One of my favorite jiu jitsu blogs I like to read is BishopBJJ. Their blog has some of the most comprehensive reviews, studies, observations, and breakdown of the most current jiu jitsu at the macro and micro levels. In addition to statistical breakdowns of who is doing what and what is working the most, they have some great breakdown videos that physically show us what is being performed and how we can incorporate those techniques into our game.Since Bishop BJJ helps us understand jiu jitsu on an individual level and as a whole, we can understand what the masses are doing and at the same time see those that have their own unique style of jiu jitsu. Being able to understand both elements allows us as jiu jitsu nerds, jiu jitsu competitors, and jiu jitsu fans to see and better understand effective elements of the game. Most importantly, the blog shows us how we can improve our jiu jitsu by studying what is effective. Some of the best instructional videos are not the technique videos we all pay money for, but the competition footage of the best at their best.
The most recent breakdown is a video breaking down Tanquinho beating the open guard. Not only does the video incorporate a variety of footage from the past, but also incorporates the most recent footage available from the World Championships. The footage includes short explanatory notes within the video for the observer to learn and notice some of the key concepts to Tanquinho's successful passing.
I highly recommend everyone include this on their monthly must visit website list and improve their game, teach better, and enjoy some of the fine details of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
