#323 The Ultimate Guide to BJJ Tape Study


Listen Later

Stop doom-scrolling and start skill-scrolling. In this episode—the Ultimate Guide to Visual BJJ Learning—Josh(@thejoshmckinney) finally delivers on his promise to break down exactly how to watch tape, instructionals, class demos, and even TikTok clips so they translate into real-world taps. You’ll learn the “one-detail rule” that fixes a thousand mistakes, why 30 focused minutes beats a three-hour YouTube binge, and how to train your eyes to spot winning cues before they happen.


From elbows-tight fundamentals to black-belt-level pattern recognition, Josh walks you step-by-step through building study sessions that actually stick.

We’ll dissect:

  • Positional film study—spotting the underhook that ruins your week and the back-take you never finish.

  • Seminar survival—sharpening attention so you keep the gold and ditch the noise.

  • Instructional triage—using short-form clips for inspiration, then diving into long-form context.

  • Advanced tactics—predicting your favorite athlete’s next move (and why that superpower matters).

Whether you’re a white belt drowning in details or a coach looking to give your team an edge, this episode hands you a full blueprint—minimal fluff, maximum mat return. Grab your notebook, hit play, and turn every replay into rounds you win.

🎧 Listen. Study. Dominate. If the episode helps, drop a review, share it with a teammate, and let us know what move you’re fixing next!
