This is a discussion about something that drives me crazy. All the things that people say they “would do” in response or reaction to a choke are very revealing about their level of training or their actual experience with applying or having chokes applied to them.
•
There was a recent “self defense expert” showing a pressure point release to a Guillotine Choke that was in the top 5 most unrealistic responses I’ve ever seen.
•
I’ve had countless comments on videos where I demonstrate and explain front headlocks and guillotines by the “just shoot/stab him” crowd about what they would do, which by the near impossibility of what they describe, reveal that they have never had this choke actually applied to them. But they have a computer and keyboard and an imagination and can lie about their “training experience” so they get a voice in the comment section unfortunately.
•
The breakdown in the conversation comes from lack of training, and people being dishonest with themselves about their abilities. My opinion is this:
Train real things.
Talk online less than you train.
•
Pretty simple. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks to Ryan for doing this video with me and to Fit to Fight®️ México and the whole FTF Republic family.

I’ve had a few requests for some “Big Guy Jiu-Jitsu” techniques, and this is one of the first that always come to mind. The Sao Paulo pass, popularized by Roberto Tozi, is a powerful pass that is perfect for a smashy BJJ game.
•
Don’t be fooled though, this isn’t just a pass for big, heavy players. I personally like to do this pass to bigger guys (although I am far from a big guy myself), as they tend to not like being folded and smashed the way this pass happens.
•
So, whether you’re a big or small person, I hope you get some usefulness out of this pass. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!

The post The Smashiest Jiu-Jitsu Guard Pass | The São Paulo Pass for Big Guys appeared first on jitseasy.

This Fit to Fight Republic®️ video features me showing one of my favorite Hail Mary techniques, the baseball bat choke from the bottom. This deceptive choke is a powerful tool when you realize your guard is inevitably passed. It works in conjunction with your framing defense preceding it, and sometimes even people who see it coming will still get caught too far in to defend it. I hope you like it.

This video has had a lot of requests, so I finally broke down and made it. Here I show some Rubber Guard fundamentals, set-ups, common mistakes, control features and submission opportunities from basic to advanced. This is a sampling/overview of Rubber Guard, which is a versatile and robust position with uses ranging from sport to mma to self defense.

There are a ton of great resources out there on this topic, mostly from the 10th Planet System. But this guard system has spread far and wide for decades now, and continually evolves. Hope you like my brief overview here.
