No doubt about it, the torreando is one of the most effective passes in jiu jitsu.
But, if it’s soooo effective, why does it gas you out so much?
The truth is, more and more guard players are getting wise to shutting down the torreando, forcing you to work double-time to finish it…
… and it’s not like these defenses are any kind of secret. They’re basically natural reactions to your movements.
That’s right, the blue belt you easily crushed one day, can easily become the blue belt who frustrates you in front of the whole class the next.
But it’s ok, we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to apply more strength and power to finish the pass.
Click play on the video above, and learn why the torreando you’ve been shown in the past simply doesn’t work anymore and exactly what you need to do to fix it.

There are two common problems when it comes to Omoplatas.

1. Entering can be impossible if your opponent keeps their elbow glued to their knee
2. Finishing can be frustrating if they start rolling around with some Sonic the Hedgehog spazzy sh*t

Get ready for all of that to change.

In this video, Keenan demonstrates a super easy and effective way to straighten your opponent’s arm, no matter how tight they keep their elbow to their knee.

And…

A unique variation on leg positioning that will take you from omoplata to armbar to having your hands raised in no time.

Worm wrestling is all about FEAR. Speaking of fear, I would be afraid to death to miss the last day of the Lapel Encyclopedia Anniversary SALE. Go to https://lapelguard.com and grab a discounted copy that comes with the Worm Wrestling Update (Chapter 14). The Encyclopedia goes on sale very rarely, so save the 32.4% NOW.

Worm wrestling is all about FEAR, manipulation and control. The knowledge from Chapter 14 of the Lapel Encyclopedia will infest your opponent’s mind, making them feel unsafe, insecure. When they are insecure they will make more mistakes, they will freeze, without even executing the feeble maneuvers they had planned.

That is a bold claim, so let me paint this picture for you. You are a smart person, you invested in the Encyclopedia. You had 3 chapters teach you the concepts, 2 were about passing and submissions and about 8 were about playing guard… Now…

You’re rolling or competing and you tiger swipe the lapel away from your opponent, you grab it and you start doing your thing, twisting that piece of cloth and foam around your and their legs in unspeakable ways. Your opponent is no slouch, he/she recognizes what’s going on, knows that to push towards you means sure defeat as you’re quite nifty and ready with your lapel trickery.

That’s why your opponent lets fear take over and they start pushing against you, backing away, trying to make themselves small. They’re leaning back, posturing up, trying desperately to break your expert grips.

Then when they think they almost got away, your foot shoots out from the worm hole, they see a small opening and then… you’re on your knees. Oh god. They panic, they do a desperate sprawl, but it doesn’t work! You got to a wrestling position WITH the lapel. Now they’re getting pulled up, like a child rolling with an adult and the tornado starts. You’re off-balancing them, they’re jumping around until the ground comes closer. Bam. They’re on the ground. “F%$#! Ok, that was unexpected, he got on top, it’s just 2 points.” That thought jumps from one neuron to the other in 0.3 seconds and then it hits them! You STILL have the lapel grip and you’ve also flanked their guard. You worm wrestled them and then used the same lapel to get a devastating start for your passing sequences.

Now, your opponent’s anguish is complete. Fear infiltrated their head and even if they recover, the next time you grab their lapel… they will know how much they don’t know. But you knew what you have to learn. You chose knowledge over fear and that knowledge triumphs over fear and gets you… victory.

Only in the Lapel Encyclopedia, can you learn how to do this https://lapelguard.com

In this video we’ll take a stroll down memory lane and talk about how the lapel game has evolved to transcend the guard. How and why passing and wrestling got added to the system. It’s like a documentary, but actually interesting.

The Lapel Encyclopedia, the codification of all of Keenan’s Lapel knowledge is somewhat of a premium instructional. During this pandemic, which is especially difficult for the jiu jitsu sphere we’ve reduced the price by almost 110 dollars. You can grab it for $141.99 and study the lapel systems while you plot your return to the mats and cry yourself to sleep, damn I miss training so much.

What you will get is: 3 Chapters explaining the concepts, setups and escapes if things go wrong. 8 Chapters covering the lapel guards (worm, ringworm, squid, reverse de la worm, gubber, single leg x worm, belt guard…). 1 Chapter covering the lapel passing system that Keenan used to defeat Meregali at worlds. Yesterday we added another chapter on Worm wrestling, a series of 21 videos explaining how to turn sweeps or passivity into takedowns.

You will also get all future updates, a free app with downloadable videos, ebooks, custom playlists…
