lower body attacks (a traditional weak area). However, in order to really attack the whole body you need to go further than just thinking in terms of upper body lower body. For the purposes of submission attacks the human body is best divided three ways 1 - upper body/lower body 2 - left side/right side 3 - front side/back side In addition the means of attack - submission holds - can be divided into joint locks and strangles. So if we are to maximize our attacking versatility - and this should be the goal of all of us if we are to call ourselves submission specialists - then we ought to be able to attack upper body and lower body, left side and right side,

  We don’t believe in super powers - you don’t have to - the power that good mechanical understanding and efficiency can give you is more than enough for anything you need to do in Jiu jitsu. The greatest power in Jiu jitsu is the ability to successfully utilize the potential of action and reaction. When you can elicit a push from an opponent and then pull him in the same direction as his push - you will use his own strength to off balance him. LEARNING TO EXPLOIT THE INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL OF ACTION/REACTION IS THE GREATEST STEP YOU CAN MAKE IN JIU JITSU. This is the best means of defeating faster, stronger and more athletic opponents. The key to learning is to engage in push and pull at every opportunity during drilling and sparring and so develop a sensitivity to where your opponents energy is being directed at any given moment. When you push, feel his push back, and PULL. When you pull him, feel his pull back and PUSH. This sounds simple, but making a habit of it in a hard sparring m

  The single biggest aspect of the Jiu jitsu positional game is the struggle of the top player to get past his opponents guard (legs) vs the bottom players struggle to get to guard and retain it. It’s probably fair to say that that is three quarters of the positional game in Jiu jitsu. When it comes to guard passing, we get taught initially to think mostly in terms of passing guard into side pins. This is good thinking since it accounts for the vast majority of passing outcomes at beginner level. However, as you get higher in the sport and the level of guard play and retention of your opponents rises, in MANY situations (perhaps even most) you won’t be passing to side pins so much as getting defensive reactions from opponents performed expressly to PREVENT you getting to a side pin that expose their BACK to you. The score won’t come from passing to side, but rather scrambling to your opponents back and taking rear mount. In a competitive match the bottom athlete will never willingly co

  Being an IBJJF Absolute Champion I am closing a cycle of many years of my life fighting in the gi with a golden key. The gi Jiu-Jitsu trained me, followed me from that little white belt kid, with only one dream, until today. And I’m very grateful for all that it gave me. All the great moments, victories, learnings, friendships, financial independence and good stories that I will remember all my life! I end this journey with IBJJF World, Brazilian, European and World Pro Abu Dhabi titles, all these events having the Absolute title! I still have a lot of wood to burn and my focus now will be on grappling for ADCC 2022, Super Fights and migrating to MMA. May God bless us on this new journey, looking forward to what is to come!

  My chubby son is a liar boy who always says that I don’t want to fight him, that I never sign the contract etc… And that’s the biggest lie in the world; because I’ve tried to make this fight happen several times but there are many fools who believe. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing mkt for a fight, doing trash talk, this is based on the profile of each one, but he goes beyond the limit; offends, lies and deceives a lot of people in this big internet world. Since the ADCC confirmed that he will fight in the +99kg category (which by the way was not in my -99kg category)… I make a public and official request here to the organization to change my category and put me in his weight class(+99kg). My baby is very angry, I really want to move up and beat him for the 3rd time, punishment time… Change approved  @mojassim80   @adcc_official  ?

  In today's video you'll get to watch a clip from one of my BJJ classes where I teach a guard passing technique I like using more than the cut through pass. The pass connects with the knee cut / cut through pass as you'll see in the video. Now the reason why I like this pass better in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is that the cut through usually doesn't feel great on my knees. When someone holds onto the ankle if I try to finish the knee cut pass it seems to tweak my knee. So if I go for the cut through pass and it doesn't work I'll switch off to this pressure pass instead. Hope the technique gives you some ideas for your next BJJ training session. -Chewy Casa De Luta FightKlub Saarbrücken (Eingang im Hinterhof) Mainzer Str. 30 66111 Saarbrücken Email: acasadeluta@gmail.com

  Athleticism: I think it’s fair to say most people in Jiu jitsu have a feeling that everyone else in the room is a better athlete than they are. Yet when you ask them what they mean by this they point to a list of physical attributes - speed, flexibility, endurance etc and say that most people possess these in greater amounts than they do and this makes them inherently better athletes or possessed of greater athletic potential. In fact the single biggest contributor to your athletic potential at any given second in a match is not genetic - it’s learned - it is your STANCE. Every task in the sport has a stance or posture that determines how efficiently you will perform that task. I don’t care how good someone’s genetic athleticism is (however you understand that) - IF THEY ARE IN A POOR STANCE FOR A GIVEN TASK, THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO PERFORM THAT TASK. The converse is also true. NO MATTER HOW POOR YOUR PERCEIVED ATHLETIC POTENTIAL IS, IF YOU ARE IN A GOOD STANCE TO PERFORM A GIVEN TASK,

  When we look at our performance in Jiu jitsu we tend to lump everything into two categories - success and failure. Moves either work or they don’t - they succeed or fail. If you adopt this mindset there is little chance that you will make technical progress over time. The reason is simple - whenever we learn new moves it is almost certain that the vast majority of applications when we start out will fail. When we first learn a move our performance of it is usually ( and understandably) poor. It takes time to build skill. It will take time for you to take a move from infancy to adulthood. A much better approach is to asses moves not by success or failure, but by potential. The best indicator of general potential is usually not from you, but comes from watching high level athletes performing the move in top level competition. If the move works repeatedly there then it’s likely it will work at whatever level you are. Then start asking if it has specific potential for YOU. As yourself if

  The first guard you learn: When I began Jiu jitsu it was standard practice to begin the study of guard position with closed guard. There is a lot of wisdom to this. Closed guard has good value as a self defense position and that was an important consideration at that time as Jiu jitsu was closely linked to early MMA and fighting in general. As my experience as a coach grew I came to question whether closed guard was always the best choice for the first guard position for everyone. I always noticed that most beginner students had an easier time becoming effective from half guard than they did from full guard. Moreover closed guard tended to favor the longer legged athletes over short limbed athletes. Half guard seemed to work equally for all body types. In addition, half guard integrated extremely well with pin escapes and allowed students to easily transition from a defensive elbow escape directly into half guard offense. Ultimately I came to believe that there is no one guard that o
