I did an interview for the BJJ Brick Podcast. . . here it is.
So here is the interview I did for the BJJ Brick podcast. Interview
Sacrifice throw and pulling guard
One move that I encourage all of my students to incorporate into their game is some type of sacrifice throw. I have one in particular that I use a lot and I like having a well drilled sacrifice throw for 3 main reasons. The first is that it can provide you with an alternative to […]
Atlanta Open
So it looks like the Atlanta Open on August, 30th will be my return to competition. I’ve had a great 2 weeks of training and this week in particular was especially tough. Along with upping my intensity and volume in regards to actual BJJ training I’ve also introduced more lifting back into my routine. The […]

1 lesson for BJJ from a belt promotion (Don’t chase rank)
Last night was a pretty special night for me. I had the privilege of promoting a purple belt to brown belt. This is a huge deal in itself, but it was made especially rewarding because he was my first purple belt. I promoted him to purple in January of 2012 and over the last 2 […]
Wrestling Lazy Arm for BJJ
This is a technique that can be used whenever you encounter a overhook that is putting pressure on your underhook. The lazy arm is a very easy addition to a grappling game and won’t require a strong wrestling base to implement.
