Glad I could be a resource of something good!

Dang, I just realized he removed the video. I'm not sure why! Sorry about that.

Thank you so much! I would highly recommend John Danaher’s pin escapes instructional. I’m sure his submission escape series is phenomenal as well. Garry Tonon’s breaking legs and breaking hearts, Gordon’s back attack instructional, his seated open guard instructional was spectacular. Marcelo Garcia’s guard passing instructional is another great one to consider also. He’s got a guard passing chain that I’ve been using for years and it connects really well with various other passes, back takes and submissions.

@@StrongBroBJJ thanks for the reply🙏

Very true about my legs being exposed! Even tho heel hooks weren’t legal, he could’ve fell back on a straight ankle if he wanted to just like his team mate did in my second match, but I’m very familiar with that game since I roll with those types of players all of the time. If you have a low knee shield with locked feet, they can forget about falling back on the legs. Even tho there were no points, it’s never good to freely let someone pass your guard outside of training. The likeliness of me subbing him from bottom side control is very slim. I played my A game; play guard, take the back and strangle.

Thanks homie!!!

Heck naw. lol And besides, I'm not a member anymore. It's still a phenomenal resource to learn and grow from, I just eventually stopped because I wanted to keep the extra $20 a month.

Sorry for the late response! Search up mancino martial arts mats, and you should find these exact pair. They’re folding mats, these that I have price around $280 a piece, and you can actually select how thick you want them to be. For me, two mats work perfectly for my garage. Also, they're over 20 years old! I hope this helps out!

Oh so these are from mancino ?

The irony is absolutely ridiculous! 😂 Thanks man! 🙏

There are so many people I could’ve added to this, but I knew I couldn’t leave some of my MJJA fam out. Thanks for watching brother!

Me too! I hope one day that we can have them all back together again.

You’re gonna make me cry 😭 I’m coming back! Just had to step away from UA-cam for a bit. Still training tho!

I’m super glad you got something from this! This and his mount instructional are probably the best I’ve gotten so far, it really gave me Thor’s hammer to solidify my top pin game that I had been missing for so long.

🤣 It was a bit heart breaking actually.

Thank you! There are a lot of things that I could’ve done better, but being able to look back on this recording definitely gives me a better insight on the things I’ve needed to work on. Can’t wait to compete again!

Definitely!

Definitely! I haven’t uploaded much since April. The new gym I’ve been attending has a lot of pro mma fighters, so I’ve wanted to be respectful toward their recording policy. The reason I mention this is because I really like showing these moves and chains during a live roll just to show that they work. I’ve studied a good bit of Gordon’s instructionals since this video, I’ll definitely do what I can to get back in the UA-cam game! 🤙

Thanks man! 😂 💪

Systematically Attacking from Top Pins, Mount.

Thanks!

That is the murder sauce on top! Thank you! That was super dope!!

For real man!! It works on all belt levels as long as the timing is right, it’s a guard passing hack. 😂

Huge detail! Thanks man! 🤙

Damn thanks

Now I love that title. 😂

Head control really is everything when it comes to establishing a dominant pin. Even in side control, the top head and arm is one of the most dominant forms of a side control pin because it gives you complete control of their head and shoulders. Similarly for mount, if I, the top player, can manipulate the spine by controlling his head, it makes it nearly impossible to knee elbow escape and bridge to the opposing side. And he can nearly forget about escaping if his arm is also isolated above his head. During the last three months of solely focusing on escapes, that has been my biggest success getting out of bad situations, denying my partner of head control.

@@StrongBroBJJ Thx Now I know what I have to concentrate on. Great 👍 video.

Thank you! It’s an escape I’ve been working on. The Kipping escape gives me a great opportunity to go into counter attacks rather than just putting him back in a mutual position like guard. It’s a tough one to master, but it has been effective even against some brown belts I’ve rolled with.

@@StrongBroBJJ I agree. The difference between us white belts and higher level belts is that they are sweeping and escaping to counterattack rather than finding a neutral position.

I have gotten the privilege to watch both of their back attack instructionals. While I think they were VERY similar, there were some minor differences. One of the best parts about Gordon’s instructionals is the fact that he does positional rounds at the end, showing the moves and concepts he taught during live scenarios. I would love to get John’s mount or side control instructional and compare the two.

John teaches to the average layman so you can really understand. Gordon just goes right into super super specific scenarios and theres like 20mins for each super specific position with the opponent. in my opinion gordons instructionals are too hard to fully digest and internalize for basically everyone including blackbelts. gordons instrucitonals are just stupid, hes not normal mentally, he has an insane memory and both john and gary talk about this. In my opinion unless you are a fully time bjj pro or have an IQ of 120 plus, go with john first and use gordons for trouble shooting specific situations you are stumped on that john doesnt go over, granted you can find them within the complexity of his videos

THAT IS DOPE!! How long have y’all been training? My dad is the one that got me into it.

@@StrongBroBJJ we have been training for about 2 months now it’s amazing

I’m excited for you. Stick with it! You’re gonna be somewhere in 10 years, so you might as well be a black belt! You won’t regret it. I wish I stuck with it when I was younger, but I’m glad I’m doing it again. What’s your favorite move so far?

I literally practiced the same thing on mine too the other day. 😂

I’m definitely considering John’s side control series to see if there are some different things to pick up. I did a full study on Gordon’s mount instructional which is very similar. My main focus over the next several months is escaping bad positions. I’ve been working on back escapes since my last competition, and I’m amazed how just a few details from Gordon’s instructional helped my back escapes tremendously, even against guys who are so much further ahead of me.

@@StrongBroBJJ solid, definitely haven't sharped my escapes in a bit of time it they're always good to drill. Good luck and have fun! I saw your mount video awhile back and enjoyed it as well. I'm waiting to see if someone will do a comparison between Gordon and Danahers mount instructionals then the same thing on the side control. Ya know, money is always tight, can't drop cash on all 4 haha

You sure ain't lying about the money part. Gotta make a bigger gap between these instructionals, especially since he's releasing a new one once every couple months. 😂 John's is cheaper but you get primarily the same quality information. I could compare their back attack instructionals! I already had John's, and one of my coaches let me watch Gordon's, and they're mostly the same exact concepts with minor differences. I do like that Gordon displays the moves he taught during a live roll at the end. I feel like it gives a better outlook on what to expect doing these live.

That’s a huge compliment! Thank you! 😊

@@StrongBroBJJ your welcome man love it

​@@StrongBroBJJmate I know this is old but even your first bit on principles was gold. I'm gonna focus on this as I often end up on side but with the opponent having strong frames. Nice one

No problem! 👍

That is awesome dude! Really good insight on the Kimura finishing mechanics. I can definitely vouch that the kimura is a great way to set up the north south choke! Their hands are busy trying to defend the kimura but it leaves their neck exposed. If used as a submission alone, sure it's a strong man move, but it opens up so many other opportunities like falling to a T kimura into back takes, transitions to arm bars and side triangles (such as this one in the video), it's a great position all around. I will definitely play around with Chris Brennan's finishing mechanics and see how much of a difference it makes.

Thanks Mike! It really is the bread and butter of the instructional. It seems like majority of the attacks branched off this one chain and could be set up in multiple different ways, such as the step over far side arm bar that I’ve done for years. I never thought of using a kimura grip first to stabilize the position before switching to a 3/4 Juji, or going back to this same attack sequence from there.

Thank you!! 💪

Compliments don’t come better than that! Haha!! Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much! I hope to do more of these. I’m studying his back escapes right now and he just released pin escapes. They’re coming way too fast. 😂
