Looking back I think the biggest thing was learning to stay calm and that you don't need to constantly move. Don't freak out or spazz out. This give you a moment to think or at least react properly.

When the knees are good 🤣

Collar chokes are so powerful. What's more fun that choking someone with their own gi!Let's see were we can weave in a wristlock this week #WristLockWednesday

When I want to learning something new or maybe answer a problem I generally isolate one piece and go from there. Lets say I want to learn an ankle lock from single leg x, I'd go down the YouTube rabbit hole or ROLTv and watch 5-10 videos from quality instructors. Sometimes I'd find a great video from a lesser known instructor who just broke it down so well. Then I'd immediately switch to how to defend the technique. In my mind seeing both sides of it really helped. I was able to see potential problems and potential solutions.To this day, I still like looking at both aspects of something I want to learn or a problem I want to solve. 

Baseball bat chokes are sooooo powerful! Join me this week as we take a look Wednesday at 8PM.Don't forget the best part, #WristlockWednesday

I'll have to get a little creative to make it fit with this weeks techniques but join me to see what I have in store!

Answer 1, I think drilling is great and think Tim's description of what it can be is great.Answer to question 2, it isn't a specific technique, it is just drilling. Need to do more drilling.

I love the closed guard and this weeks techniques are great ones!

The pendulum sweep is a great sweep and if you miss it can lead to an armbar. If you are good at defending it there can even be a wristlock 😈

Come see me this week for #wristlockWednesday

What a great week ahead. On Wednesday we'll look at how to get to the ground and what to do once you get there.

Best of all, I've spent a lot of time over the last few months coaching kids wrestling so let me help you with the classic double leg take down we are covering. 

I usually only get to train gi due to schedules but I too enjoy both.

I love gi for various reasons, most already mentioned. I will say you can adapt your gi game if you are careful to make it very applicable to no gi so there is that. 

The cross choke is such a classic and when done well unstoppable. There are videos of Roger Gracie telling people it is coming and when, but yet they can't stop it. See you Wednesday night as we all try to get that proficient!
