A STANDING Throw with an ARMBAR FINISH!

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…
From Back Control right into an ARMBAR!
In this quick little video of one of my classes, I discuss moving into an armbar from Back Control.

Check it out as I discuss some of the finer details. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go…

What You NEED to Know to WIN a STREET FIGHT – the Basics!
This video discusses in some detail how to bring your Jiu-Jitsu into a street fight in some basic moves. They are not difficult but they are certainly effective…particularly against an unskilled opponent.
Starting from knees: TAKEDOWN/ARMBAR combo!
In Jiu-Jitsu we often start from our Knees. But this technique works from the knees or from standing. Does not matter. Get the throw, if it doesn’t work…move straight into an Armbar. It’s incredibly effective and can end the roll/match within seconds. A couple of my students did exactly that in a recent competition. Check out the video and try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how you go.
