How To BJJ

Today Ramon and I discuss the absolute hardest part of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu journey, waking into the gym and on the mat for your first class!

This is for those that are not training at the moment, but have been wanting to! Watch this video or share with someone you know that has been considering learning BJJ.🤙

Today Ramon and I discuss and demonstrate why its important to get on your side be it in a roll or in a self-defense situation. 🤙

Even after years of training, I still neglect this basic principle at times.

The one position I continually struggle with is defending kesa! Especially after I am fatigued and out of breath, I tend to give up...which is why and I are working on this position today.

If your not having some fun on the mat, it might be time to start!

Having some fun today with this sweep, roll to triangle choke today.🤙

It takes 10-14 years on average to earn a blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. But, what can someone learn in 5 minutes that could keep you safe in a self-defense situation? With 20 years of experience BJJ blackbelt Drew Saldana shows us his 5 minute lesson on self-defense.

Do you like to flow roll?

I think it's a great way to warm up, plus it's a nice opportunity to see things that you might not normally see in a full speed roll.

If you train, you MUST wash your gi after every use!

I wash my gi within an hour or two after training. I have a couple of hacks for removing odors and keeping it white without the use of bleach. Let me know how you wash your gi.

Does anyone else hate to cut their toenails? 😖

Well, you have to cut both your toenails and fingernails on a regular basis if you want to follow proper etiquette for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.🤙
