For those that went to the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Seminar in Essex

Do you remember the purple belt with the lock down that made you want to cry? He just got his brown belt (see that last promotion on the video) . From what Eddie bravo says, he seems like a badass Jiu Jitsu player.

Also for those that didn't go, the video is also shows Eddie Bravo's approach to belt promotions. Interesting watch.

The video is marked as unlisted, so i hope you can access it here:

Arlans taught some awesome BJJ techniques last night and tonight we will be going over them.

We will initially go over the screen guard pass and the counter/escape from a spider guard and then progress to the counter for each move. The Screen Guard Pass counter is something I have never seen before and I was blown away by how simple but effective it was.

See you tonight guys.
