I try my best NOT to break Chris Haueter’s rules:

1) be the guy on top

2) when on top, stay on top

3) when on bottom, have a guard you shall not pass

4) Never forget rule #1, often forgotten due to the seduction, rewarding and lazy nature of guard

Looking forward to covering some Single Leg Defense and how we can generate our own offense from that position. It’ll be fun!

I am currently on a work trip which has inspired this question, when you are out of town for work or for fun, do you find a place to train?

I personally do not but that’s only due to the lack of free time. I would love to be able to get a class in while away. I’m curious how many savages we have that make the time and the effort to bring their Gi and attend a class.

I like watching grappling matches or UFC fights to see what the high level guys are doing. If they can get it to work on other high level guys, then there must be some value there.

Self defense. As we see in the UFC, sport jiu jitsu doesn’t carry over well as the effectiveness of many positions drastically change when strikes are introduced. Get on top, stay on top. Simple jiu jitsu.

If you could attend any seminar for free, who would you pick? Would you have a specific topic request?

My top pick would have to be Gordon for obvious reasons. But If we eliminated that option, I’d pick JFlo followed closely by Lovato Jr. All three of these names would be a world class experience! I personally wouldn’t even request a topic, just learn whatever they are best and most passionate about.

My system has changed several times over my time on the mat but i would say one factor has remained consistent, I try to keep it as simple and realistic as possible. Berimbolo and some of these different types of guards are really fun to play with, but if you really got into an altercation they’re not always gonna yield the best results. Simple is king!

I would try to do only the techniques of the day when it comes to open mat/ positional training. Don’t just stick with what’s comfortable, force myself to work on those techniques I’m not successful with

If you walked in to class and Professor asked you to pick the topic to work on, what would you choose?

For me, it would be anything takedown related. I’ve been very focused on stand up grappling for the past couple of months and loving it! Anything to learn or drill from judo or wrestling is fine by me.
