Basically anytime I walk around in public with my Gi 🤣

Started in at the end of 2010 when I was 19. 32 now, took some time off due to injury and just being out of it after recovering, but was missing it too much to stay away

Rod is a great guy, nice to have you here buddy 🤘

I've been working on a few things lately, Coming up with more options from T-guard depending on what reaction my opponent gives. I taught a bunch of sweeps from there, but starting to get into some submissions from there as well. Using a collar drag grip/set up is a great way to set up a loop choke from there as one of the things I'm experimenting with. Also I have been working on my own spin (no pun intended) to a kimura trap system, but from the bottom. Lastly, I have been working lots on guillotine choke, and incorporating it into my game more. I have always struggled with this submission until recently. I made a few changes to how I lock it in and apply pressure and it has totally changed this submission for me. Ironically I use way less effort and strength to finish it now, but it is 100x more effective.

@Darius Wood @Drew Weatherhead I should specify, arm-in guillotine. I used to struggle with that version in particular. But, I'll take a video soon to post here and show some of the adjustments I've made. The main things I adjusted are: - My hand placement and using my thumb bone to block the carotid artery - Really shifting out to the side while bringing their head to the floor - Using my arm around their head to bring his head in towards their core - To finish I'm actually collapsing inwards, as opposed to pulling on their neck - If done correctly, I just hold the position for a few seconds and they cannot breathe + it cuts off circulation to their brain
