Cartwheel pass when your opponent stiff arms your head during a body lock pass. You can’t complete your pass if you can’t get your head and hips on opposite sides of the body, if you’re opponent realizes this they’ll stiff arm your head to keep it from passing over. Instead, we’ll pass the legs over. . . . . . #bjj #nogi #bodylock #bodylockpass #cartwheelpass #guardpass #butterflyguard #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsulifestyle #jiujitsu #chinohills #upland #glendora #claremont #ranchocucamonga @guardpassers

Time and Place. It’s important as a coach to know when it’s appropriate to make huge technical adjustments and when it’s time to make small bite sized adjustments. Generally when it’s go time(mitts, sparring, a fight, etc.) you really want to think about the one most important fix that will make the biggest difference and spend no longer than 5 seconds explaining it so that intensity doesn’t drop and focus doesn’t shift. The time for mechanical overhauls should come outside of go time when the intensity is dropped and focus is on details. I’ve experienced lots of training partners and coaches ruin workouts bc they spend so much time over explaining techniques. It’s a beautiful skill to use the fewest words possible and still be able to convey the important details of what you’re trying to get across. .

Back escape clearing the top hook. Traditionally, we always want to clear the bottom hook to escape back control. This escape has been working really well for me, clearing and controlling the top hook makes it really hard for the opponent to follow. . . . #mma #bjj #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #nogi #backcontrol #backcontrolescape #backescape

Joining team #girldad and I couldn’t be more excited. I can’t wait to meet my baby girl, due date is January 5th and I’m counting down the days. ❤️❤️❤️

A simple and really effective counter to the backstep in coyote half is just to change from outside control to inside control with the feet. We elevate the leg to stop the hip heist which gives us the opportunity to switch our hips and keep our opponent on their back. Sexy right? RIGHT?! . . . #bjj #bjjlifestyle #blackbelt #halfguard #backstep #sweep
