In class, we recently covered some basics of wrestling up from the guard.

Continuing on with that theme, we will be focusing on escaping from different bottom positions into “Dogfight/Waist Riding” positions and how to fight from there.

But, first, you have to understand the timeline and mechanics of the various ways to accomplish these goals.

So, I begin with an introduction to our options from bottom side control, what our goals are and the mechanics of one of the ways to turn over (a way I see people often poorly utilise).

Lee King is one of my first students and the current Head Instructor of Hold Fast Jiu-Jitsu in Southern Pines, N.C.

He began training with me in 2007 and I awarded him his Blue, Purple, and Brown Belts before I moved to Germany.

When I left for Germany, I turned my School in North Carolina over to him as I felt he was a complete Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner, a fantastic instructor and has the right mindset to run a successful program.

Recently, he was awarded his Black Belt.

So, during my visit home I asked to sit down with him and get his thoughts on our Art and his experiences in it.

If you are ever in North Carolina, I highly recommend visiting Lee and Hold Fast Jiu-Jitsu.

You can also follow him on Social Medias.

This was from a series I was doing in my No Gi Classes on my Front Headlock System.

It was a small class (Vacation time) so I decided to show one of my most used techniques as a reward to those that showed up.

*The first part of the video was a clarification on some points from the last technique I taught.

If you play with Guillotines from the Guard, you’ll know that one of the most common counters is for your opponent to pass to the “Safe Side.”

If you Try to keep the Guillotine it is very very difficult to finish the choke and you open yourself up to counter attacks.

But, there is a way to not only keep it but use it to advance your position.

Why do you train Jiu-Jitsu:

Students at some schools: “to get in shape both physically and spiritually. To improve my life and allow me an avenue of growth.”

Students at other schools: “I just want to put on some sweet spats and flow, brah. Just play the game and pull some killer moves with my Jitz.”

Then, there are my students: ….

Of course, we’re not claiming that Verena “invented” this move. But, it was just something she came up with in the middle of our roll and so I decided to call it the “Verena.”

I often get messages from older BJJ Practitioners telling me they’re thinking about quitting because they can’t keep up with younger more athletic teammates.

In my opinion, it’s because they are learning the wrong kind of BJJ. Here I cover how you should train to still be competitive and effective when you roll.

Mirco Wendt (Owner and Head Instructor of the Roy Marsh Jiu-Jitsu Affiliate in Schwerte, NRW) teaches a great way to handle one of the most difficult problems in BJJ: opening and passing the Closed Guard.

If you want to learn Complete Jiu-Jitsu from a highly-technical instructor and in a great, friendly atmosphere check out Brazilian jiu-jitsu Schwerte (On Facebook).

There is a very important distinction between BJJ for Sport and BJJ for Self-Defense/Fighting.

It’s not so much about techniques but about the distances you fight from and the postures you use.

These have to be trained because if your instinct is to adopt the wrong posture or distance versus a powerful striker you may not have time to correct your mistake once you start taking damage.

In this video, I teach how to pass guard vs someone trying to kick at you. The posture and positioning are almost the exact opposite of a Sport situation as the threat presented is almost the exact opposite (the guard player trying to to strike to make distance as opposed to trying to entangle the passer in order to grapple).

I don’t emphasise it enough in this video but I do later in class – you need to really focus on keeping the lead knee very bent forward to stop kicks to the knee hyperextending the leg).

I am working on a number of Video Instructionals – the biggest of which will be a full exploration of my Pressure and Control Game.

In the meantime, I am shooting shorter videos on Pressure for my Patreon members.

In this video, I covered some aspects of what some call the “Roy Mount.”

But, the person hating this al the most is Erkan.
