This video I breakdown my 3 tier system for defending against the cross pant grip passing system. I break it dowen by the early stage focused on fast grip breaking on the wrist, the second stage is focused on inversion to twist their grip, and the third phase is focused on once your opponent gets the grip on your lapel.

This video I overview three simple details people often miss with their guard retention.
1. Hip Angling to keep your feet in alignment with the direction your opponent is trying to pass.
2. Keeping Shoulder Blades Off The Mat
3. Proper use of feet on hips or upper body depending on opponents posture.
When you get your legs smashed down and your opponent weaves the arm through to control your legs, you have to act quickly to free the legs back up. Here are 2 options on how to deal with this guard passing situation.

November 2021 I had the honor of returning to my friend’s academy to teach another seminar. This one I focused mostly on guard retention with some more advanced counter attacks. We start very basic in this video after an introduction and discussion about our beginnings and history of jiu-jitsu in Ohio.

This video I overview the idea of side tilting in guard. A lot of people play their guard flat on there back, and this can be very useful, but often playing on your side allows for many benefit. On your side it is easier to maintain distance, it is difficult for your opponent to flatten you to finish their pass, and you have a lot of momentum for setting up attacks. This can also make it easier to set up back takes, berimbolos, and matrix attacks.
