Everybody talks about the hips, but the knees are the second engine of jiu-jitsu, and few people understand how to put them to work better than Jay Zeballos.
- Black belt under Jean Jacques Machado who has trained under him since the 1990s and has spent years competing in the black belt master divisions.
- In The Hidden Engine, Zeballos breaks down how deliberate knee work changes your side control, knee on stomach and mount escapes, your closed guard and half guard, and how you defend and open the guard.
- This isn't just a guard course, it's a set of mechanics that adds depth to the techniques you already do, from your first escape to your guard attacks.
