Three Thoughts from This Week
Omoplata
The last few weeks I’ve found myself funneling my opponents to the Omoplata. At first it wasn’t intentional, I just seemed to find myself there. Now I’m actively pursuing it and developing a more developed game off of it.
DFM Coaching Skool Community
I recently started a Skool community. I love teaching and helping people get better at Jiu-Jitsu. My goal being to help more people stick with the sport, eventually reaching Black Belt.
The community currently has eight courses. A mix of recorded workshops and audio series covering a range of topics.

Chest Over Chest Passing Concept
For the past five months I’ve been using this concept with great success. For the last month or so, I’ve been making it a point of emphasis to utilize the concept against Black Belts. Sometimes sitting in that pocket to see how they’ll respond to different things.
It’s been such a fun game to play.
