We've just remastered the audio on The Lord of the Guards: Guard Retention by Jon Calestine to improve the quality and fixing issues with reverb.

There is nothing you need to do on your end.  The changes will show up when watching it now.

Roberto Castro Del Pozo It's obviously been awhile, but just a heads up the audio should be fixed.  Thank you again for pointing this out!

100% escape rate. Average Time to Escape 32.5 seconds.  12 out of 12 times.

That’s Mason Fowler's track record when opponents have his back in high-pressure EBI overtime rounds. Against elite competitors like Craig Jones, Roberto Jimenez, and Luke Griffith.

His secret is straightforward but counterintuitive to some: always escape toward the choking arm side (the overhook).

I recently broke this down in detail, in my recent Youtube video: The ONLY Back Escape You Need

If you want to learn more, Mason Fowler covers this entire escape system, grip fighting strategies, and back-taking concepts in his course latest course on Digitsu, “Back In Control”.

I’m curious, which side do you typically prefer escaping to: the choking side or the control side?

You raise a good point 😅At some point going to remaster this, and will definitely address that when we do!

Some of the topics of the channel include how technology will change BJJ training, the scientific approach to jiu-jitsu, and how to take ownership of your development in BJJ.
