We are excited to announce a NOGI Seminar with Renzo Gracie Black Belt, Shawn Williams on Sunday July 20th from 1-3 pm. Shawn is one of the most knowledgeable grappling coaches anywhere and many of the techqniques I've learned throughout my career in jiu jitsu have been passed down from Shawn and/or Warrent of Stout PGH.

This seminar will focus on Ankle locks! This is a topic that both beginners and advanced jiu jitsu students are more and more interested in. Unfortunately there is not a lot of good online, organized content from modern instructors on this. Shawn will give a basic framework for thinking about ankle locks that will benefit beginners who are starting to learn leg locks in general. Then he will show techniques and strategies both offensive and defensive around the ankle lock.
