I’ve been drinking from a firehouse with absolute legends this weekend!

About this video

McPhee shares his experience at day two of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training camp, where he learned turtle position techniques from instructor John Machado and butterfly guard sweeps from Carlos. He reflects on absorbing numerous techniques throughout the day and how his grappling options have expanded.

Key takeaways

• McPhee emphasizes that effective BJJ techniques rely on benign, controlled movements rather than obvious or forceful actions
• McPhee credits his wrestling background and reversal experience as foundational to understanding leverage and sweeps in grappling
• McPhee reports learning 20-30 techniques across difficulty levels in a single day and notes approaching mental saturation from high-volume instruction
