What’s up everyone?
Let's hop right into it: THE Viral Trend Breakdown
What's been proving to pop off right now across all niches is this:
🔥3 Trend: Show ONE specific move or a part of the move only. Have the video play 3-4 times: once in normal speed, then fast speed, then slow motion, then back to normal speed with an engaging text hook. (This is a SURE-fire viral trend across BJJ, MMA, Wrestling, Sports)
1. Trends for Jiu Jitsu / MMA / Wrestlers
- Training montage meets cinematic hook: Show-up, sweat, stance, takedown, repeat. Slow-motion clinch, quick cut to victory face. Uses trending dramatic audio.
- “Fight-prep day in the life” style. Your gym bag, your warm-up, your mental prep, comedown. Relatable for fighters, aspirational for fans.
- Technique breakdowns + “What I wish I knew at 15” Short-form tutorial of one move, then a tip or myth-busting line (“Most kids learn wrong hip movement – here’s the fix”).
- Underdog story / “from zero to roll-out” You on mats with no crowd, then with crowd, tie into your journey. Emotion + authenticity wins.
2. “Talking-head” Video Trends
- Verbal hooks — start with something like: "The one mistake your opponent banked on you making…” “If your mount gets passed every time, fix this first…” “Here’s why you’ve been doing takedowns wrong…”
- Head directly into camera, hands visible, strong eye contact. Subtitle on screen (helps muted viewers).
- Split screen + text overlay: you say something, left side your face, right side a relevant stat/image/move.
- Challenge statement → promise → content → CTA Hook: “You’ll lose if you skip THIS step.”
- Promise: “Here’s how to win instead.”Content: 3 points.
- CTA: “Save this and tag a training partner.”
