Here’s an easy move to generate momentum when you’re stuck on the ground while grappling and get things moving again. Have you signed up for my free BJJ tips by email at http://www.grapplearts.com/newsletter yet?

Here is my favorite way to set up the Triangle Choke and Armbar from the closed guard.

It all comes down to how you break your opponent’s posture and how he reacts to it.

He will have to post his hands on your body in order regain his posture, and that’s when the attacks are available.

The finishes are a little bit unorthodox, check it out!

Do I need to be in shape before I start BJJ?

This has to be one of the most commonly asked question I get from people who are new to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Most commonly it stems from fear of the unknown. People often build a Brazilian Jiujitsu class up into something in their head. Then once they try it for the first time they realize it’s nothing like they expect.

I’ve spoken to many people who finally tried their first Brazilian Jiujitsu class and loved it. And many of them tell me that they wanted to train a long time ago. But didn’t because of fear of different things.

One of the fears that pops up a lot is not being in good enough shape.

But like many people will find. You can’t really get into the kind of shape you need to be in for BJJ until you start training BJJ.

So if you’re in the same boat as our friend Will. And you want to start BJJ training but you’re nervous about not being in good enough shape.

Don’t WAIT! Start training now.

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!

Craig Jones and Lachlan Giles both reached the semi-finals of EBI.

The UNSTOPPABLE Spider Guard SWEEP! Wow guys, this sweep is so simple and effective. With a small amount of time and practice you will be hitting this 8 or 9 times out of 10. There are a couple of tricks and techniques that you need to know to execute this sweep effectively. Watch closely and try it on the mat. Let me know how you go.

GCP host Ryan and his brother Chris demonstrate an effective variation of the Pendulum Sweep. This works great for gi and no-gi grappling.

The AWESOME LEG LASSO Into LEG BAR Entrance…we looked at something similar recently – the lasso into catapult sweep, which is one of my favorites. If you have the time take a look at that video. This one uses a similar process but moves into a leg bar. Which is a brilliant submission and really hard to stop. It’s actually much easier than it might sound. Take a look at the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go!
