MTS 73 "New Final 3" is now live!!

Hello brothers and sisters!

I hope all is wonderful. Mastering The System 73 "The New Final 3" is now live! In this episode I unveil the new final 3 steps to the grand daddy of all submissions, the twister. Although the original final 3 steps are still very alive and effective, the new final 3 steps were designed to beat the best at defending the twister. It used to be a lot easier to tap my sparring partners with the twister but quite a few of my top students have developed a very tight defense over the last few years, so tweaks had to be made. This episode is crucial for all looking to master the twister. Also in this episode I introduce a new set of pre-warm ups. At HQ our pre-warm ups have been shrimps, cart wheels and hand walking every day before the official warm ups. Now we are alternating with a new set that Geo and Boogey taught me. They are break dancing warm ups that translate beautifully to Jiu Jitsu, you are gonna love them. Plus I break down my personal favorite pressure pass, "the chest pass". This pass is so important that I decided to ad it to warm ups C. Another technique that I teach on this episode is the rolling toe hold from Z guard. This vital technique falls into the "Hail Mary" category and it is now added to warm ups B. This episode is packed with loads of important information including Nathan Orchard's reverse spider web series, you don't want to miss this!! Thank you very much for the support! Enjoy! Eddie :)http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...pstjhb4zvx.png

Yes, once I feel they are all tweaked out :)

Oh shit, I can't wait!!

I have been wanting to check out the reverse spiderweb stuff for a while, but I haven't had a chance to get around to it.

Holy shit, i can't believe that i made it into MTS! Thanks Eddie!

This may sound crazy but i got kind of emotional about this! I started watching MTS from day 1 over 4 years ago. My life was in the shitter, i was a loser who had just got put on house arrest and had nothing to show for my life. I had been into MMA for a while and as a result of that i wanted to get into BJJ. I always heard Rogan talking about Eddie and 10th PJJ, i investigated and found this forum and MTS in its infancy. I began studying techniques like a scientist even though i wasn't able to train at the time. 6 months into my 3 year stint on house arrest i was allowed to start training BJJ one night a week at a gym i had found in my home town. Over the course of time i was able to train more and more eventually earning my blue belt and even competing a few times with my ankle bracelet still on. I got off of house arrest in November of 2012 and began training and competing non-stop. I live an amazing life today and it is all truly thanks to BJJ!

Sorry to drone on about this but this is a very surreal moment for me to see myself on MTS, the very thing that got me started in BJJ in the first place and something that i never thought in a million years would ever happen. Thanks again! Sorry to make this all about me as are way more important things and essential techniques in this episode of MTS but i couldn't hold back my excitement and gratitude. BJJ is truly modern day alchemy for your life and i am living proof of that. Love all you motherfuckers!

Awesome sauce!!!

great thx eddie, I hope I'm not asking too much, I am a needy mother fucker :P

I guess this got deleted

I ve got a question that I ve had for years in my mind. After the chest pass and then when u go for the far side arm bar, why do we have to keep our foot under his ribs. I understand that the fact that the guy is turned on his side so the arm bar is harder to pull out, but the cork scrub escape seems super easy to escape, I haven't seen anyone pull this kind of armbar off, plus I'm scared of hurting the guy cuz u can really crank it.

Any thoughts on this?

That's a speed arm bar, no time to go to full spider web. You are hoping that the spin is so fast and the arm bar is so quick that he hesitates to cork screw

You have really never seen anyone pull this off? It's one of the most common armbars in BJJ. If you use heavy pressure with your leg it's pretty tough to corkscrew out. I don't love the technique in no-gi but it's definitely effective if you have a good underhook on the far side arm.

Not with the leg under the ribs, usually i c it over/ Ill try with a tighter underhook, maybe it will work better.

Ralf Warneking, 10th Planet black belt in Germany, really liked teaching this armbar when he was with us at West LA. Trust me, you don't get out when he's doing it to you...! The main concept is the same as for a standard armbar--keep the knees super tight and the leg over the face heavy. Also, because your foot is planted behind their ribcage or shoulder blade and you are thus elevating their shoulder, you don't have to fall back as far to get the tap.

Andrew, if your having trouble keeping it tight try this. Instead of having a normal underhook, underhook his far arm but cup the back of his triceps an keep your elbow to the inside of his body (between his chest an stomach an not on his back side ). Keeps it much tighter till you can make the spin around. I also like to place my free hand directly behind his back while spinning an then replace it with my knee. This stops him from getting his back to the mat before you have the proper positioning with your legs.

Question: are there any specific scenarios the new pre-warmups directly translate to? Or is it just more for general mat/body awareness? Like how cartwheels and forward rolls can both translate to rolling kimuras.
