One grip change stops the flexible people from getting away.

Turtling, inverting, and sh*****ng can all be a nuisance unless we deliberately control the hips.

These passes require precise timing and good hand placement.

Don’t twist and apply force!!

This also applies to the top positions.

Remembering this rule will prevent rib injuries that derail our training.

Do you have a favorite place to find the twister hook?

This is a strong introduction to the twister hook.

Once we are comfortable with the leg entanglement, we can look for it in several different positions.

Faster, easier, or better?

We will do our best work when we select the correct game plan.

Every position has several good options, but those options have to fit our priorities.

Faster, easier, and better are not necessarily the same thing.

When building a game, I encourage everyone to begin with a stance. Then learn how to approach someone else who is also in a stance.

A takedown may be the fastest way to get ahead on the scoreboard.

Pulling guard may be easier than wrestling with an Olympic judoka or college wrestler.

A flying submission might be better if it ends the match immediately—but that certainly doesn’t make it easier.

Good Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just knowing what works. It’s knowing which option makes sense right now.

Faster. Easier. Better.

They aren’t always the same answer. 🥋

If we are precise about how we use our grips, our fingers will last much longer.

What is something that you have drilled in until it becomes second nature?

Competition is a great way to test our ability to think clearly under pressure.

This was probably the most scared I have been in a match.

I did not win, but was able to pay attention well enough to keep myself safe and learn from an incredible experience.

Our priorities must be in order and part of our trained in game plan.

Safety first, including our training partners. This way we have unlimited tries to figure this game out.

Then, we need a strong sense of direction and the ability to remain clear minded.

The straight ankle lock is easy to counter.

The winner of this exchange is decided by who is able to hand fight better in this fleeting situation.

After passing the legs, we need to keep them from turning to all fours in order to get 3 points.

This is why the knee grip is one of my favorite passing tools.

Do you have a favorite passing grip?

I always try to begin by getting posture and stuffing the hands onto the stomach.

This produces a small opportunity to check which leg is on the bottom.
