Rickson Gracie and Mike Tyson exchange some heated words on the Fury vs Wilder 2 Fight Companion.

Ok I confess: this was really Eli Knight and myself (Brandon Mccaghren). I know that’s hard to believe because of the accuracy of the impressions, but that really is me.

Enjoy. 😂

Good, strong posture is the one of the hallmarks of a great Jiu Jitsu practitioner. When using Jiu Jitsu in a self defense situation, good fundamentals becomes even more important because the consequences are so much more serious.

This is a short clip from a class I taught on headlock counters and escapes, and we have to start by talking about posture and fundamentals.
I hope you guys find this helpful!

In Catch Wrestling, they call this position the Sugar Hold, and it’s an absolutely amazing place to posture up and throw fight finishing strikes in an MMA fight.

But in the context of pure grappling it’s a great position, too because it opens up a whole new path of creativity.

Pay attention to the details here and make sure you get the placement of your hand correct as well as the footwork. Otherwise, you’re gonna struggle and do the whole “this move doesn’t work for me” thing. Nonsense. You just need a better understanding. As with most things.

Those voices you hear in the back are the fighters I work with down at SBG in Birmingham, Alabama. Walt Harris and Eryk Anders, both in the UFC currently.

Gotta be careful with this entry into the Honey Hole. There’s a lot of finesse involved, and even some of the greats of Jiu Jitsu have injured themselves in this position. It even happened to Gordon Ryan. Be safe here and enjoy those leg locks!

Using the Jean Jacques Butterfly Sweeps to open up the Meat Hook, which is a variation of the Rubber Guard that I use as one of my primary attacks from Butterfly Guard.

As always, the Triangle Choke should really be your #1 attack from all variations of Rubber Guard.

Hope yall enjoy!

This is one of the craziest looking moves in my arsenal. It looks like a magic trick, but it’s actually ultra simple and easy to learn. Especially if you already have a great triangle and mounted triangle.

I picked it up off of Jean Jacques Machado when he was here back when I was but a lowly blue belt in 10th Planet. It took me years to understand it, but I think if you’ll give it a go you’ll pick it right up.

The Deep Half Guard was all the rage back in the day, but has since slipped in popularity.
I still use it a ton and I love the potential applications for MMA, where we have seen it used many man times to sweep or escape.

I’ve seen so many people struggle with triangles and even give up on them because they feel like their legs are too short to make it work. But really, it has very little to do with that. Look at my legs: short, kinda thick thick like Beyoncé. But the triangle is my most frequent and potent submission in my game.

It’s not leg length. It’s your technique.

So I really like teaching triangles, because it always turns on the light bulb for someone. Plus, I think the triangle is the most important submission in all of Jiu Jitsu.
