So someone has you in mount – do you have an escape plan? do you have a methodology that works? that helps against that person that holds you in super tight? or perhaps that guy that is spread wide and perhaps a bit loose – so you just can’t seem to budge him / can’t bridge and roll him. Well, this video is for you. Here are two moves, when used together will get you out of mount (nearly) every single time. Watch the video, try it on the mat. And let me know how you go.

In this Brazilian Jiu jitsu technique sequence, we use bjj techniques such as the Kiss of the dragon, and the arm bar. We hope you enjoy.

Oh, wow…this is an awesome technique. I am really excited to show with you the totally legal at white belt Canadian Ankle lock. Super effective. Has a great little sweep entry and then the finish is very effective. I know you guys will be able to get this. Check out the video and then try it on the mat. Let me know how you go!

Sometimes when you are going for the cutting armbar from the bottom your opponent pushes down low and presses towards the ground. Perhaps you have not placed your knee in as a protection against this defense…but no problem, you can move straight into the Kimura! Watch as I demonstrate this move, I think you will like it. Try it out on the mats and let me know how it goes.

In this video, I discuss a little trick that is more a state of mind an approach rather than a technique. But it’s easily just as effective. And it is often overlooked. Every time I tell my students this little trick their results from back control go through the roof! check out the video and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how you go

The bridge and roll is basic. It is simple. It is taught very early on in the white belt syllabus – but so many of us stop using it. Because they are not using it correctly. There are some simple tricks that in reality are not tricks…they are MUSTS. If you do them…the bridge and roll will be your favorite technique. Not a forgotten one. So, watch this video. Learn the tricks. And give it a try on the mat. Let me know how you go.

Continuing on with the Overhook x-guard series…we now look at a very basic sweep from this position. It might be basic but is sure is effective. Quick to execute against your opponent and opens up many submission opportunities. This is a taster and I think you will like it. Take a look. Try it on the mat. And let me know what you think.

You might remember in a recent video where I discussed the hitchhiker escape. If you missed that video, I highly recommend viewing that first…

But like everything in Jiu Jitsu there are counters to counters to counters…and here is one. How to stop the hitchhiker escape. Watch the video carefully and find a way to stop the hitchhiker escape right in its tracks! It really works, try it on the mat. And let me know how it goes…

A topic that comes up a lot for people that compete. There are better ways and worse ways to cut weight. Seriously dehydrating yourself is not one of them!

A ‘must have’ in the BJJ arsenal. The hitchhiker escape from the Armbar. This technique can quickly turn a very bad day for you into a very bad day for your opponent. And it really is rather simple and the mechanics when you think about it – rather straight forward. The great thing is that many Jiu Jitsu competitors either forget about the escape (and hence the counter) or just have not seen it at all. Give it a try on the mat. Let me know how you do. I hope you love it.

You might have seen me use this in rolling. It’s a fantastic submission and offers a level of leverage that the regular footlock does not have. It catches people by surprise and is very effective in competition. Watch the video. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

I try and roll in a long sequence with my students where they come in fresh one after the other after I’ve had a good rolling session during class. This keeps my cardio up and ensures that I need to keep on top of my game. Take a look at this video where I use some of the techniques that I’ve spoken about in previous videos. If there are some moves that I use that you would like me to cover in future video tutorials. Please just ask in the comment box below. Enjoy!

In this quick little vlog I discuss ways to think about your jiu jitsu growth and evolution. How to enhance and continually progress in Jiu Jitsu. It’s not the easy path but is sure is a rewarding one. Listen to this vlog and let me know what you think. Hopefully this will resonate with you guys!

Omoplata’s are super effective and deadly to use on the mat. But like everything…they don’t always work. Sometimes due to a number of circumstances you just can’t seem to finish them. Well, that’s ok! As long as you have another technique up your sleeve. Watch this video and you will. A sneaky little choke that will work when your Omoplata has failed.
