My Three Favourite De La Riva Submissions

By 1 Comment

The De La Riva guard is one of the most effective guards in Jiu Jitsu and a very strong attacking position. If you can force your opponent into your De La Riva guard you’ll be in a great position to win the contest.

In this video, you’ll learn one of the ways I force people into my De La Riva guard and three of my favourite submissions that come off that initial attack. Plus you’ll also learn a bunch of other things that will improve your De La Riva game, including:

– correct foot position and how it’ll stop you getting your guard passed
– how I crush the life out of people in my triangle
– the leg position that will help increase your Omaplata success.

Rolling With Tom Is Born…

By Leave a Comment

It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.

A while ago, I had a ‘vision’ for a way to help people that need support on their Jiu Jitsu journey, just like I did. Well, that vision is about to become a reality, as RIGHT NOW my membership group is open.

It’s called ‘Rolling with Tom’ and this video cover’s exactly what it is and how it will benefit your Jiu Jitsu.

Join Rolling With Tom For Only £1!

And I want it to be a place where you can come and get feedback, support, and your questions answered quickly.

But I don’t want this to be about me; it’s bigger than that.  It’s about trying to help as many people as possible reach their full potential and give them the support I struggled with as I was coming up through the ranks.

And, I will bust my a$$ to help those people that join to the best of my abilities.

You see that’s the thing; I honestly believe there are a lot of people who would benefit from the support, feedback, and accountability this group will offer … just like I would have.

However, I’m going to capping it at 100 peeps because I want to give them my complete focus.

After that?

One in, one out.

Limiting the group size will ensure I deliver to the best of my abilities, and have the resources to re-invest in the group.

In case you haven’t seen what’s included, this is what you get as one of the founding 100:

  1. Daily Access to me to get fast answers to your questions.
  2. Accountability so you can stay focussed on your goals and achieve them faster.
  3. Feedback and Analysis so you can fix your problems right away. (worth £25 – £50.00)
  4. Instructionals and Seminars from me and my friends to continually develop your Jiu Jitsu knowledge. (worth between £17 – £27.00)
  5. Weekly Check-in where you can share your wins and what’s working for you know.
  6. Training Plans so you have a structured way to keep progressing
  7. 20% Off ALL future digital products if you are a member.
  8. Ask Me Anything Webinars or Live Streams.
  9. The Simple Submission System (worth £27.00)
  10. The Simple Passing System (worth £27.00)
  11. The Game Analysis Sheet so you can keep track of the areas you need to work

And, there will be lots more to come.

The price? I almost forget to tell you. It’s only £1 first month then £17 per month after that.

Insane considering the value of what you’re getting.

I will still regularly give you great content, my focus will be serving the members of ‘Rolling with Tom’ to the best of my abilities.

Arm Bar From Side Control

By Leave a Comment

For a long time, I’ve had the dream of opening a full-time Jiu Jitsu Academy. However, due to a mix of circumstances that idea got put on the back burner, and honestly, at one point I thought it might never happen.

Well, yesterday, that dream became a reality, and I opened my new Jiu Jitsu Academy (hopefully the first of many). Although it’s not 100% finished it already looks amazing and will be an incredible place for people to train.

Anyway, as part of the opening, I taught a seminar covering some of my favourite attacks from side control.  And I want to share one of those with you now.  It’s one of the ways I attack the armbar from side control and three ways I counter my opponents defence. Check it out below:

You’ll also get to see a little of what my new gym looks like.

My Favourite Pass (…right now)

By Leave a Comment

As Jiu Jitsu players, we all fall in love with techniques from time to time. Those techniques can be anything from a simple grip change to a submission, but every time you train you try to use them. And when you catch it you feel on top of the world.

I’ve had many favourite techniques throughout my Jiu Jitsu career, but my current obsession is a pass I learned from Rafa Mendes. It’s awesome (well at least I think it is)

It’s difficult to stop, gives you some great attacking options, and you can get it from several different positions. Oh, and it works just as well Gi and No Gi.

So what’s the pass? Watch this video to find out.

Do you need to improve your passing? You can get the Simple Passing System now for a very special price.

Visit https://tombarlowonline.com/archive-simple-passing-position/ to see an overview of the system and how it could improve your guard passing.

How To Start A Fight…

By Leave a Comment

One of the most neglected areas of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is how you should start a match.

Everyone learns what you should do while in a guard or how to escape the mount, but those first few moments of a match can be vital in securing the victory.

After all, how you start a match can dictate where the fight takes place. For example, if you’re a guard player and your opponent beats you to the pull, you’re forced to either work your passing or give up point to get to your guard.

A short while ago, I filmed a video for the Warrior Collective that outlined some of my strategies for starting a match.

In the video, I cover my gripping strategy, some basic attacks, and how I pull guard, plus some basic grip breaking strategies. Check it out below.
