It has been awhile! It’s good to be back. I’ve been slammed this past month. Enough about me let’s talk about this technique!

Being on someone’s back was easily my weakest position up until 3 years ago. A fresh blue belt could escape my back control. I just never really worked to take the back. I always liked mount and side control and tried to finish there.

I realized how bad I sucked at the position one day when my coach had us start on the back the entire class because everyone is switching to ebi rules. Everyone was escaping my control easily. I realized wow I’m terrible at this I really need to work on it. Not gonna lie I was pretty hard on myself. I spent the entire car ride home listening to I wanna get better.

After realizing this I started making it a goal to take everyone’s back and keep it. I studied how people were escaping and drilled in my head ways that I could prevent them from escaping. I started using these three things and I was able to stop most people from escaping my control. Listing to eye of the tiger helped me tremendously.

After that I realized man I’m pretty good at holding the back but now I can’t finish anyone… and that’s a technique for another day. Enjoy the video and I will talk to you next time!🤙🏻

Here is my second match from the Las Vegas open that I recently found. I always enjoyed watching film of other people competing when I was coming up. so I wanted to post as many of my matches for you all as I can. I’m going back through some files to look for matches that have not been posted yet.

I like training both…But as I get older I do prefer the technical pace of the Gi. You can’t get away with as much speed / athleticism / etc… With the gi you also have far more moving parts: Gi / Sleeves / Lapels /etc. Plus with the Gi you have more options / danger related to chokes. Without the Gi you are a bit more limited with strangulations. The Gi also seems more relevant to real life. Most people where I live wear coats / shirts / pants. As much as I say this… I take off the gi and am like, “Wow I love No-Gi”. So I guess I love both for different reasons. Kind of like your own kids… What an amazing sport that we can even choose.

In this video I show a nice alternative to the No-gi baseball / HeadLopper grip. This one is pretty easy tp secure and finish. You don’t have to do the spin under move… BUT it’s easy to do and it really cinches the choke even tighter. Remember, the ‘body follows the head’… if you roll under they will follow… But the choke only gets tighter!
Happy Hunting!

It is a very common misconception that you cannot finish the triangle from the opposite side.

Here is why this technique works. By their hand being on the opposite side of the body and you locking your hands over top of your knee it will create enough pressure to get the tap.also by making a lock on your knee their hand cannot escape the position.

The Airplane exercise has been something I have incorporated into my training and has definitely been one of the exercises that has helped “unlock” and “wake up” my hips.

Performing exercises like this that are dynamic, engage the muscles, and work on control and balance are extremely beneficial.

If you are a BJJ practitioner, athlete, or if you have a job that requires you to sit a lot during the day this movement is a a very important exercise to incorporate.

Use it as a warm-up, recovery exercise, or even for you rehab of the legs.

I like 1-2 sets of 5-10 reps, but these numbers will change based on the goal I am trying to achieve.

Finding your flow. Movement Intelligence or what some call muscle memory. The moves have transcended logical thinking and have become automatic. You don’t think about how to physically catch a ball? You catch the ball. Your body has memorized the bio mechanical process no thought is necessary. If you want to enter the flow you have to drill the movements over and over… creating various road blocks and boundaries… but always from eagles view point to see the wider perspective when necessary. Trust in the process. But trust only comes when you’ve fully integrated the moves into your conscious and unconscious reality… stay open minded and available to new pathways and view points… your flow awaits you. Now find it. #BJJ #BJJAfter40

This technique makes you never want to open your guard up in no gi. It’s something to always be on the lookout for.

These times have been trying for everyone as we all navigate these uncharted waters. Life without Jiu-Jitsu is NOT easy for anyone. If you haven’t rolled in a few months you don’t know what you’re missing… I have been back rolling and oh man! Did I forget how much I missed it! It’s important that when the time is right you too get back on the mats! Jiu-Jitsu Misses YOU!

In this video I share my experiences teaching and training my own kids for over ten years. I discuss why they’ve stuck with it and lessons learned along the way!
