Ashi-waza (足技): foot throwing techniques are made much easier if you can anticipate where and when your opponent will be taking their next step. Solid grips, fluid body movement and breaking the balance of your opponent help steer them into taking a step – that step can be anticipated and met with a sharp, well timed foot sleep. #ashiwaza

in the live video today world champion @zachkaina taught a private lesson to mick, 9 years old yellow belt from artofjiujitsu academy. more important than the techniques, is the lesson on how to keep the class fun and challenging for a younger/smaller student.

today artofjiujitsu.com also posted all the lives from this week on the library, so if you missed any of the lives go there and check it out.

next lives will be on monday, march 30th.

For some time I have be reassessing some of my iconic fights and I’m excited to see what you guys think. Tune in next Thursday for my very first breakdown analysis #braulioestimabreakdown

Check out this super sneaky armlock from the collar sleeve position. You can really catch your opponent off guard with this technique and set up other attacks as well.

For the full details on this position be sure to check out the full video on Keenan Online.

Transforming into a different person // When I compete sometimes I have been horrified. I would picture myself getting killed, getting destroyed by my opponent even right before stepping onto the mat. But when the match started, I would make grips, and then all of a sudden my mind, which was racing before, would shut off. My conscious being leaves my body. I feel like I become a different person. A different (Mikey,Mickey,Miguel 😂). I don’t necessarily even remember what happens when I switch over, everything goes black. When I come back to consciousness I am sometimes in shock what I did, on the back, have a submission; etc. I believe my body is able to do this from hours and hours of drilling and hard training which creates muscle memory that your body is able to go to in a time of stress or when you feel pain. It’s just so interesting the psychology behind what happens to me when I compete. In this video you can clearly see me snap out of the subconscious after applying the choke back to consciousness. Look at my eyes how they switch! So fascinating!!! #psychology #psicologia 🇧🇷 Uma pessoa diferente // quando eu competir, as vezes fico horrorizado. Eu me imaginava sendo morto, sendo destruído pelo meu adversário mesmo antes de lutar. Mas qdo a luta comecar e tenho as minhas pegadas, de repente minha mente, que tava doida antes, se desligava. A parte de mim que é consciente, sai do meu corpo. Eu sinto q me tornei uma pessoa diferente. Um diferente, (Mikey, Mickey, Miguel) kkk 🤣. Eu nem me lembro necessariamente do que acontece qdo troco, tudo fica escuro. Qdo volto a consciência. As vezes fico chocado tipo tenho as costas, com uma finalizada; etc. Acredito q o meu corpo é capaz de fazer isso das horas do treino intenso e fazendo drills todos os dias. Isso cria uma memória muscular q o seu corpo é capaz de acessar num momento de estresse ou qdo sente dor. É mto interessante a psicologia por trás do que acontece comigo qdo eu competir. Neste vídeo, vc pode me ver claramente sair do subconsciente depois de finalizar o Ezequiel das costas voltando á consciência. Olha nos meus olhos como eles mudam!! Tão fascinante!!!

De Ashi Barai translates to Advancing Foot Sweep and in this video, we show why this throw is so well named.

(From a seminar I did 5 years ago)
These are a few central concepts of my Jiu-Jitsu Top Game:
1. Always try to put myself in territories that are familiar to me where I understand all the options (I call these “Staging Areas).
2. Make sure those Territories are also environments in which my opponent’s mistakes are inevitable.
3. Control my opponent’s priorities.
4. Use Extreme Pressure and Control to limit, slow, ride or direct my opponents movements. Always keep his movements predictable to me.
5. Make my opponent ALWAYS carry my weight.
6. Make sure his body is never in alignment.
7. Use pain, pressure, or inability to breathe to force him to make a choice (making sure his only options are bad ones).
One thing I try to do is always get to positions where I more and more limit the variables. This is why I don’t focus on just jumping around and going to as many positions as possible. It can be boring to roll with me because when I get to these positions my opponent has just a few options and if he does escape, I return him to these same control areas as soon as possible.
Here is sort of a variation of one I use a lot. I have a heavy shoulder of justice from side control. If my opponent stays there, I can either mount but more often I will just increase the pressure. If he turns in I go to reverse Kesa with the guillotine hold.
Again, I force him to carry my weight.
If he stays here, I can continue to make the pressure worse and worse.
I can also step to mount and finish the submission or continue the pressure.
If he goes back to his back, I go back to a heavy cross face and it starts all over.
If he tries to come on to top from his side, he’s walking into the full guillotine.
Many will still try to come on top even if they know the guillotine is waiting because I am able to put so much pressure on them when they’re on their side.
This is one of my top attack sequences and one I return to over and over when rolling.
I’m not showing my side control here but some details on the guillotine hold I use when my opponent turns on his side.
That is Decision 1: Deal with the pressure or turn on his side and into the guillotine hold. ( I have another flow if they try to roll away.)
Decision 2: Stay there and deal with the pressure or 1. Go back to being pinned, or 2. Allow me to mount, or 3. Come on top into the guard guillotine.
This is a flow I return to constantly!
Notice the choice I always force is between Pressure/Pain on the one hand and Submission/Positional advancement for me on the other.
I’ll cover this in much more depth on my Pressure & Control Instructional when this is all over and I can start shooting. But, for now I’m getting time to write out and finish the syllabi for all my DVDs
