Great instructional
I love the head and arm position because I find myself there all the time. Once you get used to controlling your opponent and preventing the back take, there are a lot of options. Josh is a great instructor and really expanded my horizons with different finishes and details to maintain control. I definitely recommend checking it out.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Painful bone-crushing, soul-stealing techniques!!!
You can see the pure glee in Josh Barnett's eyes as he discusses how painful AND demoralizing the techniques he presents in this DVD can be when executed properly. The head and arm ride, as Josh demonstrates, offers ample opportunities for both pain and demoralization. Josh gives details to help anyone maximize the amount of pressure they can generate in the ride without compromising the position, while also offering several techniques capable of finishing a match but also capable of making someone miserable and taxing their strength and willpower even on failed attempts. Some of the techniques were new to me, and some were old favorites that Josh provided new details for. I found the the DVD dedicated to ways to enter the head and arm ride especially valuable - I've been playing judo side for quite a while so I'm excited to have more ways to get there. While Josh generally contextualizes the techniques within his catch wrestling heritage, citing famous wrestlers that have utilized this or that technique, he also is very aware that BJJ practitioners like myself are viewers as well - and he addresses options that we can use in BJJ competitions. In short, if you enjoy hurting people - this DVD is a must-have in your library of pain!

Adding Kesa Gatame has made a huge improvement to my game. Between that and my judo throws it can be hard to find a roll though :sweat_smile:
