Your Parachute Guard Method Your Parachute Guard Method Choosing a guard system should be like shopping for a parachute for skydiving. It’s not something you should ever skimp on the quality or design, for any price. This is how you should treat your guard game in Jiu-Jitsu. The guard is the number one thing that separates BJJ from all other grappling arts, wrestling, sambo, catch wrestling, sumo wrestling, etc. Deciding on a guard is the most. When you can’t control or submit an opponent from bottom. Just need to get on top and change the tempo. Sweep threat also opens up subs. Assuming you already understand the general theory of guard retention and recovery, you are ready to choose your parachute. You can’t just pick any parachute. This is one part of BJJ that relies on body type. Think about: -Body type -Admire most Compact body type: Butterfly-Guard System Sweeps: Suma geishi, X-guard, Scissor, Half butterfly, armdrag backtake/sweep ​ Instructors/Competitors: Adam Wardzinksi, John Danaher, Marcelo Garcia, Garry Tonon, Tom ​ ​ ​ DeBlass Half-Guard System Sweeps: Deep half, z-guard, half-butterfly, dogfight, electric chair, x-guard, z-guard, sit-up to ​ single-leg td Instructors/Competitors: Bernardo Faria, Jeff Glover, Marcelo Garcia, Lucas Leite, Eddie Bravo, ​ ​ ​ Garry Tonon X-Guard System (best hybrid for gi and nogi) Sweeps: Tilt Sweep, X ankle pick sweep, Technical stand sweep ​ Instructors/Competitors: John Danaher, Marcelo Garcia, Tony Ferguson, Keenan Cornelius, ​ Garry Tonon, Eddie Cummings, Romulo Barral Lanky body type: Closed-Guard System Sweeps: Scissor sweep, pendulum sweep (w/armbar option), omoplata sweep, kimura hip ​ bump sweep Instructors/Competitors: Kron Gracie, Roger Gracie, Richie Martinez, Gordon Ryan, Charles ​ Oliveira, Jeremiah Vance, Brandon McCaghren De La Riva-Guard System Sweeps: Tripod sweep, Reverse DLR spiral sweep/backtake (crabride), berimbolo ​ backtake/sweep, Mantis to X-sweeps Instructors/Competitors: Mikey Musemeci, Rafael Mendes, Gui Mendes, Keenan Cornelius, ​ Joao Miyao, Paulo Miyao X-Guard System (best hybrid for gi and nogi) Sweeps: Tilt Sweep, X ankle pick sweep, Technical stand sweep ​ Instructors/Competitors: John Danaher, Marcelo Garcia, Tony Ferguson, Keenan Cornelius, ​ Garry Tonon, Eddie Cummings, Romulo Barral Action: Categorize yourself as either compact or lanky (no self-body shaming allowed :P). Then ​ ​ choose one of the systems that interest you. Maybe you’ve already used with some success or it just fascinates you. Then start searching some of the competitor names and see which one makes you go “laptop beastmode”. Then, write on a piece of paper the system/microsystem, 2 or 3 competitors you like to watch, and one instructor you might be able to learn from (either online or in-person). Note: Your instructor might be one of the competitors, but it doesn’t have to be. Often the best teachers are not competitors. Where to find instructors: ● Your professor ● An advanced classmate (ideally purple belt or higher) ● DVD/streaming instructionals (ex: BJJ fanatics, budovideos, etc.) ● Online academy subscription (ex: MGinaction, Mastering the System, Rogergracie.tv, etc.) .

  • The Blue Belt Roadmap by Patrick Donabedian
    The Blue Belt Roadmap By Patrick Donabedian Congrats on taking serious action to level up your game! Your blue belt is likely a lot closer than you think. Below is a straightforward checklist that will make crystal clear what holes exist in your game and what you must learn to become a legitimate blue belt. I’ll start by cluing you in on a little secret: Your professor desperately wants to promote you. ​ They’ll never admit it, but it’s true. It’s true for the same reason that online belts exist and why kid karate Dojos give out black belts like candy--it makes for fantastic marketing and student retention. But now, with viral videos and gyms hosting open-mats on every corner, a healthy system of checks and balances has developed. If you don’t believe me, google “Fake Black Belt Exposed”. So what does this mean? Do you have to be a world-beater to get your blue belt? An encyclopedia of BJJ? Have an impassable guard? Count to 10 in Portuguese? No. It comes down to three of BJJ’s most profound truths: 1. Don’t look stupid while rolling (aka behave like a blue belt) 2. Know the core offensive and defensive techniques within BJJ’s 6 Essential Beginner Positions ​ 3. Have a practical action plan for any real life self-defense situation Let’s get started with these and tons of bonus material below! Patrick Donabedian Your Virtual Jiu-Jitsu Coach Patrick Donabedian BJJ, LLC 1 Table of Contents First, Don’t Look Stupid: BJJ Behavior, Movement, & Terminology 3 BJJ’s 6 Essential Beginner Positions & Techniques 4-8 Don’t Forget Street Survival Tactics! 8 Bonus Checklists Stand-up: Takedowns & Guard Pulls 8-9 Ashi Garami (Leg Entanglements) 9 Gi vs No-gi Chokes 10 Specialty Attack Systems (10th Planet) 10 Mental Performance: BJJ Goal Setting 10-11 Live Roll Self-Assessment Tool 11 Patrick Donabedian BJJ, LLC 2 The Blue Belt Checklist A note before we begin: This checklist has been used most effectively by my students who ​ treat it as a living document.

  • Heroes Fundamentals Workbook V 1.01 Thank You for Downloading the Heroes Fundamentals Workbook
    Heroes Fundamentals Workbook v 1.01 Thank you for downloading the Heroes Fundamentals Workbook. This workbook is designed to help you track your own progress and make an honest assessment of your abilities in Jiu Jitsu. This workbook is specifically designed with White/Blue belt level in mind, but anyone could benefit from this. HOW TO USE THIS WORKBOOK: Fill out the Heroes Fundamentals Worksheet to the best of your abilities. Only fill out the worksheet with techniques that are actually in your current arsenal. If you don’t have a technique for a particular position, leave that slot blank. At the Fundamental level there should be NO MORE than two (2) techniques per box. The exercise is to list two techniques that you have at each position that would be your first and second choices when in the particular position. Ideally each of these positions should be complimentary to each other. After filling out the worksheet with techniques, give a rating between 1-5 on how comfortable you are with each technique: 1. I have learned the technique in Fundamentals and I don’t really get it 2. I have drilled the technique in Fundamentals and it makes sense, but I haven’t had to chance to use it in drilling and sparring much. 3. I have drilled the technique and I feel I can use it against someone at a lower overall level than me. 4. I have drilled the technique and I feel that I can use it against someone at the same overall level as me.
