This video is an absolute game changer. Todd’s details in his shrimping and escape techniques are something I have never seen before.

nice expansion on the basics
Although the shrimp is a rather basic move, this video shows some interesting variations and applications. I'm going to drills these with a partner to improve my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Clear and effective
Nice presentation style and nuggets throughout to get you moving on bottom.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Great teacher
I love the way Todd teaches. So logical and thorough. He truly cares that he is getting everything across to you in each move. Very creative thinker too. Wished I knew about him years ago! I have a ton of fanatics videos (225+ purchased so far and counting) and this is a very, very special one to help fix the shrimping problem when mounted. Hope he produces more videos for other parts of his game. Also my first review on any fanatics release so far. So I found one special enough to be worth taking my time to write a review. If you struggle with mount escapes and shrimping out this one is different from all others.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:New pillars of JiuJitsu
Todd is an extremely talented grappler and coach. He was a black belt when I was a white belt over 20 years ago. Its nice to see his talent not being wasted and sharing some new areas where JiuJitsu keeps evolving. His break down and study of this position is awesome and certainly tested.
