The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast

Rob Biernacki is my professor, a BJJ black belt under Caio Terra, the creator of BJJConcepts.net, and the head instructor at Island Top Team in Nanaimo. He is known around the world for his conceptual approach to Jiu-Jitsu and has recently developed a system for what he calls "The Roadhouse Choke." We talk about this submission in depth (yes, it really works), his recent seminar tour to Europe, and why Rory sucks so bad at BJJ.

Dallas O’Regan is a black belt under Jeff Joslin and the owner of Dallas O’Regan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Cochrane, Alberta Canada. I had the pleasure of meeting Dallas after our students have competed against each other multiple times this last year at a few different competitions. His youth competition team is very high level, and he has a few young students that are standouts on the world stage. We discuss the old school BJJ mentality in the modern age, the efficacy of seminars, running the gauntlet, and building world level youth competitors in BJJ despite being based out of a small town.

I’ve noticed the older I get, the more my desire for attaining a new skill grows. Life is hectic and making time to pursue a new skill can seem downright impossible, but you should never neglect the value of learning something new. In this episode, I talk about how skills enrich our lives, the stages of skill development, how to learn new skills more efficiently, and the biggest mistakes people make when they embark on the path of learning a new skill.

The ADCC Vancouver Open has finished and I am here to tell my biggest stories, reflections, and takeaways from the tournament. I discuss my youth team’s performance, stories about horrible refereeing, and new donkey guard scoring criteria that I learned at the rules meeting. Although I couldn’t participate in the competition myself, I learned a lot just from coaching from the side.

When we begin a new skill, we never really know where to focus our learning. In a systems-based activity like Jiu Jitsu, as beginners, we need to know where to first focus our attention. What systems are most valuable, and what makes these systems so important early on in our journey? I discuss my top 5 systems for every beginner (you may be surprised). Also, I discuss my experience competing last weekend at The Revolution in Puyallup, Washington… spoiler alert; I hurt myself. I talk about my injury, what we gain from injuries, and the aftermath of the setback.

In a sport as limitless as Jiu Jitsu, every coach must ask themselves the same question… How the hell am I going to teach this stuff to people? With so many ways to structure your practices, how do we know if we are doing it right? In this episode, I discuss training to become a better athlete for Jiu Jistu, separating the weight room from the tatami, making drilling productive, and the ecological approach. Whether or not we can ever make practice perfect, we can always try.

Do you want to get the most out of your time in BJJ? In this episode, I discuss the biggest things that will stifle your growth in the sport (and in life). I talk about hesitation, routines, mindset, and investing in loss. I also touch on weigh-ins with/without the Gi, and what I would do differently in my BJJ journey if I could go back in time.
If you spend enough time in this sport, plateaus are inevitable… I hope some of these tips can help you break through plateaus and reach new levels on the mats!
