The Secrets of Hillsboro BJJ Revealed…

Smash the limits of being a barely wet behind the ears Hillsboro BJJ grappler to submitting intermediate level Hillsboro BJJ grapplers in the shortest time possible.

Dear Future or Present Hillsboro BJJ student,

Are you interested in….

1. Submitting some intermediate level grapplers in as low as 1 month (depending how hard you work of course and how much you take in)

2. Having enough submission defense to stay in the game with intermediate to some advanced level grapplers

3. Having an exact system and plan for every grappling competition, fight, or MMA fight you enter

4. Short cutting the time it takes you to get from beginner grappler to formidable intermediate grappler

5. Be ready for your first Hillsboro BJJ tournament in under 3 months or less

6. Learning a system developed by MMA legend, Frank Shamrock

Seem impossible? You’re totally right. It should seem impossible, but I only ask you to read through the evidence and the case studies I present below and if you still think its baloney then you can navigate away. But, if you find what I am saying the least bit creditable and for you, then I only ask you consider what I say and take advantage of what I have to offer you at the bottom. Then and only then should you decide if this is a yes or no, with that in mind, read below.

Let me admit something to you that no other Hillsboro BJJ or MMA school owner will

There was a time when I absolutely sucked, and it was my genesis to becoming a great teacher, feared grappler, and opening my own grappling school… Let me explain…

It was nearly 8 years ago I took a 260 lbs man into my guard (which was a smart idea at the time not so much anymore as the pile of knocked out bodies grow every UFC event). He was a wrestler and I was barely wet behind my ears in Hillsboro BJJ. Now, I won’t lie to you, I was a phenom standing. I took to stand up fighting like water and everyone assumed that that would transfer to the ground very easily, but for me it didn’t. The truth was the ground was a maze that I didn’t have the map to solve. I knew it was a bad idea, but he was young, never grappled before, and I thought that would give me and edge. I was in a Hillsboro BJJ class for at least 3 months before this incident, mind you, and I think it’s an instructive story of how things really go. Anyway…

Whoosh! We both hit the ground with him in my guard, and to tell you the truth I’m not sure that my guard was even good enough to do anything at that point. I think my whole guard offense included… Wait for it… Wait for it… And arm bar… Maybe a guillotine, and if that’s all you have when you hit the ground, you’re in big trouble. (Another story later about a professional fighter’s grab bag of submissions as related to me at another time. It’s worth a read). I didn’t have any sweeps and I think my instructor was counting on me to push this guy into submission, and I thought to myself. Are you kidding? I was about 150 lbs, and giving up about 110 to this guy. Plus he had wrestled, so getting him on his back (at the time) wouldn’t be happening from standing up. I doubt a 150 kid just getting started in Hillsboro BJJ be able to do that unless their name is BJ Penn.

So I’m holding guard, trying to figure out what to do and going through my huge (I’m kidding here) arsenal of deadly techniques (haha). And suddenly I feel a giant forearm across my neck. I’m trying to breathe and trying to maneuver my head left to right to find space, and he’s grinding it down on me and punishing me. Believe me, this was no fun. I can feel the aspirations of my coach in Hillsboro BJJ slipping away, as I struggle for air. Then it happened.…

I tapped.

That’s right no sudden beam of light. No sudden knowledge. Just me purely having to tap because I didn’t know enough BJJ to take this guy down. And guess what my instructor was so mad at me. This is a situation that happens more often than anyone would like to admit, instructors have big bravado and this Hillsboro BJJ gym was no different. Yes, I was phenomenal standing but the ground was escaping me. I was embarrassed, my throat hurt.

And I was sick of grappling, because in spite of all the teaching and the all the submission work, I was getting nowhere fast.

I’m sure you’ve felt this way too. Or you’re going to, in fact, it happens to all of us. It’s completely normal, sooner or later; you’re going to meet someone who eats your lunch on the mat. Or he eats your lunch when you’re standing, it just happens. The truth is that the only way to get good is to go against people better than you and to get the right training (more on this later).

This experience hung with me forever. I couldn’t believe how much hard work I had put into this side of the game and I absolutely sucked at it. When my Hillsboro BJJ instructor talked/scolded me about this situation (he dismissed me from that point on as a good fighter) I had already checked out and was internally beating myself up. I told myself, “I’m going to get better at this side if it kills me.” Or I’m going to have to quit going to this Hillsboro BJJ gym. Whichever came first… (Actually the decision was made for me when the instructor of this Hillsboro BJJ gym left town leaving me noticeably instructor free.)

I scoured books and videos, searching through Hillsboro BJJ schools and training with people who were good at submitting people, but absolutely sucked at teaching (which is about 90% of schools. In fact, if you’ve trained a little bit anywhere you know that they teach you techniques, and you have a very hard time finding them in ground grappling games (in any Hillsboro BJJ schools or any schools anywhere for that matter). That’s a BIG problem. Still, I couldn’t find the answer…

So I went back to the beginning. It’s not a secret that I idolized Frank Shamrock (in fact, he was one of the reasons I started training at that Hillsboro BJJ school) early in my martial arts career, at the time he was legendary and his last fight he had just put away Tito Ortiz in an epic battle where he gave away a lot of weight. In fact when I got the opportunity to train with him, I jumped at it. Surely an MMA legend could show me what was missing and what that Hillsboro BJJ gym couldn’t.

This when the world got exciting, I remember meeting his second in command Kelly. I stood there waiting for fifteen minutes (you don’t keep a legend waiting). Finally my knowledge of grappling would be improved, I hoped. And I wasn’t disappointed.

When Frank finally arrived and I shook his hand, I had no idea that this would catapult me from rookie to competent if not skilled intermediate grappler. I was hoping for far less, but it was everything I hoped it would be and more.

What was it that he taught me, a fast track over the basics that other Hillsboro BJJ schools skip over because they are way too overzealous trying to teach you fancy submissions you’re not ready for. But, the other thing he gave me was the foundation and the training drills that take beginners who have only grappled for 1 month able to submit intermediate guys. In fact, at the last submission grappling tournament I took a team to, the officials made an “error” once they saw what my guys could do when practicing. They “accidentally” took my rank beginners and made them roll with the intermediate crowd by “messing” up the applications.

The girls I taught in my own Hillsboro BJJ/MMA club went to submission tournament, armed with about 6 months of training went up girls with 1 to 2 years grappling experience and gave up at least 40 lbs and still placed 3rd and 4th (2nd if my grappler wasn’t so tired she couldn’t finish the ankle lock she had wrapped on the 2nd place finisher. Need proof? It’s on the site (just see the homepage, you’ll see the girls who trained with me in my Hillsboro BJJ school).

Can I take you to advanced grappler? Probably but to be honest if you’re ready for that level you’re better off going to a really good Hillsboro BJJ school like Impact BJJ or Team Quest for wrestling (in Portland). Why? It’s not that they’re better schools, but that they have totally different focuses than I do. My focus is to take a rank beginner and get them to intermediate as fast as possible, and then beyond that if that’s what they want (but I only do this if the student really wants to be advanced under me. In fact, encourage students to leave to the school to learn more if they want to fight competitively, you must learn from multiple schools to be the best fighter you can be). Right now you’re seeing fighters (and I’m not going to name names because I don’t want knocks on my door steps from professional fighters who need to leave their school and train elsewhere but have too much loyalty to school) lose fights because their style hasn’t change or evolved in two to four years. Here’s how seriously I am about this fact, I put my white belt on (or empty my cup as Bruce Lee would say, often. Even when the other instructor owns their own Hillsboro BJJ school.) That’s how I stay ahead, I’m not afraid to become a beginner to learn something that might be my next revelation. But, I mostly focus on beginners to intermediate fast. Fast enough to get you onto the mat with good skills that will allow you submit 99% of grapplers with the same amount of grappling time and 90% with a year or two on you in ground time. And anyone above that, you’ll at least be competitive with, and have enough submission defense to give them a heck of lot of trouble where you can engage your stand up skills (which, if you train with me you’ll be amazing at. You really didn’t think you’d just get skills that would let you compete with the good Hillsboro BJJ schools, did you? Yep, you’ll get my stand up too.)

My focus is taking guys like myself who are frustrated with getting submitted by everyone and their uncle in their normal Hillsboro BJJ gym. Guys who go to class and do the techniques but cannot find a way to use the techniques they learn inside of a real grappling situation. Why? Because I was there, I know how frustrating it was, and how it felt to be treated like a child when you put so much time and effort in training in some Hillsboro BJJ school. When you sweat, bled, sacrificed, paid money, and nothing worked.

My other focus is to teach you lost submissions that people are only rediscovering right now. Things like armless triangles (sweet submission you’ve got to see if you’re any kind of submission lover), cobra chokes, figure four leg locks (yes it works and I can show you how). The stuff that old catch wrestlers used and people only joke about using nowadays. This stuff is so secret I’ve caught it them on good grapplers because they had no idea that they would work. It’s my secret submission stash and almost no other Hillsboro BJJ or grappling gym have some of the submissions I do.

What’s more, I can teach you this system and you can learn other people’s systems faster and get results faster. You wanna learn the rubber guard? Then my system will speed up the effectiveness of your rubber guard in no time flat? X guard techniques? OK. You’ll be using your X guard effectively in friendly grappling and competitions faster than any other way. You can take the system back to your home Hillsboro BJJ gym and accelerate your results ASAP.

I’m just training for fitness and have a little fun.

That’s awesome. My training is built to include fitness, and guess what its fun. You can get fitter working through this program because I spent many years working as a personal trainer and I’ve combined both systems. Depending on the students your with the system can be more fitness or more technique and you’ll still be a kick *ss grappler in no time. Plus, you’ll make new friends you can call on if you need some buddies to back you up in fight (I don’t recommend this, but people I train and train with become close and we’re pretty much a tribe of warriors. Picture a small scale 300 band of Spartans and that’s pretty much us. Can you get that any other Hillsboro BJJ gym?).

Will I still lose using this system?

Yes, yes you will. Especially in the beginning because you won’t know the system, but everyone loses. Just look at Wagney Fabiano’s loss via triangle. Stuff happens to even the best grapplers. You’ll lose to people more skilled, and on a rare occasion you might get caught in something because you’re having a bad day. But, this will be far less likely in my system, but yes, you will still lose on a rare occasion.

I’m already training at another Hillsboro BJJ school, and/or I don’t have the time.

If you’re a beginner and you’re getting submitted right and left and getting nowhere, then training at your current Hillsboro BJJ gym is not going to help you. I don’t even have to say that because you already know it. You know that something is missing and you’re just not getting it. I can show you what it is and break you through the barrier and then you can go back to your school and resume your training. Remember, what I said up there about training. Different teachers teach different things and my system is a training system. It can be implemented right underneath whatever the other teacher teaches you and you’ll become efficient is whatever they teach you quick.

If you don’t have the time to train, then I really can’t help you there. What I can tell you is that the teaching system will maximize your training time. You’ll learn at least twice as fast and up your submission game in no time. How fast? Just take my former student Kyle Bruce who moved from my Hillsboro BJJ gym to the Mecca of MMA, California. He went to an MMA gym there and grappled with MMA fighters like Hermes Franca and earned his brown belt in 6 months (which is pretty fast). He maximized his training time and he still uses my system.

I don’t believe you.

I’m actually glad you feel that way. That means you’re one of the few people who won’t get ripped off by karate teachers who say they teach Hillsboro BJJ and MMA and really don’t. In fact, they say they’ve done “mixed martial arts” when all they’ve done is a few arts like Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Wing Chun and call it “mixed martial arts”. Don’t believe the double speak. I have a certification from Frank Shamrock, and I teach the real deal, and I teach Filipino martial arts, Jeet Kune Do (both under martial arts legend Paul Vunak), Shamrock Submission Fighting, and Scientific Wrestling.

But I digress from martial arts thieves (they are everywhere by the way; you’ll run into some of my competitors who want to rip you off).

Here’s the facts… You don’t have to believe me; in fact that’s why I offer a 7 day money back guarantee. If any time during the seven days after your first class in my Hillsboro BJJ gym if you feel like it’s not for you. I’ll give you all your money back. It’s just that simple.

I don’t want to sign a contract.

That’s good, because currently, I have none! I do the billing myself and take cash, check, or PayPal (that’s how you can pay with credit cards if you want, I’ll give you the address to send the payments to if that’s how you want to do it). I could take cards at the current place I train but I can’t give your money back for thirty days (because they hold the money that long before I see it for “verification purposes”. That means if you hated the Hillsboro BJJ class I couldn’t give you any money back for thirty days, so I refrain from using that service even though the service fees are lower for it. I just don’t like the possible problems with the service).

Ok, enough with the talk how much is it and what do I get from your Hillsboro BJJ training?

Here’s what you get.

  • You get semi private training from me, which means it will be no more than 4 people at a time. Bruce Lee believed that group classes were the worst possible way to teach martial arts and I have to agree with him. This way I can tune the workout more toward you without having to run around and worry about 16 other people too.
  • My system which will blow the doors off your learning curve and make you an intermediate grappler in no time at all.
  • The exact system Frank Shamrock, MMA legend, showed me and beyond. Yes every system can be tweaked and made to give you more (dare I say, even mine?)
  • Tweaks from Lloyd Irvin’s system into mine (I have to admit this is totally new technology, so you’ll be getting stuff I didn’t give my original students)
  • You’ll get fitter; I build my systems to make maximum use of training time. You have to get fit and learn at the same time, or I don’t do it.
  • It’s not a boring piece mail system. Most teachers only teach in bits and pieces and not in a logical progression. This is part of my shortcut to becoming good quick in my Hillsboro BJJ gym. Every piece has to relate to the previous, that way you’re learning at maximum speed. If the pieces can’t fit, then it shouldn’t be trained. (This is a major part of the system, don’t skip this part, this alone will get you good quick). What’s a logical progression look like? Take a look below to find out more, it won’t make sense to you now, but it will. Here’s a system you can start training today (what’s even worse is that I could make it much longer, the way I teach gives you the power to build out systems and input new moves ASAP. Picture it as JKD on the ground. Take what works, throw out the suck, and add what’s specifically your own). How good is the information below how about 24 moves deep? Is that enough for your closed guard offense? How much better can you be by taking the information and installing the matrix into your system today? (Note: Click the picture to see all 24 moves.)
