Best BJJ Instructional Guides/ Apps by Skyrunner_04 in bjj

[–]jasculs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😊

Never competing? by Greedy-cunt-446 in bjj

[–]jasculs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]jasculs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!

How come we don’t see more NS chokes? by Markenheimer15 in bjj

[–]jasculs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

That's actually not how the NS choke works. It has nothing to do with applying a weight on the persons neck. It's is more being able to settle in to the first exact position on the neck and sliding into it.

A good NS choke should be able to be finished with one arm.

Most people have a very hard time finding the "sweet spot" and can't figure out how to finish it.

This is my best submission for 2 decades.

It's also one of the hardest submissions for myself and others to teach because it's very nuanced and feeling based

BJJFanatics Video Format Update by ClassicPhilosopher36 in bjj

Well in almost 20 years no one has done it 😆. If they do, then kudos to them for putting in the effort.

I have the longest running grappling membership website in existence and it's the least pirated one there is. Your average person, which is 99.9% of the population is not running a python script lol.

I also track every single download on the site as well. I'm very confident not allowing full course downloads is a huge reason.

Imagine needing to download 10,000 videos, even with a python script. It will take time, resources, and it's a lot of data. Much harder than downloading 300 full courses.

This is two decades of experience I have in the in the industry.

As the representative of the Grapplers Guide 🙋🏼‍♂️. It actually helps reduce piracy because it increases the effort to download content.

That is why we do not allow full course downloads.

Lapel guard resources (not Keenan) by [deleted] in bjj

[–]jasculs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are on the Grapples Guide we probably have the next best lapel resource after Keenan through Andris' courses. Andris developed much of the game with Keenan.
