Last year, Eddie Bravo came to visit Decatur, Alabama and this excellent meme was one of the many great memories we have from the Truck seminar.

“Deep Half Guard is a great option especially when facing a heavier opponent.

For the guy on bottom, Deep Half will help make the top guy not seem so heavy because we’re only carrying the weight of one leg rather than his entire body.

It can be used to sweep, set up leg attacks and in this case, create back exposure for back takes or some front headlock attacks depending on how the opponent reacts.

Here, Bmac feels Lmacs weight tipping towards her hands and uses that to come out the back door to get a look at the back.

From here, we have a good look at back takes or else front headlock game if our opponent turns into us and we lose the back exposure.”

“Summer 2019, young Irish Taco (Nate) traveled across the world from Ireland to visit me (Keith, his coach) & the rest of the amazing people at Decatur, Alabama.
Leading up to his trip, I had considered giving him his blue belt but I wanted to see how he did in Decatur before I made my decision.
Long story shorter, he proved he was capable and indeed deserved that blue belt but that doesn’t mean he gets to leave Alabama with his soul. Bmac used to live on Coke Zero & Souls, he has since kicked the Coke Zero habit but he still cannot survive without claiming the souls of fresh blue belts (or any belt to be honest).
I must say, I do enjoy the beating from Bmac & the sense of “I shouldn’t have done that” that comes with those beatings but it brought me great joy to see my student taking the beating that was usually reserved for me. Here’s a video of the last time Taco got to roll with Bmac.

Poor/Lucky guy.
Perspective.”

Rickson Gracie and Mike Tyson exchange some heated words on the Fury vs Wilder 2 Fight Companion.

Ok I confess: this was really Eli Knight and myself (Brandon Mccaghren). I know that’s hard to believe because of the accuracy of the impressions, but that really is me.

Enjoy. 😂

Black Belt vs Purple Belt

By far the request I get the most is “more rolling videos.” So, here’s some training footage of me and Stephen, one of our purple belts and one of my favorite training partners.

Obviously, this is just training footage, so it’s all in good spirit and probably all you’re gonna get from me now days as I’m getting old 😂

Working out this sweet new headgear by polishing up my lockdown half guard with a few of my white belt students during beginners class.

Don’t be jelly about that head gear, kids. Or the gi pants.

The lockdown is a STAPLE of the 10th Planet system. I have a TON of lockdown material coming for you very soon!

Good, strong posture is the one of the hallmarks of a great Jiu Jitsu practitioner. When using Jiu Jitsu in a self defense situation, good fundamentals becomes even more important because the consequences are so much more serious.

This is a short clip from a class I taught on headlock counters and escapes, and we have to start by talking about posture and fundamentals.
I hope you guys find this helpful!

This is my favorite variation of the darce choke. We call it the Can Crusher Darce. But I like to slide down the arm and fall into a Marce Choke. One of the nastiest and tightest submissions in my game right now.

Hope you guys enjoy! And shout out to Drew Foster for coming down and doing these videos with me.

I almost never use Outside Ashi, or DOA, anymore. Unless I’ve already got the bite on the heel. Check this out and let me know if this helps your heel hook game a little bit.

In Catch Wrestling, they call this position the Sugar Hold, and it’s an absolutely amazing place to posture up and throw fight finishing strikes in an MMA fight.

But in the context of pure grappling it’s a great position, too because it opens up a whole new path of creativity.

Pay attention to the details here and make sure you get the placement of your hand correct as well as the footwork. Otherwise, you’re gonna struggle and do the whole “this move doesn’t work for me” thing. Nonsense. You just need a better understanding. As with most things.

Those voices you hear in the back are the fighters I work with down at SBG in Birmingham, Alabama. Walt Harris and Eryk Anders, both in the UFC currently.
