Lapel Guards

Filming Instructionals Is Dangerous!

You might not believe it, but filming a Jiu Jitsu instructional can be a dangerous business. I certainly didn’t believe it.

A short while ago, I was recording some additional content for the Lapel Guard Passing Course with one of my students Ash. During one of the demonstrations, I accidentally put Ash to sleep!

This was completely unexpected as I was demonstrating a pass, not a choke. Apparently, my shoulder pressure is just that powerful.

Ash completely recovered within a second or two of me realising the pressure, but as it’s pretty funny I thought I’d share the clip with you.

Do you hate getting tangled up in lapel guards?
