On this episode of the BJJ Balance Podcast, we dive deep into one of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's most debated topics: leg locks. Should white belts and blue belts be taught leg locks, ankle locks, kneebars, toe holds, and heel hooks early, or does it stunt growth in guard passing, takedowns, and overall jiu jitsu fundamentals? We break down the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu leg lock system versus traditional gi jiu jitsu, why heel hooks are illegal in the gi but allowed in no gi grappling, and how leg entanglements like ashi garami, saddle, and inside heel hook fit into a well rounded BJJ game. We talk IBJJF rules, belt progression from white belt to black belt, the fear that comes with leveling up in jiu jitsu, gi versus no gi training, and the character issues facing the jiu jitsu community right now. Plus, UFC talk, ADCC references, leg lockers like Craig Jones, Gordon Ryan, and Lachlan Giles, funny childhood stories, gym life, and much more. If you're a BJJ practitioner, grappler, MMA fan, or jiu jitsu lifestyle fan looking for real talk on BJJ training, belt ranks, self defense, and the grappling community, this episode is for you.This episode is brought to you by Optiva Wellness.

This week on the MMA History Podcast episode 341, hosts Joey Venti and the MMA Detective Mike Davis sit down with two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Hollywood stuntman and actor Frank Trigg for a raw, unfiltered look at the chaotic early days of mixed martial arts. Trigg shares how he coached a talented high school wrestler named Kid Yamamoto in Phoenix before the Japanese star became a Pride FC standout, the real reasons Yamamoto was deported, and the explosive behind-the-scenes fallout from the infamous Rickson Gracie versus Rico Chiapparelli showdown that got Chiapparelli uninvited from major grappling circles. From his time with Real American Wrestling alongside the likes of Randy Couture and Dan Henderson, the first Abu Dhabi Combat Club tournament against Renzo Gracie, early Japan promotions including Vale Tudo Japan against Jean Jacques Machado, Pride Bushido commentating, and the cutthroat realities of 1990s fight money and worked matches, Trigg delivers stories and details few others have ever heard.

Every Jiu-Jitsu gym has that guy.The person everyone avoids when it's time to roll. The person who treats Tuesday night training like the ADCC finals, refuses to tap, coaches you while losing, and somehow has an excuse ready before the round is even over.But here's the uncomfortable part:That guy usually has no idea he's that guy.After 18 years in Jiu-Jitsu and 11 years running schools, Josh has seen exactly where these habits lead. Some people become incredible training partners who make everyone around them better. Others slowly become unsafe, exhausting, uncoachable... and eventually avoided.In this episode, Josh breaks down what it actually means to be a great training partner, a good teammate, and a student who never stops improving.Train hard. Protect your partners. Stay out of drama. Stay coachable.And don't be that guy.Check at our new Skool Jiu Jitsu Curriculum: https://www.skool.com/headnodHalf off BJJ Mental Models with promo code "JOSH": https://www.bjjmentalmodels.com/pricing0:00 Why Everyone Hates You1:57 The Worst Training Partner10:57 Why Winning Practice Hurts You22:22 Why You Rolling Too Hard is dumb25:00 My Students nearly ended me for $20036:29 Why You Must Respect the Tap39:56 Why Vulturing Makes People Hate You42:06 The Most Annoying Training Partner Habit45:17 The Time I Was the Problem51:17 Why Gym Drama Ruins Teams55:25 Why Purple Belts Stop Improving1:02:15 A Final Story

 Michelle Marciniak is 14 years old yellow-white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, out of Las Vegas. She began training jiu jitsu when she was 9 years old. Toward the end of 2023, her and her brother began training at Diamond Grappling Academy where they currently train today. Around the same time, she started getting more serious about her competition. In addition to all the local tournaments, they started traveling for superfights and many of the larger national tournaments, such as ADCC and IBJJF. Recently she started to wrestle as well. Throughout this wrestling season, which was her first, she still consistently trained and competed in BJJ. Now, that season has ended, and her competitions will be more jiu-jitsu/grappling focused once again. She is also a full time student who plays cello in her school's orchestra. She is so grateful for the opportunities she has had so far that got her to where she is today. Learn more about Girls in Gis:Homepage: https://www.girls-in-gis.comEvents: https://www.girls-in-gis.com/events/Shop: http://www.girls-in-gis.com/shop/Donate: http://www.girls-in-gis.com/donate/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GirlsinGisFacebook Official: https://www.facebook.com/GirlsinGisTwitter: @_girls_in_gis_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsingis/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/girlsingis

Nate conducted a solo episode discussing severe allegations of sexual misconduct against Melqui Galvao, a prominent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor and father of top competitor Mika Galvao. The investigation involves multiple allegations against minors, including charges of statutory rape and unauthorized access to electronic devices. Nate read an alleged audio message from Galvao to the victim's father, Luiz, where Galvao apologized for his behavior and attempted to bribe the family to remain silent, offering to promote the victim to black belt and provide opportunities in the United States. The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Foundation and CBJJ have permanently banned Galvao, and several prominent athletes including his son and ADCC champion Diogo Reyes have left his team. Nate expressed condemnation at the allegations and emphasized that while this incident is disturbing, it should not detract from the beauty of the Jiu Jitsu sport itself.    

I asked the internet for their hottest BJJ takes… and honestly, this was a mistake.In this episode of The I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show, Josh, Bryce, and Brian react to listener-submitted BJJ hot takes that range from painfully true to completely unhinged. We talk about injured training partners who still roll like it's ADCC finals, why “let's roll light” basically means nothing, whether you should wash your belt, why middle-aged blue belts might have the biggest target in the gym, and whether submission-only rulesets are actually ruining grappling.If you've ever had a teammate say “I'm injured, let's go light” and then immediately try to kill you… this episode is for you.Call the Hot Takes HotlineGot a BJJ hot take?Call 951-HOT-TAKE and leave us your worst, funniest, or most controversial jiu-jitsu opinion.We may roast you.We may agree with you.We may accidentally start a gym war.Get Josh's free competition prep ebook, The Competitor's Journey, at simplifyingjiujitsu.comGet Rob Biernacki's free Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles course from BJJ Mental Models at bjjmentalmodels.com/suckCheck out Datsusara hemp gear and use promo code ISUCK at dsgear.com for 10% off.

Ele defende o Jiu-Jitsu como prática educacional que busca verdade através do combate, comunidade real em um mundo de ilusões digitais e espaço de responsabilidade, frustração e crescimento.Uma conversa longa, densa e necessária sobre história, propósito, coragem, faixa preta, tecnologia, ego, verdade e o futuro da arte que nos formou.

We had a lighthearted and fun conversation with Keith after his seminar at Misfits Jiu Jitsu in Chicago, IL. Keith Krikorian won ADCC West Coast Trials in 2022 at 66kg.

Veteran of ADCC trials (4-silver,1-bronze), and dominated in EBI as well as WNO. He is also the face of UFCBJJ.

Craig Jones just lit the jiu-jitsu world on fire.In Episode 130 of the BJJ Balance Podcast, we break down the insanity of CJI 2.5, the rumored format, the $10,000,000 prize pool, why this feels like a direct shot at exclusive UFC BJJ contracts, and who could actually end up in an 8-man open weight tournament.We also talk about what this could mean for the future of professional grappling, whether Craig should run trials, what names like Nicky Rod, Victor Hugo, the Ruotolos, Mikey Musumeci, Andrew Tackett, and even MMA or wrestling crossover athletes could bring to the event, and why this might be one of the wildest moments the sport has ever seen.Later in the episode, we get into whether gi is harder than no-gi, how white belts should balance both, when your personal game starts to develop, and whether no-gi can sometimes make people feel better than they actually are.If you're into Craig Jones, CJI 2.5, UFC BJJ, ADCC, gi vs no-gi, white belt advice, and the future of pro jiu-jitsu, this one's for you.Please Follow BJJ Balance on all of our socials:IG: @BJJBalanceDiscord: discord.gg/bjjbalanceTik Tok: @BJJBalanceYouTube: YouTube.com/@BJJBalanceKenny IG: @FreakPartyBJJMatt IG: @oss_nation_bjj

Fala da decisão de largar o emprego de escritório para assumir que era lutador, dos erros da sua geração e de como hoje tenta evitar que seus alunos repitam os mesmos desvios.Cromado abre o bastidor do treino de MMA: dor, sangue, cabeça, ego, medo e mostra o papel do mestre como pai, mentor e ancião: resgatar jovens do crime, segurar atletas no caminho certo, cuidar da mente antes da técnica e preparar o lutador para apanhar e continuar lúcido. Ele fala ainda da banalização de graduações, da importância da raiz com kimono, da nova geração feminina casca-grossa e do desafio de manter valores em um esporte cada vez mais midiático.Uma conversa direta e profundamente humana sobre luta, caráter, legado e responsabilidade com a próxima geração.

We kick it off discussing the quarterfinal matchups that kickoff the event with the top seed Victor Hugo vs Marlon Tajik, we discussed the recent performances that we've seen from both athletes and how Marlons most recent ADCC European trials performance and brand new black belt will affect him going into this matchup against potential number one seed Victor Hugo.On the same side of the bracket we discussed Javier Barter vs Nick Hartman, with Hartman, coming off of an impressive ADCC trials performance of his own we talk about his guard work and how it may play a factor versus the Panamanian in Barter.In Pedro Marinho vs Diego Pato we discussed the stylistic matchup with Diego being by far the smallest competitor in the entire tournament. We discuss how Pedro will most likely play the Ranger game and leverage his wrestling and guillotine game versus the quick speed and leg locks of Pato. In the final quarterfinals matchup we discussed Michael Pixley vs Gustavo Batista, we talked about the guard work from Gustavo and how it may potentially play an issue with Pixley's passing game we also discussed some potential strategic avenues for Pixley and Gustavo to potentially leverage the IBJJF points in order to come out on top.We also preview the second round and potential finals matchups on each side of the bracket, discussing Victor Hugo's potential pathway to victory as the number one seed in the event. We preview the black belt, super fights on the card as well.With Cole Abate vs Will Wilson a rematch from an earlier event with both coming off of very strong performances at the Europeans will taking the lightweight division and Cole taking silver against Kennedy in the division below.We discussed Helena Crevar vs Aghata Rabelo another rematch that took place in the Gi at the colored belts we discuss Helena's argument for the slot as the number one No-Gi woman in the world.We briefly discuss Sarah Galvão vs Maria Vicentini, and how the recent Atos situation may play into the preparation that Sarah is able to do in the lead up to this match. We also discuss Leo Souza vs Mateo Cardona and Ashlee Funegra vs Yasmyn Castro.In the outro of the show, we discuss recent travel and the upcoming promotion for Corey of the Grappling Rewind later that night.  Recorded 2-23-2026

Ffion Davies joins James Smith to reveal the problem with women in jiu-jitsu, a sport often gatekept by a "sausage fest" mentality and dangerous myths about self-defense. Davies, a six-time world champion, exposes why the current narrative is failing women and how the lack of equal pay is a quiet crisis threatening the sport's growth. They confront the reality of the "big strong dude" syndrome, the biological discrepancies in training, and the high-stakes battle for financial respect in elite competition.

This week on the show Maine and Miranda recap the UFC BJJ 5 and ADCC European and African Trials 2026. We kick off the show talking about Gordon Ryans official retirement.After that we move into the recap section of the show talking about UFC BJJ 5 headlined by Mikey Musumeci vs Shay Montague for the Bantamweight title. We talked about Shay tearing something in his upper leg and announcing it to his corner at the end of the first round, then we discussed the passing from Mikey in the second round and the heel hook submission that allowed Mikey to retain his title. In the middleweight title match, we talked about Ronaldo Souza Junior vs Tarik Hopstock with Ronaldo, retaining his title through top pressure. In Nicholas Meregali vs Nicholas Maglicic we talked about Meregali returning to competition after 17-months off due to injury  and how we were able to see flashes of the old game while seemingly dealing with some rust. We also discussed that this was most likely. Meregali first match with a three round timer and likely his first match in a pit or bowl.In Andy Murasaki vs Andy Varela we talked about Varela's slower pace, and how potentially this has changed in his recent matches and then we discussed the fantastic armbar from guard from Murasaki. In Landon Elmore vs Rerisson Gabriel we discussed the early leg locks and how Gabriel was able to defend them; then in the following two rounds was able to impose a top pressure game with a guillotine counter in the third to take the match via decision.In Taylor Hishaw vs Rebeca Lima Mona we talked about the Estima lock finish from Lima.In Jalen Fonacier vs Carlos Oliveira we discussed Jalen hitting the fastest sub in UFC BJJ history with a 16 second heel hook. We also discussed potentially where he goes from here if he is unwilling to face Mikey, and if he will have to go up in weight.In our recap of the ADCC European and African Trials for 2026 the second regional trials for the 2026 world championship season. We recapped every single finals match across all of the division divisions, including the women's finals matches that qualify them for the world championships as this is the second trials for that region.We kick it off discussing the +99 kg division final between Aiden Woodley vs Haisam Rida where we saw a Hari Goshi from Rida to Rear naked choke. In -99 kg we recap Mohamed Urusov vs Eoghan O'Flannagan discussing the finishing sequence where Owen was able to get to single leg and immediately throw for a heel hook knee bar combination to get the submission win in the finals.In -88 kg in Faris Ben-Lamkadem vs Marlon Tajik we talked about the back-and-forth takedowns in the match and some of the more interesting resets, as well as the scoring particularities that came with the match when it comes to decision. With the decision going to Marlon. In -77 kg Taylor Pearman vs Nicolay Vetrov we discussed the negative one that Taylor received for pulling guard in the finals and how Nicolay was able to play a solid game and prevent any points from being scored in order to take the victory. In -66 kg Yigit Hanay vs Kostiantyn Zhyvanov we discussed the pacing of the match with Yigit scoring late in order to punch his ticket to the world championships. In the Womens finals, at -55 kg Ana Moyordomo vs Janette Gloger we talked about the clean back take that Janett was able to hit to the rear naked choke to take the win. In 65 kg Injana Goodman vs Ane Svendsen we talked about the prolonged sequences of back control from Goodman that allowed her to outscore and threatened the rear naked choke the entire match to get the win on points. In +65KG Nia Blackman vs Anabel Lopez we talked about the level of activity and the guard work with Annabelle Lopez taking the win on activity. Recorded 2-16-2026

In Episode 300 of the Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with my original Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach, Danny Ives, for a conversation about evolution, longevity, and what the black belt really represents. This isn't just a milestone episode, it's a reflection on mat time, consistency, and how jiu-jitsu changes the longer you stay in it. We break down the differences between old school and new school jiu-jitsu, less information versus the instructional era, fundamentals versus specialization, gym reputation versus online branding, and how competition has evolved from smaller local tournaments to global stages like ADCC. We talk about whether the average blue belt today is more technical, whether fundamentals are being lost, and what each era gets right and wrong. We also deconstruct the myth of the black belt. Do black belts really win every round? Do they stop learning? What changes technically and mentally after reaching that rank? Danny answers direct questions in our “Ask A Black Belt” segment, covering ego, longevity, training after 40, recovery habits, and what white, blue, and purple belts misunderstand most. This episode is for grapplers at every level who want perspective, not hype. If you're chasing improvement, questioning your path, or wondering what long-term jiu-jitsu really looks like, this conversation is for you. Old school gave us roots. New school gives us branches. The belt is symbolic, but the mat doesn't care what color you're wearing.

Brandon Reed is a Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt, ADCC Veteran, 3x NAIA National Wrestling Champion, and the 2025 ADCC 99+ KG East Coast Trials Champion. Brandon joins the podcast fresh off of his ADCC East Coast Trials win. He discusses the process of overcoming a loss, how to block out the noise and distractions, dealing with the nerves of competition, what he learned from his loss to Felipe Pena at ADCC Worlds 2024, the benefits of being heavier for competition, how to make your wrestling effective for BJJ, his thoughts on drilling techniques, the misconceptions of the "Ecological Approach," the importance of feeling in BJJ, scaling your training with less skilled training partners, training at Pedigo Submission Fighting, building confidence, the desire to go after the toughest matches, his takeaways from CJI 2, and what he likes to do to unwind between competitions.
