Are these physical dvd's or can they be streamed digitally?

[@sbgipdx]

Your ability to teach is amazing. The perfect amount of detail, focused on the topic in plain speech so it is easy to understand.

[@ricardomazzaseixas7549]

Wonderful details.this invisible techniques makes all diferences on efficiencie. I did years moves that did not work out.And then we see people doing the same moves and it working.So what really makes all the diferences is it.the invisible aspects of the techniques. What I do not like at all, it is competition jiu jitsu mode, because the student does not learn all this fudamental things that really work in a fight. Thank you for you share all this awesome details and fundamental material of Jiu jitsu.

[@kapildhingra20]

Love the idea that all of these cultures share a common thread in their grappling. What kinds of truths are consistent across them?

[@ps3ud0nym]

Awesome details. Have you tried out directional microphones, though? Lapel mic seems kinda unpractical for BJJ.

Thanks.

I love listening to Matt Thornton, and I would love to train with him, but come on, Matt is a big guy, and I'm not saying size is everything and I'm not saying Matt's technique dose not work, but size and strength can help out quite a bit, just an observation. Anyway, keep putting out the good content, I love watching it.

As someone who is a 6'5 290lbs brown belt, if I make this mistake with my shoulders a 140lbs woman can use this (and have) escape.

[@ropongi1008]

@@sbgipdx Yeah, but you can't deny that you have a certain physicality that they (and probably many other people) just don't have. Your body type and all of the physicality that it's endowed with (everything that you are physically capable of) is probably very different from what a lot of other people have, particularly very different from what many other women may have. You can't deny that we are built differently, and there might be certain things that most men are capable of doing that most women may not be as capible of doing, or at least not capible of doing quite as well. We are built different, and there is a difference in our physicality.

I like the scarf hold/kesa escape. I am going to test it on a proper scarf hold that looked like a modified or a poor scarf hold. If it works against a very good scarf hold I am going to teach to my wrestlers. We have been mostly using a backdoor escape to the scarf hold this year but if this works it would put a wrestling in better position for a pin and our jiu-jitsu players would still be able to achieve side mount and improve their position from there.

[@sbgipdx]

It's a sit out. Which is different than a scarf hold, it's not a "poor scarf hold". Main difference being that in a sit out cross sides holds both of the arms, where as a scarf hold is a head and arm.

[@savagecombatives2765]

That is not a sit out. A sit out is an escape technique not a control technique. It is a modified scarf hold/modified Kesa. I coach high school wrestling and sit outs are a regular part of wrestling practice and matches used to escape or combined with a switch score a reversal in a wrestling application. Like I said I like it and will try it out on the scarf hold and the modified scarf hold.

[@sbgipdx]

@@savagecombatives2765 semantics really. If you are chest to chest and sit out with an underhook you find yourself here. Commonly (at least here in PDX) referred to as sit out cross sides. Every time I have heard someone talk about scarf hold it has been a head and arm. But what would I know that's just what I've heard these positions called for the last decade. 😆

What is an Uppa?

[@sbgipdx]

It's the over the shoulder bridge. As apposed to a normal neck bridge.
