What’s the best advice a coach or training partner ever gave you?

It could be technical, mental, or something about training that stuck with you over the years.

Maybe it changed how you roll. Maybe it changed how you think about Jiu Jitsu altogether.

Share it below and if you remember who said it, give them a shoutout.

We are digging deep into side control defenses and escapes in the Interm Class. Useful things if you don’t like being on the bottom.

We’ll be diving into the concept of total domination from side control, exploring everything from positional control and pressure to submissions, chokes, and joint manipulation. This session will focus on understanding how to truly control the situation while creating effective attacking opportunities from one of the most dominant positions in Jiu Jitsu.

Join me for a deep look into the details, concepts, and strategies that make side control such a powerful part of the game.
