Short episode today with my friend Denis Kang sharing three ways that fighters have improved their training methods to get ready for MMA fights. Denis fought for the first time in 1998 (in an event without gloves) and went on to fight a total of 55 times in events like the UFC, PRIDE, DREAM, Impact FC, M-1 Global, K-1 HERO'S, ROAD FC, and Pancrase. Denis currently teaches MMA at Pinnacle Martial Arts in Richmond, BC.

Episode 344: IBJJF 2024 was a controversial championship! There was a disqualification of Tainan Dalpra against Francisco Lo which was to a questionable judgement with no bad intentions involved and the position technically not illegal but was deemed a heel hook attack. This left the Gi worlds crowd with a bad vibe. Has the rule structure started to really negatively impact the game. Could Heel Hooks save the Gi Game? This one change would significantly change the way the game is being played, worm guard would be risky, 50/50 wouldn't be safe and stalling would be deadly with new leg attacks available. This recent IBJJF World championships has highlighted the growing gap between the dynamic nature of modern No-Gi grappling and how Gi jiu-jitsu rules are just dragging the game down.

In this week's mini-episode, we're discussing **frames!** You probably know what a frame is, but I'm guessing you haven't walked through the concept as in-depth as we'll do here today! Let's talk about how we define a "frame," when we want to use frames, what makes frames useful, and when frames become a liability. This is the first in a six-part series of mini-episodes we're doing on the **core mechanics** of Jiu-Jitsu: **frames, levers, wedges, clamps, hooks,** and **posts.** **Further study:** Ep. 127: Frames, feat.

Renato Canuto joins the show to talk about pay for Jiu-Jitsu athletes, his upcoming MMA debut and his open-minded approach to rolling and competing. He also dives deep on improving your armbar success rate and how to fix holes in your game!

Episode 343: Are you struggling to remember what was taught in class this week? When coaches teach a different technique and concept every week, it can be hard to keep up and retain the information. BJJ as a body of knowledge is constantly growing and evolving with specialised techniques and strategies for both Gi and No-Gi grappling. JT & Joey dig deeper on what can help and hinder your learning at Jiu-Jitsu and why spending multiple sessions on one position or a sequence of attacks and defences can really help you achieve a good understanding and real learning. Everybody learns differently but giving people more opportunity and greater exposure to skills is key, this might require a different approach to the way coaches are teaching week to week. Joey explains his recent experience having wins with his students learning back control and JT talks about how being competitive and not making mistakes can actually mess up your learning. When you struggle to remember what's being taught in class its hard to build your game and make progress, this is where you could benefit from choosing your own personal BJJ project and working on it consistently.

Today Professor Uros Culic sharing knowledge on what to do when our opponent presents options shutting down our leg entries from the K Guard. As our opponent begins to fear us getting into his legs, they will often present a lower posture using tools such as the cross face. This is the perfect time to attack the upper body (specifically arm bar variations, omoplatas, flower sweeps and even butterfly sweep variations)

Roy Dean returns to discuss the different levels of mastery that exist in Jiu-Jitsu that become more obvious as you pursue the art over time. Things like strategy, creating and recognizing traps and the importance of using Kazushi are all topics we cover!

On this episode, we answer the question of whether you should always focus on "position before submission" in Jiu-Jitsu. We discuss getting chokes without solidifying a position, using leg locks, advantageous positions that aren't the "traditional"BJJ positions, the benefits of position before submission for beginners, how submissions are initiated through transitions, how tournament rules dictate the grappling style, a rule that is commonly broken in Jiu-Jitsu, and the importance of being coachable.

Episode 338: How many times have you heard your coach say "Any Questions guys?" BUT... No one says anything! This is a huge missed opportunity to learn for the sake of not looking stupid. This is a strange phenomena for a room full of people who are confident enough to wrestle and choke each other but feel embarrassed to speak in front of a small group of people. This is holding back your BJJ development. When it's question time, this is the best time to speak up! If you wait and continue to train leaving it till later ultimately results in forgetting and zero improvement. JT & Joey explore how you can find out what you need to know on your own terms with many different options for improving your game and developing a method for jiu-jitsu problem solving that suits you.
