can also use your legs to help you push your opponent away. Your main
objective here is to get away, but if you can get him in guard or
something do so.
367. Head lock escape; bump opponent forward; turn on knees; pull over
– while your opponent has you in a headlock on your right side with his
weight leaning towards you head. First bump your opponent forward or
towards you head, and make sure your opponent’s forehead is touching
the floor. Then turn you body onto your knees by bridging up on your

knee. Now take your left hand and grab your opponent’s left shoulder
from reaching behind him. Now just pull your opponent’s left shoulder
back with your left hand while pulling your body back and twisting your
body towards your left. This should cause your opponent to go back and
then go down on his left side. Now if your opponent is still holding
the head lock. First make a base so he does roll you right over. Do
this by leaning your butt back and having your arms spread out in front
of you. Then wait for him to flatten his body a little. Then take your
right leg and bring it over your opponent’s body and tight into him,
368. Head lock kip up escape – when your opponent has you in the
headlock on your right side while you are on the ground. First look
your head into him to release to the pressure on you neck. Then make a
frame on his face with your hands by taking your right arm and placing
your elbow on the ground bent upward. Then take your right hand and
grab you left wrist with it. Make sure you elbow is out on the floor
to so it can’t be collapsed. Then take that frame and put pressure on
your opponent’s face and push it back. After doing that swing both of
your legs all the way up really fast, and then quickly and as hard as
you can swing them back down while pushing the frame that you made into
your opponent, if done right this should push your opponent back, and
then your opponent should probably still have you in a headlock, but
while you have him in cross mount. First make a base so he does roll
you right over. Do this by leaning your butt back and having your arms
spread out in front of you. Then wait for him to flatten his body a
little. Then take your right leg and bring it over your opponent’s
body and tight into him, and press your left knee into the back of his
head. Then take the bony part of your left wrist and place it on you
opponent’s neck and grab you left wrist, with you right hand. Then
place pressure on you opponent’s neck by leaning your body towards you
wrist and lifting up your left knee a little to place all pressure on
your wrist (make sure when your lift up you don’t lift you head up,
because you can hurt yourself). If you have to, you can grind you
wrist into your opponent to make him release the headlock.
369. Head lock kip up to roll backward escape – While you attempt to
do the previous headlock escape. If when you swing your legs back down
hard, but your opponent presses all of his weight on you, down on your
upper body and head. While he is doing that swing your legs back up
quickly and with as much force as possible and swing them over your
head and do a back roll to get out of the headlock.
370. Foot on hip; sit down; flip opponent takedown (standing) – while
you and your opponent are standing in front of each other. Grab under
both of your opponent’s arms with your hands. You left hand grabbing
under his right arm and you right hand grabbing under his left arm.
Now take your right foot and place it on the left side of your
opponent’s hip with your right foot facing out towards your opponent’s
left side. So your right foot fits snug in your opponent’s hip. Now
sit down on your butt while still having your right leg extended out
straight and pushing on your opponent’s left hip. You should be able
to pick your opponent up in the air and have them on your right foot.
You want to keep hold of both of your opponent’s arms. Also you are
using the foot on the hip help get your opponent over you. So what you
371. Cross mount; arm under head; get back gi choke (cross mount) –

arm and place your right hand behind your opponent’s head like a half
nelson. Now fall back and place your left leg around your opponent’s
left leg and get him in back mount. Now just pull on your opponent’s
right lapel with your left hand, and push forward on the back of your
opponent’s head with your right hand.
372. Grab arm; tuck elbow in squat down throw opponent over you
(standing) – while you and your opponent are standing in front of each
other facing each other. Take your left hand and grab your opponent’s
right sleeve from the inside of his right arm. Than take your left
elbow and turn it clockwise while still holding your opponent’s right
sleeve with your left hand, and make it so your right elbow is now
tucked against your opponent’s right arm on this inside of his right
arm. After doing that take your head and tuck it in between your
opponent’s right side of his body and the outside of your left arm.
Then take your right arm and grab your opponent’s right leg with your
right arm while stepping your right leg in between your opponent’s
legs, and stepping your left leg up so it is parallel to your
opponent’s right leg. Now drop your level by bending your knees and
keeping your back straight. After doing all of that sit down and
layback while throwing your opponent’s right leg over you with your
right arm. It should throw your opponent over you and you should be on
top of your opponent with your back leaning on your opponent. You
should still have control of your opponent’s right arm after you roll
him. Then from there if you quickly turn counterclockwise while
keeping your body weight on top of your opponent, you can obtain the
cross mount position.
374. Rear naked choke starting from cross mount – while you have your
opponent in the cross mount position on his right side place a lot of
pressure on the left side of your opponent’s neck with your left
forearm or your left shoulder. This is so your opponent turns his head
towards you so he can protect his windpipe from being crushed. When y
our opponent turns his head to face towards you take your left arm and
bring it under and around the front of your opponent’s neck. Make sure
your left elbow his lined up with your opponent’s chin. After you have
that position take your right hand and grab your opponent’s left arm
with it and push his left arm down towards the ground. As you are
pushing his left arm down to the ground, jump over you opponent towards
his left side. The reason you are holding his arm down is so he does
not lift it up to stop you from jumping over to the other side. After
you jump over to the other side with your left arm still around your
opponent’s neck with your left elbow lined up with his chin, quickly
grab the crook of your right elbow with your left hand to get the
choke, and then take your right hand and bring it up and behind your
opponent’s head. Then squeeze your elbows together while pushing
forward on your opponent’s head and flexing your biceps.
375. Reversal while opponent has knee on stomach – while your opponent
is on your left side with his left knee on your stomach take your left

your body and legs away from your opponent and then start to sit up
while pushing up on your opponent’s left ankle with your left arm.
377. Headlock escape: (walk away, hook leg, get hook in free arm into
chicken wing) – while your opponent has you in a headlock on your right
side on the ground and you can’t use your arms to build a frame across
your opponent’s neck. Start walking your body counterclockwise away
from your opponent and when he starts to follow you at the right time
quickly swing your left leg towards you’re the right to hook your
opponent’s left leg. Then start to hook your opponent’s left leg with
your left leg while turning your body towards your opponent and posting
378. Headlock escape: (grab waste; look over shoulder; roll opponent
over)- while your opponent has you in a headlock on your right side on
the ground and you can’t use your arms to build a frame across your
opponent’s neck. And he has his head down with most of his weight
towards your head. First turn your head towards your left so it’s like
your looking over you left shoulder. Then take your left hand and grab
your opponent’s waste (it should be on the left side of his waste), and
take your right hand and grab your left wrist with it. Now you want to
bump your opponent and roll him over. To do this make sure you are
still looking over your left shoulder and bump and pull your opponent
towards your head and your left shoulder. You don’t want to just try
to bump him towards your left because he has all of he weight going the
opposite way so it will be to hard to get him over. Once you roll your
opponent over, chances are he is still going to have you in a headlock
but with you in the cross mount position. First make a base so he does
roll you right over. Do this by leaning your butt back and having your
arms spread out in front of you. Then wait for him to flatten his body
a little. Then take your right leg and bring it over your opponent’s
body and tight into him, and press your left knee into the back of his
head. Then take the bony part of your left wrist and place it on you
opponent’s neck and grab you left wrist, with you right hand. Then
place pressure on you opponent’s neck by leaning your body towards you
wrist and lifting up your left knee a little to place all pressure on
your wrist (make sure when your lift up you don’t lift you head up,
because you can hurt yourself). If you have to, you can grind you
wrist into your opponent to make him release the headlock.
379. Gi choke from opponent being on all fours and you spin to side
jump over and sit out - while your opponent is on all fours and you
have your chest on your opponent’s back with your weight being
distributed on top of his back, first spin your body counterclockwise
and get on the left side of your opponent. Then take after you spin to
the left side of your opponent quickly take your right hand and get a
one on one with your right hand and your opponent’s right arm. Than
take your left arm and bring it around your opponent’s neck over his
arm not under it and grab high up your opponent’s right lapel with your
left hand. Use your right hand to pull your opponent’s right lapel out
so you can get your left hand up there tight. Now after you have that
position jump over you opponent to his right side while keeping your
hands in the same position. Then just do a sit out and sit your left
leg through. Make sure your left but cheek is kind of on your
opponent’s right shoulder. And while you do the sit out and put your

are standing in front of each other take your left hand and grab your
opponent’s sleeve under his right arm, and take your right hand and
grab high up your opponent’s left collar. Now push your opponent’s
left collar away with your right hand while you pull your opponent’s
right sleeve in with your left hand. After doing that step your right
foot forward in between your opponent’s legs while bending your right
forearm up and bringing your right forearm which is holding your
opponent’s left collar close to your opponent’s body. Now turn your
body 180 degrees while stepping your left leg around. After you do
that post your right leg farther out while slightly bending it. The
bend in the leg is to allow your opponent to go over your leg. If you
keep your leg straight then it will be harder to throw your opponent.
After you have that position twist your shoulders counterclockwise
while pulling on your opponent’s right sleeve and left collar and
throwing him over your right leg.
382. Guard reversal into a bicep lock (guard) – while in your guard
position, grab your opponent’s right arm tight and pin it against your
chest. Take your left leg and bring it over your opponent’s right arm

opponent steps his left leg up take, your right arm and grab your
opponent’s left leg with your right arm from underneath his left leg.
Then just roll your opponent towards the direction his head it pointing
towards because he doesn’t have his right hand to post out. Then
after you roll your opponent and you are on top your opponent’s right
arm should still be in crook of your left leg. Now just press your
upper body close to your opponent and squeeze your opponent’s bicep
with your left leg.
Grappling Drills
Bucking Bronco - One person gets in the "turtle" position. The other
climbs on, hooking his legs around and positioning his arms for a
choke. The bottom man thrashes wildly, hopping, rolling, scooting on
his back, shaking from side to side, etc. His goal is to shake the top
man off. The top man just has to hold on and keep riding. It is
important that the top man not actually choke the bottom man.
Chest-to-Back Spin - One person gets on his hands and knees. The other
person sprawls out on top with his chest on the bottom man's back. The
top man then spins around while keeping his weight on the bottom man.
Be sure to go in both directions. A variation includes rapid changes in
direction. Do this when the instructor gives the command or when your
opponent reaches up with one hand and stops your progress.
Elbow Drag - Lie flat on your stomach. Reach out with both hands and
pull yourself forward. To accomplish this, press your elbows and upper
arms into the mat. Drag your body until the hands are in line with the
shoulders then reach out again. Do not bring the hands under the chest.
Move up and down the mat. This drill builds strength in the deltoid,
pectoral, and serratus muscles.
Grip Fighting - This one is useful for any grappling art that requires
a gi. Face off with your opponent while standing and attempt to secure
a tight grip on his jacket while prevent him from doing it to you. Go
Hold-down Circuit - One person lies flat on his back and the other
begins with a left sided scarf hold (kesa gatame). At this point the
top man switches to a left-side cross body hold (yokoshiho gatame).
Next, the top man moves into a four corners hold (kamishiho gatame),
reverse scarf hold (kuzure kesa gatame), and finally the mount
(tateshiho gatame). During each switch the top man should keep his
weight on the bottom man's chest. This should be done in both
directions. Vary the circuit by changing the order of the hold-downs.
Line Drills - Stand in the middle of the mat with the rest of your
class lined up facing you. In turn, each of them walks into you as you
turn and execute a forward throw. Move through the line one or more
times depending upon how many people are in it. This develops your
timing for the throws.
Makikomi Impact Drill - The name comes from the Judo term that means to
wind your opponent around you and fall on him during a throw. Use this
drill to become accustomed to taking hard falls. Allow your opponent to
execute a throw and drive you into the mat. Exhale and tuck your chin
on landing. This drill can hurt a bit and should be used sparingly. Do
sets of 5 and alternate when practicing it.
Monkey Drill - Pair up with someone about your own weight. Have your
partner stand as you jump up and wrap your legs around in the guard
position. Climb around your partner's body without touching the floor.
Make sure the partner keeps his arms out to his sides at about shoulder
height. As you improve incorporate hanging sit-ups. Do one sit-up when
facing your opponent's chest, climb around and do another facing his
back.
Partner Drag - Stand behind your partner and hold him by hooking your
arms under his armpit. Your partner relaxes and you drag him the length
of the mat. Switch positions and go the other direction.
Walk-Around Drill - Bridge onto your hands and head. Walk your lower
body around in a circle while keeping your head and hands in contact
with the floor.
Wolf Pack - Section off the mat into a 15x15 ft square (or whatever you
have room for) using masking tape or just visual reference points. All
the players are standing except for one - the most senior ranking
student. The person on the ground is the "wolf". He tries to take the
other players down without getting up off his knees using sweeps and
grappling techniques. A player is down when both knees or any part of
the torso touches the mat. The players move around and resist being
taken down. When a players is taken down he too becomes a wolf and
joins the pack. As the game goes on it becomes harder to stay up since
the wolves can team up on the standing players. The last player
standing is the wolf for the next game. This is fun to play as a warm-
up or to break up the monotony of practice. Don't overdo it though or
the game will get stale.
Balance/Agility Drills
Blind Scramble - Lie flat on your back with your eyes closed. When your
instructor or partner gives the command, get to your feet and assume a
fighting stance as quickly as possible. Keep your eyes tightly closed
while getting up. Also do this drill from the prone position. This
improves balance and kinesthetic awareness.
Carioca Step - Using the following motion to move laterally. Step your
rear leg in front of your lead leg. Step up with your lead leg. Step
your rear leg behind your lead leg. Step up with your lead leg. Make
sure to twist your hips when stepping. Begin walking then build up
speed as you improve. This improves foot agility and the hip twist
needed to execute many throws.
Fast Feet - Make a line on the floor with masking tape and stand
directly behind it. Step forward over it with the left foot then the
right. Then step backward over it with the left foot then the right.
Stay on your toes and repeat this motion for 2-3 intervals of 20-30
seconds. The motion should be as quick and accurate as possible.
Footwork and agility both benefit from this exercise.
Flamingo Stand - Stand on one leg with the other tucked and close your
eyes. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Repeat two or three times on
each leg daily to improve kinesthetic awareness and balance.
Jump and Turn - Stand beside an obstacle (rope, cone, etc.) that is
about knee height. Jump off both feet, turn 180 degrees in the air, and
land facing the opposite direction. Immediately jump back over, turn,
and land in the starting position. Do this drill clockwise and
counterclockwise.
Pickup Drill - Begin by standing on the right foot with the other off
the ground. Place a small (1-2 lb) object just in front and to the
right of your right foot. Pick up the object with your right hand by
bending the right knee slightly and leaning forward then come back up.
Place the object about 2' to the left of its original position using
the same squat and bend motion. Next pick up the object with your left
hand, come up, and return in to its original position. All of this
equals one rep. Do 1-2 sets of 5 reps on each leg. This greatly
improves balance and coordination.
Roll-Ups - Execute a back fall. Reverse the momentum of your legs using
your ab and hip muscles. Roll forward and stand up on one leg. Repeat,
switching legs each time. If this is too difficult, begin by standing
up on both legs then progress to one leg as you get stronger. This
conditions the legs and abs, improves balance, and enhances scrambling
ability.
Sit-Throughs - Squat down and put your hands flat on the floor. Shoot
your left leg straight out towards the right side of your body. Your
chest should turn towards the right and your left arm should come off
the ground. Keep your right foot on the floor for balance and transfer
your weight onto your left arm. Next, switch from this position to the
same position on the opposite side. Make the switch in one smooth
motion. As you improve alternate sides quickly and rhythmically.
Tiger Crawl - Stand with your back to the wall a couple of feet away.
Arch your back, put your hands on the wall, and walk down until your
head touches the floor. Then walk back up the wall into a standing
position using your hands. This drill builds kinesthetic awareness,
back flexibility, and improves bridging and throwing ability.
Wheelbarrow - Assume a push-up position and have your partner lift your
lower body off the mat. He should grip slightly above the knees. Keep
your back and hips flat. Your partner then walks you around the mat.
This can be done for down-and-back reps or time intervals. To increase
the difficulty, stop and do one push-up for each three steps. This is a
great exercise for upper body balance, arm endurance, and shoulder
joint stability.
Striking Drills
Around the Clock - Stand in a fighting stance, lift the lead leg, and
pivot as if preparing to throw a round kick. The thigh that is off the
floor should be parallel with the ground. Imagine you are standing on a
giant clock. Throw 12 kicks, one to each hour. Keep your chambered leg
parallel with the ground and pivot on your supporting leg. Be sure to
go both directions. This can also be done with front kicks, hook kicks,
and side kicks.
Bob and Weave Rope Drill - Attach a piece of lightweight plastic rope
to the walls on either side of the room so that it is suspended at
about chin level. If it dips down slightly lower in the middle that is
ok. Start in a fighting stance with your head on the right side of the
rope. Walk along the rope bobbing and weaving so that your head changes
sides with each step. When you get to the end, move backward the same
way. Be sure to bend at the knees, not the waist. Face a mirror if you
can so that you will be sure to keep your eyes forward. When you are
comfortable with the movement, add punches, kicks, and knees. You will
find that this drill not only improves footwork and defensive skills,
but builds leg endurance.
Knee Down Front Kicks - Assume a front lunge position with the rear
knee on the floor. Keep your hands up in a guard position. Come up out
of the lunge and front kick with the rear leg in one smooth motion. Set
the kicking leg in down in front and sink back into a lunge. Advance
down the floor like this. A more difficult version of this drill
involves throwing jumping front kicks from the lunge. Be sure when
landing that you sink back into the lunge with a controlled motion so
that you don't bang your knee. This drill will build explosiveness and
strength.
Line Drills - Stand in the middle of the mat with your classmates in a
line facing your. Each in turn moves up to you and throws a punch. You
defend with whatever technique you have chosen. This drill works for
kicks, punches, and self-defense vs. grab techniques. For beginners,
attack slowly and for advanced students, full speed and power attacks
can be used. (Submitted by Glen).
Pivot Drill - Stand in place and bring one leg off the ground until the
upper leg is parallel with the floor. Do a 1/2 speed front snap kick
and keep the leg cocked. Turn your hips and knee so that you are in
position for a side kick at the same level. Side kick, rechamber, and
pivot back to the front kick position. Repeat. Do not allow your upper
leg to dip or raise, keep it parallel with the floor. Keep your hands
up guarding your face. This drill will improve both balance and leg
endurance.
Sit-up and Punch - Assume a bent-knee sit-up position with your partner
holding your feet down. Have your partner hold punch mitts in each
hand. Execute a sit-up and do two straight punches at the top. Imagine
that your partner is an opponent trying to move in after scoring a
double-leg takedown. In addition to training the abdominals and hip
flexor muscles, this drill builds striking proficiency on the ground.
Speed Drill - Have your partner hold a focus mitt for any kick or
strike. Attempt to strike the pad while your partner tries to prevent
this by moving it. Stay loose and do not telegraph the technique. This
improves the speed of the person striking and the awareness of the
holder
You goal is to eventually do this workout with as little rest as possible. There are also links to a
couple of exercises please go to those links to see how they are performed.
Pyramiding means you do 1 pushup, stand up, rest for 20-30 seconds then drop back down and do
2 pushups, etc. Keep the rest times consistent and work your way to 12 reps. Take a 1-minute
break, then work your way back down from the top.
Diamond pushups are done with your hands touching directly underneath your sternum. Turning
your fingers "out" while keeping your thumbs touching (it'll look like you're making a W with your
hands) will ensure that your arms will stay close to your torso during the exercise. Do as many as
you can for one set.
PULL-UPS*:
DIPS:
4 sets of 8-10
If you are doing this routine at home you can do dips off the end of a chair, couch, or anything that
will safely support your weight.
BOOT-STRAPPERS*: 4 sets of 25
CRUNCHES: 20
Lie flat on your back with your feet tucked in approximately 8-10 inches from your butt. Imagine
pulling your bottom rib directly to your hip.
SIDE CRUNCHES: 20
From the original crunch position just roll your knees to one side while keeping your shoulder blades
flat on the ground. Using your abs pull your shoulder blades evenly off the ground for each rep.
Check out the Sitting V-Up in the Exercises section and start in position 1. Bending your legs, tuck
your knees into your chest then extend them back to position 1.
Tilt your body and balance on one butt cheek then continue the motion.
V-UPS: 10
If you went to the Exercises page, you already know how to do this.
FLUTTER KICKS: 25
Lie flat on your back and place your hands underneath your butt. Press the small of your back into
the ground and raise your feet 6 inches. The first motion is one leg swinging up until your foot is
almost over your crotch then, as it descends, the other leg is on the way up.
6-INCH CRUNCHES: 10
Lie flat on your back and place your hands underneath your butt. Press the small of your back into
the ground and raise your feet 6 inches. Keeping your chin tucked to your chest, pull your bottom
rib to your hip and relax for each rep but don't put your feet down until you're finished.
FINAL NOTES
Here are a couple tips to help you consistently improve instead of burning out right away:
• Stay hydrated before, during, and after the workout. Nothing is worse than doing these
while your body is in need of water.
• If the routine calls for a Pyramid of a particular exercise, but you can't complete the entire
Pyramid, stop when your form starts to deteriorate and take a break. When you feel able,
start where you left off and work your way back down to 1. Continue this for a couple more
workouts and then "up it" one level, on the Pyramid, at a time until you can do the entire
thing.
• The same concept applies to the Shootfighters / Boot-strappers (the biggest complaint
section of all). Keep the number of sets the same but drop the reps to a number you can do
properly. As you get stronger, add the reps to each set until you can complete the entire
thing.
You goal is to eventually do this workout with as little rest as possible. There are also links to a
couple of exercises please go to those links to see how they are performed.
*10 4-Count Mountain Climbers per each set of Push-ups. Reps 1-5 are Triceps Push-ups, Reps 6-
10 are Regular Grip Push-ups, and Reps 11-15 are Dive Bomber Push-ups.
We covered Pyramids in the first workout. For Mountain Climbers you stay in the regular pushup
position but turn your hands so your fingers are facing "out". This will help you keep your body in
one place and not push back which forces your lower back higher into the air. Keeping your back
level, "run" your legs towards your chest. Every other time your right leg comes up, that is one rep
(just an easy way to look at 4-count exercises).
Lie down flat on your stomach and place your hands right next to your chest while making sure your
elbows are tucked in tightly behind you. Raise your entire body a few inches off the ground for your
starting point and then raise it another 6 inches for the mid-point. The only thing touching the
ground is your feet and hands.
STRIDERS: 10
A Plyometric lunge that starts out in the traditional lunge position. From there, leap into the air and
scissor your legs once so that you land with the opposite foot forward you started with.
Place your hands behind your head and keep your feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees
slightly and drive your knees to your chest. Try to jump again as soon as the balls of your feet hit
the ground.
STRIDERS: 5
WALKING LUNGES*: 50
SIT AND TUCKS: 15 in each direction, front and then each cheek.
The leg motion for sitting flutter kicks and good mornings is exactly the same as earlier in the
workout. The only difference is that your upper-body is in the sit and tuck position when you're
doing them.
ATOMIC SITUPS: 10
Lie flat on your back with your arms and legs extended. Bring your hands and feet up at the same
time and try to touch them together over the middle of your body. It's pretty comical to watch these
in the video too.

Super set 2 = 5 standard squats, 6 alternating lunges, 7 power lunges, 8 squat thrusts.
