Hide Your Legs

How many times have you been happily passing away only to have someone jump on one of your legs and try to rip it? My guess is probably a lot.

Since around 2015 and the rise of people like Eddie Cummings and the rest of the DDS, leg locking has become a staple of the modern game.

In fact, the leg lock game became so powerful, a lot of people got scared of passing. I even heard some crazy folks talking about passing being DEAD!

Obviously, passing isn’t dead, but it is essential you understand how to hide your legs or it might be the death of you.

Hiding your legs is actually pretty simple. All you need to do is make sure you knee and ankle stay on opposite sides of your partners leg (or hook).

This is something I discussed during the Cradle Masterclass, and as it’s much easier to understand visually then in writing and check out the clip below now:

It Ain’t Over

You’ve probably heard the saying, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over!” A couple of weeks ago, there was a perfect example of why this is so true for BJJ at the Pan Ams.

You might have heard about the match between Adam Wardzinski and Fellipe Andrew. It was a super exciting match, and up until the 90 seconds, Wardzinski was down by nine points.

Usually, nine points is a death sentence in a BJJ match, even more so against a high-level opponent like Fellipe Andrew. However, Wardzinski had different ideas…

With just 90 seconds on the clock, Wardzinski sweeps passed to mount and equalised the score. Then with just 2 seconds left, Wardzinski sets up a cross choke and scored the winning advantage.

A lot of people would see a nine point deficit against the guy who just beat you in the finals of the euros as insurmountable odds.

But this is a perfect example of why you should never give up in a competition. When I grow up, I hope to have the same resilience as Wardzinski.

Check out the match below as even knowing the outcome, it’s full packed full of some great Jiu Jitsu and Wardzinski’s come back is incredible.

Discover How To Create Insanely Tight Cross Face

Have you ever rolled with someone, who had a cross face so tight you thought you might pass out just from the pressure.

It’s a painfully interesting experience. And after a few minutes of being crushed by their shoulder pressure, you’re pretty much fine with letting them do whatever it is they want.

It’s safe to say, having a powerful cross face is a useful tool.

Thankfully, anyone can create an insanely tight cross face, if you follow a few simple steps. In the video, below Tom Barlow discusses how sets up the cross face for maximum pressure.
