Once again bro, SICK !
The different perspective you put on things has really helped my game.
Cheers mate.

fantastic great concept
really good move for beginner or advance grappling

I liked the concept, but it seems difficult to put in place for a beginner. And I would also like to see this concept in the no-gi game.

I wish I could of heard this before last night. During a workout I was at the 60-70% mark, saw a transition opportunity that I should have taken, instead I stayed with it. I saw it coming, live and learn. Good clip Paul.
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Definitely something I could benefit from right away. Thanks!
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Good advice. Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated in order for it to register in my head. I will put this rule into action during tonight’s training. Thanks.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Thanks so much for the perspective you put on grappling, this art is slowly coming together like a puzzle and making more sense by the minute.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
As stated by others…but I will echo…a different way of thinking about grappling…
I very much appreciate this info. Wish you were in SE Michigan!
Cheers!

Thanks again, that is a great stratergy, I also love the reversal!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Great Info!!!

Aloha:
Just got back from class. I watched the vid. today at lunch and applied the 70% rule to a “young punk.” Too bag for him. I frustrated his muscling in attempts and got the tap. Thanks!
O.G.

after being in the arts for 50+ years I am still amazed at the creativity in some of the simplest techniques, way to go. shihanrp(goju,aiki,kali,jitsu,thai and good ole american boxing)
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Good reasoning behind the technique. I look forward to the other vids.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Excellent concept. I should have learned that years ago. I’ll definitely benefit.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Good concept. This will help me as I stubbornly try to stay in positions that i should give up.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Great concepts. I am 43 and can use all the help I can get. You make it really easy to follow!
Cheers

Excellent!
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to see…Thanks for the great tips!
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 pm
MP… always the insightful one! Keep on doin what your doin’! Love it!

“It’s the left hook you never see that knocks you out”
Lloyd creates left hooks, upon left hooks. In preparing his way, you have great offense but you also develop great defense. Just good stuff. Adaptation. Of course you have to know the techniques to get to them!

Great tip and a great way to think about it. Helps to keep the opponent of guard and working for control, while reducing the chance of getting caught. Thanks for the tip.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:55 pm
pretty cool tip
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Great advice. I understand the concept of opening your guard before your opponent opens your guard. Or to transition to something different. My problem is not so much, WHEN to transition. But WHAT to transition to.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:11 am
Enjoy the short clips and would love to see more. Tips are of the best variety…easy, short, actionable and easily digestible. Thanks!
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 am
Keep em coming. You look on the other side when teaching. Do you come to Oz at all?
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 am
Great vid, learning the techniques aren’t a problem in class but it is pointless having them if you have no strategy. I’ve just realised that this keeping the guard closed to long is something I do all the time.
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:45 am
Great explanation of how and when to transition!
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:54 am
GReat TIP… feel the movement and counter. Way to go!
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:03 am
Great video! The reason that alot of grapplers wait too long in situations like getting their guard passed is due to their ego. You have to leave your ego off of the mat, and use your brain to beat your opponent. Every video that you put out, I learn something new. Keep up the good work!
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Nice concept. That is what I like about your coaching, the concepts are far more valuable than one more crazy sweep or sub. The thinking behind why you do what you do is far more valuable and once put into practice, far more useful.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:27 am
Great video,This is going to help my game plan a great deal. I will drill this today, and use in my next sparring class.
June 23rd, 2009 at 8:53 am
Great tip! As one of the “hold the guard to the bitter end” guys I will start playing with this train of thought immediately.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:45 am
Paul Greenhill has an expertise in seeing the underlying principles in BJJ, and putting them into clear words. Here is another great example!
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:32 pm
We were just working gaurd last night, thats great man!!
June 23rd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
As always, really great stuff taught in a way that not only is so logical, it’s simply fun to see good jits that anyone can benefit from. Just don’t teach the young punks!
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Your tips and concepts go beyond grappling. This tip applies to other aspects of self-defense and to everyday life.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I learned to hold on until I die. I usually die a lot! Thanks for the tip.
June 24th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
The triangle sweep you pulled to transition to mount was magical. After 3 years grappling (and 35 years young), I still am very stubborn when deciding to switch position – I’ll keep the rule in mind next time! Thanks for the tip.
June 24th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Love to learn things that are useful at any skill level. Positional awareness is the foundation of all things. If you don’t know where you’re at, then you don’t know where you’re going.
June 25th, 2009 at 5:18 am
Great technique I’ll be able to use right away! Love your videos! Thanks and please keep doing them!
June 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
You know I really like this concept. Especially when you say you dont have to hold it. I have stubbornly held on to positions before and I felt a lot worse afterwords trying to think of ways to keep the guard but instead I should be thinking of flowing into something else. I suppose you really can’t win them all.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I liked both of your videos so far. By the way as a law enfoercement veteran I always have someone at the back door and the windows when I went to the front door.
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Very informative and detailed. That’s the problem with so many of us that we hold on too long and for whatever reason tend not to want to transition to something else.
July 6th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Hello. I think the article is really interesting. I am even interested in reading more. How soon will you update your blog?
July 20th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
interesting material, where such topics do you find? I will often go
July 28th, 2009 at 4:42 am
very interesting, and counter-intuitive to my style, which was formerly wrestling.
there definitely some nuances that i am picking up
July 28th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Good concept to follow … I definitely fight too long to keep my positions.
July 29th, 2009 at 11:30 am
like always sharing really juicy stuff and helping a lot a grapplers
like me to better our game keep the videos comming, you are doing
a great job.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:37 am
Good stuff ,as usual.
August 7th, 2009 at 4:35 am
