The Keylock: Underrated BJJ Submission or Worthless in 2024?

Gary Berger — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 19:04:42 +0000

Today I’ve got a question from a White Belt named Andy who has been hearing that the Keylock is not an effective submission for Jiu-Jitsu, especially at the higher belts.

So, he was wondering if the Keylock, or sometimes called the Americana, is even worth doing and if I could give him a couple of tips to improve his catching & finishing rate, cause he’s having trouble hitting it in his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gym.

This submission was actually one of my favorite submissions as a BJJ White Belt and as I got more experience it became something more like a sneaky threat or a set up for other submissions or positions.

Regardless it’s still a very useful tool and I’ll give you guys 3 tips to make you key lock stronger, both as a White Belt or an experienced Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

Hopefully if you were struggling to finish this submission or just found Jiu-Jitsu, then you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching!

How To Go in Attack Mode as a BJJ Beginner

Gary Berger — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 17:00:14 +0000

Today’s video we’ve got a question from “hitanddip”, from a recent YouTube Videos comment section, asking:

“I want to ask; how do you get better at going on Attack Mode as a Beginner (in Jiu-Jitsu)”

This is a great question!

This is often a question many beginners will have. Especially since all of us will come into the gym, and at first, spend most of the time balling up, trying not to get submitted.

At some point in your BJJ training journey, you will get pretty good at not getting submitted.

Once you get to that point, you’ll start asking yourself how you can start adding some offense on your own, instead of just surviving in the rounds against the upper belts.

So, once you get to this point, how do you start adding offense into your game?

In this video I’ll give my perspective and give you guys a couple of ideal solutions to this common beginner issue – including developing you BJJ “GPS”.

If you were going through something similar, hopefully you find the ideas in the video helpful for you.

How to Make Your Grips Last Longer & Think More During BJJ Rolling

Gary Berger — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 18:58:18 +0000

Today’s video is a short Q&A video from Origin’s BJJ Immersion Camp in Maine. During the sessions this week I got a chance to speak with hundreds of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and so on. If you’re one of them, it was cool meeting you!

A couple of blue belts came up to me asking questions about their grips burning out and getting tunnel vision during their rolling. After listening to their situation, I gave them some simple advice. Something that helped me with my BJJ.

Now the advice is very simple and can be applied by anyone from white belt to black belt. But it doesn’t make it easy! Like anything else in BJJ, you have to put things into action with practice.

So, if you struggle with your grips burning out during BJJ competitions and rolling, then I hope the video helps.

How To Break Closed Guard Without Getting Swept

Gary Berger — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 16:02:57 +0000

In today’s video I answer a recent question about breaking the closed guard in BJJ (Gi or No-GI), WITHOUT getting swept in the process.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the Closed Guard is one of the most dangerous positions to be stuck in. It’s also a great position for your opponent to sweep or submit you if you’re not careful.

Therefore, it’s important to try and approach it with caution and technique when breaking it.

This Guard Break is both beginner friendly and extremely effective (in my experience) and hopefully a useful idea for you to practice next time you’re in training.

I hope this helps.
