Class #1208
Jugendhotel Wiederkehr, Charles Harriott, Wagrain, Austria - 03/01/2020



Concept class. Move their limb, like pulling a foot back. Not sure I fully got it though, so I'm glad there's a full vid (embedded below) ;D.

2nd Seminar with Charles Harriot, chokes and back maintenance

Seminar #034
Artemis BJJ, Charles Harriott, Bristol, UK - 08/02/2019



Good general rule, don't bend your hand up, bad for the wrist.

The choke is all about the chest. Put your arms in place, elbows close together. Doing the macarena, hand on your shoulder (instead of behind their head). Bring your elbow forwards, trying to get your elbows to meet. Get your other hand to your other shoulder. Back is straight, don't lean back: often you might need to shuffle your hips back, so there is space by your crotch. Crotch should not be pressed against their back.

You don't want to be doing any movement. Expand chest, don't breathe normally. Circular breathing, so chest doesn't rise and fall. Keep your head at the same height as their head. If they are taller, slide back to get your head at the same height.

If you only have one arm around, not yet in place, use your chin on their shoulder to keep control. Imagine you have vampire teeth under your chin, bite them in the front of the shoulder. Use your free hand to keep pushing their hand along your arm, until you can lock it by the ledge: be careful they can't grab your hand at this point. Also remember, you can always switch to a bow and arrow.

If you have that arm around, but they've managed to pull it down, use your free hand to push their shoulder forward. If it's really low, push their elbow, so that you can grab their far tricep with your choking arm. Once you've worked that to the ledge, pushing their hand out of the way if you need to, you can choke with one arm. They will probably try to pull that arm off the ledge, so protect it with your chin, over the top.

When they push up and drive you to your back, put your feet behind their knees, extend and sit them back up. Alternatively, you can turn them towards your choking arm. Bottom hook is on the choking side, your other foot is behind their leg, extending and preventing their turn.

Bottom hook the more important, also use a shoulder wedge to control them. Your shoulder behind their head as you grip.

04/01/2019 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Winter Camp 2019 | Charles Harriott, leglocks

Class #1097
Jugendhotel Wiederkehr, Charles Harriott, Wagrain, Austria - 04/01/2019

This was a repeat of the previous session Charles did at Heidelcamp last year, which he also taught again at my club in Bristol, Artemis BJJ. I don't think that's up on BJJ Globetrotters in Action, but there is a DVD Charles is selling. Well worth it, great class. It was handy to train something I've done a few times before, as insomnia was really kicking my arse this camp. I was almost falling asleep on the mats.

Why is it easier to fall asleep on the mats during the day than in a bed at night? Gah. Hopefully sorting that out when I get home, about time I checked in with my doctor. :)

Class #1094
Jugendhotel Wiederkehr, Charles Harriott, Wagrain, Austria - 03/01/2019

Great stuff, choke painlessly despite chin. There is almost no squeeze in the arms, you just have that as a brace. The power is from the chest. Main difference is that it takes some time, you have to be patient. There was however a video, so the full thing is up on BJJ Globetrotters in Action:

31/08/2018 - Friday Charles Harriott Seminar, leglocks

Seminar #032
Artemis BJJ, Charles Harriott, Bristol, UK - 31/08/2018

It was awesome to get Charles down to Bristol, not long after he taught a superb class at the Heidelberg Camp on leglocks. I was really impressed by how he introduced the concepts, paying far more attention to safety than pretty much any other instructor I've ever trained with. Really impressive, which is why I was so keen to bring him to Artemis BJJ.

Everything he taught, and more, is on his new Leglocks 101 DVD, which you can check out at BJJ Fanatics for $47. I'd also highly recommend booking him for a seminar. Charles travels a lot, so it's entirely possible he will be within reach of you at some point, wherever you are in the world. :D

Thanks again to @charlesharriott for an incredible #leglocks #seminar a couple of weeks ago! 😃 I have always been terrified of #footlocks, but training with Charles at the seminar and at the @BJJGlobetrotters Camp in Heidelberg last month has helped a lot. Definitely book him for a seminar if you ever get the chance, brilliant teaching. 👍😎 __________________________________________ Looking forward to even more Charles at Winter Camp in January! For which there are still tickets, if any of my students are reading this... 😉 https://www.bjjglobetrotters.com/wintercamp2019 #ArtemisBJJ #BJJ #BrazilianJiuJitsu #ArtemisBJJseminar #Bristol #UK #BJJglobetrotters #CharlesHarriott #ashigarami #heelhook #heelhooks #SupportWomensBJJ

17/08/2018 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Heidelberg 2018 | Charles Harriott (Ashi garami basics)

Class #1035
BJJ Globetrotter Camp (Olympiastützpunkt Rhein-Neckar) Charles Harriott, Heidelberg, Germany, 17/08/2018

Really good session on ashi garami. 'Marching' drill, feet inside, switching. Grab ankle and kick, scoot in, lock. Best option, grab other leg too. Escape drill, popping over foot. Proper escape, sit on foot to make time.
