WRESTLE UP ⬆️

If your opponent stands with their legs too close together in your open guard bind their knees together and you’ll be able to wrestle up to your knees and get on top 👌👌🫡🫡

ESCAPING THE ARMBAR ✔️

This is a really strong way to escape the armbar before they get the arm fully straight | by catching the bottom leg you create a lot of space to escape your elbow to the floor 👌👌

Nats Nuggs ✨️ BJJ Edition 🥋
The 🤏 details that go through my head whilst training 🧚‍♀️

Struggle to take in all the information of a position? Or is something not your game / style? Try taking a little nugget that is relevant to you. 🥋

I have had ALOT of questions surrounding my return to training post spinal surgery, but the most common I've answered below ✨️

🌹 How are you back rolling already?🌹

✨️ I am only back drilling ✨️
It has been 14 weeks since my surgery, and I have done nothing but rehab since I was able to move without severe pain. I will work to a 'pain' threshold of 3/10. Simply put, I will try a movement until I feel that 'hmm, this kinda hurts', then I stop and either change the position or movement I'm doing until that pain window has subsided.

In my opinion, doing nothing or the bare minimum kinda feels like I'm encouraging my body to become lazy. There is always something you can do, mentally or physically. If I can not be on the mat training BJJ, then I will watch seminars or watch classes and ask my questions.

Which kinda leads me to my main point of setting your expectations. Going 'hard' will not be your friend. I can confirm that it's not worth it. I train with ONE single person that I trust completely with my safety with minimal risk. Sparring is far too much of a risk at the moment 💀

My advice: roll with a higher belt that has already expressed their true colours. Nothing to prove, nothing to show off about, and no fluff. They simply want to help you. The chances are that they have been in your position and wished for a training partner during their recovery, too.

If you have any questions surrounding your injuries and return to sport, drop them in the comments and me and/or Kev will get back to you! 🏋‍♀️🥋

THE STACK PASS 😤

If you’ve never been stack passed by @mauriciogomes.bjj then you don’t fully understand the stack pass 😓

Hip position and arm position are key to avoiding the triangle counter attack

Comment RGA Bucks for the full 6min video 🫡

Treatment, conversation and a few adjustments along the way 🤝

Had Kev Capel in at Elite Chiro for a session — working through a few areas, talking about what’s been bothering him and giving him a better understanding of what’s going on.

Sometimes the best sessions are the simple ones: assess, treat, talk and get you moving better.

📍 Elite Chiro, Aylesbury
📩 DM to book or hit the link in bio.

Being a black belt isn’t about being untouchable.

It’s not about always having the answer, or proving that nobody can beat you.

For @capelkev , it’s about continuing to train, continuing to learn, and constantly improving so he can help his students improve too.

That mindset is what makes a great coach.

He started jiu jitsu under Roger Gracie’s father. Then Roger gave him his black belt.

Professor Kev Capel @capelkev, 4th degree black belt under Roger Gracie, opened up to me about his whole jiu jitsu story.

Starting out under Master Mauricio Gomes @mauriciogomes.bjj.
Earning his black belt from Roger Gracie.
And building @rgabucks in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

And Master Mauricio, 8th degree coral belt and Roger’s father, was there on the mat, teaching a technique and rolling with the team.

Same lineage. Same fundamentals. Straight from the source.

Full interview is live on YouTube now. Link in bio.

Save this for the next time you’re near Aylesbury.
Tag someone who trains Roger Gracie jiu jitsu.

Who should I sit down with next?
