Brian Glick – Crucifix Masterclass

Discover one of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s most dominant—and often overlooked—positions with Brian Glick’s Crucifix Masterclass.

• A direct student of legendary coach John Danaher, Brian breaks down the crucifix in a methodical, accessible system designed to transform this powerful position into a high-percentage part of your game.
• Unlike many traditional control positions, the crucifix doesn’t rely on the core principles you may be used to—like chest-to-chest pressure or strong positional anchors
• Instead, it leverages advanced, submission-based control points that create tremendous vulnerability in your opponent while giving you near-total dominance.
• Whether you’re a beginner looking to expand your arsenal or a seasoned practitioner aiming to refine your upper body attacks, Brian Glick provides a structured, conceptual roadmap that makes the crucifix not just effective—but essential.

Turn the crucifix into your secret weapon—and submit with control.
