#368 You Learned BJJ All Wrong!

I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

What if everything you’ve been told about “fundamentals” in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is wrong?For years you’ve heard it. Focus on the basics. Master the fundamentals. Drill the same moves over and over. But what if that advice is actually the reason you feel stuck on the mats?In this episode, Josh breaks down the biggest lie in BJJ and explains why there are no fundamental techniques. Jiu Jitsu is not a collection of moves. It is a series of problems that must be solved in real time.You’ll learn why top athletes don’t think in techniques, how to identify the real tasks that win you rounds, and how to stop becoming the victim of a thousand moves. This episode will completely change how you approach training, drilling, and building your own game.If you’ve ever felt like your Jiu Jitsu isn’t clicking, this is the shift you’ve been missing.Watch this before your next training session.Try this in training. Ask yourself what has to happen for you to win a round. Track what happens when you lose. Focus on accomplishing the same task with less strength and less movement every session.New episodes every Thursday. Subscribe if you want to suck less at Jiu Jitsu.

TRAPPED in a Body Triangle? Do THIS to Instantly Break It.

Getting trapped in a body triangle used to mean a slow, exhausting submission. Not anymore. John Danaher student and No-Gi phenom Luke Griffith shows Bernardo Faria a zero-effort, highly mechanical Body Triangle Escape that literally breaks the lock in seconds. If you are tired of getting your back taken by younger, more flexible grapplers and burning all your cardio trying to escape, this video is your cure. Luke reveals a concept we are calling the "Inside Wedge"—a leverage-based trick that uses your body weight to create unbearable tension on your opponent's lock, forcing them to open their legs or face the pain. No explosive bridging or wild scrambling required. Bernardo Faria himself was mind-blown, stating he lost all his control in just 5 seconds. Watch how the pros neutralize the most dominant position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 🏆 Master Your Escapes: Want to learn the rest of Luke Griffith’s world-class escape system?
