I realize that this is the second time I have pointed to this particular website. I do not represent them in any way. I run my own video production business so I guess they are actually a...

It is not dangerous at all. It is a very common move. I hit it most often when my opponent pushes on me when I am holding mount. After setting it up I set off to scarf for the finish.

For me personally I typically teach the Armbar, Triangle, and Kimura as the guard Trifecta with the Omoplata coming in fourth as far as percentage of success.

The link below is for Stephan Kesting's Omoplata and Dynamic Guard video series. It is a great resource covering the ins and outs of the omoplata. Lots of setups/entries and and what to do when...

GunnedDownAtrocity,
Some BJJ schools may practice them more than others but pretty much every BJJ black belt I have ever had the privilege of working with has used them. In my classes they are used...

Favorite Submission?

Vale Tudo = Tap out to strikes from mount or inside the guard

Submission Wrestling with or without gi = Teabag Kimura from the top or Arm bar from the bottom

My body/shoulders are “bladed” at some where around 30 –35 degrees with the strong side back while in a retention position. I square up to the threat as I punch out into an isosceles firing...

If she were shot with a taser she would have two puncture wounds in her back. She would know.

We used to put on boxing gloves and then let someone hit us with a stun gun and see how many times...

norther practitioner,
Was it a taser or a stun gun? A taser shoots two probes into the subject that are connect to the "gun" via a fine wire. This way the person with the taser does not have to...

YYD,
You are welcome.

I have been sprayed with both mace and pepper spray several times over the years. The last time was with Fox Labs OC in an instructor’s course. It sucked way worse than any of the others. I could...

Definitely more square. Kind of a combination between a boxer and a wrestler. I can strike and defend better from this “stance”. Movement is easier for me and it is easier for me to defend...

Here is a cool sandbag routine I started the other day. I sandwiched it between two regular free weight workouts. So Monday is explosive upper body/max effort lower body and Friday is explosive lower...

I have a new video out that should be of benefit to you all. Brian Jones is my strength coach and we have been using sand bags as part of our training for years. I like it because it does not take a...

That looks to be the same retention position that I use as well. Hand anchored to the bottom of the pectoral muscle with the firearm turned out at around 40 –45 degrees. For extreme close range I...

KnifeFighter,
The term we use for that is a “pick up”. There are three that I use/teach. I am not sure that I can really give it justice in this format. Let me think about it and I will get back...

YinYangDagger,
Yes, my gym is in Lexington KY but the Firearms School is in Clarksville TN (FT. Campbell).

Gabe Suarez will be teaching his CLOSE RANGE GUNFIGHTING course at our place on May 15-16. I am really looking forward to it. It should cover a lot of the firearms issues that have been discussed....

When there are no secret moves then it will come down to who trains smarter. Lots of people train BJJ (or what ever other art) but that does not mean that they all train the same way.

First I should say that Jerry Wetzel, the originator of the Red Zone program, is a very good friend of mine.

With that being said Jerry’s work has had a profound effect on my approach to empty...

I saw that and thought that maybe I was on the wrong forum. It had me looking for the link to the OG.

Why not just fight in a legitimate promotion? Sure there may be more rules but those are there to protect both you and your opponent. Besides, it would suck to go fight in an underground event and...

Radhnoti,
You should be good to go now.

NYerRoman,

Thank you.
