Are you ready for a terrifying episode that will cause you to shake with fear? Then you may want to find a true crime podcast because those are much scarier. If you’re willing to settle for a milder experience then stick around because this week we have a go at making an episode with a Halloween theme.

Just Jiu Jitsu ·

2019/10/20

Without Mitsuyo Maeda, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu would be very different from what we know today. Maeda, also known as Count Koma, started training Judo under the legendary Kano Jigoro. After gaining the respect of his peer, he started traveling the world with the sole purpose of demonstrating the efficacy of Judo. During his time in Brazil, he met and trained a fourteen year old Carlos Gracie. Maeda taught Carlos a lot about Judo and the philosophy of self defense. Anyone who trains Brazilian Jiu

It’s time to show some love for the older men and women who train! Starting jiu jitsu at a late age is no small feat. At first it can be taxing mentally and physically, but soon the payoff comes when you start seeing hard-earned improvement. Being the old person in the room means you need to train smarter. As you progress in years, you have to become more strategic. This mentality fosters sharp technique and a methodic mindset. In this episode we talk about the challenges and rewards that come

The classic two hand guillotine can stop an aggressive opponent in their tracks. Anytime someone pushes forward and leaves their neck out, the guillotine is an option. Big or small, this submission works on all body types.

Intelligent, passionate, technical, wild, tough, hilarious, all of these traits are contained in Renzo Gracie. It is unusual to have these characteristics in a single person because they seem to be conflicting with one another. That’s what makes Renzo so fascinating. One moment he can be in a fight where he shows grit and brutality, twenty minutes later he is in the locker room smiling and laughing with his opponent. On top of his complex personality, he has also produced some of the best jiu

Flow Rolling

2019/08/04

Flow rolling is frequently talked about in jiu jitsu circles. Everyone seems to have different advice on how to do it, or even what it is exactly. Flow rolling is a time to be playful. Using this approach will allow your rolls to become more experimental. You and your partner will end up in positions that you may not usually experience. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable during your flow rolls in order to try new techniques and concepts.

Everyone has been told to “slow down” while rolling. What does this mean? When you’re brand new this advice can be counterintuitive and frustrating. Understanding this paramount concept will change your game. Managing the finite amount of energy you posses will allow you to make educated decisions in the heat of battle. In this episode we talk about strategies for dictating pace and how to economically expend energy.

When Hélio Gracie's arm was broken by Masahiko Kimura in 1951, it was with a submission he had never seen. Hélio's reaction epitomized Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; he began studying the armlock used to defeat him and soon it was added to his toolkit. From that day forward the Kimura submission has been a part of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nowadays the Kimura is used from many different positions to submit and control opponents. A testament to the technique, after all these years the basic mechanics remain the

Everyone rolls differently. Some people act as a general going to battle. They enjoy going over different scenarios they may encounter and coming up with tactics to overcome anything an opponent may throw their way. Other people take a completely different approach. Their decisions are made by what they feel in the moment. Moves are made spontaneously as the individual responds to what is enfolding in front of them. What can we learn from both ends of the spectrum? Two greatly varying

Behind a warm smile and welcoming demeanor resides a skill set that few in the jiu jitsu community could handle.
