Mr. Deeds Sweep ( Very very sneaky!)

This is a variation I use when my opponent is attempting to stand and back out of my guard. Heel control is key here and watch out for the footlock (flying toe-hold)

Gracie Barra legend Marcio Simas showed me this years back and I have come to use this sweep in my everyday game..DRILL IT!!!

Haole Boy Can Scrap!!!

I have been watching Jeff Glover for years now. However, I do not recall ever seeing this compilation of his fights! This guy's half- guard is ridiculous! Another great display of the strengths of Gracie Jiu- jitsu. If this does not get everyone ready for the NAGA tournament....CHECK DA PULSE!!!

ABU DHABI 09

Evereyone needs to give their standing ovation to Braulio Estima. He absolutely killed it at the ADCC this year! Having always been my favorite grappler, I was super- stoked to see him wreck everyone effortlessly...Now get over here and train with us in Hawaii Braulio!!!

Knee-bar from the guard

After causing your opponent trouble from your guard while attempting to pass from his/her knees, another great way to pass is the standing method. While this can be very effective, it can also be countered with a leglock if done correctly and tightly. Once an opponent is hesitant to use the standing pass, one can go back and forth between different attacks from the guard..DRILL IT..ALOHA!

Island Jiu-jitsu's Video Favorites

This is a highlight video of Rubens Charles (an absolute bad-ass). His style is super technical and tournament oriented. I would love to see him venture into the MMA world as some of his fellow competitors have.(Andre Galvao, Roger Gracie, and Demian Maia to mention a few)..One has to appreciate the beauty of our chosen art when executed with this level of precision..Stay tuned for more vids and discussions. Also, feel free to check out our fanpage on Facebook and Islandjits on Youtube..GO TRAIN..ALOHA!
