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.

Is BJJ Enough for SELF DEFENCE or MMA? This is a topic that is raised a lot in our sport. In this video, I provide some of my thoughts.

We did a video recently with the starting ‘from knees’ position. The technique works just as well from a throw. You can set it up so that you are thrown but end the match quickly with an armbar. It works. A student of mine did it recently at a competition. Check out the video. Try it on the mats. And let me know how you go…

These 3 rules of thumb for the loop choke have significantly made my attack better. If you understand them, not only will it give you better success with finishing the choke, but you’ll also start to see more opportunities for setting it up.

And also included are two setups for hitting the loop choke in kneeshield half guard. It’s ridiculous how often they work for me.

You know what though?

This rabbit hole goes even deeper.

In this quick little video of one of my classes, I discuss moving into an armbar from Back Control. Sometimes the rear naked choke is not working…there could be numerous reasons for this but having an alternative move in your back pocket for these type of situations is invaluable. Check it out as I discuss some of the finer details. Try it out on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is an awesome takedown. In Jiu Jitsu, we tend not to practice takedowns as often as perhaps we should and we all know how competitions start. This Low Single is awesome for all shapes and sizes but I think where it really comes into its own is with smaller opponents taking down larger opponents. It’s incredibly effective. Watch this video and find out how. Try it on the mats and let me know how you g….
