My thoughts on this common topic
“When i was a blue belt, i asked Royce how to escape the triangle. He said don’t get triangled. Just like the meme says. Pissed me off. Then many years later i realized he was right.
Greg and Spenser taught the stack pass all the time. We learned it and practiced it, but i was always looking for a different answer. Then the seminar that i got my brown belt Royce taught the stack pass. Challenged anyone in the room to triangle him.
That was the day i decided that i had to get good at it!”

I’m not saying not to learn advanced techniques or don’t prepare for contingencies (“what if”s).
But, if you master solid foundations and basic principles then that solves most of the problems you’ll encounter.
A good example is in last night’s class, I told my students that if they keep their hands up and elbows in then that will solves 90% of your problems.
You don’t have to learn how to defend all the headlock variations if your hands are already in a position to intercept the headlock attempt.
In December, I traveled to Mirco Wendt’s Academy, Monkey Gym Schwerte, to teach a 2 Day Seminar for just the Academy Students.
It was on Pressure & Control: two aspects of grappling and fighting that I feel are not really focused on or understood anymore.
This is how Mirco described it after:
Roy emphasized Jiu Jitsu is the art of control and not the art of Submission.
One of the main tools for control is pressure, so Roy covered the fundamentals for that kind of game, like proper weight placement, body misalignment, air restriction and more…
We were all amazed cause we we had never experienced that kind of pressure before. Great thing about that approach is, the top game player almost never used lots of strength or grips, instead it was absolute effortless to control the bottom person with correct alignment of the own body, misalignment of the opponents body and weight distribution.
What I as a plus 40 year old bjj hobbyist love about that kind of game is, you can play it as young gun, but also as a matured grappler over 40/50, because it doesn’t depend on attributes like strength or flexibility: everybody can do it.
Perfectly in relation to sustainability and longevity, great for self defense, competition or mma.
And, in a personal Message, he told me the immediate success he had with what he learned:
“Hey mate. We played with the “Pressure” game… it is so fantastic.
We rolled for control and I tapped the guys only with pressure and control and without Submissions ?
This happened never before although I am training for almost 10 years now. Thanks a lot for all the gold nuggets.
We really could up our games again after your seminar”
Contact me if you wish to schedule a seminar with me.
I will be putting these details and concepts and techniques and many more into my upcoming Pressure and Control DVD going soon

Defnding someone trying to tackle you to the ground is a core Self Defense requirement.
Here, I cover some details that will help immensely in stopping the person putting you on the ground and even helping you be able to get to a string finishing position.

In my experience, a lot of people don’t really focus on these critical details in trying to sweep their opponent from the butterfly guard.
Because of this they’re not doing the sweep as effectively as they could and are therefore forced to transition to other positions.
Here, I discuss what angles to attack (and why) as well as how to break posture and why.

Just some videos of me rolling with my Assistant, Erkan Mete.
There’s times to get after it and there are times to play and explore.
Ich plane, mehr Seminare zu machen. Wenn du daran interessiert bist, mich für eine Person zu hosten, kontaktiere mich bitte unter roymarshjiujitsu@gmail.com.
Ich habe dieses Video zusammengestellt, um die Reaktionen und das Feedback auf frühere Seminare von mir zu zeigen. Was meine Seminare und meinen Unterricht in der Regel von vielen unterscheidet, ist, dass ich mich stark darauf konzentriere, ein tieferes konzeptionelles und detailliertes Verständnis der Kunst zu vermitteln, damit der Student das, was ich lehre, behalten und anpassen kann.
Meiner Erfahrung nach ist dies viel vorteilhafter, als einen Haufen cooler Bewegungen zu unterrichten, die die Schüler vergessen, sobald sie aus der Tür gehen.
Du kannst mich auch auf Facebook und Instagram als RoyMarshJiujitsu finden.

I’m planning to begin doing more seminars. If you’re interested in hosting me for one, please contact me at roymarshjiujitsu@gmail.com.
I put together this video to show the responses and feedback to past seminars of mine. What generally separates my seminars and teaching from many is that I have a strong focus on giving a deeper conceptual and detailed understanding of the Art so that the student can retain and adapt what I teach.
In my experience this is far more beneficial than teaching a bunch of cool moves that students forget as soon as they walk out the door.

People new to BJJ are often nervous about training with upper ranks because they feel like they are wasting the Upper Belt’s time.
Alternatively, Some people have the false belief that in order to be the best they have to train exclusively with the best, highest ranked people. I discuss why I believe both ideas are flawed.

I asked one of my students about some his Ezekiel Set Ups. Because he can’t use his legs, he’s become dangerous from “bad” positions.
And, the Ezekiel Choke is one of his sneakiest, most useful weapons.
I asked him to show me a few of his set ups.
Here he shows a cool set up from the bottom of side control.

I try not to base my Jiu-Jitsu around flexibility, strength or trick moves. But, it never hurts to have a few surprises in your bag.
This is a sweep I catch more often than I should.
