What’s your favorite “dirty” move in jiu-jitsu? (Not illegal… just annoyingly effective.) You know the one: - The grip that ruins someone’s posture - The pressure that makes people rethink their life choices - The transition that feels unfair but somehow always works 😅 Now break it down 👇 - Where does it usually show up? (scrambles, guard, top, stand-up) - Why does it work so well for YOU? (timing, body type, patience, pressure, speed) - What’s the one detail that makes it hit—or makes it fall apart? Bonus round 👀 If you don’t have one yet: 👉 What “dirty” move has someone hit on you that made you immediately say, “I need to steal that.” This isn’t about being flashy. It’s about efficiency, awareness, and building a game that fits your style. Drop it below 👇 Let’s trade secrets and level up together 🔥🥋

Something I’ve really been working on lately is floating and surfing from the top instead of forcing pressure. Rather than trying to glue myself to one position, I’m staying light, mobile, and reactive—letting movement create openings instead of muscling them. What I’m noticing: • Fewer scrambles I don’t want • Less energy wasted • Better timing on transitions • More control without feeling heavy I’m still far from perfect. There are moments I mistime it, lose balance, or get caught trying to be too loose. But that’s the process. Jiu-jitsu has layers, and this one has been huge for me—learning when to float, when to surf, and when to drop pressure. Curious—do you prefer heavy pressure on top, or a lighter, more mobile style? 🥋👇

Hey team — I came across a post on Reddit recently that sparked a really good conversation, and I wanted to bring it here to get your perspective. I already shared how I would personally handle it, but I’m genuinely curious how everyone in this group would approach the situation. Scenario: A training partner outweighs you by around 40 pounds and has previously injured you during rolls. You’re trying to train consistently, stay healthy, and keep improving — but you’re unsure how to decline rolling with this person without it becoming awkward, disrespectful, or escalating egos. How would you handle this? • What would you say (if anything)? • Do you set boundaries directly or keep it simple and move on? • Where’s the line between being a good training partner and protecting your body? There’s no right or wrong answer here — just interested in hearing different perspectives and learning from each other. Let’s talk 👇

What’s the most OVERRATED technique everyone teaches… that you almost NEVER hit in live rolling? Not saying it doesn’t work. Not saying it’s useless. Just being real — in your game, under real pressure, against fully resisting humans… it just doesn’t show up. Now here’s the important part 👇 👉 What do you do instead? What’s the adjustment you actually rely on when things get messy? What technique has been way more reliable for your body type, pace, and style? This isn’t about trashing techniques. It’s about honesty, problem-solving, and building games that actually work outside of instructionals.

Hey everyone! With the holidays coming up, I was wondering if any of y'all have some cool jiujitsu practice/exercises that you do when you have limited or no access to the mats. Any exercises or workouts you've found yourself doing when on vacation?
