Hello Stephan.. I have more questions for you: When do you decide between sweeping via a technical standup with their leg on your shoulder versus using x-guard sweeping them over / around you and then rolling into side control/mount? Thank you, LLAP

also just to add on to this. in octopus half guard the same movement can be used. also if someone has side control on you and you push his elbow away marcelo garcia teaches an escap from there. also bernardo faria in deep half guard he goes for the faria sweep but if they move all their weight to the other side and you cant sweep them then it opens up the turkish get up 😌 its a very good movement 👍

Turkish get-ups FTW. Do you follow Mark Wildman by any chance, Stephan?

I remember that video That's when I started You were a pioneer of online teaching Thank yoi for sharing all these years!!!!

And, how much random shit can you know? Black belt, fire fighter, shockingly knowledgeable on authoritarianism and on the right side of the issue. Doin Canada proud. 🤙🏼

Ok, but where does one get a Star Trek Rashie?

First!

It's better to do twice a week with failure than to do four times a week without failure.

I invented this 15 years ago

Just had my hip replaced (resurfaced) 1 week ago, this guys description of the first week is similar to my experience so far, except I was told by the doctor to not do the exercises that he did right away (no leg abduction at all, no bridge/plank, only 75% weight for 6 weeks). Also Tylenol was fine for my pain, most of the pain is when you try to move, not much when sitting still. But 1 pain pill at night helps tremendously with sleep. DO stay in the hospital overnight. Even though you won't sleep well, the first 24 hours are pretty rough and the pros of the hospital outweigh the cons. I personally had super low blood pressure the first ~24 hours and could not stand up more than a few seconds because of it, apparently this happens in up to 90% of cases. I felt ill the first couple of days, just completely drained, but there was steady improvement and now at 1 week I feel significantly better and things are improving steadily. It's so weird when the joint pain is just magically gone, but it's replaced by different pain. I would describe it like not working out for a year, then doing a million squats. The muscles just hurt to use, especially at first. But it's improving every day so far.

What if the have you in mount position and the are forearm choking you, or you don’t have them in full mount?

Chris is the man

At first I'd always watch this seminar style videos from famous trainers, with hours of advanced content, but I never actually found them very helpful and maybe that's just my level. But I love that your videos are foundational, simple and effective. You can apply these things right away and don't need crazy follow ups to finish them or counter your opponent's counters. I also like training almost exclusively BJJ that also keeps an opponents hands busy (or far away) for self-defense situations. I actually find it kinda crazy that people often say that guard isn't good in the streets. I get it, you don't want to go to the ground in-case there are multiple attackers, but what if you fall and get crowded? Or what if, like in most cases, there aren't 10 guys with knives and guns and bullet proof vests attacking you? These basic guards are very effective and getting up while taking an opponent down, while also keeping your head far away. More modern, sportified guards, such as KGuard and others, don't do this as effectively imo. Anyways, thanks for the good tips, these videos should get way more views!

Bjj-how gay men exercise.

Dont drive forward, you'll loose squeeze potential. Instead lift the overhook arm's elbow

Your hip looks like it's moving great steph

I'm about to have a hip replacement will I still be able to train bjj . I'm 54 blue belt been a big fan of your vids. How are you now. Hope you can find the time to respond as I'm getting really down. Good luck steph

UFC should allow kicks and knees to downed opponents. Grapplers have no risk for failing takedowns, so they just endlessly shoot, ruining the sport. Ultimately, fighting is also a spectacle, for an audience, without which, the UFC would not exist. No one wants to watch you wrestling fruits sniff each other's crotches for 5 rounds. It's boring and effeminate. Stand and strike.

Simple times. 😢

Good stuff!!

I don't see the sit out. It looks more like a back step to me. 🤔

Penalties.

excellent drill. i dont know what year that was but i think maybe back then the knee shield wasnt really as common as it is today. now it has proven to be very effective so we see everyone using it. im gonna add this drill to my game. except ill only do it going one way since im only good at half guard on one side LOL so it would be pointless for me to go back to the other side 😂

Wow what a beautiful adventure. Powerful stuff well done.

OG

LMAO!!! That rash guard is EPIC dude!

You definitely looked like hitman agent 47 back in the day lol

Escaping is academic. Back to school we go.

Really great 👍🏼 details…

this is nice. next level wizardry.

This is excellent because it incorporates concepts into the specific techniques and ties it all together

Wonder how brandons doin?

I love the last one, finish it usually with a hip bump sweep.

I'm no expert but you're almost turned around and can be strangled, plus your left arm is in a vulnerable position to be restrained and you end up in a very unstable position.

Evolution, love to see this in old channels.

Old video I never get tired of watching !

This is great thanks 😊

Looks like Aikido's kokyunage

This guy looks like he crawled out of a trailer park in Alabama….but great vids!

Thank you 09/2024

Thank you 09/2024

Your videos are great. More please

It's a beautiful spectrum from closed guard to half guard to bottom side. It's simply a powerful type of underhook 👍

Its very unreasonable, but I really hate this throw for injuring my shoulder. Tori forced it too much and grinded my shoulder into the ground beyond reasonable scoring.

Any chance of the "Wolverine" doing any new courses or filming with you Stephan...???

Cool.

Is this an older video from many years ago?
