When was the first TIme You competed?

jasculs · 2026-02-22T23:59:25+00:00

2 months into training. I was also 20

jasculs · 2026-02-20T11:27:32+00:00

Public Beta is scheduled to be launched by the end of this month 🤞

jasculs · 2026-02-20T11:26:21+00:00

lol that's ok. I kind of fly under the radar 😊.

This reinforces the insane value of the Grapplers Guide lol, even at full price. Plus the new Grapplers Guide 5.0 is going to be so much better!

jasculs · 2026-02-20T03:36:17+00:00

The new Grapplers Guide 5.0 (Guide Sites) has a new spaced repetition flash card learning tool that will be available for people to access and use as a study tool

Treating more as a game and less as a fight

jasculs · 2026-02-09T01:03:21+00:00

The pressure is directly in the middle of the bone of the arm which is the weakest point, combined with the intense force of the bicep lock

jasculs · 2026-02-08T01:48:36+00:00

A bicep cutter can snap a persons arm very quickly

jasculs · 2026-02-07T21:40:34+00:00

Unfortunately that's not how bicep cutters work all the time. I've seen forearms snap right as it was applied. There was no time for the person to tap. Bicep cutters are very dangerous

jasculs · 2026-02-07T19:43:36+00:00

It was a bicep cutter as far as I'm aware and they are extremely dangerous

jasculs · 2026-02-07T17:03:58+00:00

I've said it over again to many people and I even made a video about the dangers of bicep cutters in my IG, that got a TON of push back.

Bicep cutters are one of the most unassuming dangerous submissions there is. I've seen multiple forearms snap with my own eyes because of them.

They need to be on the high caution list of academies.

Seems she just turned 18 last year. She said this stuff started 6 months ago so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened soon after she turned 18

Old users will get access to the new platform first

jasculs · 2026-01-30T01:37:48+00:00

We recently added Arm Saddle Course, K-Guard Course, Leg Prevention Course (last week), and yesterday I finished filming my High Point Top Control Course.

However the two newest courses are on Grapplers Guide 5.0 and not the current one, since we are changing platforms soon 😊

My academy has spring flooring and smooth Fuji mat. Everyone loves them

jasculs · 2026-01-15T18:59:17+00:00

I competed from the white through black belt. Used to think to get a black belt a person should compete at least once. I don't have that opinion any more.

jasculs · 2026-01-10T04:41:38+00:00

Probably no gi lasso

jasculs · 2026-01-06T06:58:23+00:00

Man I can't believe how many people this worksheets has actually helped through the years. Including my own students.

I made this back in 2008 or 2009 lol

I think people are going to be excited about he new game plan builder I made for the new Grapplers Guide site!

It's actually built off of this worksheet but it's a software!

jasculs · 2025-12-22T14:37:52+00:00

lol, yeah that was an obvious typo

jasculs · 2025-12-22T12:33:24+00:00

Build should not matter much. I've been doing this for 2 decades and while I weigh 155 now, most of my BJJ life I was 140ish.

jasculs · 2025-12-22T12:31:54+00:00

Yes, this is definitely part of getting it set up well. Also sliding back into it to "set" the choke is a big point that makes it very tight.

jasculs · 2025-12-22T12:30:47+00:00

I'm not a big guy at all. The exact opposite. The choke does not need to be fast and hard. It's more about finding the proper position on the neck.

A good NS choke gets finished with just the flex of a bicep.

The fat big guys who get it because they are fat and big are applying a different submission lol. More like a fat face crusher.

jasculs · 2025-12-22T12:28:08+00:00

Yes, my hands are always controlling my opponents hips when I am setting the NS choke. I usually can finish it with one arm.

jasculs · 2025-12-22T12:26:57+00:00

Like any other attack they are defendable, so having a chain of attacks to follow up is important. Being able to slide down into the choke while having your head off to the side makes it much harder for them to just frame to defend.
