A question came up on a recent Instagram Live Q&A I did about a streetfight video in which a ‘boxer’ beat up a ‘jiu-jitsu guy’.

This was a great entry point into a really interesting discussion about the street applicability of BJJ, the importance of cross training in today’s martial arts environment, and specific drills BJJ guys should be doing if they want their art to be effective on the street.

I ranted about these topics in episode 241 of my podcast (The Strenuous Life Podcast) .

Surviving the Worst Case Scenario – BJJ vs a Gun on the Ground!

Surviving the Worst Case Scenario – BJJ vs a Gun on the Ground!

If you’re on the bottom using your guard in a submission grappling situation then the single worst thing that can happen is that the other guy drops back and locks on a heel hook submission, forcing you to tap out or suffer a potentially serious ankle or knee injury.

How to Spar in Kickboxing for the First Time

Usually it takes only about 30 seconds for all thoughts of defense or strategy or finesse vanish and the exercise quickly devolves into two people trading giant haymakers. This is totally understandable – sparring is stressful especially if you’re not used to it. But […]

An Easy, High Amplitude Throw from MMA
