Technique

Tuesday morning training 11/28/23 starts with drills to warm up. Passing, then attacking going back and forth for 5 minutes. Followed by standing drills. Fun times making memories with the great Leo Vieira. Because we can.

Neil Melanson returns to talk about setting traps in grappling, the value of creating dilemmas and why you should program sequences in your mind, especially for No-Gi. He also talks about controlling various body types and funny nicknames on the mats

Are you concerned you might hurt your back? There are many misconceptions around this cornerstone of strength, how it's performed and what it's good for. JT & Joey are advocates for this important lift and have benefitted from it's many virtues. They dissect what this movement does for you and how you can incorporate it into your training to be better for Jiu-Jitsu. They dispel the myths, the problems and mishaps that can occur so you can avoid these pitfalls and be successful while deadlifting like a champ.

This pass causes a lot of people issues and I have been seeing it all over the internet lately. Well, I created this counter almost 20 years ago when it was first tried on me. This counter, not only stops the pass, it can also put your opponent in danger. This is just an example of what you can expect on my new instructional site. Link below. Enjoy. https://camarillojj.com/on-demand/

2x NCAA Wrestling Champion Nick Gwiazdowski joins the show to talk about elite competition mindset, the utility of positive affirmations and why you MUST drill often to execute moves without thinking. He also describes the perfect cheeseburger!

Want the worst BJJ game at your gym? Well then join us on this episode to get the 10 sure-fire ways to have an awful BJJ game. - It's no secret that consistency is important for skill development, so if you want to be terrible at BJJ, then train as inconsistently as possible. - Strength training is an important part of decreasing injury risk and improving your performance on the mats, so make sure to avoid lifting weights. - Your body is a machine that runs as well as you fuel it, so eat a terrible diet of fast food and processed foods to make it run inefficiently. - Sleep is crucial for recovery and performance, so make sure to get some terrible sleep. - Adjusting training intensity is important in skill development and being a good training partner, so to be terrible, always train as hard as possible. - Instead of focusing on improving your weak areas in grappling to be more well-rounded, just only play your "A-Game" and never improve your BJJ skills. - Having a great relationship with your coaches and training partners is important to building community and being a part of a great gym environment, so to be terrible, just brag about all of the submissions you get on your training partners and essentially be one of the training partners who "taps and talks." - Jiu-Jitsu requires endurance and a controlled pace, so make sure to get as hyper as possible and drink lots of caffeine before training so that way your heart will beat out of your chest and you will need a rest round ASAP. - Focused drilling will make your BJJ game improve significantly, but if you want to be terrible, just don't pay attention in class and take plenty of breaks while thinking about other things. - Hygiene is important to having a healthy gym and a good training environment, so don't wash your gear and never trim your nails so that you can spread infections and mat funk. We thought it would be fun to come up with some terrible ideas and make the podcast more of an "opposite" episode. Make sure that you continue to improve your game, take care of yourself, and your training partners to keep training fun and to continue your growth in BJJ.

Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20 [https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals](https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals) Should white belts learn leg locks? Is this a dangerous approach to learning BJJ for beginners? Some would say to steer clear of this risky business but JT is planting a flag for the Heel Hooks for White Belts. But why would he say something so controversial? JT & Joey break down both sides of the argument, the pros and cons and why the evolution of BJJ is calling for a change in what we are teaching. Heel Hooks are not fundamental but they have changed the game and as a result we need to upgrade how we approach this complex subject.

Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20 [https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals](https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals) The BJJ lifestyle is sold as healthy- but is it? When you dedicate yourself to the Jiu-Jitsu journey there are many bad habits that you pick up along the way in the name of getting better at the art. This may cause chaos, injury and disfunction in other parts of your life but we excuse these problems because we love BJJ so much. If you ask your coach they will always say to show up everyday. This is not necessarily the best advice. Rolling to win and always pushing not to Tap or be submitted is another bad habit even though you might think these are the traits of a champion. JT & Joey unpack what you need to avoid in order to stay healthier mentally and physically to improve your BJJ longevity.
