In this video, we take a first look at a series of pins I've been using successfully - starting in side control, we can transition to knee on belly, scarfhold, mount or the back. The key is to not desperately hold onto one position, but switch positions when necessary and keep your opponent pinne...

In this video, we look at one potential chain of pins, starting from Side Control, transitioning to Knee on Belly (and back to Side Control if needed), and then finally ending up in mount.

In this video, we look at a second potential chain of pins, starting from Side Control, transitioning to Knee on Belly, and then potentially getting the back control if our opponent runs away - some practitioners will now seek to run to turtle, especially if they're happy to initiate a scramble o...

In this video, we look at one of my most successful backtakes, along with a back control to Crucifix trap - I've had great success implementing both of these options against fellow black belts; both options are typically unexpected by opponents if they've never encountered them before!

This is a more complicated entry into the wedge bear and bolo, and requires precise timing - you will need to practice this one a fair amount, but it is an effective counter to the reverse de la Riva and is used at the highest level to great success.

In this video, we take a look at transitioning to the back from mount making sure we retain head & shoulder control throughout. There are several options in this video, depending on how much mobility you have in your hips.

In this video, I want to take the time to go through a tricky attacking system that I've been working on. This is the first iteration of a system making use of the Claw grip, as well as the idea of the Long hook/Short Hook, which I learned during the BJJ Focus Camp taught by Ethan Crelinsten & Da...

In this video, I want to take a look at how to actually get a grip (literally) of your opponent - this is often a challenge, and you'll generally have a bit of a battle before establishing a secure back control!

In this video, I take a look at how to actually get to back control from Side control.

In this video, I take a look at how to break down the turtle position. Note, I am pitting this offence against a proper turtle, as taught by Priit Mihkelson (check out Defensive BJJ for more)
