Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be tough...

... and hard on your body.
Pain after rolling is more than common, smaller injuries can be incredibly frequent, and many athletes suffer career-ending injuries in training and competition.

However, it doesn't have to be this way.

By training in a smart and mindful manner, you can minimize the chances of injury in Jiu-Jitsu... Not just for yourself, but also for your training partners – because keeping your training partners injury-free is as important as staying injury-free yourself.

But wait... What does it mean to train "in a smart and mindful manner", anyway?
It took me some time to understand as well.

Hi, my name is Jordan.

I’m a BJJ black belt who created the popular Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu YouTube channel, which has become a fan favorite in a short amount of time.

As a coach and gym owner (Limitless Brazilian Jiujitsu + Kickboxing), I've seen quite a lot of injuries over the years. Each time an injury would happen (either to me or to someone else), I would give my best to learn from it and understand how it could have been prevented.

That's how I’ve learned the value and importance of training BJJ in a smart and mindful way. All for the sake of success and longevity on the mats.

Fast forward to today, I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I’ve made. Mistakes, that have led to multiple injuries and to unintentionally injuring my training partners.
I want you to train like I do now. With the aim of training BJJ for years and decades to come.

Don't make the same mistakes I made

I remember it like it was yesterday... It was a usual rolling session, years ago – I paired up with a training partner and went for a hip throw.


But I forced the throw, and his foot was planted on the mat. So, his body went down but his leg stayed there; resulting in him dislocating his knee cap.


It was horrible. I still feel awful about it. I didn't mean to do it, of course; but I also didn’t know the difference between a safe takedown attempt and a dangerous one. So I just went for it.


Today, of course, I know what to look for. However, you shouldn't want to learn by doing.


Rather, let my mistakes and knowledge teach you how to keep others and yourself safe.




Wear and tear, as well as injuries, may not seem like a problem when you're 20 years old... But believe me –  if you don’t deal with these injuries on time, they will become persistent.


And if you’re in your 30’s, 40’s, or higher, then there's a much higher chance that your next injury will be a catastrophic one.


That elbow injury? It never really clears up. Your back hurts? Now it hurts even before you get to class.


In other words: if you don’t deal with and prevent these seemingly trivial injuries today, they will come back to haunt you in the future.

It's time to start making better decisions...

Of course, if you don't want to get injured in Jiu-Jitsu, you can't just "hope" for a good outcome. Rather, you have to be proactive about it!
But how are you supposed to be proactive about staying injury-free in BJJ?

There are a LOT of things that you can do in that regard... All of which I've compiled into the BJJ Mat Safety course!

This course is a part of the bigger BJJ Performance & Longevity course and it represents an answer to all of your "I'm-getting-injured-in-training-and-it's-annoying" problems.
I have created it with the goal of equipping you with the knowledge... Knowledge, that's required to keep training without hearing anything pop or crack.

So, what does the course consist of, exactly?
Let's take a look.

Mat safety: scenarios and positions

The BJJ Mat Safety course is all about training in a sustainable, efficient, and mindful way.
It consists out of 36 lessons (plus, I will be adding new ones).

Out of these 36 lessons, 20 of them are about scenarios and positions in which people tend to get hurt during training.
I've discovered the issues and injuries these positions and scenarios can cause both by watching hundreds of students rolling in my BJJ gym, and through my own experiences. I think you'll be surprised by how common these positions and scenarios are – by the amount of times you've seen them done in your gym – and by just how close you were to getting injured.

These are everyday positions and most BJJ students are unaware that there’s any danger to them at all.
You'll learn why they are dangerous, how and when they happen, how to avoid them, and what the better alternatives are.

Mat safety: practices and mindsets

The course also covers training practices and mindsets that will keep you safe and improve your Jiu-Jitsu.

These practices and mindsets are extremely important, as they will not only help you better understand how to stay injury-free...
But they'll also give you a deep insight into being a good and caring training partner, effective communication on the mats, overtraining, choosing your training partners, doing your homework, and so much more.

All in all, the BJJ Mat Safety course is the world's most comprehensive course on staying safe in Jiu-Jitsu training.
And it's time you take advantage of it. It's time that you become injury-free in Jiu-Jitsu training.

Who is the BJJ Mat Safety course for?

  • Beginners

    If you've just begun training Jiu-Jitsu, then this course will set you for a good start. It'll help you understand what this "whole BJJ thing" is all about, what (not) to do in class, how to keep yourself and your training partners safe... It'll provide you with a fantastic foundation for a lifetime of happy Jiu-Jitsu training.

  • Seasoned Grapplers

    If you've been training for quite a while now, you probably know that it's bad form to slam people... But what about the Hip Throw? Or, for example, what about leaving your head on the outside when shooting for a Single Leg takedown? And overtraining? This course will give you an additional, more detailed insight into safe training – into the things you might not have considered at all!

  • Injured Grapplers

    Are you injured? Yeah, it isn't fun, to say the least... Especially when you're pretty certain that the injury could've been avoided.
    This course will make sure that you're never injured in training again. Just follow the guidelines laid out within, and you're going to be surprised by how much safer and enjoyable training BJJ gets.
