Ashi garami, heelhook. Submission, counter and another counter to submission. You should know it all. Watch the second installment in detail and let me know if you have any questions.

Frank Mir demonstrates a really interesting grip that he likes to use to complete the Guillotine! Check it out!

The single leg takedown is a great takedown technqiue and maybe the most used in grappling. But there are a number of great counters and this particular one places you into a fantastic kill position. I use it often and my students have used it, with positive results, in competitions. Take a look and give it a try. Let me know how it goes.

I am attending an immersive training session(s) in Dallas Texas, with my professor and coach the legend Prof Carlos Machado. I want to keep a video diary of my thoughts and give you guys a first-hand feedback of my time.

Is BJJ Enough for SELF DEFENCE or MMA? This is a topic that is raised a lot in our sport. In this video, I provide some of my thoughts.

Being stacked when executing an armbar is extremely common. But the counter is incredibly easy and very effective. Just a few little tricks and you will be countering the ‘stack’ – every time! Check out the video and try it out on the mat. Let me know how it goes…

We did a video recently with the starting ‘from knees’ position. The technique works just as well from a throw. You can set it up so that you are thrown but end the match quickly with an armbar. It works. A student of mine did it recently at a competition. Check out the video. Try it on the mats. And let me know how you go…

These 3 rules of thumb for the loop choke have significantly made my attack better. If you understand them, not only will it give you better success with finishing the choke, but you’ll also start to see more opportunities for setting it up.

And also included are two setups for hitting the loop choke in kneeshield half guard. It’s ridiculous how often they work for me.

You know what though?

This rabbit hole goes even deeper.

In this quick little video of one of my classes, I discuss moving into an armbar from Back Control. Sometimes the rear naked choke is not working…there could be numerous reasons for this but having an alternative move in your back pocket for these type of situations is invaluable. Check it out as I discuss some of the finer details. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is not a common submission. But it’s not hard either. And it’s a little bit tricky. So can catch your training partner off guard. I am sure you will get submission success with this on the mat. Watch the video and give it a try on the mat…and let me know how it works out…

The north-south position is very common in Jiu Jitsu. Certainly it is in my academy! But the counter to it is far easier than people tend to think. What’s even better about this escape is that you can land directly into a triangle. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes.

I have had a lot of questions on the cross face. In this video, I go into some detail about the cross face, how to execute it and the little details that can make it incredibly effective. Check out the video. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go…

It’s a great submission and it much easier than many think. It takes a little thought and some attention to some details but when done properly it’s a guaranteed tap! Watch the video as I discuss those details. Try it on the mat and let me know how it goes.

Another really easy practice – this time to massively improve the power of both your Kimura and Footlocks. You won’t believe the improvements that will be made. And all it takes is practice and as with the choke practice, you can do this effortlessly while watching TV and the 100 or 1,000 reps you need to make your techniques unstoppable. Try it. Practice it. And let me know how it goes on the mat.
