A Chat with Jake about Effective Counterattacks for Jiujitsu
In this quick chat, staff member Kurt Weber sits down with Budo Jake to discuss Jake's newest instructional: Effective Counterattacks for Jiujitsu. KW: Jake it’s been a few years since you made an instructional. What have you been up to?BJ: It has been a busy few years. I’ve never stopped training and teaching jiujitsu. But other than that, 4 years ago I took a 200 hour Yoga certified teaching program and I’ve also dived deep in the practice of partner acrobatics. All of these practices involve body awareness and connection to oneself and others. KW: Has the practice of Yoga...
Digging into Darces with Bjorn Friedrich
I recently had the chance to chat with martial arts teacher Bjorn Friedrich. Bjorn originally released his ground-breaking instructional DVD on Brabo/darce chokes about a decade ago but the techniques remain effective and well worth studying.

Each week we had guests on who would share stories and techniques with us. This particular week I wanted to get two of my friends on to settle their beef - Eddie Bravo & Shawn Williams. You see, Shawn has a guard, aptly named the Williams Guard. Eddie Bravo has his Rubber Guard system. There was one particular move - "The London" as Eddie calls...
What Does a 10th Planet Black Belt Say About Training in the Gi?
I’ve known Brent Littell for quite a few years now. He was already a 10th Planet black belt when he decided to deepen his gi knowledge by training at Gracie Barra HQ (where I was also training at the time). I was immediately impressed with Brent’s mobility. Even though he’s a big guy he moves very well! After getting his black belt in the gi, now he’s one of a select few that have worked there way through two systems of grappling! In the video below, Brent did an interview for our sister site Budovideos.jp and it aired on the Japanese...
