Jiu jitsu fundamentals: Framing. Knowing how to frame properly is important for keeping the space between you and your opponent. The black and white of it is, if you’re on offense you’re trying to collapse space between you and your opponent, and if you’re on defense, you are trying to create space. Framing allows you to protect the space that your opponent is trying to collapse by not giving them the option to do what they want (getting in a more dominant and controlling position).

The overhand right is such a powerful weapon and is sometime underutilized, but is one of my favorites. One way I like to use it is by slipping my opponent’s cross to the outside then coming straight through the middle with that overhand right, driving the knuckles directly into the face.

I’ve talked about triangle chokes before and there are a million ways to set one up. In this clip I talk about one of the easier set ups from guard that ultimately won me this match at NAGA.

Just a quick little combo I like to throw when doing bag work or hitting pads

The overhand right is one of my favorite techniques and works particularly well with my frame (tall, long reach). I like to set it up a few different ways but the one I describe here involves changing levels to fake a lead hook to the body then going over the top with the overhand and connecting to the face. I like this set up because, if getting the reaction you want from your opponent, they will drop their hands instinctually to protect their body, leaving their face exposed for the overhand.

The double jab is an effective tool and very useful for landing meaningful shots on your opponent. You can double jab to the head or body or mix it up, as shown here, starting with a jab to the head then doubling up with a jab to the body. The first jab will have your opponent shelling up and blocking their face, leaving an opening for that second jab to the body.

The question mark kick is one of my favorites and can be very sneaky when executed correctly. I like to throw a couple front kicks to keep my partner’s mind on blocking their body before I change course and whip that thing around to their head. It is very effective and there’s not a whole lot of danger in throwing it.

Using my jab to set up my spinning back fist is my favorite way to throw this technique. Faking a jab first allows my opponent to put up their guard, guarding the front of their face, but leaving the sides open for the spinning back fist to land.

Coaching is something I never envisioned myself doing but as I furthered along in my martial arts journey, I was invited to coach some kids classes at first. This invitation has taken me down a road of permanent coaching (both kids and adults) at the dojo I train at. And the journey has been incredible! I get more gratification watching students compete, pull off moves I’ve taught them, and win than I get from my own competition experience. Overall, the best part about it, is seeing the influence I can have on multiple different people. To train the next generation of martial artists and instill dignity, honor, honesty, and humility in them. But to see them succeed in life? To see how they grow and mature. And to know I had some part in that. That’s why I do it.

I love the Superman punch! More specifically, I like the Superman cross. Which is exactly what I talk about in this video. I love the combination of speed and power, the feint used to get there, and the sneakiness of this strike. I lift the leg to fake a rear kick or knee then use my hip to deliver the power and snap to deliver the speed.

Whenever you find yourself in an armbar, the one thing that may give your opponent the leverage to finish it is to try and pull your arm out. There are times when this is ok but for sake of this video, let’s assume it’s not. Instead of pulling the arm out, ideally, you want to drive into your opponent instead. Because the arm must be straight to finish the armbar and by driving into your opponent and putting pressure on them, you are ensuring your arm stays bent.
