  • I first learned about tsubos back in the early 80's from Larry Hartsell, what a character and teacher, it was such a brutal compliment to one's grappling.

  • RIP Sifu Hartsell.

    The man with the nastiest neck cranks I've ever experienced.

  • For mma these would be great, but for BJJ, I would disqualify someone for doing this. It falls under the pressure point rule. I'd do it in a street fight in a heart beat, definitely gets peoples attention.

  • Although we attempt to present information that can serve in multi-role applications (Submission Wrestling, Jiu-jitus, Self Defense, etc.) our primary focus has always been MMA. We believe that although there are many composite arts that have value for MMA, that MMA should also be seen as it's own unique art with it's own unique techniques, tactics and applications.

  • Then why go for a Kimura where one can spin really fast, slip, and likely get out? Elbows are more efficient to the face from side control. And then again from the back position. No bother giving an elbow strike to the spine in a fight, when you can use a pressure point to get the guy to move. But then again, what do I know?

  • Because every technique has a time and place. I think elbows are great. Especially early in a round. But with maybe 10 seconds left why not go for a Kimura?  I'd say your chances of finishing are probably higher than with elbows in that span of time. Also, we ask professionals what their opinions are. When they are kind enough to give them, we just let the cameras roll and try to learn what they are teaching.

  • Dim mak, Kyusho Jitsu

  • IT'S GREEN GLOVES!

  • I learned those back in the mid 80's from Hartsell. There are many more where those came from! In catch you'll here lots of grunting noises, in BJJ its practically quite. There's a comfort zone in BJJ where catch has none.

  • 5:08 LOL!

  • This is the best video for entertainment value. Ben does a great job with the video putting it on.

  • i used the side control rib press to kamura in practice tonight and it worked beautifly in practice
