In BJJ, if you’re really flexible, should you focus on the basics of BJJ or should you move towards the more advanced position and techniques?
This is a question I received recently.
And I’ll say this. I think it’s always worth exploring different positions and techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Regardless of whether or not you think you can use them yet or not.
But in the beginning I think it is wise to focus on the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I compare it to a home.
When you walk into a home do you pay much attention to the foundation?
For most people the answer is “No.” For most people they notice all the aesthetics that make the house attractive and enjoyable to live inside.
But if the foundation is falling apart, you can kiss all of that stuff goodbye.
And it’s the same in BJJ.
You can get into the more advanced techniques. But without a solid foundation in grappling. Your game will fall apart eventually.
If you’re a BJJ White Belt or someone who is curious about the basics and fundamentals in BJJ. I hope this video is useful to you.

We hear a lot of BJJ practitioners having problems grappling with the bigger guys, but bigger guys have a problem dealing with the speed of the smaller guys (and ladies) as well.
Imagine what happens when the big guys learn to move fast like the little guys!
The video below show how to do it!

The short answer is “yes.”
A large portion of people, if not most of them, start jiu-jitsu as out of shape adults. Even if you lift weights or run regularly, jiu-jitsu is a special kind of workout. Even if you are in shape, you are probably not in jiu-jitsu shape.
It is a rite of passage to gain jiu-jitsu conditioning. This is where you learn to regulate your breathing under duress thereby making it seem as though you have superior cardiovascular power.
It is fine to run out of energy and to need to take a break, or a round off. This is the process of learning BJJ.
Some wonder if they should get in shape before starting BJJ! No! Start BJJ right away. It is the most practical and fun way to get in shape that there is!
It is not uncommon to lose around 3 pounds during a touch Jiu-Jitsu class.
People who say they want to get in shape before starting BJJ rarely take steps to do it. If they weren’t motivated enough to start BJJ, it’s unlikely they will start working out or going to a fitness gym either.
A good BJJ instructor will account for your physical fitness, be patient and encouraging, and push you.
If you’ve thought of doing BJJ, stop making excuses, find a gym, sign up for a free class and stick with it long enough to really tell if it’s right for you.
More than likely you will find that it is!
