🔥 CROSS GUARD TO OMOPLATA TO ARMBAR! 🔥

One grip. Multiple attacks. No wasted movement! 🥋

Using Alberto Crane's Cross Guard system, we turn a simple closed guard with a cross-sleeve grip into a dangerous attacking sequence.

👊 Hip Bump Omoplata Sweep ➡️ Omoplata ➡️ Armbar!

The beauty of this system? Every attack creates an opening for the next.

Stop chasing submissions. Start chaining attacks!

🔥 TRAIN LIKE A FIGHTER. CONDITION LIKE A CHAMPION! 🥋

The Kettle-Jitsu Ninja Circuit is no joke! 💪

Using my signature Pyramid Training Format from my KB Strength & Conditioning program, this circuit pushes your anaerobic conditioning to the limit!

The goal? Mimic the cardiovascular demands of a real fight. Explosive movements, short recovery periods, and sustained intensity that challenges your strength, endurance, and mental toughness.

🏆 I lost 20 lbs in just 2 months and went on to win the No-Gi Worlds at featherweight!

This isn't just about burning calories. It's about building the kind of conditioning that carries over to the mats!

🔥 Build explosive strength
🔥 Improve anaerobic endurance
🔥 Burn fat and improve conditioning
🔥 Perform better when fatigue kicks in

🔥 STOP GETTING YOUR GUARD PASSED! 🥋

Your guard is only as good as your ability to KEEP IT!

If you can't retain or recover your guard, you're constantly playing defense instead of attacking with sweeps and submissions!

💥 ULTIMATE GUARD RECOVERY PROGRAM 💥

I've put together almost 30 essential techniques to help you:

✅ Improve your guard retention
✅ Recover your guard when opponents pressure forward
✅ Shut down guard passes
✅ Develop better mobility, frames, and positioning
✅ Create more opportunities for sweeps and submissions

Remember, you can't sweep or submit someone if you can't keep them in your guard!

🥱 LEG LOCK HUNTING IS MAKING BJJ BORING! 🥋

After watching UFC BJJ, I'm more convinced than ever that watching competitors constantly hunt for leg locks makes for some extremely boring matches. And I don't see our sport winning many new fans that way.

Rickson Gracie once said leg locks felt like cheating because they were so easy. I think there's something to that!

That's why guys like Andrew Tackett and Andy Varela are so exciting to watch! They go for takedowns, guard passes, sweeps, and submissions. They showcase the full range of skills that make Jiu-Jitsu exciting!

💰 MY PROPOSAL FOR

Offer cash bonuses for exciting submissions like chokes, armbars, triangles, and kimuras.

🚫 NO BONUSES FOR LEG LOCKS!

I'm not saying ban leg locks. Keep them legal. But let's incentivize athletes to showcase more of what makes Jiu-Jitsu such an incredible martial art!

🔥 Effective Jiu-Jitsu doesn't always equal entertaining Jiu-Jitsu!

What do you think? Would submission bonuses make UFC BJJ more exciting?

🥋 A proud moment on the mats today.

I had the honor of promoting two Burbank Police officers to their first stripe on their white belts.

I have a lot of respect for officers who take the initiative to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The better trained an officer is in controlling and restraining someone safely, the less they have to rely on force when things get physical.

Jiu-Jitsu builds confidence, composure and the ability to control a situation without unnecessarily hurting someone — making the job safer for the officer AND the community.

Congratulations Rory and Bobby on earning your first stripe! 👏🥋 Keep training — this is just the beginning. 👊

Headlocks don’t work… if you know how to escape them! 👊

Kesa Gatame is one of the most basic positions in Jiu-Jitsu—and you CANNOT skip these basics. Master the fundamentals and you’ll always have an answer.
