This is a quick video of me rolling with a few of my students. It was fun and thought it would be nice to share. I always allow my competitor students to get more rolling in with me after class and by the end of rolling with them once or twice back to back no rest with fresh guys, I am spent!
Why do you do BJJ? what is the reason that you spend so much time on the mats? what do you want out of it? I discuss this topic in detail in this quick little video.

Is BJJ Enough for SELF DEFENCE or MMA? This is a topic that is raised a lot in our sport. In this video, I provide some of my thoughts.
Being stacked when executing an armbar is extremely common. But the counter is incredibly easy and very effective. Just a few little tricks and you will be countering the ‘stack’ – every time! Check out the video and try it out on the mat. Let me know how it goes…
We did a video recently with the starting ‘from knees’ position. The technique works just as well from a throw. You can set it up so that you are thrown but end the match quickly with an armbar. It works. A student of mine did it recently at a competition. Check out the video. Try it on the mats. And let me know how you go…
In this quick little video of one of my classes, I discuss moving into an armbar from Back Control. Sometimes the rear naked choke is not working…there could be numerous reasons for this but having an alternative move in your back pocket for these type of situations is invaluable. Check it out as I discuss some of the finer details. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go…

We have just completed a quick triangle series and I thought it would be good to cover in detail the inverted triangle. This has been used in competition by my students to great success. It is much easier than you think, just follow some of the simple steps that I discuss in this video and you will be doing them too…easy! Watch the video. Try it on the mat. And let me know how it goes…
The cross choke is an incredibly effective submission and is used often and effectively in our academy. But you can escape them. With just a few tricks and techniques. Watch this video and I will show you how. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.
This is such an excellent pass. It is so simple and only requires a few little tips to the execution. The success rate is very high and I use it often on the mat. So do many of my students. Give it a try yourself and let me know how you go.
In Jiu-Jitsu we often start from our Knees. But this technique works from the knees or from standing. Does not matter. Get the throw, if it doesn’t work…move straight into an Armbar. It’s incredibly effective and can end the roll/match within seconds. A couple of my students did exactly that in a recent competition. Check out the video and try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how you go.
This is not a common submission. But it’s not hard either. And it’s a little bit tricky. So can catch your training partner off guard. I am sure you will get submission success with this on the mat. Watch the video and give it a try on the mat…and let me know how it works out…
Check out a technique created for Felipe Pena called Pena choke. Very efficient way to surprise your opponent with your lapel and get the submission!
The north-south position is very common in Jiu Jitsu. Certainly it is in my academy! But the counter to it is far easier than people tend to think. What’s even better about this escape is that you can land directly into a triangle. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes.
