Shawn Williams: Brilliant Counter To The Hitchhiker

Fantastic- so smooth! Easy to add to your game and counters a common escape-keeping your opponent in danger, great stuff!

Eduardo Telles Guard Pass Reversal

I posted something similar from Marcelo Garcia, but I like the way Telles does it a little better. I think driving the hand under and the lift in the legs makes it more effective, at least for me. Great technique either way! I wish there were more videos of the Octopus guard out there!

Jeff Glover: Darce Against The Single Leg

More Glover gold!

Hip Locks From Side Control

Picked this up on Dstryrsg.com. I've taught these two before, they are both effective but very hard to hit in a live roll, but try them out none the less, just the act of reaching for that foot can get you a favorable reaction from your opponent and get them to stop hipping in. Have fun.

Bad-Ass Technique: The Badger Bite!

Wow, I can't believe I've never seen this before- I am gonna use it a lot! It looks like it'll work perfect with my Guard game! This is one of the best videos I've posted in a while I think- new techniques, funny and effective (and mean).

Shaolin: Deep Half To The Back

If you play Deep Half then this will make a lot of sense- it is a very common position. If you don't play deep half, well, look it up in the tags, watch the videos get a partner and start to learn it!!! Once you're comfortable in the Deep Half this technique will not look complicated at all and I bet you'll be hoitting it all the time!

North South Americana using the legs

I love this move.I use a variation of it all the time, and have been teaching it for at least the last 7 years! There are a few really good, unexpected, options from this position that will be shown on the side control videos we are working on now. Your game Will be better if you learn it and start to incorporate into your game.

Anaconda Variation

I use something like this but different- I guess that's the best way I can describe it- I usually roll to get the north south because I know I can get it and in this case I'm not sure I see where the pressure for the choke happens, but I like variations and obviously that dude is tapping- it's worth mentioning that Raul Gomes is a dope Black Belt competitor, so it's worth paying attention!
