01:00 - The internet has given us access to tons of information that can be a bit overwhelming. The challenge now becomes sifting through all of the information out there to determine what deserves our attention. This course is designed to solve this problem and provide clarity into what deserves our attention and will give us the best results.

21:23 - Whenever you are using your own body to destabilize your opponent, try to always create a path back to the top if you are on the bottom. For example, if we are attacking from the front headlock we can put our own back on the mat to break our opponent down. When doing so, our opponent can look to cover us and take top position if they escape. However, if we are able to insert a hook as we fall to the mat, now we can use that hook to get back to top position if things go wrong.

00:36 - Nicholas introduces a mounted triangle setup that prioritizes control before submission. The focus is on keeping the opponent’s back flat while setting up the triangle, ensuring they cannot create movement to escape. The key detail in the initial setup is obtaining an underhook, but instead of reaching deep under the armpit, Nicholas grips around the opponent’s neck by wrapping his fingers across the back. He then brings his elbow down into the shoulder to secure the position.
