MTS episode 103 “Anti Leg Lock Game” preview

August 23rd, 2017

MTS 101 & 102 are now LIVE!

March 4th, 2016

MTS 101 “Cop Clinch Revisted” & MTS 102 “Rubber Side” are now LIVE!

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂

Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu”; filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters in downtown Los Angeles. We’ve been hitting the cop clinch ultra heavy at HQ lately, I’m on a mission to take the association’s over overall clinch and squeeze to the highest possible level this year. And it’s been working beautifully. I’m seeing my students hitting cop sweeps on a consistent basis these days. In both episodes 101 & 102 I break down this crucial clinch and all the possible sweeps and options off it. In episode 102 I also go over, in depth, a vital leg lock defensive technique that I learned from 10p Gulf Shores head instructor Sean Applegate, who is one of the association’s top leg lockers. It’s a counter to double outside ashi aka DOA. You can see this counter used multiple times in high level competition by leg lock wizards Karen Darabedyan & Joe Soto in their matches in EBI. This is another move we’ve been hitting hard at HQ lately and like the reps we’ve been putting in with the cop sweeps, the results have been outstanding. 102 also features insane rubber side control work from Baret Yoshida black belt Sergio Hernandez. Your mind will be blown by this, I’ve never seen anything like this before and I’ve already begun the process of slowly working it into my personal game, it’s a serious game changer once you’ve mastered it. Be safe, enjoy yourself and thank you for the support! -Eddie 🙂

MTS episode 99 “Twister Side Control” is now LIVE!

January 13th, 2016

MTS episode 99 “Twister Side Control” is now LIVE!

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂

Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters. in downtown Los Angeles. Twister side control or tsc is my side control of choice. Regular side control and judo side control are VERY important to fully understand and master as well but in my opinion tsc is the best form of side control, especially if you have a well developed truck game. In this episode I will breakdown all the benefits of mastering tsc and will show you the crucial details of this dominating position, including how to turn your opponent’s number 1 side control escape strategy against him, and I will show you how take your opponent’s back from twister side control and of course, I will show you the most important truck entry in my game, from tsc. Also in this episode I polish vital details in the meat hook, Gogo clinch and the carni, all must-learn material for those of you on a mission to master the rubber guard. Thank you for your support and enjoy! -Eddie 🙂

MTS episode 98 “Cummings Honey Flow” is now LIVE!

December 21st, 2015

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂

Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters. in downtown Los Angeles. For the past couple of years, if you’re following the 10th Planet system, you’ve probably heard me preach many times about my favorite guard position, Muddy Waters. There’s a really good reason for it, it’s the absolute best way to set up an arm bar from the guard that I could come up with, plus it’s the best guard position to unload elbows. UFC fighter Ben Saunders has been at 10pHq for the past month and we’ve been spending a lot of time polishing this position up and everyone at HQ and everyone that subscribes to MTS will benefit from Ben’s training camp. Also in this episode I included some crucial leg lock counter material. When it comes to leg lock escapes, most leg lock experts have their own unique paths of defense. Some start out the same, like putting on the boot for instance or forcing a universal defensive angle, but from there all the leg lock masters that I bounce ideas off and dissect positions with, all give me different ways out. And I’m talking about super legit leg lock specialists like Dean Lister, Erik Paulson, Alan Belcher, Karen Darabedyan and Max Bishop. Then ad on top of that the defense my own in-house leg wizards offer me, like Nathan Orchard, Chris Herzog, Sean Applegate, Shigecki Matsuda, Eric Ramey and Adlai Cleveland and you got a mad plethora of ways out. The leg lock escape you are gonna learn in this episode however, is one that Eddie Cummings, the best lock locker on the planet, uses. I sat down with Cummings before EBI 5 and exchanged techniques and philosophies with him and tightened up this beautiful defensive move. It’s an escape from the honey hole/saddle position, but even more than an escape, it’s also a path that ends with your opponent in the honey hole, the exact position he was trying to get you in. It’s a super high level escape/attack that requires a tremendous amount of reps to master before you can pull it off on a skilled heel hooker. If you’re not unconscious with it, you might find yourself tapping instead of flipping the position on your opponent. So that’s why I decided to put it at the end of warm up D3 to insure maximum reps. When it comes to mastering leg locks, Cummings says that professional leg pummeling is key and this flow is not only a great escape, not only a great attack but it also tightens up your leg pummeling skills. Thank you for the support and enjoy! -Eddie 🙂

MTS episode 97 “Plan B” is now LIVE!

December 2nd, 2015

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂 Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters. in downtown Los Angeles. Plan B is a powerful option from the dogfight position. There are many options from this pivotal position in the system; limp arm, twist back, old school, half and half, the mookie, cow catcher, powder keg, full guard and more. Getting to dogfight and mastering the options from dogfight is absolutely vital, as well as defending it, with a whizzar/overhook and solid footwork. This position, offensively and defensively, must be fully understood. Once in dogfight, you either go right thru him via half and half and old school, or you go around him because your opponent’s whizzar is too strong. When you master plan b, you learn how to use that powerful whizzar against him. Plan b works great against superior wrestlers and judokas. It’s a little more technical and bit more sophisticated than all the other dogfight options but nonetheless you must have it in your arsenal for a complete well rounded dogfight game. Also in this episode I break down another great option off dogfight, the drowning whizzar. This option is a big money move that takes you right to spider web by jumping on a swim move. Again, this is another option that works well against someone that has a whizzar from hell. So jump right into this episode and tighten up your dogfight game, you’re gonna need it! Thank you for the support! Enjoy! -Eddie 🙂

MTS 96 “Pre Web” is now LIVE!

November 4th, 2015

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂

Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters. in downtown Los Angeles. Developing an elaborate attacking system from back control is generally a beautiful thing to focus on in Jiu Jitsu but not necessary at all if your main goal is to dominate the point Jiu Jitsu scene. Sweeps, passing and wrestling is what needs to be focused on if that is your mission. However in the submission-only game, sharpening your back attacks is absolutely essential, especially if you compete in subonly tournaments that utilize the EBI over-time format. Your transitions from back control to the truck, back to the back, and then to spider web and back to the back need to be super smooth and ultra polished. Having counters to your opponent’s defense and set ups off those counters to finish him off become everything in EBI OT. In this episode I will show you exactly how I attack from the back and how I set up traps for the finish. It all starts off by getting your opponent to the “pre web” position which is mainly about stifling his attempt to get to “safe haven”, the spot/the angle that keeps him safe from the RNC. From “pre web” not only do you kill his best line of defense against the rear naked choke but you also put yourself in a position to attack with an RNC against a 1 armed opponent, or transition smoothly to spider web, or set him up for an inverted triangle, all from “pre web”. In this episode I also go over how I break open and deal with professional lockdowns. This is vital for those of you who are sick and tired of getting electric chaired and vaporized. Plus, as usual, there is much much more, so sit back, take some notes and enjoy the journey of mastering the system, thank you for the support! -Eddie 🙂

MTS episode 95 “Prison Guard Revisted” is now LIVE!

October 12th, 2015

MTS episode 95 “Prison Guard Revisted” is now LIVE!

Hello brothers and sisters, I hope all is beautiful 🙂

Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed on location at 10p HeadQuarters. in downtown Los Angeles. There are three 10p warm up flows that end in full guard with double underhooks. The next evolution in the 10p warm up curriculum will be extending those flows into the basic path of prison guard, starting with the first step, homie control. 90% of the time I end up in full guard with double underhooks I will attempt to take my opponent thru the paths of prison guard. This requires a highly developed clinch and optimal squeezing endurance and of course clean professional technique. Once your prison guard paths are polished up you will have the ability to go from butterfly guard with double underhooks all the way to spider web, the back, New York or a sweep to a top position, this has been a crucial part of my arsenal for many years, but only a few of my students, so far have mastered it. In this episode I teach a new detail, the shoulder clinch, this detail alone should take your prison guard to the next level. Also in this episode I break down warm ups F and G and go over the latest tweaks to these vital Jiu Jitsu flows. The F warm ups, “butterflies” and G, “top half passing” are some of the most important parts of nogi Jiu Jitsu. That’s why they’re part of the 10p warm up system. They must be hit on a regular basis, like bag work, like mit work, like footwork. So get into study and drill mode and soak up this episode of Mastering The System. Thank you! -Eddie
