Ever faced one of those BJJ players with ultra-frustrating guards? You know the ones. They tie you up in knots while you waste energy trying to pass.
Back in when I used to train at AOJ, I spent countless hours battling these types of opponents. I’d try every type of pass I could think of to get around their legs. Often, that’d result in me getting frustrated, tired, and eventually berimbolo’d.
I didn’t start seeing passing success until I did less – a lot less.
And it happened purely by accident. I was training with a particularly tough guard player and getting frustrated as usual. In a last-ditch attempt, I attempted the crazy dog pass but failed miserably. I ended up in a very loose passing position.
But I noticed something as I sat in this weird, loose position, wondering what to do next – My opponent couldn’t do ANYTHING offensive.
His only option was to frame and try to recover, which I could easily shut down with my grips.
At that moment, the Lazy Dog was born.
I realised I’d been going about passing all wrong. I was smashing myself against guards like Zoolander trying to get into Mugato’s computer. But that’s EXACTLY what they want you to do.
It’s WAY easier to walk around to the side and start passing from there.
Lazy but effective.
Since that day, the Lazy Dog pass has become my go-to way to flip the tables on annoying guard players and put them under pressure.

““The Lazy dog masterclass was great, every small detail explained and practiced. I will definitely try this for the upcoming months.” – Anders K. (Brown Belt)
“I found it incredibly helpful and even managed to use it in comp class last night” – Aaron U. (White Belt)
“I loved the masterclass. It was super helpful! I’ve been struggling with passing for a long time, (and burying my head in the sand about it!) so it’s given me some great places to start practicing that feel manageable” – Jess R. (Blue Belt)
“I absolutely loved the masterclass, the amount of different techniques you were able to share from one type of pass was brilliant. I thought the back take when their framing arm slips over you and the dope mount pass were awesome, two I’m trying to use when passing.” – Jordan M. (White Belt)

DAYS HOURS MINS SECS
I decided to sign up for Escapology Online after having some success with the Simple Submission System. I liked the way Tom broke down the moves and concepts and then strung them altogether with the drills and Mind Map.
I have not been in the gym as much as I’d like this first month but the days I’ve been in I have seen some progress especially with my side control.
On top of this the accessibility of Tom and Chelsea through this group is enough for the money. They get back very quickly with great advice along with the other members of the group. I’ll be sticking around with this group!
S.G. (White Belt)
I’ve know Tom for many years and in that time i have seen him evolve into an elite level competitor and coach. This is a rare combination.
Like Tom, i struggled have regular training partners and an instructor around me full time to guide me on my jj journey. Trial and error was my coach.
Escapology Online is a superb platform to help students, coaches and school owners alike to have access to some of the UK’s leading BJJ coaches.
I highly recommend Escapology Online to anyone serious about taking their Jiu Jitsu training to a new level. It is like have Tom and Chelsea with you on the mats.
J.E. (Black Belt)
BJJ is an art of centimetres and the better you get the tighter you need to be.
BJJ is accessible with countless videos and great rolls in class but with a simple question answered or video observation or critique from a competitive Black Belt as they arise, a bad habit can be stopped before it takes root, wasted time can be saved searching or experimenting to find an answer.
To this end the small, focused and technique driven closed group accelerates learning, increases motivation and ultimately improves your BJJ and fun.
J.H. (Purple Belt)
I joined this group as I have lots of holes in my game. I love BJJ and have a solid commitment to my Gym, however I needed something else.
YouTube is great for looking at random videos, but this group focuses on specific techniques, concentrated along a definitive learning path, which compliments my gym instructors and helps me focus.
The feedback is invaluable and allows me to gain second opinions on technical improvements, as well as a differing style of instruction.
S.S. (Purple Belt)
I joined the group because I struggle to get to classes regularly. I tried doing my own thing but it lacked structure and sometimes I would stop until the next class.
Since joining the group I have rarely had a day where I haven’t at least done the drills or looked at the technical guidance. And in only a month there has been an improvement.
I was concerned at first that I’d pay and not see any benefit. I was wrong and look forward to remaining a part of Escapology Online.
