If we are going famous but not because of jiu jitsu I think there are so many like Chuck Norris, Zoltan Bathory or Ed O'Neill. All black belts each with unique background. Chuck Norris for obvious reasons but so many stories I'm sure with the Machados.

Zoltan again for the stories from being a touring musician. If you ever looked at his IG or YouTube such an interesting person. He has a huge love of Judo, he is a big part of the  PGF and don't forget you might get to roll in his castle.

Ed O'Neill again being an actor for so long and a black belt for so long the stories would be great. Plus who doesn't want to say they rolled with Al Bundy 😂

Tripod sweep from guard is by far my favorite sweep. We perfectly executed I love seeing my partner float midair for a second. This is one of the reasons breakfalls are so important. 

And don't forget it's #WristLockWednesday

Smartest thing I've ever heard anyone say!

When it comes to guard retention and closed guard using my legs and not just my arms hands down. People will have an extremely tough time opening your guard if they are constantly being moved around. 

When it comes to strength legs > arms so use them both!

Perfect timing for this week's techniques. Saturday 6/13 join me at a 11AM for a workshop that is going to take a deep dive into opening closed guard. Once we open the guard I'll be showing my 2 favorite options. 

Can't make it Saturday? Well you should change your plans but it you can't, Wednesday night at 8PM will be a great preview. 

This makes so much sense, but I never thought about it in that way. Definitely food for thought.

Better start loosening up those shoulders for Wednesday! Kimuras are a great way to attack your partner. 

Plenty of wrist locks available since you better have that elbow locked in too! #WristLockWednesday

Bonus question: Why is it called a Kimura? Don't know? Answer revealed only on Wednesday night!

I wasn't able to be there last night but anyone who came was in great hands with Peter Thanos He loves side control and it shows!

Good choice, make them only focus on 50% of the body!

Ahh but since it says "caught in" I can still use them as a distraction 😈
