The s mount might be my favorite mount position – why? because it is a real kill position. There are so many options for you from S-mount and none of them are good for your opponent. Check this video out. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

Initial thoughts on the Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support and Genutrain Knee Brace. These are two of the best knee braces for grappling. The feel, support, compression, and fit are important as these braces stay in place with grappling and don’t restrict movement.
Check out the braces here: http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=706061&u=1416655&m=58066&urllink=&afftrack=

This is a fantastic footlock that is still legal at whitebelt level in competition.

I hope you’ll like this episode of the Grapplearts Radio Podcast! In it I talk with 62 yr old BJJ black belt Rabbi Mordecai Finley (the Wrassling Rabbi) about many topics including starting BJJ at a later age and finally getting his black belt at age 62, how to pick the the right jiu-jitsu club, training with sciatica and after a heart attack, the horrors of the Eastern Front in World War 2, the extremes of human fortitude, interpreting the Torah, being Leonard Cohen’s rabbi, awarding Blue Belts in marriage counselling, and much more.

Heel Hook By Dean Lister

My most successful Triangle set ups http://www.chewjitsu.net/chad-hardy-bjj/

The darce has been my second favorite Submission ever since I learned how to really make this choke work.

UsuallyI always hit this off of the cut through pass reason being I can use the head grip and pin the legs without them turning over to a double leg.

The key here is really leaning in like an uppercut and forcing your body to put a lot of pressure up towards the chest. At the same time you will need to get your clamp on the head and his will immobilized your opponent.

After the steps are completed your last move it to turn back towards the head for even more torque and pressure on the neck.

Enjoy!

This is choke that I came across while messing around with my friend Spencer. This is still in an experimental phase, but I figured I would show it to you all and let you go to town on it.

It is setup from the top half guard, and looks like a cross between a Peruvian and Japanese neck tie. I show two setups, one from the cradle and one from the reverse Kimura. Let me know your thoughts and I am open to suggestions on a better name, lol!

UPDATE: I found out my friend and catch wrestling badass Neil Melanson has used this same choke before me and calls it the German Necktie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrWd5Y-in80). That name fits better, so I will stick with that.
