The ADCC West Coast Trials saw many shocking submissions but the newly christened “Cisneros stretch” was maybe the most spectacular.

Few techniques carry a personal stamp the way guillotines do. Guillotine artists have often found ways to put their own spin on the front headlock, and to make their variations integral to their personal brands.

Now that the IBJJF will be allowing heel hooks in 2021, it's time to brush up on your leglock knowledge. There are several leg entanglements, and most of them have a variety of names. Need to refine on your terminology? The official FloGrappling leg entanglement reference guide is here!

Tommy Langaker and Espen Mathiesen are two Norweigans who have exploded onto the competition scene in the last year. 

In this video, All-Japan light featherweight champion Tomoyuki Hashimoto shows how to submit your opponent with a straight footlock from the de la riva guard. Representing the Carpe Diem jiu-jitsu team in Tokyo, black belt Hashimoto developed the technique after watching Caio Terra use it with success.

Wow! What a weekend for some killer grappling action. In case you missed it, FloGrappling had three HUGE events running over the past several days: the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam in Tokyo, Five Grappling's Lightweight Pro Invitational, and Fight to Win Pro 40. 

Think of the nastiest, most-painful no-gi choke you possibly can... Justin Rader's 'decapi-rader' is worse. 

The European Championships has come and gone but it will surely go down as one of the most exciting events of the year. With a competitor list boasting over 2,800 entrants and some of the most competitive black belt division we've seen in recent memory FloGrappling had to take a minute to reflect on the mega-tournament. Catch the highlights below!
