19 Jiu-Jitsu Solo Drills While You’re Quarantined

We are all going a little stircrazy, and most of us are unable to train with other humans right now. So here are some solo drills and movements that don’t require the participation of other people. If you have a floor, a wall and possibly a bag and chair, you have plenty of drill and movement options.

I hope you’re all safe and well, and that this pandemic passes quickly.

Please show Bunkai of each move as there are lots of white belt viewers. ❤

[@shahree100]

The guy moves so gracefully it’s surreal. Wouldn’t know how lethal some of these moves are in roll.

Tell me about it. Practicing my own rolls and recoveries in a field out back where I live this week - I'm not close to as flexible as him. Best that I'm rural so nobody can see me 😂 except some sheep watching me like "wtf?".

[@drektar7736]

You don't need to be really flexible to be about to do mai kaiten, or mai stemi. And you should be able to do every fall on concrete.

@@ireneuszciara3011 I watched my grandpa try to do the chair thing, just like Eli. He isn't as graceful at 83, as when he was a young ballet dancer. This time he accidentally kicked the forward circuit on his wheelchair, which took off at lightning speed over his hip, making grandpa shriek and fart at the same time. He also left a 7-meter streak of urine as he was dragged across the tiles into the fridge. Oh well, no harm, no foul. The imoprtant lesson here is, dont do drugs! Hope this helps. OSS!!!!

I remember doing those without knowing what they were when I took beginner classes at my instructor’s old school a few years ago. I believe we were drilling stage five punch protection from the guard, and J. decided to throw this in to get us used to spinning on our shoulders from right side to left. I still don’t understand the purpose, because I only did it once; but I’d love to have someone clarify the purpose of those transitions, if you could. #WithWhippedCreamAndSprinkles

I’m doing these at my gym now and everyone is staring at me but that’s ok they prob don’t understand jiu jitsu.....

[@weslawless2386]

The drills are very cool, will add them to my home program today! (Music not so good)

[@pavolskacik5064]

Hey, great video, you can do lots of techniques, drills with heavy bag, or just your gi stuffed with pillows and train armbars, sweeps, closed quard attacks... You just have to be creative. My theory is still you can drill and train technique, so when you come back to sparring you will be sharp and wont feel like you lost momentum in bjj.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Exactly 👏

[@gardennovice7896]

I'm here for the berimbolo drill!

[@brandonbuff3234]

Really enjoy your content, do you have any advice on how to prevent dizziness during rolling. I've been doing some solo drills at home but as soon as I start doing a few rolls I cut my workout short from being dizzy.

[@mikeehrmantraut6061]

Really cool. He I need a bloody bag

[@thejourney9415]

I just learned the s mount a few weeks ago as a white belt and I absolutely love using it to transition into that arm bar. Most guys in my division just get caught up thinking what a shitty position how do I get out of here rather then how do I survive? Lol

[@hotredtiger316]

2:50 ... Speaking of “Stage Five Punch Protection,” that looks amazing for practicing guard recovery for when an attacker or uke tries to spin you to one side by the ankle with the intent to violently punch one’s skull. Noice!

Hi dude, a question about the butterfly sweep. How do u put ur top grip ? Do u cross it or not? I mean, for example u will fall to the right side, so u put ur right hand on top, but with a person, do u put ur right hand on the top right or left side?

[@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind]

I like the stuff using props but I have non of them but the chair and it’s not the same guess I’ll focus on my striking for the rest of quarantine haha

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yeah, chairs and everything else are a poor substitute honestly.

Thanks man doing mma, join from boxing, and is sucks very much in bjj, got even submitted by small kids. Only got first submission watching from this channel using the basbsball grip to get a choke

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s all awesome to hear

[@robertgarrison9471]

Hey Eli, it's your favorite chess analyzer here. lol. I was hoping you might be able to share some tips to help me with solo drills while on carpet. I don't have access to a mat, and I'm in a much more limited space (the small basement). The fluidity and the movements are definitely tougher while on carpet (I can do exercises such the triangle warm up exercises and bridging exercises, however exercises like shrimping tend to lack any rhythm). Any suggestions would be great. And once again thank you for the awesome videos. For clarification, I'm not asking for new drills to do on carpet, and most of the drills that you focus on don't really favor carpet or mat. However, I was only asking if there's a certain material that one could wear or material that one could exercise on that would make it easier.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I think even some cheap puzzle piece mats or pads like they put under gym equipment help better than nothing. Also, using knee and elbow pads (that allow mobility) will also help if you have to be on a hard floor. Plus, using a throwing bag, grappling dummy or heavy bag in the floor can avoid a lot of burns and bruises.

[@robertgarrison9471]

[@BandakaKush]

[@dougieladd]

I notice your left had is not flat on the floor.. and you take weight on the knuckles... do you have wrist pain? I have a similar issue with my right hand (can't do pushups or hold weight unless I'm knuckles down... great vid. Do you have any tips on training with wrist injury? Aside from "don't do it" :) :) If there are any of course... Thanks.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yes, my wrist has been injured for several years now and I don’t have much flexion in it. I tore a ligament and didn’t get it fixed or let it properly heal. I taped it for a long time, but eventually the tape didn’t do much to help any longer. I have to post on my knuckles on that side, which in turn has caused shoulder issues and worsened my neck issues. It definitely sucks, and I would recommend taking the time, in hindsight, to do wrist rehab and strengthening exercises as often as possible. Watch Lu Strength Therapy on Instagram and he has some awesome exercises you can do for wrist help.

[@dougieladd]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Many thanks for the reply and I will definitely check Lu Strength Therapy. It's always been a hindrance since I was in my 20's, I broke a lot of the bones in my right hand/wrist (stupid stuff as an angry kid) I discovered JJ in my 50's but now I can barely hold weight so I do the same as you in all cases. I too had a shoulder issue not long after starting JJ and couldn't lift my arm above my head... took 2 years for it to get better, but I was consistent with my exercises for my shoulder (no pushups, just should-ups which was the main one I did and I think probably helped - tendons take up to 18 months to heal). Good luck with yours and thank you again for the reply/recommendation.

[@mikemiller3454]

What is that black product that you use knight before the chair

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s a throwing bag, good for training ground and pound and ground positioning.

On the Figure-8 Armbar, in the middle I'd recommend a short Chain Punching, check if they are awake, do it again, and let them continue to The Spirit World. Just to get an aggressive mindset.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s an excellent suggestion to incorporate ground and pound in a lot of these.
