Our friend Laura asked about strategies from starting a roll from the knees in jiu-jitsu. The reality is, this position only exists in training, and it just a way of starting an open roll on the ground. We discuss some training strategies and the different types of sparring for specific skill development for BJJ.

We would love to hear from you. What do you normally do when starting from the knees?

A few years ago we showed a defense to the Donald Trump handshake. Someone asked us to show how to defend the Joe Biden hair sniff. This is an old self defense technique that is specifically designed for a 2 handed neck grab from behind that will do the job.

In this video we discuss the importance of understanding neck cranks and how to defend them. In modern jiu-jitsu it’s almost a lost art, until you run up against who knows how to use them, then you may be in trouble unless you practice them and prepare to defend them.
