if those white belts didnt quit they should be black belts by now
Thank you so much. Recently started rolling and my ribs have been getting crushed! This helps so much
Did this Last night during training after watching this video
this has helped me so much but i gable grip my hands so that one of these freaks doesnt arm bar me
4:46 so gay. "I don't want him coming across my stomach"
Is there a part two to this? I've been taking that position when in side control since day one. My back is still glued to the mat, and I can't kick out my hips. All I can do is lay there ineffectually.
Keith seems like one hell of a nice guy.
wtf 4:20 i can't see
he funny haha
He seems to be an excellent teacher! The explanation sound clear! I need to add this to my training! 😀
keith owen sounds like an amazing professor
wish I could meet him one day !
This guy is excellent at explaing things.
Great information. Make it very comprehensible.
Its funny that some things have so manny different names, I learned the prayer position as the sleep position, when you only keep doing that the teacher then can say: Wake up! So you know that its time to try to get in controll.
If i walked off and got a drink of water my Instructor would go nuts.
addition to this is to shoulder walk to get to the "prayer" position – cus no one on top likes to give away cross face.
Great video tech works well. My issue is you expose yourself to a very easy knee bar from side control.
fuck mitt romney!!
The lesson is, if you have a blackbelt in side: you better pray bitch lol
brandon shaub did that ! after getting knocked out
thank you that helped me out . in both positioning and what i need to do when there trying to get side control.
He is the NICEST teacher I've ever seen!!! Would love to train with him.
Thumbs up if you think this guy is funny :3
