There are multiple ways to set up and attack submissions.
Often these break down into:
1. slower with maximum control and
2. faster with less control.

You have to decide if the situation is calling for prioritizing speed or control.

In this video, I cover a fast armlock from the Closed Guard.

Here, I cover one of my favourite attacks from the High Offset Guard.

I go into some detail on eat reasons I use them so much as well as the mechanics on breaking the wrist posture, making the submission tighter and also how to deal with flexible wrists.

Something that I’ve been told many times now by BJJ students or instructors is that you should always be on what are called “Live Toes.”

Anytime I hear someone say “always” or “never” in BJJ, it tells me that they haven’t thought very deeply about what they’re doing and why.

I know why they’re told this – it’s because so much of modern BJJ is based on constant movement and being on your toes allows you to transition to a faster movement position but at the cost of control.

Here, I discuss the various foot positions and what the Pros and Cons of each are.

Iss yuuuge honor for me to have Erkan Mete with me to help show how to escape the front headlock position while standing.

A viewer had asked me to cover this

I don’t have a lot of videos of me competing and rolling because I was never interested in collecting it much. But, I do have some and I decided to go through them and use them as a tool to review how I do certain things.
In these videos, I will review how I use the guillotine.

It’s not just a submission for me, but a method of control, a way to sweep, takedown, and pass guard and even occasionally as a way to escape positions.

An important concept is not just the power of the guillotine/front headlock but also how the threat of it opens up so many other options for me (most obviously allowing me acmes to the body or forcing an opponent to pin themselves or abandon passes.

I haven’t done this before so the narration isn’t as in-depth as some might like but still I hope it helps.

My thoughts on this common topic

You have numerous control points when holding someone in side control.
This is important to understand.
Many people begin to lose side control and abandon the whole process and try to make a big desperation movement to a whole new position. This usually just turns into a scramble which only helps their opponent.
As I said you have multiple control points which means that when i lose one of them I can simply focus on another.
In this case, I control the head. When I lose that I control the elbow. When I lose that I control the leg.
In this scenario, all of these stop my opponent getting off their back and taking my back from the Kesa Gatame.
I’ll be going much more in-depth into these concepts and mechanics in my Pressure & Control DVD

Recently, various people sent me a video of a fight in what looked like military barracks.

In the video, one of the guys gets a guillotine and goes to the ground with it. in the ensuing grapple, the person getting guillotined manages to grab hold of the other person’s groin and begins to squeeze.

The person immediately lets go of the choke and begins to beg for mercy.

In this video, we discuss why this is a bad example of not adjusting your BJJ for real world scenarios and what are some steps the Guillotine should have done.

I tell my students all the time that your goal is to get to certain positions (I call them “Staging Areas” where you are as safe as possible while knowing all your options.

The goal in self defense is to avoid damage and get to these positions

The modified seatbelt is one such option with numerous takedown opportunities. Here, I transition from the seatbelt to another position which I consider very useful for military or police.

I also cover a couple simple takedowns from this position.

It can be especially difficult to escape side control when your opponent switches their arm position. You’re also in constant danger of a kimura attack.

This effectively stops the re-guard – and if they’re keeping weight on you, you may not be able to turn over for the single leg escape.

Here, I show an option for when you’re trapped in this position. As with most reversals, it’s important that you practice your timing and getting the feel for when their weight is compromised.
