Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You
A Collection of Submissions That Feel Illegal Because No One Teaches Them
Most jiu-jitsu instruction is safe.
Predictable.
Over-sanitized.
That’s why everyone defends it the same way.
Moves Your Instructor Never Showed You is the opposite of that.
This four-part series strips away traditional curriculum filler and replaces it with high-octane mutations of classic submissions—the kind of techniques that feel like secrets because they’re rarely taught, rarely expected, and brutally effective when applied correctly.
This is not theory.
This is not positional sparring advice.
This is submission hunting, refined.
Start Learning Now
Over 20+ years of training, Malachy Friedman filtered out what actually finishes people and discarded the rest.
What remains is a curated arsenal of submissions, transitions, and counters that:
☑ WORK UNDER RESISTANCE
☑ CHAIN TOGETHER NATURALLY
☑ PUNISH COMMON DEFENSIVE REACTIONS
☑ CATCH EXPERIENCED OPPONENTS OFF GUARD
If you’re tired of finishing less than you should, this fixes that.
What’s Included
This instructional is divided into 4 volumes, each focused on a core submission family, with variations, counters, and transitions most people have never seen.

"Unique approach and subission settings taught systematically
Prof Zach Malachy provided a great series of setting up well known submissions in a different and highly efficient way. Either by refining the key details or by misguiding your opponent's expectations and take a different turn but keeping or even increasing your pressure/level of control. Youvget also great hacks for breaking grips and holds. He talks you through the techniques step by step from various angles and at the end of each sequence you get different angles in full speed. Highly recommend!!."

"Nontypical Moves That Aren't some Instragram BS
Malachy teaches some nontypical moves but they work without perfect timing and work with resisting partners. He also shows why they work which allows you to troubleshoot when they do not work for you."

Showed You by Malachy Friedman.

"Absolutely fantastic instructional
I've been a fan of Malachy for a while now, I have a couple of his instructionals from another site and his material is innovative to say the least. This instructional has a bit of everything but I would say it's submission heavy which is never a bad thing. There's no filler in this series, Malachy breaks each technique down perfectly giving you what you need to know to start implementing them into your game and I have to say I think every technique in this instructional is worthy of going into your game. I honestly think some of these are genius level. Follow him on Instagram and you'll get a glimpse of what your about to buy."
