BJJ CORE CONCEPTS: A STEP BY STEP FORMULA FOR HACKING BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
In BJJ Core Concepts you’ll learn how to hack Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and become an effective grappler much faster.
The ‘hacks’ you’ll be getting are actually the underlying concepts and principles of jiu-jitsu, the keys to the BJJ kingdom. You'll start learning BJJ faster, retaining techniques better, moving more efficiently, and start beating bigger and more experienced people.
Jiu-jitsu isn’t some sort of magic and doesn’t require extreme strength, speed, or athleticism. Instead it’s a struggle between two people using positioning, leverage and momentum. The person who uses them best has a HUGE edge over his opponent.
No matter what position or situation you’re in on the ground, all techniques rely on concepts like base, posture, structure, leverage, framing, and control of momentum.
In BJJ Core Concepts you’ll learn how to apply these concepts directly to your grappling, with many concrete examples to shortcut your way to the top.
1 CONCEPT IS WORTH 1000 TECHNIQUES
Jiu-jitsu can be complicated at first because there are thousands of different techniques including armlocks, chokes, sweeps, escapes, guard retention movements, guard passes, etc.
It’s certainly possible to learn BJJ by memorising more and more techniques - many people have done exactly that - but it’s a slow and inefficient process that takes years.
You’ll get better much faster if you start with an understanding of the underlying concepts and principles of grappling.
Once you know them you’ll start looking at BJJ techniques in a whole new way. No longer will the techniques be a long series of steps you need to memorise; instead they’ll become applications of the same few concepts again and again.
Take a look at what high level grapplers are doing: most of what makes them so good is that they make minute adjustments to their body positioning on the fly, often without conscious thought. Usually these grapplers have achieved this understanding through years of training and competing with the elite of the sport.
BJJ Core Concepts gives you the formula for decoding and replicating exactly what’s happening with these elite level grapplers. Once you understand what’s going on in their ’hidden’ jiu-jitsu you’ll automatically start making the same adjustments in your own training.
WHAT’S IN THE BJJ CORE CONCEPTS APP?
The app contains one hour and 33 minutes of filler-free video-based instruction.
2 BJJ black belts will go through all the most important BJJ concepts with you, breaking things down into bite-sized pieces with full menus to make it easier to learn and retain the material.
It’s not some theoretical physics PhD thesis either. You’ll get lots of concrete examples of these principles in action, so you’ll immediately be able to start using this material on the mats.
BJJ Core Concepts will help you no matter if you’re training in BJJ, no gi submission grappling, MMA or for self defense purposes.

Grappling without concepts is like being in the Stone Age. For too long, I've basically been rolling like a caveman. "Hand push knee to floor. Hips away good!" Through these instructionals, I now have a nomenclature that doesn't involve "crackhead control" & a better understanding of the science behind alignment. I may never beat a giant brute but I'll at least understand why ;)

This app is definitely what I wish I saw when I first started jiujitsu. The concepts behind the techniques and the simple explainations will allow any grappler to rethink the positions they find themselves in constantly and refine them by utilizing these concepts. Thanks guys!

Like it says in the description, this is principle based instruction which can be applied to any number of techniques. You might look at this as learning how to learn jiu-jitsu. Content for me is 5-stars, I just wish it would allow for transfer to SD card on my phone as I want to have this whole series on there!

Loved the details on how to get better results when it comes to submissions. But some of the videos I believe were too short and could have went it better detail

I recommend this 100%; completely revolutionized the way I think of jiujitsu. I would be lost without it

This is like a Jiu Jitsu intervention. Stephan and Rob sit you down and tell you things you might not want to hear but that you really need to hear. Great advice for any practitioner. I wish I had learned these concepts earlier. Besides, Rob drops 2 Highlander references and a Matrix reference to boot. Thanks Rob and Stephan.

If you don't make the time for this video, you'll be spending way more time trying to figure out why you keep loosing. Really Brilliant stuff.

The final (or first?) chapter of the series is a must have: what these guys did was giving away the tools to build a solid foundation (and honestly much much more) for building an effective and superior ground work. Since I started studying on these videos, I was able to see the principles where before there were only collections of movements, making my job as a student and teacher much easier and enjoyable.

Excellent description of the, sometimes overlooked, basics of bjj. An outstanding supplement to a novice bjj practice. I am very pleased with the content and presentation. I intend to buy more courses down the road.

Great job breaking down concepts. Most other instruction is about techniques but this is foundational and can be used across techniques.

I own all four apps by Rob and Stephan and can't rate them highly enough. Made a big difference to my game and how I think about jiu jitsu.

If you want a solid set of concepts for breaking down & troubleshooting ANY grappling move (whether it's your own rolling videos, competition footage, or random videos on the internets) this is the app for you.

Great job! Complete, detailed and easy to apply. Just like the rest of his work.

I don't write reviews but I have to. I felt I plateaued but these concepts are helping the evolution of my bjj. It's a plus that Rob sneaks in some pretty good one liners that make Stephen question making these videos with him. Example, Steph at the end says "I sometimes put the guys toes in my face when doing a knee bar so I can get a good rotation." Rob says, "you know there are alot of analogies between bjj and foot fetish techniques." Then the scene cuts...haha. priceless!
