Beautiful!!!

When you post that leg at about 1:20, do you have to worry about him hooking the leg with his own and turning it into half-guard?

awesome, thanks for posting this.

LOVE this video and LOVE this technique. I really like how you show how Roger works this move in a live match and the commentary with it. Really shows that the move works and its effectiveness.

I have two problems A)My opponent uses his bottom hand to block the knee insertion B)As soon as I put my knee up like @ 7:43 the guy rolls me to guard or side control

very nice video will you be uploading some videos of submission from side control ?

[russiarulezz]

Thanks, used it today while rolling several times after watching this video!

Not nit picking here but the title should be "Roger side control breakdown". The title makes it seem like Roger would be teaching the technique when u open the video.

@KevinWood44 fixed. thanks.

Dan, I was taught this tech years ago and your instruction of it is far superior once again to the way I learned it.

I can see the PRESSURE from your partners Facial expressions.... NICE, Thanks again Dan!

Your game is very tight. I always strive for "tightness," but don't always achieve it. I have the most success, though, when I focus on being tight and pull it off.

Love the vids - please keep them coming!

[Dudongo86]

Great details!

[HarimauTerbang]

Awesome. Would you please do a video on how to adjust when the opponent is (1) using the crossface to stop your head to the mat and/or (2) the near arm on the bicep to block the shoulder pressure?

one suggestion i always get upset/disappointed when on an instructional the teacher is like oh let me let some of the pressure off - come on the Alex can deal with it so we make sure its all shown correctly - Alex you will be okay

[TrumpetDanBJJ]

@cv0669 Alex said he almost went to sleep in the half guard pass video so I didnt want to do that again. I dont think visually it had any effect on the instruction rewatching it again. and I used full pressure when demoing the move at 5:20 as seen with his facial expression. lol I will keep the suggestion in mind for future videos though.
