CONTROL THE ARM. ADAPT TO THE REACTION. FINISH THE JOB. 🥋⚔️

Got bucked off the initial position, but kept control of the far arm and stayed attached.

He defended the armbar well, so instead of fighting strength with strength, I switched the leg position into the triangle. That gave me the control and angle I needed to finally extend the arm and get the finish.

Position → reaction → adjustment → submission.

This is the kind of grappling I love. The first attack doesn’t always work. Keep the connection, read the defense, and let the next attack present itself.

🥋 Train hard. Adapt. Keep hunting.

Another solid week in the books at Marshals Arts 🔥

This week’s highlight reel is packed with takedowns and submissions. We also dug into guard passing in fundamentals plus shin-on-shin open guard entries into single leg-X and traditional X-guard, sweeping into passes and transitioning straight into leg locks. Highly technical stuff, but the seeds are planted for some of my favourite ways to attack from seated open guard.
Whether you’re brand new or already deep in the game, we’ve got classes for every level.

Free trial classes available — come try it out at MarshalsArts.ca

At a certain level, almost everyone knows the basic half guard passes and the common defenses. The next layer is knowing how to create the problems you want your opponent to have.

Gordon talks about giving them a false sense of escape… letting them feel like they’re getting out, only to put them right back into a heavy, flattened half guard.

Then repeating it. Making them work. Accumulating fatigue.

Until the actual pass becomes the easy part.

You don’t always have to rush the finish.

Sometimes the smarter game is camping out, controlling the position, and cooking them until the pass is inevitable.

Technique solves the problem.

Tactic creates the problem you want them to have.
Half guard isn’t just a pass-or-get-passed situation. Learn how to live there and make your opponent pay for every second.

POV: Me cornering you one day…

I’ll keep it chill… but we train to run straight at the pressure. Pressure, pain, tough rolls that’s where you get better.

New, returning, or chasing belts—whatever your level, I’ve got your back on the mats.

Join the squad.

A coach can never take all the credit.

That’s straight from John Danaher — and it’s the foundation we’re building at Marshals Arts BJJ in Edmonton.

A great coach creates possibilities. The athlete actualizes them. Success isn’t just showing up every day (though that builds the grit). It’s the persistence of thinking — constantly asking better questions, refining your game, and pushing for more efficient ways to train harder and smarter.

At Marshals Arts, we’re not here to just fill mats. We’re building a culture where:
• You’re challenged to grow technically and mentally
• Rapport and trust with your coaches matter
• Curious, persistent athletes who want to think harder rise up
• Everyone from fundamentals to advanced gets the tools to actualize their potential
Opening early August in Edmonton.

If you’re ready to train hard and think harder — this is your gym.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re in. DM or comment to get on the early list. First 10 early bird members will get grandfathered in for a lifelong 80 dollar membership!

Train hard. Think harder.

Rampage Jackson teaching grappling fundamentals with
Vera Dijkmans,

Perfect technique.
Questionable self-control.
