Omoplata’s are super effective and deadly to use on the mat. But like everything…they don’t always work. Sometimes due to a number of circumstances you just can’t seem to finish them. Well, that’s ok! As long as you have another technique up your sleeve. Watch this video and you will. A sneaky little choke that will work when your Omoplata has failed.

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…

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

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!

We recently discussed the pendulum sweep moving into a triangle. Here we talk about moving it straight into an armbar. There are some tricks to this move that I discuss in some detail. Watch the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go!

This is a very simple choke that used to be or often was the first choke taught from back control. It is now often not taught until much later in a student’s Jiu Jitsu journey. Still, you can learn it very easily. Just watch this video and then give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

One of my favourites passes. And a pass that is taught very early on to my white belts. This video teaches some very basics with some simple ideas to be aware of so you can execute this effectively. Done correctly this can become a mainstay of your Jiu Jitsu guard passing game. Check out the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is one of my favorite sweeps – The Leg LASSO CATAPULT Sweep! Why? because it also involves one of my favorite guards the spider guard. With a few tweaks, you can grab a sweep that is very difficult to defend and enormously effective. Watch this video, try it out on the mat and let me know how you go….
