What’s up guys,

Today I’m going to show you a really simple counter to the traditional straight Ankle Lock from Single Leg X/Ashi.

Quick story,

I got this technique from a guy who was training at the gym, a Jiu-Jitsu Brown or Black Belt at the time, Clay, and while we were rolling, I attacked a Single Leg X Ankle Lock.

He then proceeded to submit me with this counter. Ever Since then, I’ve used it a ton in training BJJ.

Hopefully, if you like leg locks for Jiu-Jitsu, then you enjoyed this video and found the technique helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Today we’ve got a question from a Jiu-Jitsu Coach (Assistant Coach) who recently had a brand-new White Belt come into class to try out BJJ. Here’s the kicker though…

The new student is 71 years old!

This guy has minimal mobility with his body and has bad knees that soon need replacement, so the Assistant Coach spent a good amount of time trying to analyze what the older gentleman could and could not do.

During the training, he has the older gentleman doing solo movements. After the class, he talked to other coaches and asked what they thought he should do to help.

They suggested that he help the older student find a specialist and should stop working with him.

But the older guy continues to come in and wants to train, and so the Assistant coach wants to take on the challenge of an advanced-age student.

He wonders if I have any advice for this particular situation.

Here’s what I think…

If you struggle with side control escapes, I’m going to teach you a movement I like to use when I get stuck on bottom side control in Jiu-Jitsu.

This is a movement that I’ve shown countless times at my Jiu-Jitsu gym, but I’m not sure I’ve taught it here on YouTube.

This will help you get out of really tight side control positions.

This is also the return of Adam!

Today we’ve got a question from Joe who is wondering what BJJ Black Belts/Jiu-Jitsu Instructors watch for when looking at students rolling.

He says that his gym is like most where they do a basic warm-up, drill techniques, then do live rounds.

He says that there are so many times that he wants to work on something new, but he’s scared that this might make him look bad Infront of his coach: because with most new techniques you try, you suck at them initially.

He doesn’t want his coach to think “Damn, he’s not improving and he’s not ready for advancement”

Joe, it would be helpful if you talked to your coach for clarification, but here’s how I view my students’ rolls…

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching!

Today we’ve got a question from Sid who’s has the “Curse of the Guard Player” in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He says his sweeps, submission, etc, all of his guard stuff, is coming together nicely, but he is running into one huge problem…

He can be very offensive off his back, but anytime he gets on top of someone, say he sweeps them, but he can’t hold them on the ground to save his life.

His BJJ coaches tell him he needs to develop his top game more.

He sends in the message, asking if I have any advice for him to improve his top game for Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks for the question!

I’ll give you a comparison between wrestlers/judoka and bottom players. I’ll explain how both sides of the coin have issues developing the style of the other, and more.

I’ll also address how I’d approach fixing either situation.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

7 Reason Your Side Control Escapes Suck for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

What’s up guys, lots of you guys are having problems with side control escapes, and as a follow-up to my “Why your Guard Retention Sucks” video, I thought we’d add side control escapes for BJJ to the mix.

Hopefully, if you were struggling to escape side control, then you found this video helpful.

What’s up guys,

So today we’ve got a question from an Ultra Heavyweight Jiu-Jitsu competitor by the name of Dan.

He’s also a Blue Belt who feels very stuck in his Jiu-Jitsu training.

He rarely feels threatened by the White Belts but finds himself getting Wrecked by the other Blue Belts & Purple Belts. This is clearly very frustrating for him.

He’s wondering how he can start to close the gap with some of the mid to higher belts.’

In the video, I’ll talk about how this is the perfect thing to happen now. Blue Belt is one of the belt levels where you’ll have a chance to learn the fastest for many reasons that I’ll go through in this video.

Hopefully, you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching.
