An easy mount escape – straight into a footlock. I love this as being mounted is a really tough spot to be in…and to turn that around into a tap is fantastically rewarding. The best news is that it can be done. I do it all the time and so do my students. Check out this video to see the details of the technique and then try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how it goes…

This is a very simple choke that used to be or often was the first choke taught from back control. It is now often not taught until much later in a student’s Jiu Jitsu journey. Still, you can learn it very easily. Just watch this video and then give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

One of my favourites passes. And a pass that is taught very early on to my white belts. This video teaches some very basics with some simple ideas to be aware of so you can execute this effectively. Done correctly this can become a mainstay of your Jiu Jitsu guard passing game. Check out the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is a simple concept but one I often see forgotten. Under the pressure of rolling or competition I’ve seen people do this…many times. But one you get caught in this footlock from crossing your feet from the back. You won’t do it again. It can also be turned into a powerful submission. Check it out, try it on the mat (carefully) and let me know how you go…

This is one of my favorite sweeps – The Leg LASSO CATAPULT Sweep! Why? because it also involves one of my favorite guards the spider guard. With a few tweaks, you can grab a sweep that is very difficult to defend and enormously effective. Watch this video, try it out on the mat and let me know how you go….

This series of heelhooks is really starting to get into some great detail. As mentioned before, there is great reward for careful viewing. You will not be unhappy for taking the time. Heelhooks are increasingly important in a grappler arsenal. You need to know how to execute them and defend them. Check this video out and let me know what you think…

My good friend, super BJJ athlete, and rising star Prof Mark Knudsen gives a quick demonstration of a brilliant technique…A pendulum sweep – straight into a Reverse Triangle. Check it out. I know you will love it. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go.

What a great time and experience I am having Dallas. I get to learn with the legends in the sport. In this quick little video, the master – Prof John Machado…takes me over two ways to pass the half guard. Awesome thoughts and techniques from a legend.

You might remember my video on the Awesome Roger Machado American – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xscg5rfunbc

It’s such a brilliant technique. You might have also seen me use it a few times in my rolling with my students. It is incredibly effective and deceptively powerful. Don’t underestimate it.

And I’ve been super lucky to have the Legend – Prof Roger Machado himself talk over the technique for you guys. I hope you love it. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.
