Coach Tom is the best teacher. Can’t wait to plan a visit to Australia and go personally thank him for taking my game from chicken shit to chicken salad.
It's crazy that I learn way more off youtube videos, compared to going to class. I feel like they created the classes that way, to keep people from obtaining belts very quickly.
I don't think it's that. I feel that jujitsu classes need to be for the entire class. If you wanted to fast track through jujitsu you'd need to hire a personal black belt to teach you from the ground up at your own personal pace. I feel like I learned more from these videos too because it goes to the most basic of things which they don't really focus on in class because everybody ranges in skill level
Great Video, I love getting to mount but have struggled in the past with either being rolled or not being able to finish. these tips resulted in instant improvement. Thank you.
thank you, this was so enriching, my background is striking only basically; most videos are either super specific so it goes over my head, or are painfully fragmented in 7 videos of 3 or 4 min. with intro, exposition, contextualization, recapitulation all over again for each aspect. thanks, really appreciated!!
MAN!!!! love you channel! Thank you so much. I love how you are breaking down positions and options with fundamentals. I love how you teach. Really amazing. I like that you aren't just focusing on moves and instead giving overall views of the positions. Thank you!
Awesome topic ! I'm actually releasing a video tomorrow on not getting your foot caught while trying to go for mount and working the high mount. I will put a link to this video in the description as well 🤙oh and loved your one on one interview with the guy in Texas😂
@@TheGrapplingAcademy I really wish I was but all my extra $ is still going into the academy. Hopefully next year🤙 I seen you are already signed up, we will all be rooting for you at Leviathan Academy
Great video. A question though, if you keep your knees wider, couldn't the opponent do an elbow escape? I've seen some videos where they discuss the importance of keeping knees tight to prevent this.
I was in my full guard some kid try to cross lapel choke me. He just gave me his arms so I armbar him. He thought I was a blue belt lol. Just a higher white belt 😅 I was teaching that kid the whole roll
Does anyone have opinions on this for shorter legged people? I find that if I'm mounted on heavier people my knees don't touch the ground. If they're skinnier, my knees touch but I can't always spread my knees out creating the larger base. I'll try looping my ankles underneath their bottom would like some suggestions/thoughts. Thank you.
Just swim your arms in and never let their feet cross in front of you so keep your head lower and your hips pressing back more to prevent this situation often found with flexible or lanky grapplers escaping mount. (-: Tom Davey
I post with two hands and press down with my hips in mount. Even after doing that, I get bumped so hard that I end up in bottom closed guard. What could be wrong?

I always love having visitors down. Loved the comment. lmao (-: Tom Davey
"Here comes the cross choke!" - Lol! Funny, but effective...
Haha I know, that was my favorite part👍
This channel is so underrated.
I'm a huge fan of your videos brother, keep up the good work!
Guiller Vilcar Amen! Tom is super legit. He is one of the best teachers out there along with Jon Boone (black belt under Cobrinha)

@@mrdune5479 , Not everyone is Mark Zuckerberg. A lot of places have beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes.

S-mount: 5:01 Armbar: 5:45(thumb facing up knees squeezed) Americana: 6:23(don't do it too slow)

Love those small little details you show us that change the entire perspective of how we understand positions Tom. Oss bro!
Awesome lesson! As an absolute beginner, learned a lot. Thanks!
Thank you I will try to apply some of this, I find myself getting to mount often but not finishing often enough for how much I get there.
Your way to teach is amazing! Great video as usually.

When holding rear mount? Where should you have your stronger arm? Under or over shoulder?
Great video! Is your Blue Belt Curriculum - Super Series a video instructional course?
Yes its one of the video download series' on my website thegrapplingacademy.com Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey
The Grappling Academy Great, looking forward to it!
Great video, the auto focus kept going in and out
can you some follow up about your partner inverting in your high mount?

@@TheGrapplingAcademy yeah long lanky guys try this often. thanks, i will try it
How do you maintain that high mount
Hi please close the auto fox and colour in the camera.

Wide hands wide knees and try adding a cross face and undertook!
