In this video, I discuss using the lapel to give you a little edge if you are being pinned by a big heavy guy. This clever little hack can be used incredibly effectively and to be honest, – It is super simple! At the beginner level, lapels are not used as often. But they should. Why not? they provide a great little advantage and a potentially huge payoff with little investment from your side. Check out this video and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how you go

The CANADIAN Ankle LOCK!
Oh, wow…this is an awesome technique. I am really excited to show with you the totally legal at white belt Canadian Ankle lock. Super effective. Has a great little sweep entry and then the finish is very effective. I know you guys will be able to get this. Check out the video and then try it on the mat. Let me know how you go!
The Cutting ARMBAR To Sweep!
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.
HOW To Escape HEADLOCK Control – EASY!
Escaping head lock control (Kesa Gatame) is part of our white belt syllabus. Why? because it is so fundamental to the sport of Jiu Jitsu. Learning this fundamental technique, early and correctly sets you on the right path. In our academy, many people use Kesa Gatame to full effect. The escape is mandatory. Check out this video. The technique is simple. Once you know how. Try it on the mat. And let me know how you go.
A Simple SECRET To The Basic FOOTLOCK!
This is a great little technique that can save you loads of hassle when you grab a great footlock but your partner knows how to counter. Including grabbing your lapel, jumping up on you etc…well this little trick will help stop these counters in their tracks! It’s simple and you really need it in your BJJ arsenal! Take a look at the video, give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go!
A State of MIND – to Finish From the Back – Every time!
In this video, I discuss a little trick that is more a state of mind an approach rather than a technique. But it’s easily just as effective. And it is often overlooked. Every time I tell my students this little trick their results from back control go through the roof! check out the video and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how you go
Part 5 of 5 – Transition from X Guard INTO a Single LEG X
In the final part of our short series…this is transitioning from an over hook x-guard to a single leg X. Actually, it really is an Ashi Garami – meaning leg entanglement. But as you will see from the video, the transition can be extremely quick. And because of this it opens up many, many options for you. Take a look at the video and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how it goes…
Part 4 of 5 – An AWESOME X Guard SIDE KICK Sweep!
We are now dealing with a savvy opponent. They are aware of the sweeps from x-guard and they know that they need to control the variables. By moving and posting forward. But that just opens up another opportunity with a simple ‘sidekick’ – old school karate style. But used to create distance, not damage. And with that distance, opportunities open up. Watch the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes.
Part 3 of 5 – An Alternative X Guard Sweep – Into a Footlock!
It is not uncommon to have completed the sweep discussed in the previous video a couple of times – to suddenly have your rolling partner counter/push against it. No problem. Use that energy to your advantage and sweep the other direction. Straight into a footlock (or alternative a relatively easy pass). It’s not hard, it just takes a little practice. Try it out on the mat and let me know how it goes.
Part 2 of 5: The Incredibly EFFECTIVE Overhook X Guard SWEEP!
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.
Part 1 of 5: The AWESOME OverHook X-GUARD!
This is part of a series on x-guard I did with my academy recently. It really is an awesome guard and provides many options to sweep and submit your opponent. There are some variations and tricks and hacks that I discuss in this series. So watch closely. Give it a try on the mat. Let me know how it goes.
2 BJJ Armbar Grip Breaks (Twist and Wrists)
Ever had an Armbar but were unable to finish whether in a BJJ competition or just rolling?
Of course you have. . . we all have!
After training the other day 1 of my purple belts asked me about some tips on how to break a strong grip when finishing the Armbar.
So I figured I’d pull up the camera and show the details with you too!
In the video I identify some simple tactics you can use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu when you run into a strong grip when finishing the Armbar submission.
1 which is always a good option is to attack the wrist with a wrist lock. Even if the wrist lock isn’t successful as a finish. The Armbar defense they were putting up typically falls apart and you can move in to the submission.
But assuming that you can’t use wrist locks or can’t get them to work either. One of my favorite Armbar grip breaks is to stuff the elbow into the armpit and then rock to the side.
Along with placing a lot of heavy weight on the persons face, which is uncomfortable, it also creates torque on the elblow and should and will force them to let go of the grip defense.
Watch the grip break video and if you’re experiencing this sort of problem in your Brazilian Jiujitsu training or competition. Give it a try!
I hope the video is helpful!

Here is my favorite way to set up the Triangle Choke and Armbar from the closed guard.
It all comes down to how you break your opponent’s posture and how he reacts to it.
He will have to post his hands on your body in order regain his posture, and that’s when the attacks are available.
The finishes are a little bit unorthodox, check it out!
