Malachy Friedman – Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You

Innovation in jiu-jitsu often hides in plain sight—just outside the boundaries of traditional instruction.

In Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You, Malachy Friedman pulls back the curtain on a collection of unconventional yet highly effective techniques that many black belts overlook—or simply don’t know. This isn’t a course filled with recycled fundamentals or familiar entries. It’s a fresh, cerebral approach to BJJ, where creativity meets precision and each position opens the door to new opportunity.

Whether you’re looking to surprise seasoned opponents, break out of technical plateaus, or inject new life into your grappling, this program delivers a powerful edge.

What This Course Brings to the Mat

Malachy Friedman—renowned for his innovative transitions, traps, and concept-driven teaching—has compiled a toolkit of techniques that defy the ordinary. Each movement is built for live application, competition realism, and outthinking your opponent in dynamic situations.

What You’ll Explore:

Hidden Transitions & Unexpected Entries
Learn how to reverse-engineer common positions and use timing to enter submissions or sweeps your opponent never sees coming.

Creative Control from “In-Between” Positions
Master the gray zones between conventional guard and passing phases. Discover how to dominate from half-beat moments most fighters don’t train for.

Counter-Offense and Setup Deconstruction
Use your opponent’s aggression against them. Develop traps from standard grips and patterns to reverse pressure and initiate your own attacks.

Subtle Angles and Timing Disruptors
Explore how micro-movements, weight shifts, and grip variation can turn a neutral exchange into a positional advantage—often with minimal effort.

Application Across All Belt Levels
While the movements are innovative, they’re also teachable and executable. Whether you’re an advanced blue belt or a brown belt refining your game, this course provides tactical insight and technical fluency.

Malachy doesn’t just show techniques—he teaches how to think like a problem-solver in the heat of battle.
