Hook sweep detail learned here.
My Opponent was hunkered back but me throwing my head back worked like a charm after learning it in our Q and A's

Special visit from Professor Jack Taufer. Recently, kuzura kesa gatame has been a position many of us have been working on. See you at tomorrow's Q&A session. (Premium members look in the classroom next week for some techniques that Professor Jack shared)

@Nick Milla I played around little with it but I couldn’t trap the elbow I could only trap the wrist. If I loop my hand outside and start connecting my elbow to the ground I don’t see how they can trap it but I will explore some more in tomorrows lives.
Escape follow up
Been playing with this escape from chill position modified kazuri kesa. Improved some things. Be cool to share everyone’s insights and feedback on this escape. It’s how we all get better and learn.

@Nick Milla I played around with this today with Jack Taufer. Hopefully @Andy DeJesus will post a clip soon.

During my visit to see Professor James yesterday, I asked him some questions about breathing, injury prevention and rehabilitation. Please like or leave a comment if this is material that you are interested in.

Week in review
Good Morning All. Today I'm heading over to see my Martial Blade Instructor for running knife fighting drills. It has been a good week running gun drills and paring up with a BJJ coach to do even more drills. I'm a self defense all around guy. Who else here might get into more self defense applications than BJJ?

Me. Love my weapons training. My friend @Jason Cruz just gave me an amazing kali knife lesson. 👊

I am honored to assist grandmaster Rickson Gracie in sharing jiu jitsu concepts of self defense that guide us on and off the mats.
