We do not start teaching joint locks or choke holds until a student is 10 years old or older. Once a kid demonstrates that they can be responsible, we introduce them to submissions. In this video: Isa is basing her weight on her hands to make her hips light, so that he may turn her torso and swing her legs perpendicular to Alex’s trunk and trap his arm. The drill has students working on attacking both sides of their opponents body. Let me know at the academy if you have any questions.
Ben, a seventh grader, is doing a good job of pulling and maintaining guard against a more experienced ninth grader. Ben is going to be an excellent grappler.
On this episode, Chewy and Eugene talk to Judo U.S. National Champion, U.S. Open Champion, World Cup Medalist, and Medical Doctor Austin Cook. Austin also specializes in teaching No-Gi Judo on his Instagram page @badboymedicine https://www.instagram.com/badboymedicine/
Austin joins the podcast to discuss his start in Judo, his process for learning Jiu-Jitsu, whether Judo or Jiu-Jitsu is more sustainable for longevity, how he got into BJJ, the cross-over between wrestling, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu, why he stopped grappling for 6 years, whether you should specialize in a sport, how his medical experience changed his ideas on training, ideas on decreasing overtraining, the incredible benefit he got from "shadow drilling," how to handle competition nerves, how high-level Judo practice is structured, the idea behind his Instagram page @badboymedicine, social media trolls, the biggest difference between Judo and BJJ, how he maintains a high level of skill while training once every couple of weeks, and ideas on longevity for grappling.

This week we're joined again by Josh "Kintanon" Wentworth! Josh joins us to break down a powerful and underloved position: the honey badger. This is effectively when you "turtle" inside your opponent's guard and dig for a double under or stack pass. It's an amazing tactic for opening and passing the guard, especially against larger opponents.

Coach Alejandro teaching the little ones how to control the head and arm in closed guard. We can use all four limbs in the guard to control our opponent. One hand on the head, one hand on the hand, and closed legs pulling your opponent down. Teaching the young ones is such a task. With a first time student walking around during the instruction. Showing them patience is critical for young kids to learn. When they start wrestling it is always so amazing how much they actually learned.
Do you want to be the best in the world at BJJ? Killing your local comps but not sure how to take it to the next level? JT & Joey respond to a Bulletproof For BJJ Podcast listener (Big Harris) who wanted to know what is the best way to approach preparing for competing at a BJJ World Championship.
It is not as simple as just signing up as the standard bar for competition Jiu-Jitsu has been raised through the roof. It is possible for anyone who has the right plan, time and energy to fully commit to the process- but what are the steps. From The Miyao Brothers, Leandro Lo, Lachlan Giles to Craig Jones there is a pattern that helped build these legends of the grappling game. The boys outline an approach that you can take to take your competition BJJ game to the next level.

If you have never squatted with a heavy bar on your back it is a very intense thing- but it's not the only way. There are many great take aways from this discussion and simply listening to this will improve your back squat by at least 20%.

During every class we do positional sparring. Limiting the kids grappling to a specific position in Jiu Jitsu. This type of training allows kids to concentrate on the position we worked on in that particular class. It also allows kids to grapple from positions they don’t always get to try when we do regular rolling. In this video the top person is working on opening the legs and getting passed the bottom person’s legs to pin them on their back. The bottom person is working on rolling the top person on their back and getting an advantage over the top person.

Coach Alejandro is showing the little ones how to breakdown an opponent from the closed guard. He begins with two hands on one hand control. With two hands on one control, kids can disrupt their opponents posture. This control will impede the top person’s ability to open their opponents legs, and allow the bottom person to setup sweeps and attacks. Let us know if you have any questions when you visit us at the academy.

Do you train leg locks? Is there a greater chance of injury if you play with the fire that is the Leg lock game? If you need your knees intact to feed your family is it worth the risk of an ACL reconstruction?
As a white belt in BJJ what is the best way to expand your skills? There are so many different options to study the game and the boys breakdown what they prefer.
If you are a wrestler, ex-pro MMA fighter and now a Jiu Jitsu white Belt wrecking havoc tapping senior belts by the dozen- should you be teaching? People are asking how can they be beastly like you- how do you give advice?

Are you trying to get stronger for BJJ? There is a single exercise that develops total body strength - The Turkish Get Up. Essentially it is a combination of 5 different movements, if you have ever done a technical stand up you will recognise the sequence. This all in one exercise trains you to be strong everywhere- Shoulder, trunk, hips, knees and grip. It will strengthen your frames, improves hip mobility and gets you powerful coming up off the floor which translates well to wrestling.
Hoisting weight above your head can be quite risky so there are particular things you need to follow to stay safe. JT & Joey go deep on all the pros and cons, technique variations and the best way for you to incorporate it into your training to get stronger for grappling.
Here is the best technique break down you will find-
