I won Masters Worlds this past Friday! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’d never have done it without:⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@claymayfield_bjj you taking a chance on me changed my life forever. I wouldn’t be half the grappler, competitor, or coach without you. When I was seeing double, I thought about how you’d compete with one leg if need be and it gave me focus. We’re going to travel the world together. We’ll share the mats as old men. I look forward to all the decades of you trying—and usually succeeding—to murder me. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@rafaellotractor thanks for giving me a home in my hometown. Thanks for watching my opponents and giving me GREAT advice all day. In my finals, when the guy was trying to pressure, I thought “You’re here all the time with Raf, but Raf is way better at it. Relax—focus on your grip fight.” Thanks for hammering at me day in and day out.⁣
⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣@pedigosubmissionfighting thanks for giving me what everyone needs, Tribe. All of you, @triangle_academy_franklin, or HQ, or across the country, feels like family. I was 7 the last I felt I was part of something bigger than me. The moment I threw up that flex and cheered for someone else doing the same, that changed forever. #PSFforLife⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
To all my training partners @houznjiujitsu, thank you. You’re good people, tough grapplers, and I couldn’t have done it without you. If you don’t think I’m talking about you— maybe cus you’re a white belt—nope, I mean you. Especially you. You matter as much as our stupid tough brown belts. ⁣
⁣⁣
@breece.tyler Thanks for being my partner in Grind. Always being down to drill with me. I really hate that you’ll be way better than me. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@danieldonahuebjj Thanks for being nice to a weird, terrible blue belt when you didn’t need to. And thanks for the coaching; I didn’t even realize I was in 50/50⁣. ⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@blockaybrown thanks for being my nerd brother, for keeping me up to date, and for being a silly goose. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@chuckbailey_1996 Love you, brother. Nuff said. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@papastrangler There aren’t enough words to say all the stuff I owe you for. I won’t try. ⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
@roaming_red Thanks for ALWAYS using your words to build me up. You’re the best support any man can ask for. ⁣⁣ by @pajama.strangler

Hey guys, every time I go to a tournament I’m realizing how many people have no idea whatsoever that I’ve made some big changes to my life, and frankly I’m sick of explaining it, so here’s an update if you care:

About 10 months ago I quit teaching and competing full time and moved back to Charleston to open my own business with two of my good friends as partners. My goal is to put myself in a position financially to be able to return to teaching Jiu Jitsu at my own school, debt free, with no financial pressure to be successful right away. I want to do be able to do it the right way—my right way—even if that looks funny and strange for a couple of years.

My business’s name is Crawllogic Lowcountry and we are a crawlspace company specializing in crawlspace encapsulations. We are a one option company. We don’t do a luxury option or a budget option; we do the best option with the best tools and materials we can possibly get our hands on. Full stop. The reason for that is that I’ve spent 12 years in mold remediation on and off— seeing what can go wrong—and since my my partners and I warranty our work for forever, we really need to have faith that we’re using the best stuff to be able to sleep well at night.

Anyways, that’s what I’m up to nowadays. Crawlspaces, not back takes. I’m still training, still competing (rarely and at masters 1– though I will go back to adult when I’m full time again). It’s going pretty well, we’re getting second and third hand referrals for our work now, so we must be doing something right. Frankly some days— with things outside of the crawlspace (meetings, accounting, vendor relationships, etc.) I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing at all, but I’m blessed to have two much more capable adults for partners who manage to pick me up and carry my slack.

Our website is sick, and we have all the socials (though we barley have anything up on them— we’ll fix that eventually). Feel free to look us up and give us a like and a follow if you feel like supporting. That said, please absolutely do not leave us a review if we haven’t actually done work for you yet.

If you read this far, then I’m flabbergasted. Thanks for giving a shit 🙏🏼 by @pajama.strangler

Just when you though you knew a guy…

Think this is the second time I’ve touched my violin in 2 years. That said, absence can make the heart fonder and I plan to reacquaint myself with this pretty lady. by @pajama.strangler

The brutal truth about practicing escapes and becoming a hard to control motherfucker. ⁣
⁣
It’s not as simple as “go try the escape”. ⁣
⁣
As humans and as grapplers, our habits are the products of feedback loops. If you’re creating the wrong feedback loops, you may be making yourself a worse grappler! ⁣

This is a back mount escape that I learned from a white belt after he successfully used it on me—twice. ⁣
⁣
It’s very rare that people escape my back mount and I had never seen it before, so I decided to show it to y’all. ⁣
⁣
Give it a try and remember that it is a violent, explosive motion. Big thanks to @foster_ehrie for showing me this and agreeing to show it to y’all. ⁣

I’ve got to steal a line from my captain @claymayfield_bjj because it’s so true: ⁣
⁣
I don’t give a fuck about being a purple belt, but being a @pedigosubmissionfighting purple belt means the world to me. ⁣
⁣
I’m Clay Mayfeild’s first ever purple belt and I know the standards he keeps. I believe in myself BECAUSE the people around me do. ⁣
⁣
Looking forward to rising to the next level—wins, losses, and lessons. Fuck, this is an amazing journey and I’m blessed to be on it. ⁣

Here’s a super effective backtake from the turtle. ⁣
⁣
I learned a version of a while back from my buddy @arash_bjj
in Sweden. ⁣
⁣
It’s come to my attention that some of you are too A.D.D. for my long explanations, so let me know what you think of this super, super short format. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for always being my Uke @chuckthetruckjj

Here’s a clip of Roger doing stuff, followed by a short rant on why you NEED to be willing to stand to open the closed guard, followed by how to do so. ⁣
⁣
If you already believe me, feel free to skip the rant— unless you want a strong argument for all those who would tell you not to. ⁣

I see a lot of people struggle to finish the arm triangle— especially in competition. Reason being, their squeeze gives out slightly before they can sleep their opponent. ⁣
⁣
But there’s good news! You don’t have to squeeze at all! ⁣

Thanks to @prioleaujohnny for showing me this ages ago. ⁣
