Over the last few years, I have won quite a few rolling backtake battles. All because of one reason. I understood the central micro battle in the transition, and that often led to opportunities to either reverse the backtake or at least kill the threat..

And you’ll learn that same lesson in this video.

#bjj #microbattles #rollingbacktake

Back when yours truly was a purple belt, I learned an overhook closed guard trap series from Jimmy Harbison. The attacks that flows from it were a mir lock, a kimura and a triangle, but the execution on the mir lock always eluded me.

I couldn’t hit it consistently.

But recently, I had a revelation, and the success shot through the roof.

You’ll discover it in this video.

Understanding the multitude of method for gripping in the underhook half guard is one of the lesser appreciated paths towards developing a strong offense from the position.

I’m out in Arizona right now teaching at the BJJ Globetrotters, and this is a small clip of something that was covered.

Unfortunately, though, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t dampen the noise in the post editing, so if you can still understand this, kudos to you.

Oh boy, this breaks a few rules when it comes to playing bottom half guard, but that head position makes a difference.

Don’t believe me?

Give it a try.

The ezekiel is one of my favorite attacks, and there are so many way to hit it. The back ezekiel, though, doesn’t get enough attention.

Many moons ago, I did on a video on how to pass the lockdown, but I feel that there are few details that can be added to it that will make it easier to use.

Thus, this video, where I revisit the topic.

Enjoy.

#bjj #lockdown #counters

Recently I was inspired by a video of Wim Deputter teaching what he calls the Koala at a BJJ Globetrotters camp, and since then I’ve been exploring all kinds of ways to lead opponents to their doom with it.

Here are a few.

And if you wish to see Wim’s video, go here:

I’ve hit this counter quite a few times in rolls, and it’s surprising how often the arm is in position during transitions.

So look for it.

And frustrate opponents left and right when they think victory is in sight.

There are kinds of ways to control the body in the traditional top finish position for the armbar. This little adjustment to the position, though, to a whole ‘nother level of savage pressure.

Give it a try.

Back finishes are high percentage.

At the highest levels, they work more often than not, and once someone gets to your back, staying safe is a true battle.

Here’s one method for improving your ability to survive and escape.

I remember learning this when I was a white belt, but over the years, I’ve picked up all kinds of small details that make it work oh so much better.

The sequence flows like this:

Hip Bump – Kimura – Guillotine

And when done right, it still works at high levels.
