Another awesome submission from the 2026 ADCC World Championships.

Ruslan Abdulaev hit a really slick armbar from turtle against Chris Wojcik in the open weight division.

Wojcik was controlling the wrist, so Abdulaev reached over the arm, grabbed the bicep and jumped over, using his shin behind the head to force the roll.

A really cool way to turn the turtle position into an armbar. 🥋

These are three of the most important mount escapes every beginner should learn.

✅ Trap & bridge escape
✅ Hip post & bridge escape
✅ Bridge & shrimp escape

If you’re new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’re going to spend some time stuck underneath mount. That’s part of the learning process.

These three escapes will give you reliable options to survive, create space, and work your way back to a better position. They work in both gi and no-gi and should be part of every white belt’s game.

Which mount escape has saved you the most?

Hard to believe now, but Gordon Ryan says there was a time he nearly walked away from jiu-jitsu.

In this clip from Jake Shields’ Fight Back Podcast, Gordon shares the story of almost quitting, along with a few funny memories from his early days on the mats.

It’s a good reminder that even the greatest athletes have moments where they question whether they should keep going.

🎥 Clip from Fight Back Podcast – Episode 15 with Gordon Ryan, available free on YouTube.

What do you think? Would no-gi grappling look completely different if Gordon had quit?

“I just saved you $400.” 😂

Greg Souders makes an interesting point about how complicated we can make Jiu-Jitsu.

You can spend hours watching instructionals trying to memorize dozens of different leg lock positions, entries, and finishes.

Or you can understand some basic concepts:

• Outside, inside, or mixed foot position
• Keep your partner’s leg on one side of your center line
• Use rotation to expose the heel
• Maintain connection to your partner
• Then actually practice solving these situations against resistance

The knowledge matters, but you don’t develop leg lock skill by watching someone else do leg locks.

Put yourself in the positions, try to maintain connection, solve the problems, and learn from what your training partner gives you.

The good old days. Fit Plus Tournament, 2010.

Looking back, I’m grateful for every local tournament I entered as a white belt and blue belt. Those competitions weren’t just about medals. They were where I built experience, confidence, and learned how to perform under pressure.

Those weekends competing around the Maritimes helped prepare me for much bigger stages, including the IBJJF World Championships.

If you want to become a great competitor, there’s no shortcut—you have to compete. Every match is a chance to learn, improve, and sharpen your sword.

I asked AI to show me what I’d have looked like in the ’80s and ’90s… 😆

Now I’m wondering if I missed my true calling as an extra in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. 😎

Which look wins?
