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.

We’re starting our series from closed guard. 

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

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!
