What You'll Discover in 30 Days
How The 30-Day Challenge Works
Why We Created The Monthly Challenges
We actually want to make a real difference to your game in a short period of time.
After years of teaching, we discovered a hard truth: The more techniques we taught, the less students remembered. So we stripped everything down to answer one question:
If the answer is no, it doesn't make it into the Challenge.
Your 30-Day Side Control Escape System
Each week focuses on ONE building block and ONE escape that actually works
The Foundation Frame
Create an unmovable structure
Master the Hip Escape Frame that changes everything. This single frame becomes the foundation for all your escapes.
- The ONE frame that makes everything else possible
- Your first reliable escape that works under pressure
The Pendulum Escape
Attach to your opponent and use their weight
Stop exhausting yourself fighting their pressure. Learn to flow with them and make their weight work for your escape.
- Use their pressure to power your escape
- Perfect timing without muscling
The Famous Underhook
Move at the perfect moment
Everyone knows the underhook escape, but most get the timing wrong. Learn when to actually get it and how to make it work against resistance.
- The details nobody teaches about underhooks
- Why most people fail with this classic move
The Wrestler Escape
Use gravity, not strength
What do you do when they won't budge? When they're crushing you with all their weight? This escape breaks through the heaviest pressure.
- Escape from opponents who won't move
- Complete your escape system
The Result After 30 Days
Four escapes built on fundamental principles that work whether you're tired, smaller, or getting smashed. Not 47 variations you'll forget – just what you'll actually remember when it counts.
Students Are Having Breakthrough Moments Every Week
From "I can't escape" to "training partners are asking what happened to me" in just weeks
"Can you believe I have never thought to shoot my head down the mat?? It's so simple sometimes. And yes, I'm turning in because half guard is life 🤘🤘"
— Tony Boniface
"I rolled with a young blue belt for 5 minutes... the blue belt had to take off his gi and needed a break because he was gassed from our roll. This never happened to me before at my age."
— Elmer Querubin, White Belt
"Last night I started every round from bottom of side control just focusing on my frame. I was able to get out every time but one (seasoned black belt doing sleeve control wizardry to me)"
— John Simmerman
"There were so many times I heard 'buck' and 'shrimp' and 'pull your arm out' and 'knee slide'...all at the same time. I'm starting to Jiu Jitsu more and Wrestling less."
— Elmer, after 3 weeks
"Week 2 challenge is exciting - because the week 1 challenge consistently caused a reaction from my training partners...that I was way overthinking how to deal with 🤯"
— Buddy Iafrate
"The best part about this community is that my biggest 'oh shit' moment hasn't been my own question - it's the 'too simple' fix that everyone is currently beating themselves up for not thinking of earlier"
— Andrew Molyneux
Join 100+ students discovering these "too simple" breakthroughs every week

Chris "Bones" Burns
2nd Degree Black Belt Under Rickson Gracie
Chris teaches Jiu-Jitsu that works for everyone – especially the 40-year-old who trains once a week, the smaller person in class, or anyone who can't rely on athleticism.
When it comes to side control escapes, Chris learned the hard way. Years of being smashed, exhausted from endless bridging and shrimping, until Rickson showed him the simple frames and principles that actually work.
The 6 Principles That Guide Every Lesson
"In this Side Control Challenge, I'll show you what took me 10 years to discover"
Chris breaks down the exact frames, timing, and principles that work for the 40-year-old training once a week, not just young athletes. These are the same escapes that let his students – many in their 40s and 50s – finally stop getting stuck under side control.
