For those of you who would if you could sleep, eat, and drink BJJ I have a mug that shows you are making the first steps towards it.  Click HERE or on the picture to see it in 3D.  The Jiu-Jitsu Triangle Mug is a great gift idea also for that MMA or grappler addict in your life too!

We practice choking someone out all the time in BJJ but no one ever tells you what happens when you get in a real world situation and what it will be like.  Here is what I have gathered from sources that have choked some one out in real street fights.  This is step by step what happens from what I’ve gathered.

1. The person being choked starts to be sluggish.

1. You can’t go to sleep at night because you keep thinking about your last roll and how you could have dominated if only you had . . .

1. Don’t pick the first school you see.  Not all Jiu Jitsu schools are created equal, shop around. Visit the schools that look interesting.  Most schools offer a free class or two.  Take them up on it before you sign up.

In BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) submission is king!  To win the mental and physical game of chess is everyone’s goal.  Every newbie to the mat starts out with only one thought “MAK’EM TAP OUT”.  I include my self in that statement.  I didn’t think about cunning and technique to start out.  I only wanted my first Arm Bar or Triangle Choke.  I focused everything on it.  Now that I have my… Continue reading

Its 2:00am and I can’t sleep.  Why?  Well, Jiu-Jitsu of course!  I was awaked for another reason but when I tried to go back to sleep I started thinking of my passion, Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  The next thing I know I am tensing up.  I keep thinking of things I could do or would like to try out.  To make matters worse I missed my last two classes due… Continue reading | 2 Comments
