Thanks and enjoy your week.

| | | | Many BJJ practitioners do not know how to go slow when training and sparring in Jiu Jitsu. However, how many times have you seen top level practitioners just roll slowly and everything seems to flow really well? You even see many Black Belts do flow drills. So why don’t all BJJ practitioners know how to slow roll or perform slow rolling BJJ? In our opinion, it’s because they have not been taught.

We asked at our Facebook Fan Page...
For you to comment on a photo as to whether a practitioner should cross their ankles when attempting an armbar on an opponent. Your overall response was a resounding "no" unless you were a high level practitioner. Some of you even cited Ronda Rousey and the fact that she does cross her ankles in her past 6 armbar submissions. Nevertheless, we thank you for your contribution to answering the question posed. More questions next week

| | | | If you’re a student of BJJ and you’ve been training for any length of time, you will no doubt have been put into a choke by your opponent or training partner before. Whether it’s the RNC or any of the other plethora of chokes, there is little doubt that in competition, or even training for that matter, you neck will have ended up in a blood choke (different to an asphyxia choke which are those that obstruct airflow, commonly by way of windpipe compression).
