Cobrinha Vid

If you don't know this guy, you should. He's an Alliance blackbelt that has been tearing it up lately. Here's a vid for you to watch if you've got time. Its in Portuguese with Japanese subtitles so if you don't know either of those, you may want to watch it with mute on. Its an instructional covering guard and some advanced sweeps.

Here's a good set of instructionals from Jeff Rockwell. I'm not sure, but I think the rumor mill has it that Jeff just got his black belt. Here's his no-gi choke series:

Back Control

I shot a few vids today covering a few side control escapes and basic chokes.

I found these videos a while back and thought they were great. Bjorn is a good source of information and also has a dvd out called "Position Brabo" where he covers a lot of set ups for the brabo choke.
Here's some clips of him covering no giback control:




Here's some from Twister back control:







Another good source is Tapskilz, aka James Clingerman. Here's a few of his gi videos:

Attacking from top

Ok guys, I'm going to show a few principles/ideas from side control

Here's a vid from John Will about how to open up a person who is very conservative on the bottom side position.



Jean Jacques Machado shows a good way to attack if they clinch tight to you (no-gi).



Again, JJ showing an attack from side. This time he neutralizes one arm before attacking the other.




This last vid is of Rob Kahn. Here he shows the importance of head control.
