One of the Best Ways to Drill the Back Escape
I’m going to share a chain drill with you that connects the back escape with a rolling back take.
There’s two techniques in the flow. So by the standards of chain drills, it’s a simple drill. And it also combines a basic technique with a more advanced one, which can make things a little more interesting.
Beyond this particular drill though, I want you to understand the power of chain drills, in…

Simple Cross Choke Offensive Sequence from Closed Guard
In Jiu-jitsu, there are several techniques that you’re likely to learn early on, no matter where you train. One of them is the cross choke from closed guard.
And it’s effective at all levels.
But there’s a problem. Almost everyone learns it. That increases the chance that the threat will be recognized and addressed early.
For that reason, some make the choice to focus their attention elsewhere…

Applications of Limb Control with an Uncommon Grip Combination
Within Jiu-jitsu, one-to-many relationships exist.
They’re specific concepts, movements, and grips that can be applied in more than one situation. And when you start to recognize them, it speeds up your learning process.
Today, I’m going to share three techniques that came from three different sources, but they all have a unifying element.
The grip and how it’s used is absolutely the same.

How You Can Improve Your Push Pull Triangle from Closed Guard

That’s what makes it great.
But no matter what the technique, or how simple it may seem, there is room for improvement. Small adjustments can made to improve the technique and make it work better.
And I’m going to give you some little tips on how you can improve this particular…

The Growth Minded Competitor's Contract
A grand challenge lies before me, and there is one person more than anyone else who will decide whether I succeed or not. At birth, we shared the same name. And even now, there is no one that I know better because that person is none other than ME.
From the point forward, I will take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY both for the effort I put forth and for the results I receive.
Any time the slightest…

Turtle guard has traditionally been used to prevent guard passes. But it’s still possible to transition there even if you’ve lost the battle to retain your guard, and once there, the turtle can bite.

Senegal Holds the Potential to Produce Jiu-jitsu Greatness
Over the past thirty years, Jiu-jitsu has spread across the globe, reaching places far and wide. The growth of the art has been extraordinary.
But has it reached its full potential?
No. Not even close. There are still so much of the world that has no idea that Jiu-jitsu exists. They have no idea of the benefit the art holds. And that is through no fault of their own. We have more work to do…

The Three Key Questions You Must Ask Yourself
Our purpose is IMPROVEMENT. Every day. 1%.
Right now, at this moment, it’s the third month of the year. By this time, most people have given up on the new year resolutions they set two months ago.
Those who succeed though, do something miraculous. They transform intention into action. One step turns another and then another and another after that. They incrementally work towards their goal. And…

Tornado Omoplata, Triangle and Armbar from Lasso Guard
Tornado Omoplata, Triangle and Armbar from Lasso Guard
One of things that many people have said to me over the years is that I shouldn’t be able to move the way I do.
The way I move is unexpected because of my size. And it all started with a desire to learn a cool technique when I was a white belt. I wanted to learn a specific series of techniques. I saw it, and I liked it. I wanted to do it, but I kept failing over and over again when I tried. It…

3 Effective Mount Escape Variations That Will Get You Out
3 Effective Mount Escape Variations That Will Get You Out
I remember being stuck under mount when I was a white belt. It was HORRIBLE.
That was especially true when it happened with certain people at Evolve, who will be left unnamed (to protect the guilty). They would utterly crush me there. And escape seemed so impossible at the time.
Against anyone good being stuck under mount is a place you don’t want to be, and that’s why it’s important to not only…

Getting on someone’s back in Jiu-jitsu is such a magical moment. Right then, you know you have control. They’re in YOUR world. They have to respond to what you do.
But there are few things worst than getting there only to lose it before you can capitalize on your advantage.

Taking a Step Back and Focusing on the Jiu-jitsu Fundamentals
Listen: I’m a conceptual learner, and one thing I realized early is that technique is formed from fusing concept and movement.
That seems like such a simple idea. In fact, you’re probably saying, “ahh, that’s obvious”. For me though, it was revolutionary. It changed how I thought about technique. And it had a significant effect on how I learned the art.
Now the process of taking that idea and…
