? I am deeply proud of my ❤️ @deeana6!!! She has been working incredibly hard at the @budokonuniversity Mobility & Yoga training course these past 9 days. She has been training anywhere from 8-12hrs a day & even sleeping on the mats at night to completely engulf herself into the training camp. She has taken her body to its limits & pushed through the breaking points. This was her free form movement that she demonstrated on the last day of the mobility course. This is an unrehearsed flow, letting her body & energy guide her movements & she did amazing!!! ? Now this week she will transition into the Yoga portion of her training.
•
I want to send my love & give a big thanks to my brother & sister @cameronshayne & @melayneshayne for all their teachings, inspiration, & support of Diana during this camp. ??❤️ We are so grateful to have you both in our lives & I am super excited to work on everything Diana is learning with you two when she gets home. More & more #Budokon #Yoga & #Mobility will be making its way into the @lovatobjjmma academy in 2020!!!

Here are some Brabo choke sequences for you to try. The Brabo was one of my strongest finishes as a brown belt & early as a black belt until I fully developed my mount. I would hit these sequences all the time in my training back then. Nowadays I reserve my Brabo game for when I’m dealing with a deep half guard player. Drill these & let me know how they work for you ??

Posted @withrepost • @ibjjf Saulo Ribeiro (@sensei6blades) put on a show at the 2019 European Championship with his unreal pressure and fluidity. Watch his full matches on the IBJJF YouTube channel now.⁠
Registration for the European Championship 2020 is now open, visit ibjjf.com to sign up today.

One of the biggest themes inside the systems I teach on Top Game Devastation is to create a position or situation where the guard player is flat/neutralized & you can pursue passes to all three directions (Left, Right, or down the middle straight to Mount.) The guard player, while under a lot of pressure, has no way to defend all three directions & their reactions become very predictable.
•
Here you can see me actively working towards the pass in all directions against the very formidable butterfly guard of the warrior Rafael “Formiga” Barbosa. With a guard of his caliber, the first pass will never work, but when you understand my systems, you will not get frustrated when one door closes, because you will always be able to read where the next door opens. Using the shin staples to keep him flat (a huge topic inside Top Game Devastation), I am able to keep changing directions while my opponent blocks my path to mount.

#FBF to some overtime @adccsubmission scrambles with the Champ @felipepenabjj in Finland 2017. This was a great battle!!! I thought I squeezed it out, but it was a super tight match. I have much respect for Felipe & am very thankful for the opportunity to face him, hopefully we will get the chance to do it again sometime. Wishing him & @galvaobjj an epic superfight this weekend ???
