We’ve spoken with Robson Moura black belt Jeff Mitchell on many occasions. He’s always provided us with some great insight on both the physical and mental aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling. We were finally able to stick a camera on him and get some of his knowledge and experiences on film to share with our viewers and the rest of the community.
For those who do not know Jeff, he’s previously shared with us some techniques which include a Brabo Choke Variation and a shoulder lock that Robson Moura himself shared.
As per Jeff’s website:
Jeff Mitchell is a lead instructor at Elite Jiu Jitsu and one of only 2 American Black Belts under famed 7X World Champion Robson Moura.With over 12 years experience, Jeff Mitchell has an excellent teaching style.

Good job Charlie. There were a lot of good nuggets of info that he shared with you.
“It costs me a lot of money to go down to Tampa and train with Robson but I do it because it gives me the opportunity to lose. And that’s the only way to get better.” – Jeff Mitchell
This was a really interesting interview. Mitchell is such a modest and humble guy it’s easy to forget that whoops, this is Robson Moura’s second American black belt. It’s funny because a lot of these guys have a significant amount of ego to wade through whereas with Mitchell it’s the opposite. You kind of wish he would blow his own horn a little more. Nice job Charlie!
