Using power vs. feeling my opponents weight and using it to my advantage or their disadvantage. For a long time I was using a ton of power to try and escape. 

In very slow progression I started hanging out (preserving energy), and let my opponent make a mistake or use mechanics to get the escape.

Current favorite person to watch is Adam Wardzinski.  I really like a lot of his foot sweeps and reversals.

Don’t be a jive turkey and think you should slack on your fundamentals this week!

Trap-bridge-roll, the first technique i attempt whenever I end up in full mount. 

I’ll be going over the small details that set me up for success whenever I attempt this technique!

We've got 2 variations for single leg take downs this week, make sure you don't miss it!

That's a good one! Once that choke is done to you, you're always aware of it being used.

Not a surprise since you did a whole workshop on triangles!

Funny, I had a hard time with the scissor sweep at the beginning. Once I became ok with loading my training partner, it became a lot easier!

Here’s a question for the week. 

At the beginning of your journey what was a technique that came to you easily? 

For me it was the bow and arrow choke. I was able to get that choke pretty often. 

What about you?

Transitioning from closed guard to back control.

Great technique that ends with us in a very dominant position.

We’re starting our series from closed guard. 

It doesn’t get much more old school than a cross collar choke from closed guard.
