The Bear Trap // Masterclass

If you’ve never heard of the Bear Trap, you’re missing out on a world of fun. It’s based on the simple calf crush. However, its simplicity hides how versatile and vicious it can be as it allows you so many other opportunities than just a submission.

On Sunday 16th March at 10 AM, Tom Barlow will be sharing the Bear Trap game he’s been developing for a long time.

In this masterclass will be in the Gi (the No Gi variations will also be discussed), you’ll learn everything you need to add the Bear Trap to your game, including:

  • Use the Bear Trap to control and shut down your opponents movement
  • Pass, sweep or take the back with ease.
  • How to set it up from top or bottom and seamless connect bear trap to bear trap.
  • Lock in brutal submissions your opponents won’t see coming and ones they do, but can’t do anything about.

Whether you’re a guard passer, a scrambler, or a submission hunter, adding the Bear Trap to your arsenal will level up your game. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn one of the most underrated yet powerful systems in BJJ.

Here’s the best part… you can “Pay What You Want” to attend the seminar. Want to invest £100? Awesome! Only have £1? No worries? It’s entirely up to you. Just change the amount before you complete your registration.

Creating Escapology 2.0 – Episode #5

A little over two months ago, we set out on an ambitious journey to transform an old hall into our brand-new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. Fast forward and we’re open and we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible space we’ve created!

Want to see how it all came together? Check out the video below for a full tour of the academy. You’ll get a peek at:

  • Our cozy new café: Almost ready to go with meals from our talented student-run business, Two Chefs, plus a proper coffee setup for post-training fuel.
  • Two incredible mat spaces: Mat one is massive, and perfect for our main classes. Mat two is more intimate and ideal for our beginners sessions and smaller classes. Both mats are fully padded, well lit, and have heating!
  • The multifunctional hangout area: Perfect for parents, kids, and anyone looking to chill after a hard training session. Bistro-style vibes included.
  • Our revamped locker rooms: Thoughtful touches like makeup stations, hooks that pull out (they’re cooler than they sound, we promise), and plenty of warmth to keep you comfortable.

The energy is already awesome, but we’re just getting started. Whether you’ve been following our journey or are just jumping in, you check out this behind-the-scenes look at our academy’s transformation.

Hit play and join us for the big reveal—we can’t wait to share this moment with you!
