Concepts and Principles
I sent this directly to V and Fritz but I’m gonna post it in here to support this medium. Alright question I was thinking about yesterday while watching a Gordon instructional: How do I approach learning the rules for positions? I’m just gonna kind of ramble and hopefully you all get what I’m saying but I know general concepts (attacking the upper can expose the lower and vice versa, turn your face away from a rear naked, you want your leg side leg over the head side leg in 3/4 juji) but like how do I learn the overarching principles/concepts to know these things without being explicitly told? For example, Gordon was talking about Darces and being on bottom you wanna turn your face slightly into the choke to avoid them gaining access to your jaw line to basically can opener you for the choke. I was surprised because I was thinking well that’s the opposite of the RNC, is this because you’re facing the opposite direction and the choke’s going in backwards? Then you get into ecological stuff with topics of centerline, and how there’s certain things for yourself you want in your centerline and things you don’t want, but you also want your opponents limbs to be in your centerline for armbars and such. Do you all see where I’m at, and have any suggestions?

Goomey Intro
Howdy! My names Gabriel, everyone calls me Goomey (it’s my last name). I’m 25 years old and a white belt. I started training about three years ago at 10p Richmond AFS under Scott Elliot, but Adam was primarily who I received instruction from. I trained Tuesday/Thursday and occasional open mats while I was working full time hours, flight training, college, and managing everything else life entails. Once I became a flight instructor, I took a year off to focus on my career, then Adam announced he was opening 10p Berea and it happened to be the perfect time for me to get back into training. Paid for my year, and the rest has been history. I don’t get to train as often as I wish I could, but it makes it that much better when I can. I’ve since moved on from being a flight instructor to flying Falcons for a private investment firm. Biggest perk is training across the US at different 10p’s. Pleasure to be here! Favorite submission: RNC Favorite Position: The back 😂 Work In Progress: Everything (but focused on front headlock defense/counter offensive work, outside/inside passing, and upper body/lower body dilemmas from standing and open guard)

Passing X-Guard
I’ve been running into a problem passing X-Guard and wanted to get some feedback. Experience Level: Purple belt Position: Opponent playing standard X-Guard Problem: When I try to step my trapped leg free, my opponent off-balances me and either sweeps or transitions into single leg X. What I’m currently doing: • Trying to control the top leg with my hands • Attempting to step my free leg back to create base • Looking to clear the hook and move into a headquarters-style position Question: Is the key here more about controlling their top leg, or should I be focusing on changing my angle before trying to free the leg? Curious how others prefer to approach X-Guard passing.

Introduction
I earned my blue belt in 2024 from category five BJJ in Hurricane, West Virginia. I currently work a decent paying blue collar job (auto detailing). Shameless self plug, but you can find me @Caleb_the_grappler on Instagram. Fav position: Mount or any leg entanglement. Fav submission: Inside heel hook, or RNC. What I'm currently working on: Bodylock/ Half guard passing, and general strength and conditioning.
