Whaaaaaaaht?! This is awesome. If I’m on passing from standing (trying) I’m defending in half guard. This is a great set of often overlooked details. Many thanks, Travis!

Thanks Travis! I just realized how I have been screwing myself by simply trying to control the crossface arm at the wrist.

Hi Travis, I would like to start practicing judo but I am 45 years old. What do you think of people over 40 who start judo and what would be your advice. Thanks a lot. Regards from Montreal. Never give up. OSU

I started jiujitsu at 37. Best thing that happened to me. Only thing I can advice is go easy on every class because your joints and back are very valuable… don’t hurt yourself just to win a scrap. Train technique only and you’ll soon be better than those that are using a lot of strength, it allows you to train more often since it takes less for your body to recover
