White belts should teach white belts! Controversial statement: JT believes that beginners should be teaching as part of their learning to help them to formalise their thinking.

Whether its writing, public speaking, cooking food of running a Jiu-Jitsu seminar teaching and sharing info is the new unlock for you to improve your BJJ.

Should white belts learn leg locks? Is this a dangerous approach to learning BJJ for beginners? Some would say to steer clear of this risky business but JT is planting a flag for the Heel Hooks for White Belts. But why would he say something so controversial?
JT & Joey break down both sides of the argument, the pros and cons and why the evolution of BJJ is calling for a change in what we are teaching. Heel Hooks are not fundamental but they have changed the game and as a result we need to upgrade how we approach this complex subject.

The BJJ lifestyle is sold as healthy- but is it? When you dedicate yourself to the Jiu-Jitsu journey there are many bad habits that you pick up along the way in the name of getting better at the art. This may cause chaos, injury and disfunction in other parts of your life but we excuse these problems because we love BJJ so much.
If you ask your coach they will always say to show up everyday. This is not necessarily the best advice. Rolling to win and always pushing not to Tap or be submitted is another bad habit even though you might think these are the traits of a champion.
JT & Joey unpack what you need to avoid in order to stay healthier mentally and physically to improve your BJJ longevity.

Have you had forced time off the mats? Want to train but can't due to illness, injury or no BJJ available - you need alternatives. Joey & JT discuss what they like to do when Jiu-Jitsu isn't an option. Staying active off the mats is essential to being healthy physically and mentally. Sitting on the couch is easy to do but will make your BJJ comeback much harder and can lead to future injury.
These strategies are helpful for anyone who is battling mental health issues because they can't get their Jiu-Jitsu fix.
