Truck Driver Takedown Short video showing how to make it fun practicing this takedown. We called it truck driver takedown (advancing foot sweep takedown). Start with kids facing each other in base with their collar and sleeve grips on. The driver can drive their truck in three different roads. Forward road, backwards road and/or sideways road. Driver is established by breaking partners grip out of their collar (just the driver gets to keep both hands on the steering wheel). Then they start their engines, honk their horns and start driving, step on the brake, push break pedal, turn and park, and add the hand brake on at the end. The final goal is do the whole move and complete the task. They can practice with three people together. One is the driver, one is the passenger and the other one is the traffic control officer. The goal is driver to drive when the sign says go, and stop and park their truck when the sign says stop. We brake this learning process is few pieces and this video shows them doing the whole sequence already. Driver has to drive, step on the break pedal (connect the bottom of your foot on their ankle), push the brake pedal (fast and clean tap on their opponent’s foot) as they turn the steering wheel to park (pull down the sleeve punch up the collar with a little rotation motion on both arms) and after the truck is parked (takedown is done), they have to put the hand brake on (armbar). #bjj #hus #husa #independentplay #jiujitsu #kidsclasses #lakenokomis #martialarts #mendotaheights #minnehahafalls #kidsjiujitsu #twincities #saintpaulmn #haus021 #haus021us #martialartsforkids #jiujitsufamily #familyactivities #motorskills #funtime #bjj #selfdefense #brazilianjiujitsu #saintpaul #minnegrappler #motorskills #mendotaheightsmn #independentplay #fujimats #hyperice #kidsclasses #antibullying #drinklmnt

Warmups should follow three steps: • Step 1: Remove the handbrakes by addressing mobility limitations from daily activities • Step 2: Activate your nervous system with dynamic movements • Step 3: Strategically ramp up to your working weights • A proper warmup only takes 10-15 minutes but dramatically improves performance The same principles apply to both weight training and BJJ preparation. Focus your warmup on the specific demands of your upcoming training session. Take the extra time and prepare yourself.

In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan of BJJ Mental Models, Jesse Walker of Rough Hands BJJ, and Mike Mahaffey of Old Bastard BJJ welcome special guest Eric Muntz to tackle one of the most self-destructive tendencies of the political left: the purity trap. We’ve talked plenty about the dangers of the far right, but tonight we turn the mirror on ourselves. Why do progressive movements so often collapse into circular firing squads, language policing, and purity tests that alienate allies and shrink coalitions? And how can we build the kind of durable, inclusive movements needed to actually fight back against authoritarianism? From South Park jokes and punk rock roots, to the paradox of control in Jiu-Jitsu and the paradox of tolerance in politics, this conversation draws surprising parallels between martial arts and activism. The takeaway: no coalition survives if everyone must already be perfect to join it. ⸻ 👥 Featuring: Steve Kwan @BJJMentalModels Jesse Walker @RoughHandsBJJ Mike Mahaffey @OldBastardBJJ Eric Muntz ⸻ 🧠 Topics We Cover: • What purity testing and circular firing squads look like on the left • The paradox of control in Jiu-Jitsu and politics • Why the right builds coalitions while the left splinters • Language policing, intent vs. words, and why it matters • How to assume good faith and give people room to grow • The risks of gatekeeping identity and belonging • Strategies for building stronger, more inclusive movements ⸻ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 02:26 Addressing the Left's Challenges 03:01 Purity Testing and Circular Firing Squads 07:41 The Paradox of Control in Movements 10:58 Language and Intent in Political Discourse 19:24 Finding Common Ground and Moving Forward 24:15 Respecting Identity and Pronouns 27:16 Freedom of Expression and Identity 29:22 Language and Its Impact on Identity 31:29 Advocacy and Consent 33:58 Navigating Identity and Representation 38:10 Purity Tests and Identity 42:49 Criticism from Within the Community 50:00 Language as an Obstacle to Progress 50:59 The Challenge of Political Unity 53:50 Bridging the Divide: Empathy in Politics 59:05 Navigating Flawed Leadership 01:01:58 The Stakes of Political Compromise 01:04:42 Closing Thoughts and Reflections

On this episode we answer a question from an anonymous podcast listener. "Bob" wrestled in high school and is currently a member at a self-defense gym, but has been cross-training at a Sport/Competition gym and really liking it. "Bob" is wondering if he should switch gyms if he wants to become a successful competitor. We discuss why wrestlers prefer Sport Jiu-Jitsu, why martial arts and fighting is like a language, how creating limitations and rules can lead to creativity, if the best athletes in Jiu-Jitsu are competitors, how Chewy picked his first gym and why he left his first gym, the challenges of splitting time between two BJJ gyms, and what decision "Bob" should make about where to train.

In this week's mini-episode, we discuss **loss aversion,** the human tendency to fear losses more than we desire equivalent gains. While avoiding losses is rational, excessive fear of loss can hold us back from our biggest growth opportunities.

r/BJJ is basically the Mean Girls of Jiu-Jitsu. It’s petty. It’s chaotic. It’s ruled by digital “mean girls” with four stripes and zero rolls. But today, I(@thejoshmckinney) am Lindsay Lohan — and I’m infiltrating the plastics. Let’s see what happens when a friendly black belt infiltrates Jiu-Jitsu's Meanest Community.In this episode, I go toe-to-toe with posts from r/BJJ — some thoughtful, some ridiculous, and some that made me question if the mats are giving people brain damage. From “Do I really have to learn guard?” to “I faked being unconscious to escape a guillotine,” we’re breaking down the internet’s hottest takes, dumbest questions, and most overconfident white belt energy.It’s Black Belt vs. Reddit BJJ.There is only ONE RULE — No Facts or Logic Allowed.
