During last weeks show we had a question about throwing punches at a person that’s getting his next rank. Kipperdoodles made it clear that he thought this was a dumb idea and he doesn’t do Jiu Jitsu to get punched in the face. He doesn’t even do it for self defense. So why would I need to have people beating on me in order to get promoted?

The boys used the flick chat app to come up with the pro tip for the first time. If you don’t have the app yet be sure and get it and become part of the conversation.

The boys talk about what exactly anti Jiu Jitsu is and why it’s bad for your game. This term has been thrown around a bit lately and there has been some confusion as to exactly what it means.

The boys read and article titled “The arctic, Jiu Jitsu, and Perspective” from simplebjj.com.

The boys talk about why you should focus on developing a strong closed guard game, especially at the beginning of your BJJ journey.

they read an article by not other than...Paul Elliot from simplebjj.com about solving puzzles that you’re going to encounter in BJJ whether you’re attacking or defending.

Kroyler Gracie and Andrew for The Just Jiu Jitsu podcast join the boys for some great banter

This week the boys finish up the “pro tip” about athleticism and Jiu Jitsu

This really shows up in the competition scene where most people look like Adonis or some other such Greek mythological person.
