Forget what you thought you knew about the history of BJJ!

There are a lot of people putting out books or writing on BJJ websites claiming to know the truth about the history of how our Art developed.

But, they always have a politicised agenda so you aren’t getting the truth but only their “truth.”

Roy and Erkan are unafraid to tell you the true history and one of the things that no one in BJJ will touch is how much Grandmaster Helio owes to Ip Man (whom he never credited).

Did he take Ip Man’s techniques and, if so, was it borrowing or outright thievery?

You decide.

Erkan and I have been reviewing the techniques for his Purple Belt Test. This is not an instructional Per Se as much as a quick reminder of the techniques so that Erkan can practice them.

The rest of the techniques will be on my Patreon.

This video covers one of the hardest passing positions to defend against – namely, when your opponent is in your half guard and switches their hips.

It becomes extremely difficult to keep their knee trapped at this point. It’s imperative that before they settle into that position, you address it.

Going to a half butterfly guard is my favourite option and one that is part of my Purple Belt Curriculum.

From this position, we can recover guard, sweep or take the back.

Escaping this particular side control is one many grapplers have great difficulty with.

Here, I cover one of my favourite ways to not only escape but also to deal with the pressure that can be applied from it. People often make the position much worse by making the weight unbearable for themselves.

In the last video, I covered what to do when your opponent passes to the safe side and you have an arm-in guillotine.

Now, I cover what to do in the more difficult case of when they have their arms free and pass to the same side.

I had some people ask me how I deal with people passing to the “Safe Side” when I go for Guillotine.

I’ve actually turned that safe side into an attack position for me.

In this video and some more to come, I cover what I do.

Here, I cover some basic concepts and options.

I’m working on a full Instructional on the Closed Guard which will incorporate the High Offset Guard but this video should help some I hope.

There are multiple ways to set up and attack submissions.
Often these break down into:
1. slower with maximum control and
2. faster with less control.

You have to decide if the situation is calling for prioritizing speed or control.

In this video, I cover a fast armlock from the Closed Guard.
