Rear Naked Choke VS Face Cranks During a BJJ Roll in Training

/in , , /by

In today’s video I answer a question about using the face crank vs the rear naked choke during BJJ training.

I’ll explain my thoughts on it and why I’ll use one of the other in a normal Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session. I’ll also explain some of my personal goals and focus in a normal BJJ training session and during rolling.

Hopefully the video helps you if you had a similar question about face cranks and rear naked chokes in Jiu-jitsu.

How To Finish More Chokes in BJJ with this Unconventional Back Mount

/in , , /by

In today’s video we’re going to break a few rules and get more submissions from Back Mount in BJJ. This video was inspired by watching UFC fighter Joe Solecki in his Fury Pro Grappling match against Donald Cerrone.

In the match he opted for 2 choking arms to secure the submission. This is 1 of my favorite ways to play Back Mount in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Now I said it breaks some rules because some people will say you always have to have an underhand for control. But I’ve had so many experiences where the double choking arm style has been way more successful for me.

Check it out and I hope it helps you with your BJJ training or competitions.

Cheeky Armlock from Full Guard for a British BJJ Blue Belt

/in , /by

Recently I got asked to do a video showing a “cheeky” submission. Obviously, this request came from one of our British friends who’s a Blue Belt in Jiu-jitsu.

So in today’s BJJ technique video I’ll show you a simple “cheeky” submission that you could use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training the next time you’re rolling. It’s a super simple armlock that you can hit when you’re inside someone’s full guard.

Now this is 1 technique out of a group that I sort of classify as funny 1 shot techniques. Meaning they’ll probably work 1 time and that’s about it. If you’ve been doing BJJ for long enough. You’ve probably had some situations where someone has caught you in some weird technique and then you never fell for it again.

This is one of those techniques. Nonetheless, happy hunting for the technique the next time you’re rolling with a friend and want to throw mess around a bit.

Versatile BJJ Armlock to Counter Opponents Who Crowd Your Full Guard

/in , , , /by
Today’s BJJ technique video is from one of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes where I showed one of my favorite setups and armlocks from Full Guard / Closed Guard.

The focus of the setup is to get the person’s hand on the mat or on the outside of your body which will allow you to snag the arm and get a catch on the shoulder. From there I show a straight armlock and then transition to corkscrew armbar.
And even if you don’t like the techniques shown you can still use the setup for lots of submissions and attacks from full guard.
Hope the video gives you a useful idea to bring into your next training session. And hopefully it helps you secure an extra arm lock or two.

2 Useful Micro Adjustments To Catch & Finish Chokes in Back Mount

/in , , , , /by
In today’s BJJ technique video I show some small adjustments you can make using the collar to get more chokes from Back Mount. These small adjustments in BJJ are sometimes called things like micro adjustments or micro transitions. Which to me means that you have a big move happening (macro) and then you’re making smaller moves (micro) within that movement.

For example, in the video you saw me do the basic chair sit technique to Back Mount. Which is one of my favorite fundamental movements in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Within that large movement/transition I show a smaller hand grip change that you could consider a micro adjustment or transition.
The 2nd option is a simple collar feed which I use anytime I’ve got a good snag on collar but can’t quite get it to the finishing position.
Hopefully these small adjustments are useful to you with your ability to submit people from the back in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Peruvian Necktie ss

Effective Setup for Peruvian Necktie (And 2 Submission If It Fails)

/in /by

In today’s technique video my Black Belt buddy James Clingerman shows a sneaky Peruvian Neck Tie setup and finish from the front headlock position when defending a takedown. I’m not much of a Peruvian Neck Tie person, but James has a lot of success with them so I wanted to snag a video with him showing one.

In the video he’ll show the set up if you’re defending a basic shot and then going from the sprawl into the submission.

If you’d like more techniques and submissions centered around the Peruvian Neck Tie then check out James’ series (as discussed in the video) at the link below:

Hope you enjoyed the video and happy hunting for the submission.

Bjj Clock Chokes

Increase Finishing Power with Bjj Clock Chokes (Focus On 1st Grip)

/in , , /by

I got a question about different types of submissions that can be used from the Turtle position in BJJ. So in today’s video I show the tried and true Clock Choke. But as you’ll see in the video. I place a huge amount of importance on the 1st grip you acquire.

In this video I also clip in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu match I had back in 2017 where I used this principle. I got the finishing grip very quickly and while my body was moving all over the place I was still able to finish the choke at the end.

I wanted to show this because a lot of times people fail to recognize the importance of getting strong grips early on. They think about the choke, the finish but forget that strong grips setup the finish.

Hope this video is helpful to you!

Sneaky Ankle Lock

Sneaky Ankle Lock Finish When They Grab Your Gi to Defend

/in , , , /by

Finishing a Straight Ankle Lock in the Gi can be tricky. The handles created by the lapels and grips can make it very hard to fully extend and finish the leg lock once you have a snag on the ankle itself. This is the BJJ technique question I got from our buddy Brian G.

I originally learned this Brazilian Jiujitsu technique with one of my students Jeff who hit me with it in training. In a similar situation I was preventing his extension with collar grips. Then once he switched his forearm down he was able to fully extend the foot down and finish the submission. And I’ve found the variation to be useful with my own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

I assume if you’re watching the video you’ll understand the basics of how to get a straight ankle lock and how to get into a single leg X / ashi garami position.

So if you’re having trouble finishing the straight ankle in the gi because of the grips then I hope this video is useful to you!

Wrist lock

Are Wrist Locks in BJJ Legit or a Dirty Cheater Technique?

/in , , /by

Are wrist locks a dirty submissions? Are they cheating? If you use them are you doing something wrong within the typical rules or culture of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? This is the question I received from Kevin recently.

Kevin comes from a traditional martial arts background where he learned a lot of wrist locks and he wants to use them in his BJJ training. But he says his coach doesn’t allow White Belts to use them. In addition to that he says he gets the vibe that wrist locks are sort of looked down on in his gym. As if they are dirty in some way.

So he sent me a message to get his perspective which I share in the video.

The biggest issue with them, as I see it, isn’t that they are cheating, but that they are sneaky. Wrist locks in Brazilian Jiujitsu are sneaky submissions and I think thats why we laugh about them at times when we get caught with one. And I think it’s this “sneaky” nature about them that makes us call them “dirty” or say “prison rules”, but as I will explain in the video. It’s the same sneaky nature that makes them so valuable.

If you had a similar question to Kevin then I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching the video!

Statue Of Liberty Grip

“Statue Of Liberty” Grip Makes Your Omaplata Easier to Finish

/in , , /by

Today’s BJJ technique video is a Oma Plata setup and finish in No Gi. With this technique I use Diamond Guard (you might have another name for it) to setup the submission.

You can watch this previous video I did to get more attacks from the position.

4 Effective Submissions for White Belts with a Weak Guard in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I also share one of my favorite ways to control and break down the Oma Plata position in no gi which is the “Statue of Liberty.” It’s a simple queue of controlling the foot and extending it away from the persons body. This has helped me a ton with being able to keep the person from countering my Oma Plata attempt during Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions or rolling.

Lastly I encourage you if using the submission to be careful as it’s a Kimura with the legs and is attacking the shoulder. Be sure with your training partners to take it slow on the finish.

So if you’re looking for Oma Plata setups or finishes then I hope this video is useful to you and your training.

Thanks for watching!
