For those who know me, they know that guillotines are one of  my top submissions.  I love them and I hit them from so many  different positions and so many different situations.

That’s what I love about zoning in on a particular submission  or move and working hard to make it my own because then it then becomes your specialty and you start discovering so many more ways to use it to your advantage.

In this video I talk about how I actually set up the guillotine submission from half guard on the bottom, especially when my  opponent starts to overhook me arm that is underhooking theirs.

This set-up works so well for me because many people have no  idea that I’m even about to attack for it.

PLUS I also dabble in some other concepts and ideas as well to help give you some ideas on other things you can do and ways of making your attack even better as well such as:

- Some sweep and other quick options from the same situation
- Concept of where your opponent’s head should be from half guard when attacking the guillotine
- How I position my hand/arm and how I move my body when I am working to complete the submission as well.

I hope it’s helpful and gives you some ideas to add to your game.

Free WEEK at Gracie Barra Knoxville
Reasons to be part of the premier school in Tennessee

1. Train with Samuel Braga.

Professor Braga is a 6 time world champion and 2nd degree black belt, and personally teaches every class. No other instructor in the area can take your game to the level that he can.

2. Gracie Barra Knoxville offers 18 classes a week the best price for a world level instruction.

I was sure that training with Professor Braga would be too expensive for me, but his rates are absurdly affordable. Gracie Barra Knoxville wants to give everyone an opportunity to experience the benefits of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

3. Gracie Barra curriculum deftly addresses all students’ needs, from self-defense to weight loss to competition.

Gracie Barra Knoxville focuses on a holistic approach to jiu-jitsu, teaching self-defense, takedowns, ground work, and mixes it all together with live training that is sure to meet every student’s goal.

4. No registration fee.

Again, Professor Braga does not want money to be the reason that you do not experience jiu-jitsu.

5. Be part of the world’s largest Brazilian jiu-jitsu organization.

Gracie Barra is a world renowned jiu-jitsu team with facilities and elite grapplers all over the planet.

So come train with us! I promise you will see improvement in your game and in your life.

One thing about the triangle choke though is that you don’t actually get it sunk in perfectly very often.  Most of the time it starts with you catching your opponent’s head and arm with your legs, which basically looks like your have your ankles or shins crossed and then you have to make adjustments to finish the choke. All while your opponent is still fully resisting you.

Last month I competed in the Advanced Division of Grapplers Quest and I was able to get a triangle choke in one of my matches, this was not without a little work and some adjustments though.

So in this e-mail I share with you a video where you will see a 3 minute clip of me competing and working to finish the triangle choke until I finally got it.  I have some voice over, did some slow motion repeats, and zoomed into parts as well over the competition clip so you can see a bit better.  Then following the competition clip I also do a breakdown of what happened so you could get even more ideas.

One thing I had to deal with was my opponent tucking his arm down to the side which many of you know can be a pain in the butt.  I didn’t do anything fancy but there where some adjustments that I made to increase my chances of actually still finishing the submission.

This is one of my longer videos.  I think closer to 11 minutes, but it’s broken down to two parts so if you don’t have time to catch the whole thing you can come back to the second part later.

P.S. Thank you to all of the people who jumped on board of the Grapplers Guide 2.0. I’m not sure when it’ll be back open again, probably within 3 to 6 months again minimum but if you’d like to get on the waiting list you can here: http://www.grapplersguide.com/waitinglist

The first thing that I like to point out is that my game is VERY underhook dependent. I understand that the Darce is a very common submission attempt and that is why I named this move The Anti Darce but in reality this move can be used any time your opponent takes an overhook.

When your opponent starts to fish in that overhook to get the Darce you CAN NOT let them break down the neck. If you lose posture on your head you’re probably going to get Darced. If you can get control of your opponents wrist before he/she locks their arms into the Darce Grip then you will most likely get the sweep. Please reference the video to see what I’m talking about.

Once you have locked up that wrist grip (with your tricep on your opponents bicep) you have a VERY powerful grip, if not the most powerful grip (in my opinion) and it is time to abuse your opponent. Make sure you do not bridge your opponent over. I have seen this taught by a couple of different people and they always bridge their bodies. It may work doing it this way, especially against an opponent who’s body size is similar to yours, but against a larger opponent you can run into some problems. Make sure that you complete this sweep by moving the hips. The hip motion is a 180 degree hip movement. It does not have to happen in one smooth movement, you can break it down into smaller pieces.

Make sure to watch the video to hear about some of the dangers associated with this sweep.

REMEMBER IT’S ABOUT THE HIPS!

The company has a great, simplistic goal…to get you gi pants as easy as possible. With high quality pants at an unbeatable price with not only free shipping…..but a 6 months guarantee. Holy crap!

Wolverine lives in the gym… metaphorically of course, but if anyone has seen the Draculino Budo Videos Rolled Up episode that brandon was featured on….you know that his apartment is deprived of furniture and instead filled with mats, gi’s, jiu-jitsu books and black belt bath robes. So I guess he technically lives in a gym as well.

What does this all mean? It means these guys eat, live, sleep and shit jiu-jitsu and know exactly what a practitioner/competitor is interested in when it comes to Jiu-Jitsu Gi pants….and thats what they bring to you.

On top of being knowledgeable, these guys are hilarious and they do a lot of tongue in cheek comedy youtube advertisements that are fun to watch…here is the newest one.

Gi pants aren’t only for wearing pajamas son! Friction is Your Friend!

It will give you some ideas on some drills you can do on your  own.  My YouTube channel is at http://www.youtube.com/jasculs

In this message I would like to share with you a new drills  video that I created for you, but this time it’s all about partner drills.

If you are a coach, maybe you’ll find some drills that are new to you and you can add them in your classes.

If you are a student and you have the ability to get some extra training in before class, after class, at home, or any other time these would be great for you to do with a partner.

Drills are extremely helpful in helping you improve your movement, agility, balance, coordination, speed, conditioning, and much more.

They also help keep training fun.

These drills that you find are just a very small portion of the  drills I know.  Just like solo grappling drills, I must have well over 300 partner grappling drills recorded in my journal as well.

I write down every new drill idea I come across because then I  also know my workouts, whether they are solo or with someone else, are going to be awesome!

Keep training, and keep living the good life,

Jason Scully
