I feel the same giving up my back isn’t a bad thing or going into 1/2. 

On Thursday we have the scissor sweep. One of the most fundamental sweeps of all sweeps. Where the key is loading our partners for the scissoring legs. And the single take down from clinch. Both are 3 stripes, on the WBMK.

What’s up everyone. Yes I do even if I don’t train I bring my gi. Have gi will travel. I always like to see how other people train and to gauge where I’m kind of at.

This week we will be working hard, exploring the single leg take down and a couple of excellent sweeps. It will be an awesome week. Along the way we will be focusing on our WBMK techniques. Making them smooth and effective.

Great time in Fundamentals this week we’ll be sweeping, opening, or retaining guard. We have two WBMK at the beginning and the end of the week. Stop on by and sharpen your skills.

Working on the finer things. What constitutes a frame, cleaner submission, sort of bullet proof what I can allowing for 2 alternatives if possible. Building technique all the way to the submission promised land.

I would say, don’t give up. Keep pushing. It’s a long journey, enjoy every minute on the mat. Control is more important than the submission. It takes time be patient.

3 WBMK techniques this Tuesday at 7pm. 1 standing and 2 from the dreaded side control.

Hi everybody. I was wondering where does your jiu jitsu come from? Live training, classes, seminars, You Tube, or high level matches, UFC etc.? Or a combo?

For me, it’s teaching, mat time, ROL-TV, and You Tube.

The mats push me to improve, but teaching it is what really makes it stick. It forces me to explain it, feel it, internalize it. You Tube is a point of reference for me. Sometimes I find something new, other times I don’t. But either way, it shows me where I’m at in my jiu-jitsu.

Here’s to a healthy new year on the matts.

Great job Tyler. For me, I would like to delve further into the invisible BJJ world. Ever since, Henry Akins, Scott Burr and our very own Professor Thomas, I’ve been intrigued by, leverage, gravity, and timing.
