Awesome tutorial I'll have to try some of those especially the wrestlers Bridge

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks, bash. I hope you do, very useful technique to counter the rollback guillotine, or to pass the guard after a takedown. Have fun! - Patrick

[@benjamin08081]

Thank you. I have been doing it wrong since day 1; But NEVER AGAIN!!!😅

[@rollinOnCode]

you should not be bridging with neck bent. especially with weight when turning like that. that is a rib pop

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your comment, Jay. This isn’t BJJ, it’s EMA; I created a new style, one curriculum for striking, wrestling, and grappling; basically a belt system for MMA.
Hope this clarifies 🙏
