Grappling Techniques

Jiu-Jitsu Magazine's Kenny Johnson shows us a plethora of punishing moves to open up and break down an opponent's turtle position.Techniques shown are the "Bow and Arrow", "Crotch Pry", "Crotch Pry To Back", "Front Head Pull", "Hip Thruster" and "Side Drive"

In 2003 I had the honor in competing in the ADCC in Brazil. And Since I lost in the first round to Royler Gracie, I had plenty of time to watch the rest of the event. Two athletes really stuck out that event in my mind, one was "Marcelinho" Marcelo Garcia and the other was Mr. Dean Lister. 

Dean ended up winning the absolute division that year with picture perfect technique similar to what he is showing in this video, break out your notepad and take some notes Lockflowr's.

Here are some nice Catch-As-Catch-Can wrestling submission tricks with Kristijan Simeunovic.

Nothing is more frustrating than being stuck in your opponent's lockdown, forever trying to free your leg from their half guard. Lucky for us, Rener Gracie has put out a video to help us learn how to free ourselves from this control position.

Lucas Lepri has won the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, the Nogi World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, Pan American Championships and the Nogi Pan American Championships multiple times in the lightweight division. 

So when Lucas shows us some nice follow-up submissions from the triangle from back control, we might want to pay attention. 

Some tricks, clues and minor details to help you finish that kimura from inside your opponent's half guard with Ulpiano Malachias

It's been a little while since I shared a Short But Sweet reference video with you but now I'm back and this one is dedicated to one specific type of submission, arm bars and arm locks.



Below you'll find a demonstration with narrations of 39 arm bars and armlocks in less than 4 minutes.



The feedback on these video I create has been great and I really appreciate it.  Many students and instructors have sent me messages letting me know that they watch the videos over and over again so they can get ideas or even a refresher of what do possibly drill or even teach.

You will be surprised on how many “little” things can make such a big difference in your grappling.  There are so many concepts that many people don’t even realize until much later in their training that in my opinion it can really make your improvement much slower than it should be.

In this video I share with you a very simple concept that not only helps my game a ton but also helps so many grapplers out there of all levels.
