The age old jiu jitsu sayings rendering strength useless with impeccable technique were maybe true for a period of time. Buuuut now those big and strong guys are also doing BJJ. Have you been told to stop using strength in rolls? We say, f%$@ that noise. While having technical prowess is really the ultimate goal, your strength is also a skill that you need to train. Getting stronger will only help your jiu jitsu, and if it's something you've left out of the regime, it's time to add it in now...

#323 The Ultimate Guide to BJJ Tape Study

**Stop doom-scrolling and start skill-scrolling.** In this episode—the *Ultimate Guide to Visual BJJ Learning*—Josh(@thejoshmckinney) finally delivers on his promise to break down *exactly* how to watch tape, instructionals, class demos, and even TikTok clips so they translate into real-world taps. You’ll learn the “one-detail rule” that fixes a thousand mistakes, why 30 focused minutes beats a three-hour YouTube binge, and how to train your eyes to spot winning cues before they happen. From elbows-tight fundamentals to black-belt-level pattern recognition, Josh walks you step-by-step through building study sessions that actually stick. We’ll dissect: - **Positional film study**—spotting the underhook that ruins your week and the back-take you never finish.- **Seminar survival**—sharpening attention so you keep the gold and ditch the noise.- **Instructional triage**—using short-form clips for inspiration, then diving into long-form context.- **Advanced tactics**—predicting your favorite athlete’s next move (and why that superpower matters). Whether you’re a white belt drowning in details or a coach looking to give your team an edge, this episode hands you a full blueprint—minimal fluff, maximum mat return. Grab your notebook, hit play, and turn every replay into rounds you win. 🎧 **Listen. Study. Dominate.** If the episode helps, drop a review, share it with a teammate, and let us know what move you’re fixing next!

Mini Ep. 54: Controlling the Distance

In this week's mini-episode we discuss **controlling the distance,** a key lesson in most martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As general advice, many instructors will coach you to close the distance when attacking and make space when defending. While this is often true, in this mini-episode we'll explore the exceptions to that rule and settle on a more general guideline for controlling the distance: **find the distance where you can control them but they can't control you.** Get our Intro to Mechanics audio course, normally $79, FREE: [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintro](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintro) **Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!** If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.
