// about

I have a barn behind my house. I put mats in it. Sometimes friends come over and we train jiu-jitsu. That's it.

Sessions are ad-hoc. No schedule, no fees, no sign-up sheet. I text the group when I'm rolling and whoever shows up, shows up. We're all students at Elizabethtown Jiu-Jitsu — this is just extra mat time.

John Wayne sweep from deep half

// video coming soon

We've been getting stuck under heavier guys in half guard, so this week we're drilling the John Wayne sweep. Underhook the far leg, scoop, stand up like you're climbing onto a horse. Hence the name.

Key details we hit on Tuesday: get your head to the inside, drive your shoulder into their hip before you try to stand, and grip the pants (or just bear-hug the leg in no-gi). If they underhook back, switch to plan B and roll them with the far-side underhook.

Drill it 10 reps a side at the start of every roll this week. We swap techniques every Sunday — if you have something you want the group to work on, text it in.
