Even though his hips have been passed, Tonon looks to prevent Burns from establishing controlling grips on his upper body. From there he’s able to be mobile with his hips and recover guard. You’ll see this pattern repeat itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/428e0f5a-2af0-4634-a8ec-cb265227207b/6po77y.gif Study - Watching Footage- Preventing the Cross-face - Elbow escaping from a tight body lock by focusing on his opponents cross-face arm and again stopping the transition of controls up the body. I think the pattern is becoming self-evident. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/9728ca1e-9ecb-4da4-b53b-ee02b542da90/6po82k.gif Study - Watching Footage- Preventing the Cross-face - Again, a low tight pass attempt from Durinho stuffed due to an inability to stay chest to chest or control the head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/3747d549-5f61-48bf-bc86-b8406fc6d19a/6po8ek.gif Study - Watching Footage- Preventing the Cross-face - Defending the double-unders pass by stressing Durinho’s grips forcing him to move quicker than is ideal. Thinking ahead, Tonon is able to prevent any dominating control of his upper body by preventing the cross face from being established and recovers his half-guard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/798cf187-c8ae-4840-a186-0fc906f8b998/Garry_Tonon_vs_Mansher_Khera.gif Study - Watching Footage- Preventing the Cross-face - Here you can see Garry fight to connect his hands between his opponent's cross-face arm and himself and use the space created to scramble away, having to turn his back in order to initiate an escape and ensuing scramble. https://www.richmondbjj.com/study/nrursgfyf0da4oiwc2ku8lfak2hdcz monthly 0.5 2023-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/dcedc26d-fa95-45f9-b872-320c1e3d7d1d/hulk+in+a+gi.jpg Study - Taming the Hulk: Surviving and Thriving with Aggressive Training Partners in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Make it stand out “Let’s just roll light” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/ba5a2124-56f7-4c7b-8893-6f247d8d1719/smash.gif Study - Taming the Hulk: Surviving and Thriving with Aggressive Training Partners in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Make it stand out The Avengers, or a very aggressive white belt rolling https://www.richmondbjj.com/study/video101 monthly 0.5 2023-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/fac69247-679c-49a4-bf8e-2aa7686e887b/ezgif.com-optimize.gif Study - Mastering BJJ Footage Analysis: A Step-by-Step Guide - Make it stand out Revolution BJJ instructor Andrew Smith shows a similar sweep on BJJ Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/236891b6-2a61-4424-88b7-d125c8d4b9dc/ezgif.com-optimize+%281%29.gif Study - Mastering BJJ Footage Analysis: A Step-by-Step Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.richmondbjj.com/study-1 daily 0.75 2023-06-17 https://www.richmondbjj.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/1625858942957-4XZR28LSYWI6KTFKXG9D/RichmondBJJ2019-100.jpg Home - Training BJJ & Muay Thai is fun & challenging.

BJJ uses specifically-designed techniques to control your opponent on the feet, and on the ground, if the fight goes there. The techniques of BJJ allow you to control your opponent, and decide the outcome of a physical altercation while equipping you the tools that increase your chances of skillfully escaping situations with minimal damage. BJJ places great emphasis on controlling a dominant situation so you can strike, apply various joint locks, chokes, or escape a bad situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/1625858826173-D7UEEJZZF4P27CMQROM2/RichmondBJJ2019-41.jpg BJJ - A female BJJ Black Belt’s unique perspective “I’ve never had anything as rewarding and empowering in my life as training BJJ & Muay Thai. It’s also the most challenging thing I’ve done in my life. The kind of goals I’ve set & accomplished, & who I’ve become, make my time on the mats so worth it. I love passing that opportunity onto others.” ~Liz Sussan, Richmond, VA’s first female Black Belt “A lot of women don’t know their inner strength and they don’t have confidence in themselves. Once they know what they are capable of, they become better as a person not only in the BJJ world, but in their normal life. I know many women who were afraid to be themselves before Jiu-Jitsu and after they started doing it, they changed for the better, they are more confident and stronger physically and mentally.” ~Hannette Staack, 10x BJJ World Champion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df68b141b02f78f053e8e6/1625859024452-OD0K6FGW656JBI1Y4IVV/RichmondBJJ2019-4.jpg BJJ - The benefits of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu… Whether your goals are self-defense, sport competition, weight loss, switching up your workout routine, stress relief, or living a healthier lifestyle, we’re ready to help you with all of it in a fun and positive atmosphere.
