The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 115: The Coyote Half Guard

The coyote half guard is one of the best half guard systems in the sport. It’s is a big part of my game, and I believe every grappler should learn it. I discuss the most important details of the system, half guard fundamentals, how to win the whizzer vs. under hook battle, the dogbar, and shutting down the coyote half guard. The choice is between a sweep or your knee… what would you choose? Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 111: Biggest Myths For Gym Owners

Owning and operating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school is both a labour of love and a huge responsibility.
