    What happened at promotions

    straight up ask him. My instructor did similar things to people, held guys at ranks where they had no idea what the problem was, winning multiple federation medals and whatnot, including me. I left. I'm a customer not a disciple, this is a sport I do, not a cult I'm in. Another well-known...

    Triangle choke finishing mechanics (different to what I was taught)

    video's good, i'd add that I have a pretty high finish rate from locked triangle...I prefer to lock it behind the knee and then I rotate both legs inward, like bringing my knees together to parallelize the shins per the video while pressing with the back of the thigh across the neck.
