In this video we talk about the kesa-gatame. This is a very good control position and has a lot of possibilities for submissions.

While on a short vacation I was able to sneak away and see my friend Lane Andrews. Lane is the owner and head instructor at RMNU South Tampa https://southtampajiujitsu.com/ He shares one of my favorite series he does from the guard.

This basic self defense variation of armlock will improve your armlocks against skilled opponents if you drill it and set it up properly.

Recently we held a Breathing for Jiu-Jitsu and Ice Bath Experience seminar at our academy with Marty Josey and Aaron Sundstrom from the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Rocks Podcast. We discuss our thoughts about the seminar.

Most people at blue belt and above rely heavily on the elbow escape to escape the mount position. The majority only bump so they can make space, get to their side and perform the elbow escape. I used to suck at the bridge until I took my first seminar with Rickson Gracie. Some other details I picked up from Ryron Gracie on how to set it up properly and now it is my go to escape from the mount. The trap and roll puts you on top of the fight.Be on top if you can. Use the hip escape (shrimp crawl/elbow escape) to set up your trap and roll.

I’ve been working on this for a few years. It has slowly become my go to when they push the foot off the hip.

One of my favorite setups for the cross choke comes right from the knee cut guard pass.

I share how I thought I invented the baseball bat choke from the bottom. I had a lot of success with this move during my younger competitive years. I’m sure someone else had done the move before me but at least I can say I somewhat discovered it. Maybe you’ll like this variation.

Our discussion today is about a company that is selling pre-worn out black belts and mat cleanliness.

This is one of the most common chokes from the back. This defense has saved me many time.

A simple escape from the seatbelt control.

Continuing from our last video, this is a sneaky setup for the inverted triangle when your opponent is trying to pass the guard.

Guard retention drills for when someone is trying to stack pass you.
