This week, we will be bringing you some video techniques from Matthias’ aggressive turtle guard game, and showing them applied successfully in competition.

Devotion co-founder Matthias Waggener introducing you to his turtle guard game.

Some basics to his system and a clip of him using this technique at worlds this year.

Hope you enjoy it!

A look at Monday night’s cypher with Coach Paul

Collar/sleeve control armbar technique, the base of a longer series of armbar attacks from this control/guard.

We run our sequences from standing at Devotion, but some nights we spend more time on one aspect of the sequence (standup, pass/retention, sweep/advance, submission/defense/escape) in order to make sure it “sticks.”

As the week progresses, the techniques in the sequence progress through various adjustments and reactions and is drilled live to ensure effectiveness.

Quick show and tell on the new shorts and rashguard.

Paul is 5’7” and weighs approx 180lbs. He is wearing medium shorts.

Preorder window closes Monday at midnight.
