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!

Transitioning from closed guard to back control.

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

CU@6AM!

We’re starting our series from closed guard. 

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

#CU@6AM! 

Arm locks…or if you’re from Boston…Ahm bahs 

On a serious note, it’s one of the most used submissions used in sport jiujitsu and MMA.

Let’s dive into this submission and have some fun. 💪

Them: “Is that the one where you go HIIIII YAAA”?!?!?!?!

Me: 😐

What is a win?

When we start out we think it’s just submissions. In reality we should look at it more in smaller victories…

Was I able to hold side control?

Did I escape from a higher belt? 

Did I keep someone, that’s similar belt, in full mount? 

Did someone escape when I had their back..and why? 

Was I out of breath and exhausted after a round? 

In the words of Oprah….you get a choke, and you get a choke…..and you get a choke. 

We’ve got 2 chokes in all-levels class this week. 

Let’s break these down and get some reps in, see you at 6 am.

In all level classes we start our full mount series.

We’re going to dive in deep on the trap, bridge, and roll escape. This has been one of my go-to escapes for a while. 

See you at 6am!

Learning to use your feet offensively will help you gain traction in your BJJ journey. We’ll go over some of small details with the scissor sweep.

See you at 6am!

Wash it asap.
