The clock choke is an extremely useful move when you catch your opponent going to turtle. In this video, I show some fundamental aspects of the basic application, variations on grips, transitions to other submissions and the more advanced “Tornado” application.

Your top positions should make the person on bottom struggle, if not panic. While there are times to lull the person on bottom into a false sense of security, typically it is a good idea to be oppressive with the pressure and control you establish over them.

This video discusses how better to transition to and control your knee on belly in order to get a usable reaction from your opponent. I hope this offers some details and insights that can be of use in your game. Let me know if so!

The Octopus Guard is the name coined by Eduardo Telles who has some amazing uses for this position. But like most things in Jiu-Jitsu, if it is good then people start to work it and come up with new amazing stuff.

While visiting Endeavor Defense & Fitness in Hilliard, Ohio for a Bladed Grappling seminar, my friend Ward Hiney showed me some of his favorite things he hits off this powerful position.

Whether it is MMA, BJJ gi or no-gi, self-defense, etc. this guard has a lot to offer. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Here are some very useful, tricky and painful compression locks for arms and legs. Obviously, there are many that could be added to the list, but these are the ones that Jared Jessup and I have hit more than anything over the years and feel pretty confident in. Not only are these painful, but more importantly, they can cause damage.

Let me know what you think about these and if you have any favorites not included in this video. Thanks again for watching!

Fighting off the wall can be a game changing skill to have, not just for MMA but also for self-defense. I had the privilege of training with Nick “Chewy” Albin and collaborating on a few videos. This was one of my favorites!

The kimura (or double wristlock) is an extremely powerful and versatile control point as well as submission. And as is shown in this video, it can help to transition to other positions and set up other attacks. This leg attack entry is very sneaky and difficult to defend. Try it out and see what you think.

This is the first in a series I filmed with my good friends JD Caputo and Coty Kellison, looking at offensive use of the clothing for chokes in both a training environment and street environment. There is a lot of potential for this, and here is one of my favorites with the jacket, referred to as the Gerbi choke. It is so named after an Israeli Judoka who has hit this multiple times at the highest levels of competition. Please let me know what you think, like and share.

If you hate being trapped in North/South position, and you don’t necessarily care to follow IBJJF rules to escape it, then this is a good escape for you.

At One Championship on July 27th, Master Renzo Gracie took on Yuki Kondo, resulting in Renzo showing some amazing technical skills, eventually taking down and choking Kondo.

In the second round, Renzo did a great job managing distance, throwing occasional short combos before shooting for a single leg takedown. When Kondo defended the single, Renzo immediately transitioned to the back, then quickly got a rear takedown, secured the rear mount and applied a short choke to finish the fight

Congratulations to Master Renzo Gracie for such an awesome display.

Transitioning into a modified guard position like this one, sometimes called the Puppet Master, creates a target-rich environment for submissions and even a backtake take opportunity. Not always the easiest position to set up, this video shows a situation that can lead to it quite often.

These moves shouldn’t really work. But for some reason, they are actually pretty effective. My friend Brandon Mccaghren, 10th Planet Black Belt who runs 10P Decatur, Alabama launched a Fake News BJJ movement recently, showcasing techniques that shouldn’t work but somehow they do. That inspired me to contribute to this idea by making a full YouTube video on the subject because there are so many interesting and contradictory views on what works, what should work and could work.

One of the questions I have had several times lately in comments and messages is about the idea of using a heel hook in a street fight – what is my opinion to the validity of moves like this, typically reserved for more competition or sportive environments. So here is my opinion!
