Royce Gracie Interview #4

Sorry for the skipped day but here is the last part of the interview with Royce Gracie. Looking to add your training videos to the blog so if you have any please let me know and we will publish it to the world. Help grow the sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Drills

Here is another Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu drill. For this jiu-jitsu drill you will need a partner. Shows some good drills for guard passing, footwork, taking the back etc... Good drills for hip mobility and just overall bjj movement patterns. I would add this into a beginners training without a doubt. Hell when I found this I found my wife and started doing the drill. Enjoy the music that comes with it.

Guillotine Choke Week

This week on Jiu-Jitsu Education we are going to focus on the guillotine choke. To start off I found a great video from the IFL as the famous Renzo Gracie shows us the technique for the guillotine choke. As we all know Renzo is the man when it come to the guillotine choke.

80 Jiu-Jitsu Techniques in 8 minutes? NO!

Here are eighty jiu jitsu techniques in under eight minutes. This video shows alot of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu self defense moves.

What is Jiu-Jitsu Education up to?

Recently I have not posted many technique videos. I am in the process of designing a program or system that will help all those who have the opportunity to practice the art of jiu-jitsu learn at a faster pace and achieve more with this great martial art. I hope to be getting this up and running in the near future and will continue to post more technique videos for all to see.

Submissions from the Guard Week

This triangle choke is set up from the spider guard. I have had the opportunity to hit the triangle from the spider guard and is very effective way to set it up. The video then moves on to setting up the triangle choke when your opponent is trying to pass your guard. I own the Demian Maia Science of Jiu-Jitsu and recommend it to anyone. He breaks down jiu jitsu so well.

Collar Choke from the Guard

Never tried this submission from the guard, looks as though it will work. Will test this collar choke out as soon as I can. Love to post these jiu-jitsu techniques for everyone to see, not only am I helping you guys out I am helping myself learn the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the process.

Armbar from the Guard

This is another beginner move in jiu-jitsu. The armbar is probably the most basic submission but as you get better you want to focus on the finer details of the move. Just like with any move in jiu-jitsu the more involved you get with the intricacies the better you will be at pulling them off when it counts.

Submissions from the Guard Week

This week I will be focusing my attention on getting all of you guys videos on different submissions from the guard. The Kimura is one the basic submissions you will learn when you first start your journey in Jiu-Jitsu. The key on this submission is throwing that leg over the opponents back to hold them down so they can't escape.

Sweeps from the Guard Week

This is a sweep from the spider guard. It's is a more advance. Just don't want to show you guys basic moves. One of my favorite open guard positions is the spider guard it is very effective for sweeps and keeping your opponent on his or her toes.

Sweeps from the Guard Week

This is one of my favorite sweeps from the guard. Its all in the hips and being able to scoot out to the side to get the right position.

Scissors Sweep

This is one of the most basic sweeps and is taught to all beginners in jiu-jitsu. Its tough to get at first and you will get stuck half way through the move at times but keep practicing and you will hit it on people. The best bet is to use it with combinations that usually catches your opponent off guard. Rodrigo Gracie shows us the intricacies of this sweep. You may have seen in a small mma promotion called Pride a few years back. Enjoy!

Happy weekend!! Here on the Northeast of the U.S. looks like we will e snowed in for the night. So I will be going to train some Muay Thai today. But here is a video from Mario Sperry. MArio Sperry is co-founder of Brazilian Top Team and trained under Carlson Gracie. Here he shows us how to break the Spider Guard grip and pass the open guard.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Not only will I be posting videos on technique but I will also bring some of the history of jiu-jitsu to you as well. I am a firm believer that learning about the history of a martial art will help you in your training. Learning about the people before us and their training will help you as you move foward in your pursuit to jiu-jitsu greatness. This video is an ESPN special talking about the effectivness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Got to love the part with Al Bundy choking someone out.
