The Building Blocks
Master The Building Blocks
Make Jiu-Jitsu Simple
The Building Blocks are rarely taught. They are not submissions. They are not sweeps. They are not guards. They are what make those things work. Most people never learn them. That's why Jiu-Jitsu feels so difficult. But I'll explain them to you.
The Six Building Blocks
When you understand these 6 building blocks, Jiu-Jitsu starts making sense.
Instead of a collection of moves you see why things work.
What Each One Gives You
- 01BaseThe ability to be a mountain on the mats.
- 02ConnectionFeel strong without using strength.
- 03Weight DistributionBe heavy without being 300lbs.
- 04The MiddleNever be caught by surprise.
- 05TimingKnow when to do something.
- 06Distance ManagementControl the fight.
Why They Are Missing
Most gyms don't teach the Building Blocks
They teach Jiu-Jitsu as a collection of moves and positions.
One week it is the mount. Next it's passing the guard. You may even learn a footlock.
You end up forgetting more than what you have learned.
You try to spar and get stuck.
You have to compensate by using strength, speed and athleticism.
But you gas out and hit the same roadblock.
And the cycle continues.
Most people feel this. It's not their fault. It's the way Jiu-Jitsu is taught.
They are missing the building blocks.
My Story With Jiu-Jitsu
I started Jiu-Jitsu because I wanted to learn how to defend myself
But in my first month a blue belt tried to jump to pull guard and snapped both my knees.
So I had to wait to try again.
Ten years, different gyms, no answers
Over the next 10 years I trained at different gyms trying to learn Jiu-Jitsu. All I found was Jiu-Jitsu being taught as a collection of moves.
It didn't make any sense. I was missing something.
But then I met Rickson Gracie
He taught me what Jiu-Jitsu was really about.
Jiu-Jitsu is about efficiency. It's about using base and connection for control not strength and speed. Everything changed.
