Coach i went to my first competition in Rome and i won gold . I wanted to thank you for all these advices and keep up the good work ;)

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Awesome work Angelo! I am super happy for you, great job! Enjoy your medal and have fun on the mats (-: Coach Tom

[@RTSurf5000]

Glad you used a bigger guy for the demo. I've seen a lot of other videos who use a smaller guy and it's laughable. thanks for the mental breakdown as well...spending time getting squashed while performing a task helps! looking forward to giving this a go Coach! can't say enough Thanks!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thank you! Have fun trying this on the mats (-: Coach Tom

Great video. Any advice on how to prevent the mount from happening while working for the lapel? Thank you for making this stuff available.

I kept thinking that was Jean Reno sitting next to Coach.

When you make the top light due to pulling the kimono, is there a reason to not bridge and sweep the opponent by turning into them and taking side control?

[@Axel-uc4uw]

What the name of this trick?

[@motojits6300]

I really could have used this yesterday! Lol I was in open roll and most of the people are much heavier. I roll with one guy that is my height but double my weight (I'm a skinny dude).

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

As a really lanky guy myself, I know the feeling! Hopefully this saves you some headaches on the mats (-: Coach Tom

[@motojits6300]

The Grappling Academy Thanks I hope so too! I do plan on working out soon, I really need a little more power. Lol

[@dimecanal]

im tecnical but the heavy guy at my school i really want to loose they weight so they have no more excuses lol

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Great stuff! Having been both heavy and light myself, it is handy when they have no excuses! You also find out where your weight or strength were hiding lapses in technique. Although if you are technical and heavy I am sure you are a nightmare for students on your mat! (-: Happy rolling - Coach Tom

[@dimecanal]

yes , they kind of hate rolling with me sometimes it feels bad , but im working on loosing the weight thank you very much for the videos .... im learning alot
