Unlock one of Jiu Jitsu’s most suffocating, high-percentage finish systems with Mastering the Kata Gatame by Shawn Williams—a course built for grapplers who are tired of “almost” submissions and want a repeatable process that closes the door on escapes.

This isn’t a collection of random head-and-arm tips. Shawn delivers a unique 3-stage approach designed to dramatically increase your finish rate, turning the Kata Gatame into a dependable weapon you can apply under pressure, in sparring, and in competition. You’ll learn how to progress through each stage with purpose—so instead of squeezing harder and hoping, you’ll be systematically tightening the trap until the outcome becomes inevitable.

What makes this system especially dangerous is Shawn’s closed-loop methodology: once you lock the position, your opponent isn’t just “defending”—they’re stuck inside a loop of problems where every reaction feeds your next layer of control. They either fold to the pressure or make a predictable mistake—and you’ll know exactly how to capitalize when it happens. The result is a Kata Gatame that feels less like a single submission attempt and more like a sequence of forced outcomes.

If you want a Kata Gatame that works against tough partners—people who know the escapes, people who won’t panic, people who can survive—this course gives you the structure to trap, cook, and finish with control instead of chaos.
