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…
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….

The final in the series. Here we concentrate a lot on kill zones. Reward is there for those that spend the time. Check it out and let me know what you think…
The Fireman’s Carry is a popular throw, particularly in wrestling. This setup and follow up seems a little more accessible for me (a jiu-jitsu guy with novice wrestling), because of how tricky it is.
The setup involves faking (or actually reaching for) a high crotch or ankle pick, turning the opponent’s reaction into an opportunity for an arm drag, and using that arm drag to enter for the cross-side Fireman’s Carry.
To follow up the throw, I’m choosing a topside crossover transition when the opponent scrambles to face me. This gives a good route to the back take, especially when you use a Kimura grip to secure your connection to the opponent.
But mostly, this is just a damn fun technique series to drill. Enjoy!

The single leg takedown is a great takedown technqiue and maybe the most used in grappling. But there are a number of great counters and this particular one places you into a fantastic kill position. I use it often and my students have used it, with positive results, in competitions. Take a look and give it a try. Let me know how it goes.
