Teaching something takes way more than just being good at it, you truly have the characteristics and features of what makes a good coach. Such golden tips, striker mma fighter here and I feared ground game more than anything, ever since I discovered this channel and took your tips into consideration jiu jitsu stopped being a nightmare for me, I actually understand and do pretty good at it now, all thanks to you!!!
Another great ‘concepts’ video. The lion-gazelle analogy is very sticky. I was having trouble hitting the Americana from side control against someone with really strong arms and I can’t wait to try again with this approach. Thanks Coach Tom!
If they are much larger, americanaas can be troublesome. However, I tend to get big guys on their side facing me and then Americana them preventing a roll as they are not flat. (-: Coach Tom Davey
Hey coach, last rolling session I got a big dude kimura´ing and americana´ing me from inside my guard, I got very frustrated with that, obviously. What can I do to avoid next time?
I tried pushing him away extending my hips (and of course he was big enough that he still had plenty of room to reach for my arms) but I was so afraid to open the guard and have him pass and smash me that I admit I did not try feet on hips. About not playing bottom, when the dude is big I cannot not play bottom, they just ragdoll me until I end up on bottom and I am lucky if I get to play guard hahahahahah
This has quickly become my favourite BJJ channel on youtube!
I'm glad to hear you enjoy the channel, thanks for th epositive feedback! Happy training and happy kimuras! (-: Coach Tom Davey

Awesome BT I am excited for you! Great job (-: Tom Davey
Coach Tom got weirdly animalistic with the gazelle and lion analogy...beautiful key lock tips!
GRRRRR (-: Coach Tom Davey
He just kept running with it :-) Clear concise information all the time though
Best teaching I've seen yet.

Happy Americanas Marc! (-: Coach Tom Davey
I loved the gazelle analogy!
Great analogy with the general concept of breaking away from the herd. Thank you!
Great tips. I actually don't do this enough and now I feel dumb. Haha
This guys pleasant. Accent doesn’t hurt
Thx coach
This guy is awesome. Thanks for the video
Hm, I agree with the kimura, but with the Americana, it's easier to finish when you bring his elbow to his hip
Very well said!
Holy shit this made so much sense.
This tips you give is great.
Thanks Mean MAch! Happy kimuras (-: Coach Tom Davey

But what if I want a zebra and not a gazelle for lunch? I’m so confused?

Alvaro Wang if they Americana you, take their back. You can also armbar or Americana them back.
SkepticalAaron interesting. Thanks for the input
Good question, u try to feet on hips and extend yourself so he can't reach?
Or sweep him?
I personally try to not play bottom game if guy is heavy.
