As we all know, the sport of BJJ is always changing and evolving. Every competition is another opportunity to unleash a new move or attack, and the natural response that follows is, "How do we learn said attack and develop a solution for it?" I talk about trends in the sport, both old and new, kids’ BJJ, and staying ahead of the curve. I also discuss my most recent competition (Grappling Industries Vancouver) and some other current issues, such as Derek Moneyberg, Tim Kennedy's stolen valor, Ben Askren, Randy Couture, and antifascist freedom fighters, in the comments section. Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

The coyote half guard is one of the best half guard systems in the sport. It’s is a big part of my game, and I believe every grappler should learn it. I discuss the most important details of the system, half guard fundamentals, how to win the whizzer vs. under hook battle, the dogbar, and shutting down the coyote half guard. The choice is between a sweep or your knee… what would you choose? Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.
