Do you love a good Open Mat session? Ever dropped in at another club for a casual roll? Recently JT went to 2 very different Academies and got amongst it at their open mat sessions. It was by all accounts rekindling of JT's love of the game. But it also raised different questions around the social aspect of BJJ and why meeting a complete stranger and trying to strangle them is good for both parties. If your gym's policies do not allow cross training it is worth asking some questions- Maybe you can be the wind of change that helps expand the learning and contributes to your gym's culture.

When planning a vacation and visiting a new gym how do you approach rolling people as a new white belt and being a woman? If a higher belt who you don't know brings a smash intensity to the roll what can you do? Is having a chat an option or is this communication taboo? When we go back down the lineage of BJJ influence could the most Influential person be Jigoro Kano?

On top of being a BJJ Black Belt, Cameron Shayne is the father of Mixed Movement Arts and a lifetime Yoga teacher. He talks about mobility for Jiu-Jitsu, finding purpose in your training, morality in martial arts and offsetting a sedentary lifestyle

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss what makes the difference between white belt and black belt level techniques and how black belts make "basic" techniques so effective. We discuss one of the biggest factors to developing black belt level techniques, the intuition and feel that develops with experience, learning physical cues of BJJ techniques, the process of learning and developing black belt level techniques, why training hard isn't the fastest way to get better, the value of focused drilling, when you should focus on your best techniques, how to utilize solo drills as well as the benefits of solo drills, and the main concepts and ideas of what make a black belt level technique.

Are you training enough to get better? Or are you surviving on 1 BJJ class a week? If you are trying to improve at anything there is a sweet spot on the right amount of exposure to the skill you need to get better. Too much will have diminishing returns and can lead to injury, too little and you stagnate or even go backwards. From mastering a Pull up to perfecting a sweep the right Dosage for you to master that skill is uniquely individual. JT & Joey breakdown their different approaches in the gym and on the mat to find out just how much you need to do to level up.

In this episode Host Josh McKinney(@thejoshmckinney) breaks down two brutal beatings he's taken in BJJ competition and how they were pre cursors to some of Josh's most game changing concepts.

How strong do you need to be for BJJ? Is there such thing as too much strength? In BJJ culture strength often has shame thrown on it as a lack of technique. But we all know that being stronger is an advantage on the mats. If you are already lifting, feel strong and want to get stronger that is a great goal but how much more work do you need to do to get there? Do you even need to get any Stronger? The Bulletproof Boys examine the major lifts and discuss what level of strength you should be aiming relevant to your bodyweight. This should serve as a general purpose guide, so you can recognise when you are strong enough at a movement and instead of doubling down put that time and energy into something else that might help your Jiu-Jitsu more effectively.
