Making a video on how JUDO changed my BJJ!

And I need your help on which topics you're interested in seeing. So far, here's my list:

- how judo fixed my stance (better defense)
- how judo made me safer falling in BJJ
- the value of leg grabs and wrestling in BJJ
- the options you get in BJJ from knowing just a couple throws
- importance of grip fighting
- which BJJ moves the newaza randori (ground sparring in judo) improved

What other topics do you wanna see covered?

I won a BJJ tournament yesterday!

Well, my gi division anyway 😂 And then got 2nd in no-gi. This is the best I've felt in a purple belt tournament yet, and I'm not doing anymore weight cutting, so I moved up to middleweight! This is my 75th tournament overall, and my 5th at purple belt!

If you wanna see all my matches uncut, I posted them on my second channel: https://youtu.be/2paPQKhI6NM

Thanks for following along! ❤️

Have you heard of Parkour MMA?

Me neither! So I went and tried it at a gym nearby called The Praxeum. It was as wild as it sounds…

New video out now!

I survived "parkour MMA" (as a BJJ purple belt)

New collab with ​⁠@SenseiSeth!

Fellow YouTuber @BrenVez and I did a sumo tournament with NO training! And Seth was our coach 😂

Watch it now at https://youtu.be/QQNCzvwYuAY?si=T0I4s...

We wanted to find out if our jiu jitsu and judo would help us at all, and some of the results were pretty unexpected! (Especially when I went up against a 140-lb teenager and a 400-something pound Georgian sumo champ)

As always, thanks for following along ❤️

Kristian R! You're the new winner of the baseball bat from the video I did with Jesse!

Unfortunately, I couldn't reach the previous winner (sorry bud!), and I had to pick a new winner... so congrats! I'll reach out to you via email to confirm shipping.

Thanks as always for following along everybody!

I’m competing in sumo!

I’ve never trained sumo before, and my first tournament is in 2 weeks. I’m hoping my judo experience can help me..? 🫣

You all spoke in the poll… and when ‪@DarkCircleSumo‬ reached out to me, I realized it was meant to be 😂🙏 Thanks Justin!

I’ll be filming a YouTube video of the whole experience, and I’ll even be getting a little help from the man himself ‪@SenseiSeth‬, who is also on the card! Super stoked to learn from him and everyone else.

If you guys have anything specific you’d like to see in this video, comment below! I honestly have no idea what to expect

As always, thanks for following along ❤️
