Aussie Craig Jones made a name for himself at EBI 11 by reaching the semi-finals with impressive heel hook victories over EBI 2 Finalist Nathan Orchard and EBI 3 Semi-Finalist Darragh O’Conaill. In this video, Craig breaks down both of these submissions.

An easy mount escape – straight into a footlock. I love this as being mounted is a really tough spot to be in…and to turn that around into a tap is fantastically rewarding. The best news is that it can be done. I do it all the time and so do my students. Check out this video to see the details of the technique and then try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how it goes…

This is a simple concept but one I often see forgotten. Under the pressure of rolling or competition I’ve seen people do this…many times. But one you get caught in this footlock from crossing your feet from the back. You won’t do it again. It can also be turned into a powerful submission. Check it out, try it on the mat (carefully) and let me know how you go…

If someone were to ask me the pass that I use the most. The pass that I use at the highest level. Then this might just be the one. Not because it is tricky or hard. But because it is simple AND super effective. By the end of this video, you will be able to do it as well. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go.

What a great time and experience I am having Dallas. I get to learn with the legends in the sport. In this quick little video, the master – Prof John Machado…takes me over two ways to pass the half guard. Awesome thoughts and techniques from a legend.

You might remember my video on the Awesome Roger Machado American – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xscg5rfunbc

It’s such a brilliant technique. You might have also seen me use it a few times in my rolling with my students. It is incredibly effective and deceptively powerful. Don’t underestimate it.

And I’ve been super lucky to have the Legend – Prof Roger Machado himself talk over the technique for you guys. I hope you love it. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.

Frank Mir demonstrates a really interesting grip that he likes to use to complete the Guillotine! Check it out!

When I get caught in a half guard – no problem. I just change shape. And that usually solves much of the problem and enables me to get out and back in control. Not so with this awesome RCJ Blackbelt! Watch this little trick. Easy to do and very effective.
