Most well-rounded game of the top guys in my opinion.

When you step out into a quiet night and look towards the North Star, the slight rhythmic trempling of the earth you feel, is Einarr training his Osoto of vengeance on the icy earth of his Viking dojo.

The question is, where does the sweep start, meaning the actual technique that breaks the opponent balance and tips him over. In your case, it is you grabbing his hip/ hugging him and then pushing into him. That grip starts when you are on your knees. At that point it is a new situation and it...

100% agree with Lechien on scoring those 2 sweeps. Definitely no sweep points. Regarding the sweep points from halfguard via going to your knees, I only score that when you do not change your grips and it is a fluent situation, meaning he cannot fully stabilize his turtle.

Rilion has always cornered Renzo, at least from what remember. He has a school in Florida and is famed for his guard in the family.

You have to understand that the Omoplata is a position leading to multiple sweeps and submissions other than just finishing the omoplata. There is an answer to almost any counter, once you have the omoplata position. That being said, to flatten him out, here are some tips: 1) Instead of...

Reminds me of the Bas Rutten story of the Ninjas at one of his seminars saying how easily they could defeat the moves he was showing, including eye gouging to escape the locked RNC. So he said: "OK, we try it! I put you in the RNC, you try to poke my eyes out and if it hurts me, I break your...

I'd say that Dan has earned a lot of cred and respect for fighting, training with great guys, loving the sport and following his passion. On the other hand he is just not very good a making instructional videos. Maybe he is also not that good at being a teacher, but I wouldn't come to that...

Most important bits have been said already. Biggest issue on time management is bracketing. We have been running one of the bigger tournaments in Germany here for many years. We had one guy develop a software that brackets automatically and is linked in with the scoreboards. But it took a few...

This is good advice! Staying rooted to the ground is the basis for a good frame. A frame serves as an ernergy-saver (as you are using your skeletal system and not mainly your muscular system) and as the basis from where to escape. Just as or more important to me is moving early. Almost...

Too bad about Harumafuji.... looked like a nasty injury and was swelling up fast. Hope he recovers well and soon.

Good job TS, sometimes you have to step in and it seems you did it very well. Concerning the bystanders, if you need to have someone involved, address them directly. For example: You in the blue shirt and you with the hat; please help me hold this guy down. This is an effective strategy to...

Another good video from the great Ido Portal on the subject. He also has a challenge going on FB: spend 30 minutes (cumulative) per day in the deep squat position for 30 straight days. Will get you back to makig it a resting position: https://www.facebook.com/groups/30squat/?fref=ts

If he has the far arm trapped with his legs, it is an americana from the crucifix. If he hasn't it is nothing.

Don't forget that Roger was far from full-strength after a staph infection. I think it really showed in the match.

Wow that is some Aikido shit from Hakuho.... Thanks for the recaps Araibira!

I really like the match-ups, don't know what your guys' problem is.... No mismatches and 20 minutes sub-only - you just dont get to see this anywhere else... Rafa against Clark will be interesting due to the weight difference, also Clark is getting better IMO. Also, the Keenan match-up...

He says he trains jiu jitsu and fights BJJ, so I think the point is that he sees BJJ as a rulest that is more restricted than what he teaches and trains.
