BJJ Tips: Using Your Belt to Pass the Half Guard

I wrote a quick post a couple of days ago about unorthodox use of the BJJ belt. It was just a silly joke but I thought I may as well make it up to those who clicked on it expecting some functional BJJ knowledge.

Here is a quick video I shot yesterday at the LABS: Fighting Fit-Manchester of a neat trick where you use your belt to create a leverage that immobilises the opponent’s top arm in half guard, affording you more time to work your guard pass to side control.

The inspiration to this move is Sensei Kashiwazaki’s gem of a Judo book: Osaekomi

Amazing Balls!

Yes I'm a great advocate of Unstable Base Training but I must admit I've never seen anything like this fella:

Mr Abmar Barbosa training on the Swiss-Ball



This is the man who (amongst many other accomplishments) beat Kron Gracie 11-0!

Can you see why?

A big thanks goes of course to Georgette Oden for directing me to this link.

My New Gi has Arrived and More Exciting News!!

I'm so excited.

I want to thank Black Eagle for the excellent service I've received so far (they kept me up-to-date with emails on the progress of my order, without me even chasing them) and to Seymour of Meerkatsu for providing the most detailed British-gi review in the history of ever!

I can't wait to go home and try in on in the mirror :)

Also, yesterday the blog passed the 3000 hits mark. That's very exciting, for me at least.

Here is to another 3000!
