The Switch Series
Stop getting stuck on bottom and turn the tables with the Switch. This reversal is taught to wrestlers in their first month — yet there are black belts who have no clue how it can be used for sweeps from the guard, and even submissions. Add a powerful reversal your opponents have never seen.

Why learn the Switch Series?
The Switch is applied from common positions you get into in every fight — and it's approachable for all ages, skill levels, and body types. Here's what it gives you:
Reverse from the bottom
As the name implies, the Switch flips you from bottom to top in the blink of an eye — escapes, sweeps, and back-takes from one move.
Beat the shot
Every basic shot is vulnerable to the Switch — the double, the head-inside single, the high crotch, body locks, and reverse body locks all get turned over.
Chain into submissions
Black belts miss how it sets up sweeps and finishes. Flow straight from the Switch into Kimuras, guillotines, omoplatas, calf slicers, and the truck.
What does the Switch Series cover?
14 techniques broken down into every little detail over ~56 minutes — with free updates for life (20 minutes added since release). You also get the Switch Series Mind Map, a chart of how each move connects to the next so you get the most out of your Switch game. Streamed on any device, and shipped on DVD.
The Switch From Fours
How it is classically first learned in folkstyle wrestling — switch your opponent from the turtle position before he gets his hooks in.
Reswitch
If you're getting switched, the best counter is to switch right back. Be a fast switcher and stop people from reswitching you.
Switch to Kimura
Stuck and can't finish the Switch? Turn it into a Kimura and make them regret countering you.
Kimura Trap Switch Counter
A slick roll that takes you right into a Kimura Trap when you get switched — almost no one on the planet sees this coming.
Switch from Guard
If you like sitting up from guard to attack guillotines and Kimuras, you have to learn this.
Switch Against the Double Leg
One of the strongest ways to counter a deep double leg — and make your opponent eat mat in a hurry.
Switch Against Back Body Lock
The standing Switch off the fence — the same series Carlos Condit hit on Georges St-Pierre.
Switch Against Single Legs
Head-outside or head-inside single, standing or grounded — you can Switch them.
Switch off the Cage
This is what got David into the Switch. It's far more powerful off the fence, which gives you time to set up.
Switch to Hip Heist
Against a veteran wrestler you might get stuck and not cut the corner — the hip heist gets you there anyway.
Switch to Calf Slicer to Truck
Really throw people off guard: put them in a calf slicer, or better yet, into the truck.
Switch to Guillotine Choke
A simple, easy, effective path into a strong guillotine straight off the Switch.
Switch to Omoplata
If the Kimura is not enough of a shoulder lock for you, the omoplata is always an option.
The Reverse Seat Belt
The cousin to the Switch — an unusual position that frustrates people to no end. Works from guard, half guard, even bottom side mount. A big game changer.
Does the Switch work in MMA and BJJ?
Absolutely. All the basic shots are vulnerable to the Switch — the double, the head-inside single, and the high crotch. The body lock and reverse body lock can be Switched. You can Switch from your knees and off your back, whether you're in guard, half guard, or even bottom side control. Carlos Condit hit a standing Switch on one of the best MMA wrestlers of all time, Georges St-Pierre — and the Switch ties straight into the Kimura Trap, so whenever you're Switching you can Kimura, and whenever a Kimura is defended you can Switch.
Who it's for
- You want to be ahead of the curve in BJJ and MMA with a more solid wrestling counter game.
- You want a versatile tool that works on the feet or off your butt.
- You are a victim to shots and end up on your fours a lot.
- You are a Kimura Trapper and want the flows between Kimura and Switch that complete the system.
