Fast Standing X-Pass and drils

Just thought this was cool, so thought I’d post -

 


Flower sweep

We got working this sweep today during open mat.  I’m mostly posting this video as a reminder to myself.  I found a number of good demos on YouTube, but I like the drill that is incorporated into this making the sweep a progression from when you can’t get an attempted spinning arm bar.


Book Review: Jiu-Jitsu on the Brain

Jiu-Jitsu on the Brain by Mark Johnson

I’m a bit hard pressed to say something about this book that hasn’t been said already.  Jiu-Jitsu on the Brain gives a candid glimpse into the life of someone who has chosen the study of a martial “art” as a path of personal evolution.

For those new to  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, think of this book as an introduction to what you might be in for, what to look for, and what to even possibly avoid.  To those who are familiar with this world, you might find this to be like a ‘Chicken Soup for the Jiu-Jitsu Soul’.

I highly recommend this book.  It is currently available on Amazon as a Kindle e-Book.
