What will You Learn?

Discover a smarter, more effective way to dominate from the front headlock—especially against larger, stronger opponents. In Rethink Front Headlocks, BJJ black belt Josh Janis breaks down a revolutionary approach that transforms this common position into a pressure-heavy, control-first system built for leverage, not strength.

Whether you’re struggling to finish the guillotine, maintain control, or deal with size and strength disparities, Josh offers a clean, no-nonsense solution. With this series, you’ll learn how to systematically break posture, create off-balance reactions, and chain submissions—even on opponents who normally overpower you.

Perfect for grapplers of all levels, especially those looking to neutralize size advantages with precision and technique.

🔑 Key Details:

  • Instructor: Josh Janis – BJJ black belt known for analytical, minimalist grappling systems

  • Focus: Front headlock control & submission system for use against larger, stronger opponents

  • Level: Suitable for all levels – with a special emphasis on smaller grapplers or those facing strength mismatches

✅ What You'll Learn:

  • The core concept that makes this front headlock system different—and more effective

  • How to shut down movement and control posture with minimal energy expenditure

  • Submission chains that flow effortlessly from front headlock, including guillotine variants, darces, and more

  • High-percentage finishing mechanics built on structure and leverage, not grip strength

  • Why traditional front headlock setups fail against big, athletic opponents—and what to do instead

  • How to use reaction traps and control layers to stay one step ahead

🎯 Why This Series Stands Out:
