Who is ready to see @garrytonon back in the @onechampionship cage?🥋🥊

Turtle and front head lock escapes are on sale😎. Normally you can’t do near side shoulder rolls when your opponent has control over your upper body with a claw grip because they can pull you into their lap and end up chest to back pretty easily. One of the exceptions to this is when you control above the near elbow and roll. This will put you in a finishing position where your head is higher than theirs, usually putting you in 1 top position or another. Notice how I hook elbow to elbow on his right elbow Claw grip before rolling.

Who wants a body lock specific study ?

Over the last year or so I’ve developed not only a completely new passing system but a new mindset when it comes to guard passing. I’ll be back In Boston soon to start filming passing 2.0, which will be released sometime in late 2022. It will be as or more revolutionary than my 1st passing series and completely change your outlook on how to approach the guard.

Seated guard is half off still 😉

My pin escapes instructional is dropping in the next few months. @trab_bjj gets the 1st copy 😂

Black Friday sale is still pumping 😃

Get a pull back reaction and follow them up

Upper body/lower body combinations. Here, you see me start on the underhook side with a top side body triangle. I attempt to use a hand assist to unravel the triangle but it proves difficult. I decide to convert to the overhook side instead to start working from overhook side with a top side triangle (he switched the triangle). Once switching sides, I use a combination of upper and lower body escaping (elbow cuts and hand assists) to both unravel the triangle and wedge my elbow between myself and him, effectively escaping the back and forcing mount. @flograppling

Ashi waza/te waza combinations. Here with my boy @phillyfreshufc, we see an initial double kouchi that initially gets a backwards reaction and forces a staggered stance. Once the lead leg is exposed it’s easy to then catch it with an outside ankle pick. The outside ankle pick (in our sport due to the lack of shoes) is most effective when converted to a 2 on 1 to avoid kick outs. Once a 2 on 1 is established is is a pretty easy thing to follow your partner up into take downs or pull them back into ashi garami (2017 adcc vs cyborg). Which one you choose will be contingent upon whether they run away or push back into you. @flograppling @komainuapparel
