Today, I’m going to share a butterfly guard variation with the intent to attack the back. At the beginning of the video, there is a clip of me executing the move at the finals of the 2014 IBJJF World Championship Master 2 Featherweight; unfortunately, I needed one more second to receive an advantage and win the match; however, this video is about how to apply the technique. I hope you enjoy!

This Clip is part of the closed guard brabo choke series available on the site https://www.gdjjonline.com. When you are in the process of switching hands, your opponent may duck under to prevent the grip exchange. This loop choke is a good option to counter the defense.

Have you ever felt pressured to win a tournament that you ended up not performing the way you usually train at the school? If so, what was the reason?

Were you afraid to disappoint others? Sponsors? Were you afraid that people would look down on you? Whatever the issue might have been, your job is to find the source of the problem and deal with it.

Today I’m going to share with you a mental tip that has helped me and thousands of others competitors, and I believe it can also help you, not only to improve your competition mindset becoming more rational about your performance at the tournament, but it can help you in your personal and professional life as well.

These concepts, fundamentals and techniques helped me, and I believe this program can help others too.” stated The BJJ Mental Coach, Gustavo Dantas

(Legendas em breve) What’s up everyone, this is VLOG #4. In the last two videos, I shared with you two concepts: VLOG #2 “Positional Awareness” & VLOG #3 “The Window Concept”, and on this VLOG I’m going to introduce the concept that I call “PLAY JIU-JITSU LIKE A QUARTERBACK”. In this video all three concepts will connect to each other and you will have some more clarity about how to build your own custom made playbook of systems and positions.

Please “LIKE” the video and share with people who you feel that could benefit from this information. Enjoy!
