Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a recent email I got on the effectiveness of the BJJ Manifesto and how it's working wonders for those who are applying the strategies it contains.
"Hi, I just wanted to send you this email to thank you for this great recommendation for the BJJ Manifesto, it's helped me in ways I couldn't imagine when I started reading. Specifically, my mount has become super dangerous where I used to have trouble setting up subs from the mount, now I set people up to do exactly what I want. It's amazing.
What I love most is the new set of strategies that I can apply to my skills and techniques that make them alot more effective, especially against stronger more aggressive opponents. I've really been able to shine in sparring and competition and my team took notice!
Thanks again for the blog and great advice."
This letter illustrates perfectly the difference that applying better strategies to your grappling techniques can make.
Without effective strategy your game will become stagnant and predictable, learning how to set your opponent up is a critical part of the BJJ game.
Forcing your opponent to make mistakes is the height of strategy and the x-factor that will take your game beyond mere techniques.
The offer for the BJJ Manifesto is sweeter than ever as they're now including some must have bonuses the Advanced Guillotines Revealed and Advanced Back Attacks videos.
If you apply the knowledge in these bonuses then both will seriously improve your finishing skills.
The Advanced Back Attacks video should be required viewing by everyone who has trouble finishing from their opponents back. Solid set ups that will have you choking more people out from the back as well as critical points for maintain control from the back. I highly recommend it!
An added bonus they've recently thrown is the “Goofy Guard” video. Which is a relatively new variant of half guard. You'll definitely want to check this out or be left out of the loop as this is still a relatively new variation that many grapplers are unaware of.
Check it out here and keep sending the email and comments on how your game is improving.

More On Supplemental Conditioning With Kettlebells
Considering a supplemental conditioning program many of you might ask, why would I need to train for conditioning apart from BJJ training itself?
This is a good question.
Well although your main training on the mat is going to be one of the primary and direct sources of your conditioning as you're working specifically on the movements, resistance and energy you'll need to perform on the mats.
The truth is though that if you rely solely on your BJJ training and sparring for conditioning, then you'll be opening the door to an inevitable injury.
Why?
Simply put, you will never be able to properly condition yourself against an injury through this process for the simple reason that you'll never be able to push your joints and muscles past the point needed to train BJJ.
Think about it, although you'll be conditioning your body to perform and through the performance of the specific activity, BJJ.
You won't be conditioning your body to perform past the activity and the moment your body is forced to go beyond the limits of your training be it in competition or going hard, be it range of motion, strength, etc,... this is the moment you open yourself up to an injury. Not to mention you also are limiting your performance in terms of strength and endurance, to the limits of your grappling training.
Makes sense?
This is exactly why you need a supplemental conditioning program that takes you past the usual resistance you experience during rolling on the mat and conditions you to withstand greater stress than you would normally experience during BJJ especially stress that could lead to injury.
Now when it comes to deciding on what conditioning program and tools to use, be it bodyweight barbells, kettlebells, etc,... You'll want to choose one that has a proven track record for producing results.
You can also use a combination of tools, like, kettlebells and bodyweight.
Ideally you'll want to use a tool and approach that works well around your BJJ training and doesn't detract your time and energy from it.
This is where kettlebell training really shines through.
There is very little time needed to get in effective workouts, 20 minutes 3-5 times a week. The workouts can be extremely intense, with minimum time needed for recovery and minimum chance of injury if performed properly.
When performed properly and with the right amount of intensity kettlebell training will condition your muscles, joints, bones, and cardiovascular system, safely beyond what grappling training can.
Now, I want to go over two critical points I've mentioned when deciding on and beginning a conditioning program for BJJ.
The first point is that you'll want to make sure the program doesn't take away from or detract from your time and energy that you can spend on the mats. It's got to be something you can do for under an hour (preferably less) a few times a week that will bring you results and the second is that it has to involve very little chance of causing an injury or needing alot of recovery time.
This is why traditional weight training or a general weight lifting program is not ideal.
It not only takes too much time but will leave you with spending too much time recovering as well as opening the door to potential injuries from overuse through overtraining.
Don't make the same mistakes that countless BJJ players and mixed martial artists I've met have made in getting an injury that is either career ending or debilitating to the point of either having to quit training or being seriously sidelined for months.
Trust me, you'll want to do everything you can to prevent this from ever happening.
There are several programs available that are great for BJJ conditioning that meet the criteria I talked about.
The one that I recommend as one of the best in terms of effectiveness and cost is Jason's Kettlebell Training For BJJ 2.0 system.
Check out another great example of his system on the blog by clicking the link.
Take the system for a test drive and see for yourself the difference it will make. If you're not convinced there is a full money back refund. But that's not what's going to happen, you will be so blown away by the results as you'll have made a solid investment in your long term BJJ career that you'll know for yourself that these are effective conditioning tools.

Conditioning For BJJ And MMA.
When it comes to conditioning programs for both BJJ and MMA, grapplers and mixed martial artists have many options available for getting in functional shape and improving everything from the flexibility to explosive power. endurance, strength and mental toughness needed to perform at the highest level in their sport.
Ideally the conditioning program should take little time so it doesn't get in the way of your mat time.
You'll want something you can do on your days off the mat or in the case of endurance training, something you can do after your BJJ training to help increase your cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
Another quick tip that I can suggest is you'll want the training to help prevent injuries and not something that can aggravate or cause an injury that can keep you off the mat so you'll want to stay away from any high stress or impact activities other than BJJ or MMA, as other high impact or stress activities only increase your chances of getting injured either during those activities or through overuse which can then lead to an injury happening while you're grappling.
The ideal components of such a program could include Bodyweight training or calisthenics, properly performed weight training with your specific goals and grappling game in mind and Kettlebell training, again specifically geared to your goals and game.
The key point is that any conditioning program should be geared specifically for your game and should focus and be effective at improving your game.
Here is a great example of kettlebell training geared specifically for grappling and MMA.
Next post I'll be going over more details on the specifics of customizing your conditioning program to your game.

Fundamentals Of BJJ
Over the next few posts I'll be covering more of the fundamentals of BJJ.
As I will be getting into some more complex aspects of BJJ, I'll first just cover the fundamental basics.
Most of you will see this as a review but just bear with me as I promise to make it interesting and valuable to your training, it will just take a little while to get to the good stuff for some of you that have been regular readers of this blog for years now and so have been training for years and are at a purple or brown belt level now.
It will be interesting for you guys as well, just that it will take a while to get there.
Keep an eye out over the next few days for the next posts.
And oh yeah, one more thing:
This year I've decided to add more pictures to the blog, many more as this is something many readers have asked me in 2010.
Then I had a great idea, as this blog is there for you, I figured why not feature pics from my readers as well, so if any of you have some cool training pics, whether sparring or just practicing techniques, send them in, and I promise I'll feature them in the blog along with credit as to who is in them, you also get to keep all the rights to your pics as I won't use them for any other purposes and won't claim any rights to them. I'll even copyright them to your name.
Just send them in to info(at)jiujitsuuniverse.com (obviously, replace the at with @).

Year's End
I would just like to send a special thanks out to all my readers.
2010 has been an amazing year, and many of you have written in to tell me of the great improvements you have made this year.
The majority of those emails have been concerning The BJJ Manifesto and the huge difference the implementation of the strategies in the ebook have made to develop your skills and directly produce positive results on the mat.
In 2011 I'll be releasing a BJJ documentary that everyone will want to see. I can just say that there are some big names that have collaborated on this project and my subscribers will get the first glimpse of this movie that I know will have everyone in the BJJ world talking.
I'll keep everyone posted when it's ready and Jiujitsu Universe subscribers will get a chance to view it for free.
I've also received tons of feedback that most readers want more coverage on strategy and simple direct tips on improving BJJ technique so this will be another area I will concentrate on in the new year.
Keep a lookout in the next few weeks on some big announcments I'll be making that you will definitely want to be a part of.
Until then anyone who hasn't picked up The BJJ Manifesto and intends to do so should pick it up right away as I have news that the price will be going up in 2011.
As always I welcome your emails at info@jiujitsuuniverse.com

Fundamental BJJ Strategies
Last post I wrote about a great resource, The BJJ Manifesto, that many of you have taken advantage of and written to me about your great results.
This post I want to discuss a couple of strategies for getting your opponent to make a mistake that you can capitalize on.
One of the main strategies of forcing your opponent to make a mistake while rolling, boils down to using pressure and making your opponent very uncomfortable.
The crossface from the side mount and mount is one such strategy, (never to be done from the guard as it opens you up to be submitted or passed.)
This is achieved by gripping your opponents shoulder while "crossfacing" the side of his face and jaw with your forearm.
This allows you to trap your opponents face and keep him looking in the opposite direction which prevents him from shrimping as well as opens him up to having his arm attacked as it leaves it exposed and prevents him from being able to effectively defend it.
Another such strategy comes from using shoulder pressure.
Instead of your opponent formulating their plan they are now forced to deal with the pressure and discomfort you are creating.
This works well from side mount, mount and half guard top.
Like the crossface, here you use your shoulder instead to trap your opponents face by pushing across his body and trapping his head looking in the opposite direction of the leg he has trapped in half guard for example. This will prevent him from shrimping or using your leg to reverse you or attack.
The true power of using shoulder pressure comes from the fact that this effectively negates your opponents offense and causes him to go on the defensive, it also opens up possibilities for attacks and enables you to not worry about maintaining the position so you can focus on setting up a submission.
Again for those interested in maximizing strategies like these in their game, be sure to check out the BJJ Manifesto it will help you wherever you are to implement strategies you can use right now to improve your game.
To everyone who has already bought it and is using it in their game, be sure to write me and keep me posted on how it's going or if you have any questions, I love hearing about how your skills and game are improving.
Don't forget everyone who buys the BJJ Manifesto is entitled to one month of free training in Miami Florida with Matt and Rob, the authors of this great ebook and videos.

BJJ And Strategy; It's Rare That I'm This Impressed!
Everyone who reads the Jiujitsu Universe blog knows how important I feel the study of strategy is for taking your game to the highest level.
The proof of how important this is simply comes from how much feedback I get on how strategy plays a MUCH bigger role in success on the mats than training technique alone.
That's why when something comes out that BLOWS me away when it comes to applying strategy I have to let everyone know about it.
It's rare that I get impressed with BJJ books or videos these days, I can count the material that impresses me on both hands, rememebr that's out of Hundreds of books and dvds out there that get sent to me for review, most aren't worth it as very few make it to my blog.
Truth is, I'm even going to stop accepting unsolicited material.
That is anything I get that I haven't asked to review or isn't from someone notable who I've already dealt with, (and you'd be surprised who I've spoken with and who has asked me to review their materials, everyone from "known" names in the UFC and MMA world to world class instructors and everyone in between. Truth is, most of it isn't worth reviewing and only the exceptional material has made it to my blog.
So many people have told me how much of a difference my recommendations have made that I can't let my readers down.
That's why when something comes along so impressive by two relatively unknown guys, I have to tell everyone about it.
Many of you here have probably already heard of the BJJ Manifesto, written by two guys, Matt Aroyo and Rob Kahn, these guys might sound like unknowns, but they've trained with many BIG names in BJJ and this ebook is PROOF that they learned some important lessons.
They even offer you a FREE month to train with them in Tampa, Florida if you get around that area.
You will be blown away by some of this info just like I was!
There are many big names getting behind this ebook, like UFC fighter Joe Lauzon, Lloyd irvin and many others.
They even offer a full 30 day money back guarantee and I'm not surprised!
What's also great is the ebook also comes with videos included to demonstrate the strategies.
Next week I'll go over one of the strategies in more detail but until then, do yourself a huge favor and pick up the ebook, if you're serious about improving your game? This is a MUST HAVE!
Check it out here: BJJ MANIFESTO
Get it now, you'll have instant access to it once you order so you don't have to wait to start implementing these surefire strategies in your game and can then send me an email thanking me.
As usual, let me know how it goes, I love getting positive emails about how your training and skills improve.

Tony Pacenski's Hook Sweep DVD Set.
The martial arts are full of DVDs and Brazilian Jiujitsu is no different. Many of those DVDs aren't worth much discussion.
That's why when a DVD set packed with so much insight and useful information comes out, it's important for everyone who practices Jiujitsu to be made aware of.
Tony Pacenski's Hook Sweep DVD can easily be called, "the most complete study of the Hook Sweep and the many variations involved."
It covers the hook sweep from all the guard variations, butterfly, spider, half, etc,... and gives indepth strategies on setting up and countering your opponents' responses.
Not only that but it also gives clear explanations on the possible counters your opponent can attempt and how to circumvent or set up your opponent as he's attempting to counter.
Just some of what you'll learn:
-The precise details for sweeping your opponent regardless of what he's doing.
-How to anticipate your opponent's moves and stay ahead of him to set up a sweep.
-How to use his counters against him to set him up.
-How to force your opponent to react so you can set him up for a sweep.
-And much more...
Studying and training the techniques of this DVD set will help you master the skills needed to ensure you hook sweep your opponent to end up on top.
This will bring you to a new level of understanding of the guard variations and the many possibilities for sweeping your opponent.
"Little Tony" as he's called is not just a Black Belt in BJJ, it's clear by his skills as an instructor and teacher that his Black belt isn't deserved just because of his knowledge and technical skills but because of his teaching abilities as well.
