I have been getting this question a lot on the channel. It is a common problem when trying to figure out the triangle.

Once you learn this concept you will hit many more triangles. most people think you have to have the perfect lock in but thats not the case.

It is all about the angle you are creating, As long as you are curving your legs towards the mat and pinching your knees you can still get the finish.

This Armbar Setup is so simple yet so effective. The reason being is it’s unexpected and is so easy to do you are just relying on the person reaching past your center line than attacking.

Having longer limbs I am able to create a ton of momentum with my legs. You can still do this if you are shorter but it’s just easier with long legs.

I started going under the legs all the time to finish because when I set the Armbar up like this I would almost stack the person on top of Me or I was in a position where I was already being stack like the can opener. Than I would have to figure out how to get out from under my opponent.

So what I would start doing is going under and mixing it with the Armbar sweep where you hook the leg and kick down towards the floor. One of them will work and I stay on the arm until it does.

When I was first started doing tournaments I had a really good closed guard game but my open guard really sucked. My instructor (also a lanky grappler) told me to start using the de La Riva years later I realized he was teaching me to use my length against people and the de La Riva is great for grapplers with longer limbs.

You can still use this as a shorter grappler but it is much easier to tangle people up and maneuver around with longer legs.

Today’s drill is simple when you get to this position people are going to try and pass by shoving your leg down. Simply cross your feet like you are in guard keep your legs tight and take them to the side. Worst comes to worse they don’t square back up so you go back to closed guard or attack some submissions. If they do square up it makes for an easy sweep by going the opposite way and using their momentum.

You can use a cross collar grip or sleeve grip from this position but I usually always control the ankle to stop them from moving to fast.

First off thanks to Steven and Preston for coming out! They are both in the army and came by to visit the gym and a friend in town(Tony) Rob told them they could fill his spot for the day. Moral of story in the beginning never buy a belt earn that Sh*t. One thing I hate seeing the most is this or even an instructor promoting because of money. Enjoy the journey don’t be rushed with promotions?

This question was sent to me on Instagram. Here is the simple solution to the higher belts hitting you with this choke. On thing to note as well is the tighter your arm are in the less likely they will be to go for this choke. Always try and fighting to get out of the turtle.

But I have done this escape plenty of times and the way I actually found this out was in a competition. I was really tired did a lazy shot and the guy tried this choke on me. I grabbed the elbow and walked around like I was doing a double leg takedown.

Next episode will be something for all my lanky followers out there stay tuned!

The D-Ball (Dead Ball) Clean is a variation on the Power Clean.
Using the D-ball allows for working on grip, power, and explosiveness, which are all great for BJJ and is easier to learn than the power clean.

The D-Ball (Dead Ball) Clean is an exercise I was taught by Grindhouse Crossfit head coach Joe Clark. He is a a Crossfit coach, powerlifter, and expert in strength and conditioning. Joe helped me out with instruction and technique with using a D-ball to show how this variation will help BJJ practitioners get that extra edge in training and competition.

Building strength, power, expolisveness, and cardiovascular endurance will be the difference when competing against an opponent with the same or similar skill level as you. Also, strength and conditioning is a critical portion of being healthy and injury-free.

Big thanks to Tony for helping out while rob is away doing things for the army Tony is a retired vet. And has had to re learn how to walk two times. He is built of steal and still training?

The cross face is crucial to add into your arsenal. It is a great tool to flatten someone out. The battle of half guard is ether standing out of the half guard to try and pass or staying low and trying to flatten out your opponent. If they are flat it makes it hard for them to move their body and attack.

I’ve been playing around with the second technique where I go across the throat and it has been working really well for me. A lot of times it leads me to taking the back. You’ll see this series when you try it out. I don’t try this every single time like I said just when the opportunity presents itself

I love the flower sweep. Cool thing about this sweep is I learned it the week of that tournament I just showed you. Not only did I hit it once I hit it 4 times that day!

I was thinking wow this thing really does work haha their are different grips you can use for this sweep as you’ll notice in the first part of the video. You can use and over hook grip like I did in the tournament or you can simply control the wrist. You are just trying to stop them from posting out and blocking the sweep.

I use this still anytime I feel someone starting to stand and it will keep them to where they have to pass low and play my game.

I learned this sweep as a white belt and have been using it ever since. It works really well with off balancing a bigger opponent.

Sometimes you will see me just sit guard and try this on bigger opponent so I save my back from trying to wrestle them. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

This is a cool leglock set up! I’m not sure on the name so myself and some of my students called it the scissor me timbers lock lol if you know the actual name I’d love to know!

It Sucks being caught with this because you feel helpless haha try and hit it on your training partners!

I use to love the spider guard! I used it for years until my fingers got too messed up haha it is a great position for someone with a strong grip.

Spider guard is great for grapplers With long limbs because you can easily stretch your opponent out and get the submission or a sweep. Shorter grapplers can also use this position to keep bigger opponents from smashing them down.

The Psoas muscle is usually tight and tender in most people. Jiu-Jitsu practitioners are no exception since we focus on keeping our hips up and in to prevent guard passing. Releasing this painful, tight, and tender muscle can be a challenge, but this technique is relaxing and easy to do. Not to mention that tight psoas muscles can be a contributor to low back pain, which is another common issue with BJJ players. Try this technique out, you will have looser hips and less pain.
