Do you even kip, bro? If you don't know the kipping escape, or if you have given up on learning this move, then this is the episode for you! I discuss the mechanics of the kipping escape, when to use (and when not to use) the kip, common mistakes, and how to shut down and counter the kipping escape. Simply put, if you want to thrive in the modern BJJ landscape, you absolutely must understand and be able to utilize the kipping escape. I promise you; once you make the kipping escape a part of your game, your pin escapes and guard retention will be forever changed!  Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

The Anaconda is easily one of the most effective front headlock submissions one can learn. This attack is a very high percentage and works well with the other premier front headlock submissions. I talk about entries, finishing mechanics, common problems and solutions, and blending the Anaconda with other headlocks. Nobody's front headlock game is complete without the Anaconda, so get practicing! I also talk about mistakes, why they are important, and how experimentation and short-term failure leads to long-term growth and improvement.Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

Paul Kindzia describes himself as a "homeschooled, non-denominational, it takes a village black belt" and had a very unique route to getting his BJJ black belt.  He was a ronin, training at different schools and did a lot of his training in his home dojo. This paid off because he was a top IBJJF Masters competitor at blue, purple, and brown belt, before being awarded his black belt by a coalition of other black belts (myself included) in October of 2024. In this episode we talk about so many things, including - How to get really good if you don't train at a top-tier school - Key aspects of training safely - How to say no to training with people who don't have your best interests at heart - What you need to do to calibrate your skills if you mainly train one-on-one - Cult-like dynamics at some BJJ schools - What professional BJJ competitors do that sets them apart - How to get promoted if you train independently - How jiu-jitsu training has changed in the last 10 years - And so much more. For more about Paul's jiu-jitsu journey check out his site, The Balanced Grappler (https://www.thebalancedgrappler.com/) and his book, Master Jiu-Jitsu, Master Life (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Jiu-Jitsu-Life-Extraordinary-Through/dp/069216197X) Please give this episode a thumbs up and share it with someone else you think might enjoy it.
