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!

Do you get hung on getting promoted as a BJJ White Belt? Do you see others get promoted but wonder why you weren’t picked?

I got this question recently. Our friend has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is doing really well. He’s winning BJJ competitions and smashing people in training.

BUT!

He’s still a 1 stripe White Belt and isn’t sure what’s up. He says that he even gives the Blue Belts in his Brazilian Jiujitsu gym a good run for their money. But yet he is still passed up for training.

My answer in this video is a little more direct. And I speak from more of the vantage point of a coach.

And in this situation I would tell anyone to let go of promotions and fall in love with the grind of BJJ training. Fall in love with the day to day cool stuff that happens. Rather than being fixated on getting the next stripe or belt.

Because you don’t have control over that.

And most importantly. It will fail you in the long term. The acquirement of a belt isn’t as meaningful as you think. The most meaningful part about the belt is the journey that was required to reach it.

I look back at my belts and I don’t really remember the promotions that much. Instead I remember the training and all the work that went into it.

That’s what’s important.

Hope the video helps!

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.

This is a quick armbar from the spider guard without passing the leg over the head.

Drill to win! It’s important to drill the specifics of a technique to make sure you can hit it when you roll at the Academy or at a tournament. In this video, Cobrinha breaks down a section of the technique to create a great drill to improve coming up from the lapel guard to get a sweep.

These stretches and exercises are some that I have used and found beneficial and effective for improving hip flexibility which can help with rubber guard and assists with guard retention.
