ROL TV is proud to introduce new additions to our ever-growing instructional library, featuring an insightful and highly practical series by Professor Russ focused on the straight ankle lock — one of the most fundamental yet powerful submissions in Jiu Jitsu.

Good point Daniel Bianchi, there are so many phenomenal instructors out there and access to their content is at our fingertips. So many secrets are secrets no more.

This is one of my favorite weeks in the Intermediate program, guard passing… often underestimated and often time a point of struggle for many. We will be discussing Toreando and Leg Drag passing systems in Gi and NoGi (respectively). This will be highly technical approach, so be ready for a lot of drilling. See you on the mat guys 👊

Wow, this is huge! We can learn from anyone, but what a person with a similar body type can offer is perspective that others don’t see. It’s not just about size or body type; it’s also about how we process information. For example, a larger person will never experience being stuck at the bottom the same way as a smaller individual. A taller person will see a take-down very differently than a shorter individual. There’s more… an engineering mind will process information differently than a creative person.

We all have strengths and weaknesses, and understanding what they are is key to our success. Learning or modeling someone with a similar build and mind could not only speed up the learning process but also make it more enjoyable.

Great week in NoGi classes. Tripod Pass is not the easiest yet all kids did great. Understanding mechanics and staying focused on the plan allowed us to make this easy to learn.

We all learn from our instructors and coaches, but occasionally, we attend a class or seminar with a guest instructor who completely changes our perspective.

What was the most significant takeaway from a seminar or class you’ve attended in the past?
