I was just looking up what a teepee choke was when it was mentioned in another thread. Lo and behold the very first answer Google provided was a 12-year-old video from the Submissions 101 channel! This brought back memories and got me somewhat curious.
Back when I was a Sherdog regular (around 9 to 5 years ago) Ari Bolden was a bete noire of the grappling sub-forum. He was widely mocked for his YouTube instructionals and--IIRC--was regarded as having no standing in the arts he claimed to teach.
How are he and Submissions 101 doing 2020 (outside of the problems all gyms are facing with Covid-19)? Has there been a redemption arc, or has he merely faded from peoples consciousness due to the fact that there are now so many YouTube channels that teach BJJ techniques now?
