Big side control week! Monday at 11 I’ll be showing how I like to advance from side control to mount!

What do you value more during a roll, control or the submission? 

I’d rather be in complete control the entire roll with no submission, than catching a lucky submission in the first minute. 

I’m talking in a training session.. in competition by all means catch that lucky submission and conserve energy!

Let’s get to our partners back, and learn how to escape from it! See you tomorrow at 11

Definitely depends on the level of my training partner. If they’re less experienced, I like to take that time to work on things I want to add to my game but that I’m not proficient at yet. It’s a good opportunity to get good reps at that skill when I know that it wouldn’t work on a more experienced training partner. Crawl, walk, run!

Last Tuesday 10am class before things get shaken up next week, come by for tackle defense and some closed guard attacks!

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.
