Question from one of our students:
What’s a life skill that Jiu Jitsu has either taught you or has allowed you to refine?

Time for the question of the week! What do you do if you ever find yourself in a situation where you can’t train Jiu Jitsu as much as you’d like? It could be due to injury or any number of other events happening in your life but you’re just not able to get out there on the mats and train the way you would like to be training. For me I try to stay engaged with Jiu Jitsu as much as I can wether that be watching instructionals if I can’t get out on the mat or just even watching reels on Instagram, I like to keep learning however I can. I also try and stay as active as I can, I find that when I do any type of hard physical exercise that usually helps with any frustrations I might be feeling from not being able to train the way I want to be training. Let me know what you do below!

On May 31, 2025, Adam Maslach led a focused Gi Seminar on one of the most essential — yet often overlooked — tools in grappling: the underhook. With his signature attention to detail, Adam broke down how the underhook functions as both an offensive and defensive anchor across multiple positions, including the clinch, guard, and passing scenarios.
Throughout the session, attendees explored how proper underhook mechanics can neutralize pressure, create angles, and lead directly to dominant transitions or submissions. Adam emphasized timing, grip efficiency, and body positioning to make the underhook not just a frame, but a pathway to control.Whether working from half guard or standing engagements, the seminar drove home one clear message: whoever wins the underhook often wins the exchange. Practical, positional drills reinforced the concepts, giving participants actionable tools to take back to their training.
This seminar is now available on RŌL TV.

What has been the most difficult belt for you along your BJJ journey? Is it the belt you are currently at or a different one?
I think a newly promoted blue belt was the most difficult time period for me. You’re fighting your own expectations, white belts see you as an opportunity to prove themselves and you start to discover that many of the upper belts weren’t giving you their A game before… now they are and the taps don’t seem to stop!

If you could only train one submission for a year, what would it be and why?
Mine is the kimura. You use it for submissions, passing, or control. You can use it from so many different types of guards, side, mount. You can do them with your arms or legs. Super versatile!
