I’ve posted a couple of videos where I use the Leg Lasso technique. It is really powerful and fun! When done the correct way…it’s close to unstoppable. I’ve been asked by my students and The Grappling Academy subscribers to show more. So here goes. 4 Leg Lasso Techniques done real fast. Watch. Enjoy. And give it a try on the mat.

Now your opponent is doing all the right things. They are countering your cutting armbar technique the most effective way possible. But that is fine, that just opens them up for a sweep and guess what. You hold on to the arm – you still have the option to go for the cutting armbar again. Or a straight armbar. Or a number of other submissions. I hope you like this video and have enjoyed the cutting armbar series. If you have any questions please ask. In the meantime, give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go.

Continuing on with the Overhook x-guard series…we now look at a very basic sweep from this position. It might be basic but is sure is effective. Quick to execute against your opponent and opens up many submission opportunities. This is a taster and I think you will like it. Take a look. Try it on the mat. And let me know what you think.

The AWESOME LEG LASSO Into LEG BAR Entrance…we looked at something similar recently – the lasso into catapult sweep, which is one of my favorites. If you have the time take a look at that video. This one uses a similar process but moves into a leg bar. Which is a brilliant submission and really hard to stop. It’s actually much easier than it might sound. Take a look at the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go!

Is there a position you can get into where when you are being crushed…you can be safe (relatively), regain your breath and wait for a (very likely) opening for you to regain control? well, the Pillow Defence might be such a position. And therefore a must for anyone’s game. Check out this video. It is super easy to execute. Try it on the mat and let me know how it goes…

We recently discussed the pendulum sweep moving into a triangle. Here we talk about moving it straight into an armbar. There are some tricks to this move that I discuss in some detail. Watch the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go!

One of my favourites passes. And a pass that is taught very early on to my white belts. This video teaches some very basics with some simple ideas to be aware of so you can execute this effectively. Done correctly this can become a mainstay of your Jiu Jitsu guard passing game. Check out the video, try it on the mat and let me know how you go…

This is one of my favorite sweeps – The Leg LASSO CATAPULT Sweep! Why? because it also involves one of my favorite guards the spider guard. With a few tweaks, you can grab a sweep that is very difficult to defend and enormously effective. Watch this video, try it out on the mat and let me know how you go….

The final in the series. Here we concentrate a lot on kill zones. Reward is there for those that spend the time. Check it out and let me know what you think…

This series of heelhooks is really starting to get into some great detail. As mentioned before, there is great reward for careful viewing. You will not be unhappy for taking the time. Heelhooks are increasingly important in a grappler arsenal. You need to know how to execute them and defend them. Check this video out and let me know what you think…

My good friend, super BJJ athlete, and rising star Prof Mark Knudsen gives a quick demonstration of a brilliant technique…A pendulum sweep – straight into a Reverse Triangle. Check it out. I know you will love it. Try it on the mat and let me know how you go.

The north-south position is very common in Jiu Jitsu. Certainly it is in my academy! But the counter to it is far easier than people tend to think. What’s even better about this escape is that you can land directly into a triangle. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes.

Another really easy practice – this time to massively improve the power of both your Kimura and Footlocks. You won’t believe the improvements that will be made. And all it takes is practice and as with the choke practice, you can do this effortlessly while watching TV and the 100 or 1,000 reps you need to make your techniques unstoppable. Try it. Practice it. And let me know how it goes on the mat.

This came up because Marcio Andre finished this move in a tournament. I will talk about his finish, and show my favorite NO-arm triangle.
