This video describes what I call the ‘Head Mount’ which is a great way to deal with a squiry, flexible opponent who is forever trying to put you back in his guard.

Exactly 8 years ago today filmed myself doing 33 back to back solo grappling drills for you all to get ideas from. It has become the most popular solo grappling drills video on YouTube!

I figured now at the ripe age of 38 years old :-)..it was time for me to give you all an updated version!

The first video was upload on March 22nd 2011 and now I give you an updated 54 Solo Grappling BJJ Drills in Just 12 Minutes! These were all filmed back to back with no stops or editing.

Hope you enjoy and hope it helps with ideas and your training! Below is the drill list!

Not all of us have steady access to a gym or training partner, so Stephan Kesting of GrappleArts shares 5 solo movements drills you can practice on your own. These are common warm-ups that you will do in the beginning of every BJJ class, that work the exact same movements while rolling with a partner.
