What is in your jiu jitsu bag?

I carry extra stuff like a rash guard, spats, and pants. All things I have forgotten. They've also benefitted a training partner or 2.

Coat hanger in case the string needs to be put back in pants. Underrated accessory.

First aid kit, electrolyte mixes, a protein bar, mouth guard, extra deodorant and usually a toothbrush.

On March 7, 2026, Marc Hansen conducted an outstanding NoGi Takedown Workshop that brought tremendous value to everyone in attendance. Marc’s attention to detail and clear method of instruction made the material accessible and engaging for practitioners of all levels.

Throughout the workshop, Marc not only demonstrated effective takedown techniques but also emphasized the underlying principles that make a strong stand-up game in NoGi grappling. Participants worked through key entries and setups, including Ko Uchi Gari and Uchi Mata, while learning how to properly create off-balance, manage distance, and connect their attacks with control and timing.

Now available on RŌL TV - https://rolacademy.tv/programs/2026-03-07-marc-hansen

What do you value more during a roll, control or the submission? 

I’d rather be in complete control the entire roll with no submission, than catching a lucky submission in the first minute. 

I’m talking in a training session.. in competition by all means catch that lucky submission and conserve energy!
