In the final part of our short series…this is transitioning from an over hook x-guard to a single leg X. Actually, it really is an Ashi Garami – meaning leg entanglement. But as you will see from the video, the transition can be extremely quick. And because of this it opens up many, many options for you. Take a look at the video and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how it goes…

Grip strength is absolutely one of the most important attributes in BJJ. And developing them is not something that requires any super human athleticism. In this video I discuss HOW To Develop CRAZY GRIP Strength For BJJ and you too will be able to do it.

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…

In this video I discuss Two Hacks to GET THE SWEEP When You Are CLOSE But Not Quite There. And how often does that happen? so much of Jiu Jitsu is getting close but it’s the final yards that are so difficult. Your partner is defending – so it’s not like drilling. That’s where these hacks come in. They help you leap over those last yards. Check out this video, give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes…

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.

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!

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.

An easy mount escape – straight into a footlock. I love this as being mounted is a really tough spot to be in…and to turn that around into a tap is fantastically rewarding. The best news is that it can be done. I do it all the time and so do my students. Check out this video to see the details of the technique and then try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how it goes…
