In this video I show a relationship between the legs that I’ve found a lot of use in. From time to time I like to use the Rolling Back Attack or the Twister Roll set up. This is similar in concept but totally different in execution.

I’ve really been enjoying laying on the legs specifically. This video doesnt do the position justice in my opinion because the majority of my weight is put onto the legs in very controlling manner. If your opponent/partner is waiting for the front roll to come they will be surprised when you slowly and methodically move your hips away with that pant control. My experience with this move has been pretty fantastic.

With that being said, when I attempted to show this to some of my students some of them got it immediately, while others really struggled with the relationship of the legs.

The power is in the spacing of the leg. This means that you can make the space by moving your hips back rather than kicking them away with the leg. If your partner/opponent is feeling to tight to your hips and there is no pocket for them to fall then you need to focus on moving your hips away rather than kicking with the leg (although there will still be tension on the leg).

Lastly, the hooking and binding feature on the leg only becomes available when they are partially broken down. This means that you will have to use that pant grip to help pull them partially over. You should feel your foot lock into place extremely securely while only using one leg. This gives you an extra leg to help continue to break them down. When done correctly it has some aspects that feel very much like the Lock Down position with the legs but you’ll only be using the one leg.

In this video I show a variation the Cross Collar Choke with the arms being completely straight. There are a lot of different ways to do a cross collar choke, and I personally use a lot of different methods. This is one of my favorite ways to do the Cross Collar Choke as it doesnt burn my grips and it’s highly effective.

Notice the head placement on the mat. Correct basing on the hairline is extremely important, both for safety AND effectiveness. This will take some getting used to as we have been conditioned to maintain weight on our butt in mount rather than our hips and abdominal muscles.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

In this video I show an aggressive flop pass. This is a very competitive pass that pairs well with a lot of other open guard passes. It takes some practice with the timing and the pathway for the legs but once you have drilled it, this pass is highly effective.

One of the things that I had to stress during the class is the pathway for the leg that is on the outside. This pass is NOT a Back Step or Long Step. If you do it this way (and it looks very similiar) then you will find that your opponent can turn their knees towards you and you may find yourself in guard a lot. Rather than it being a back step, make it about the pathway of the outside leg behind the knee behind the knee pit.

I included a short collection of my students practicing the movement and you will see that there are people of all belt rank practicing this and they all have various levels of hip movement. You should really strive to flair the hips but not in the backstep motion.

lastly, you will have to kill your own posture to be able to do this effectively. Notice that I lean my head forward and bring the trunk of my body parallel with the shin. This helps greatly and is not talked about in the video.

This is a very common pass to the Spider Guard. It is highly effective throughout all of the ranks if you can get standing on the thigh. Keep in mind, against an active Spider Guard Player that your timing and spatial control will have to be extremely well controlled in order to stand on the thigh. It is for that reason that I say this pass is a medium percentage pass. Not because it’s not good, but becuase it is common enough that most avid Spider Guard players are on the look out for this movement.

I point out in the video that you want to step on the bottom leg when it is straight. Throughout the week we had a lot of conversations about this bottom leg, and although I say the leg should be straight, it is ok to step on that leg at any time when you can get to it. Pinning it to the ground has a lot of power, especially when it comes to breaking the grip on the sleeve.

This move is best used in conjunction with the other passes. If you go to step on the thigh , and they pump their legs and move their hips away from the step it’s totally ok to combine this with the last pass that I posted. It will also work in conjunction with the future passes that I will post.

In this video I show a way to bail out when you’re a little over zealous with your Belt Row. The Belt Row can be a really powerful technique and against someone who has not seen the entry, it can be extremely easy to over estimate your opponent’s base.

With that being said, it’s not that bad of a thing for you, when you really launch your opponent. Just make sure that you practice the transition a few times as you will not have a lot of time to make the transition.

In this video I show a way to get a dominate overhook grip while controlling the outside arm. This was part of a series where we learned that far side wrist control can allow you some really great hip movement.

I first saw this technique on another youtube channel (trainfightwin) but I cant seem to find the guys name to give him credit.

I have a series that I use off of this grip and I rarely overhook unless I have this grip.

In this video I show a great variation for the Baseball Choke when someone blocks your hips and stops you from being able to rotate after you have obtained the grips.

Remember, when you roll it’s about collapsing that top elbow and masking sure to keep your elbows close together.

I do not normally advocate giving up top position to give up a choke, but I know plenty of people that would not hesitate to attempt this move and they have good results.

When you choose this move you’re making a decision to live and die by this choke!
