Hi folks! A lot of y’all know that Jeff and Dave have started their own school, Bellingham BJJ.

During this time of school closures due to coronavirus, we took the time and completed a longtime goal: Jeff’s first instructional, the Omoplata System for BJJ. (We’re calling it #Omoplatapalooza)

This is a 2 hour, 40 minute digital instructional featuring more than 40 techniques and bonus content from black belt instructors (and podcast guests) Jake Whitfield and Josh Murdock.
