Starting from knees: TAKEDOWN/ARMBAR combo!
In Jiu-Jitsu we often start from our Knees. But this technique works from the knees or from standing. Does not matter. Get the throw, if it doesn’t work…move straight into an Armbar. It’s incredibly effective and can end the roll/match within seconds. A couple of my students did exactly that in a recent competition. Check out the video and try it yourself on the mat. Let me know how you go.

Increase Your Open Guard Passing Defense With These Simple Tips
Open Guard with no control of grips can be frustrating to deal with. When rolling against an opponent that has a very fast Guard passing game you need to be using these tips.
By sitting to my butt rather than my back I can create more distance and slow a fast passer down. If I start from my back he is already one step ahead of me.
It’s very instinctive to go straight for the hip escape when getting your Guard passed. Once you learn the difference of when to butt scoot vs when to hip escape your open Guard game will drastically improve.
When going into positions from the Open Guard it is important that we control our grips and then scoot into the position. Rather than falling back and setting ourself up for the Guard pass.
Try these tips out and let me know how they work for you!
