Do you focus on mastering Techniques or understanding Concepts? A lot of early learning in BJJ is shaped and guided by the Instructor but at some point you will do your best to try to get better independently. Which is better to focus on- the technical details of a submission or the reason why it is applicable in the situation? The "How" & the 'Why" are both important components of mastering BJJ but where should you start? JT & Joey discuss how approaching the game from 2 very different angles can work, while also going deeper on the interplay between them and how this can unlock a new level of Jiu-Jitsu for you.

Have you done a Crossfit Workout? Can you complete a W.O.D. and then roll in the same day? For some of you Crossfit is a way of life as much as BJJ, for others it might seem like a crazy sport for hardcore people who like to suffer.(Coincidence?) Both BJJ and Crossfit have massive dedicated communities who live and die by the Cultures credos. Though they may seem to be polar opposite the 2 cultures have more in common than you might realise. JT & Joey break down what Crossfit does well and the value that our BJJ Fam can derive from another group of hardcore, dedicated people. They also highlight where it can go wrong and how this is avoidable to get the best out of this intense sport that mirrors our own.

Usar a levantada técnica pra defesa de passagem de guarda. Caso a perna fique presa, prender o punho, fazer uma raspagem passando a perna por cima da cabeça do oponente e fazer um gancho na virilha. Completar o giro com um rolamento e finalizar com um arm lock.

Michael Liera Jr joins the show for a very honest and candid discussion about some of the pitfalls Jiu-Jitsu athletes can face in their pursuit of a world championship. He also explains why he doesn't use a set curriculum when teaching.

"I truly believe I can create luck." That's something you'll hear if you listen to interviews with Wesley Seek. Wesley, better known by his handle LambySeries - or Lamby for short - is a world-class competitive card gamer, previously achieving Grandmaster status in Hearthstone and currently considered the best Marvel Snap player in the world. This episode serves two purposes. First, to feed Steve's crippling Marvel Snap addiction. And second, to give Lamby a platform to share his sport-agnostic advice on creating luck, shaping the meta, and playing through tilt.

This was by far the strongest individual I have ever rolled with. He would get a sleeve grip that I just couldnt break and almost couldnt move. So I decided to try and get my own grip that would threaten him enough to get him to change his grips. Thought I would get called stalling for not moving much cause I just couldnt get the grips I wanted. As you can see I get mount twice but get pushed right off like nothing. I was leading this match 7 - 2 near the end. About 1.5 minutes left I get rolled. I stuck my hand where I shouldnt have. I should have just hid everything and held on until the end. He capitalized on my mistake and it cost me this match. I honestly believe it cost me the Gold Medal. Until next time! Music: Tomas Herudek - Roots Thank you for watching.

Have you ever done Sandbag Training? It is one of the toughest tools to help grapplers get fitter and stronger. The slippery and unpredictable nature of sandbags closely resembles squeezing and controlling another human. During Covid Lockdown in 2020 JT trained with sandbags and a couple of Kettlebells and saw his strength skyrocket. Every week he got stronger which blew him away. Both the Bulletproof boys use Sandbags in their strength training and they discuss how the raw strength and grappling specific gripping has direct cross over to rolling. This is a wide ranging discussion of how less technical lifting and greater force production results in massive strength gains for BJJ.
