Ever feel lost when you’re rolling? Of like you don’t really have a game despite knowing a lot of techniques? Or like everyone around you seems to be improving while you’re stuck at square one?
I totally get it. I’ve seen it hundreds of times throughout my BJJ teaching and training journey.
But here’s the mistake a lot of people make… getting good at Jiu Jitsu has nothing to do with the number of techniques you know. In fact, it can be quite the opposite.
You need to follow four key principles to get good at Jiu Jitsu.
Principle #1: Master the Core Concepts of BJJ – these are the building blocks that you should use to develop a game that will scale across skill levels and opponent sizes.
Principle #2: The Three I Cycle – You need to continually identify your weaknesses, then find solutions that fit into your larger BJJ game.
Principle #3: Focused Practice – You need an effective way to learn new techniques that lets you add them to your game instantly.
Other than principle #4, which we’ll get to in a moment, that is the key to getting good at Jiu Jitsu: build on strong foundations, work your weaknesses, and train effectively.
How do I know? Simple. This is exactly what I did to get good at Jiu Jitsu.
I’ve shared my story many times, but in case you missed it, I became one of the best BJJ players in the U.K. without a coach watching my every move. At best, I got to train with my coach once a month (often less).
The only tools I had at my disposal were my brain, my students, and the odd instructional I managed to order from the U.S.
Despite these limitations, I managed to win No Gi Worlds three times in a row (2013, 2014, 2015), competed at the finals of the ADCC in 2011 (I lost to Jeff Glover by points), and won a whole bunch of other stuff along the way.
It was all down to using those three principles and applying principle #4… take control of your training.
At some point in your Jiu Jitsu journey, you have to take responsibility for your growth. Your coach can guide you, direct your focus, and push you, but ultimately YOU have to put in the work and find your expression of BJJ.

DAYS HOURS MINS SECS
I decided to sign up for Escapology Online after having some success with the Simple Submission System. I liked the way Tom broke down the moves and concepts and then strung them altogether with the drills and Mind Map.
I have not been in the gym as much as I’d like this first month but the days I’ve been in I have seen some progress especially with my side control.
On top of this the accessibility of Tom and Chelsea through this group is enough for the money. They get back very quickly with great advice along with the other members of the group. I’ll be sticking around with this group!

I’ve know Tom for many years and in that time i have seen him evolve into an elite level competitor and coach. This is a rare combination.
Like Tom, i struggled have regular training partners and an instructor around me full time to guide me on my jj journey. Trial and error was my coach.
Escapology Online is a superb platform to help students, coaches and school owners alike to have access to some of the UK’s leading BJJ coaches.
I highly recommend Escapology Online to anyone serious about taking their Jiu Jitsu training to a new level. It is like have Tom and Chelsea with you on the mats.

BJJ is an art of centimetres and the better you get the tighter you need to be.
BJJ is accessible with countless videos and great rolls in class but with a simple question answered or video observation or critique from a competitive Black Belt as they arise, a bad habit can be stopped before it takes root, wasted time can be saved searching or experimenting to find an answer.
To this end the small, focused and technique driven closed group accelerates learning, increases motivation and ultimately improves your BJJ and fun.
J.H. (Purple Belt)
I joined this group as I have lots of holes in my game. I love BJJ and have a solid commitment to my Gym, however I needed something else.
YouTube is great for looking at random videos, but this group focuses on specific techniques, concentrated along a definitive learning path, which compliments my gym instructors and helps me focus.
The feedback is invaluable and allows me to gain second opinions on technical improvements, as well as a differing style of instruction.
S.S. (Purple Belt)
I joined the group because I struggle to get to classes regularly. I tried doing my own thing but it lacked structure and sometimes I would stop until the next class.
Since joining the group I have rarely had a day where I haven’t at least done the drills or looked at the technical guidance. And in only a month there has been an improvement.
I was concerned at first that I’d pay and not see any benefit. I was wrong and look forward to remaining a part of Escapology Online.
