Hello Forum! It's been awhile and I was trying to find my old thread that is linked on the first page of this thread and it's giving me an error. Does this mean that it has been deleted?
any insight would be great!
In this video I show an aggressive flop pass. This is a very competitive pass that pairs well with a lot of other open guard passes. It takes some practice with the timing and the pathway for the legs but once you have drilled it, this pass is highly effective.
One of the things that I had...
There are a lot of really great and friendly schools in Brazil. As you can guess I would suggest Gordo's school in Barra. Admittedly it's been awhile since I've been to Brazil so hopefullly some people make suggestions.
The original plan was to go for 6 1/2 months. About half way through that trip I made the decision that I was going to move there forever.
Upon coming home to sell all of my belongings and move back, I met my now wife. I did end up going back and changed my plans to stay until I got my...
This is the 3rd of 4 techniques that I will be showing in a Clock Choke series.
Things start to get interesting here as I show a Clock Choke / Bow and Arrow variation. This can be a really powerful submission that is difficult to defend.
A couple of notes
1. Getting grips on the collar is...
This is the second of four techniques that I will be teaching in a Clock Choke attacking series.
This is a much more realistic setup that is extremely high percentage. It is a struggle to get the hands onto the collar at any belt level, but if you can take the back it is much more viable...
In this video I show a drilling sequence for the Omoplata. The Omoplata can be a difficult position/submission for people to understand.
In my opinion, learning how the Omoplata fits with the Triangle and the Reverse Triangle can lead to a greater understanding of the mechanics of the...
1. You can still do this even when they grab their belt, although it will be diffficult for them to grab your belt when you have your leg in the the way like it is in techincal mount.
2. You dont have to trace teh C every time you do a Paper cutter but you will find tha tit increases the power...
In this video I show a variation of the Paper Cutter Choke.
Over the years I've learned that a move is only as good as it's setup or entry. This particular entry has been very successful for me because when it goes wrong it rarely ends with me on the bottom.
In addition to it being a...
In this video I show a different way to look at the Knee Cut Pass.
The Knee Cut is a very common, and effective, technique. Making sure you understand the mechanics of the movement and executing it with your hips rather than with your knee can make a big difference in it's success rate.
Here is a new video that I filmed on Friday. It is not a technique video, but I do believe it has value for people who train.
There was 5-7 minutes that I edited off from the beginning of the video where I talk about my trip to Brazil and how it gave me perspective into belt ranking...
In this video I show a series that we worked on in class. This was a weeks worth of techniques that complimented some previous move sets (primarily the Tai Otoshi series against an opponent on their knees and the Knee Drive series).
These little foot movements can be invaluable for passing the...
In this video I show a variation of the previous Knee Shield Pass.
Having multiple passes off of a single starting position can raise the viability of each individual pass. This also has the benefit of passing to the off side and depending on the opponent, can be very successful.
For...
Note** The beginning of this video I talk about teaching and the difficulties of being an instructor. I also talk about a good training partner and how this technique fits into the larger picture of hand placement. If you do not want to hear about the teaching process and this aspect of the...
Here are some moves that I use together to help escape Side Control. The video is long but it's a lot of content and I talk about "why" as much as I talk about "what". If you're into that type of thing you you may enjoy this.
In this video I show a very important skill for guard recovery and retention, the elbow push. I believe most advanced grapplers understand this concept and movement but very few can recall being taught how it works.
There are a lot of nuances with this move and a lot of "feel". Obviously it...
