This may be different to a lot of academies…but I get the feeling that it’s probably not. The toughest guys in my academy – are around 40 years old! now that might be counter intuitive. One would suspect that as the decades move along that the students would get a little weaker. But, certainly, in my academy, the opposite seems to be true. The reason for this phenomena is, I think, simple…the 40-year-olds don’t come with bags of ego and just forget about the bullsh@t and just want to learn, roll and get better. It’s that simple. Any why should it be any other way. Let me know your thoughts guys?

Gregor Gracie and Didi Martins.

• Position :

– Side Control / Cross Grips / North South Choke.

–––

• Music :

– Cranneg – Throw

One of my favorite position is the 50.50. Now as the name would suggest you are in exactly the same position as your training partner. So no advantage. But not so. If you have practiced this more. Perhaps much more – then you are at a distinct advantage. And a great transition is into this footlock. And in competition, the transition will constitute a sweep and will be one of the easiest sweeps you will get. Check out this video. It’s incredibly effective. Very powerful and a lot of fun. Give it a try on the mat. And let me know how you go…

Professor Mark Sausser, 1st Degree Black Belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

A lifelong competitor, Mark started training in the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) in 2002. He was intrigued by the dominance of BJJ in combat sports. BJJ also gave him the opportunity to compete without the heavy abuse to his body. Gustavo recognized his dedication to the sport and talent for teaching and allowed Mark to coach classes at the main academy. As Mark progressed and earned his senior belts, Gustavo gave his blessing for Mark to open an affiliate academy in Norfolk.

From an early age, Mark has been involved with different forms of karate and striking sports. He boxed in the Golden Gloves and the Marine Corps. He coached boxing and also competed in professional full contact kickboxing. Mark is actively training to improve his jiu-jitsu and has recently taken up Judo. He is a fierce competitor and a passionate coach. In 2009, Mark won the brown belt division at the Pan-AM games in New York.

About Head Instructor Lachlan Giles:

Lachlan earned his BJJ black belt in July 2012 and is the 2014 Australian Jiu-Jitsu Grand Prix Champion, multiple time Pan Pacific and Victorian Jiu Jitsu Champion and has competed at 4 World Championship events.

In 2014 he completed a clean sweep of the black belt division at Australia’s most prestigious competition, the Pan Pacific Championships, winning 4 gold medals. In 2015, he competed in the ADCC Championship and later reached the semi-finals of EBI5.

In 2016 he won the ADCC Asian Trials and earned a spot at the 2017 ADCC Championship which will be held in Helsinki, Finland.

Outside of BJJ, he works as a physiotherapist, and is currently completing his PhD at La Trobe University.

Marcelo Garcia was no doubt one of the best grapplers to grace Jiu Jitsu. His smooth transitions, focus on submissions, and humble personality has endeared him to all.

That was what made Robert Drysdale’s super fast tap out of him all the more impressive. I remember I was watching from mat side just after having lost to Robert in overtime, and being in awe of how quick he dispatched Garcia with the Brabo Choke.

Kind of made me feel better about myself, lol!

So when he teaches the Brabo, I listen. Many of you will be surprised to hear that he doesn’t even consider it a choke. He has a few gold nuggets that will completely change your understanding of the technique, and help you finish it faster!

Kesa Gatame is the Japanese for Head lock control. We can often end up in this position if our opponent or training partner looks for an underhook when on the bottom. That is an opportunity to grab his other arm and pull it up, kick your left leg through to be under his tricep…while you get under his head with your other arm. Then all of sudden your training partner is staring down Kesa Gatame! and it’s not a great position to find yourself in. There are many submissions from here…

Check out this video as I discuss in the detail this awesome position guys. I hope you like it. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I really, really believe that competing is good for everyone! You have built the courage to just come to a Jiu Jitsu Academy and now you have got comfortable with your team mates and the way the class flows. But I think that Jiu Jitsu practitioners should think about placing in that little bit of extra excitement and ‘nervousness’ of competing. This is a chance to test your skills against someone completely new who has gone on a different journey than you and who might have a skill set that will challenge and push you. Win or lose. I guarantee you will be better for it and your Jiu Jitsu will be better for it…watch this video as I discuss this important topic.

I have faced a lot of world class competitors over the years, and Robert Drysdale certainly is at the top of that list of the best of the best.

As one of the few Americans to win the IBJJF Mundials as a black belt, ADCC 2007 Absolute Champion, and undefeated MMA fighter – Robert has competed at the apex of the sport and coached many people to that level.

Cradles?

In wrestling the Cradle is a powerful pinning technique that can also be used to score take downs. In BJJ and MMA, it has not really been utilized. I myself have often played around with them for BJJ, but Robert has taken it to another level to develop a step-by-step passing sequence to crush the half guard player.

So now that I got your attention – you ready to learn how to pass the half guard with the cradle? The first step is to use the sprawl break, which will open up the half guard and put you in side control. Check it out and see more at http://bjjcradle.com

We have been looking at some mount escapes recently. And a mount escape into deep half maybe my favourite. To the novice when you are in deep half it might appear that you have not progressed your position. But nothing could be further than the truth. When you are in a truly good deep half…you are in control and you will get that sweep! It takes a while to get the ‘feel’ for this position but stick with it. Once you perfect it…even when your partner knows you are going for deep half – they will struggle to prevent it. This is enormously popular with my students and is used often on the mat and to great impact in competition. Watch this video carefully as I take you over the little tips and tricks that make all the difference.
