10th Planet Van Nuys

We had the absolute pleasure of having Sean Roberts, one of the stars of the BJJ Kumite, come by 10th Planet Van Nuys and teach our morning class. He showed some great details on the knee slicer pass, on the Americana, and some new details on the Samurai back-take. He rolled with all takers afterwards! If you’re not familiar with him, he’s one of the Rising stars coming in Jiu Jitsu out of Ralph Gracie’s Academy in Northern California. He’s also infamous for his submission victory over current UFC lightweight champion, Benson Henderson, check it out.

Josh Barnett def. Nandor Gueimino by head and arm choke. Barnett after being sick with the flu, wasted no time in taking his opponent down. After mounting his opponent and forcing him into opening up, Barnett was given a free head and arm choke. Seeing the opportunity, he forced Nandor into submission round 1

Gerard Mousassi def. Mike Kyle by RNC round 1after setting up a beautiful take down with his strikes. Gerard took his opponents back and slapped on the rear naked choke.

Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza def. Ed Herman by key lock round 1. Jacare looked amazing on his feat, with his takedowns, and lets be honest, he’s pretty much always good on the ground. After landing some big strikes on the feet, he took Herman to the ground with a big double leg. From there it was pretty much over as Souza locked in the figure four and finished him with the kimura.

Tim Kennedy def Trevor Smith by way of guillotine choke.

Roger Gracie def. Anthony Smith 2nd round 3:16 arm triangle choke)

Here’s me Coach Alder, showing my absolute favorite sweep in the world, the Homer Simpson from deep half guard. Jeff Glover originally showed me this back in the day at the original Legends MMA on La Brea in Hollywood, CA. Several years later, I’m still sweeping everybody I can with it. Thank you Mr. Glover for creating a monster!

This move is awesome! It’s very difficult for you opponent to see it coming. When you get it locked in, it’s almost impossible to scramble out. If you opponent does happen to get out, you can transition to a heel hook, or sometimes even a figure four leg lock!

The arm drag is a versitile move, both on the ground and from standing. It can be used to set up finishes, or set up takedowns. Ever since learning it after Marcello Garcia crushed everybody with it, it has been a staple of my game. Below is one of my favorite ways to get the RNC.

I don’t talke too much about it in this article, but hand fighting is a huge part of getting the armdrag. Without winner the hand fight, it’ll be very difficult to be able to just grab the arm straight forward. Now days, the set up to the armdrag is just as important as the armdrag itself.
