Do THIS If Your Opponent Tries to Control Your Legs

June 5, 2022 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Nothing good happens if you let your opponent control your legs in jiu-jitsu. Here’s how to use the cross lapel grip to shut that nonsense down. From https://www.grapplearts.com/gripfighting

There’s a cheat code that allows most people to jump up a full belt level almost overnight.

You don’t have to become bigger, faster or stronger…

You don’t have to learn how to contort yourself into a pretzel…

And it applies to both gi and no gi…

So what is it? Easy: improve your gripfighting!

If your opponent can’t get a good grip on you then it’s almost impossible for him to pass your guard.

And if you control the grips then the ball is in your court and you can attack at will.

There’s just no other skill that gives you as much bang for your buck in jiu-jitsu as gripfighing. This is something that everyone does at the elite level, but the skill itself is rarely taught in jiu-jitsu class!

And that’s exactly why Rob Biernacki and I created the Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula. More info at https://www.grapplearts.com/gripfighting

Do You Get Pain From Gripping n BJJ? (Try These Weird Exercises)

May 8, 2020 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Ever get pain in your arms from BJJ training or run out of steam with your grips during collar chokes? In this video I’m going to show you some simple exercises for BJJ grip training plus give you an idea of bringing balance to your forearm and hand muscles that can resolve some of the pain you could be experiencing. The exercise I show 1st in the video along with the balancing idea cleared up a lot of elbow tendonitis I dealt with a few years ago from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In addition to the balancing exercise I’m also going to show you a couple of weird strengthening exercises you can use to develop strength in areas. The movements I show are specific for collar chokes in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

So I hope this video is helpful and gives you some more ideas on how to train your grips rather than simply doing only curling exercises which can lead to more problems.

Thanks for watching the video!

How to Make Your Grips Last Longer as a BJJ White Belt

January 9, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Grip strength and grip endurance is a big question for people getting into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

I’ve received questions from countless BJJ practitioners about how to build better grip strength because during their matches or rolls in the gym they feel like their grip goes out.

Today’s question comes from KevMed who says that despite weight lifting. He lacks grip strength when he is training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In this video I briefly touch on the idea of building stronger grips and focus more on how to make your grips last longer as a White Belt.

As a White Belt I can almost guarantee that KevMed is grabbing everything with a death grip.

I say this because I know as a BJJ White Belt. . . I did. And as a coach I see this over and over again with my new White Belts.

The newer people in the gym will hold grips as tight as they can and will wear their hands out in a minute or so and then are left with nothing.

So if you’re a newer White Belt or someone who just finds themselves gripping everything as tight as possible. Then I hope this tip is helpful!

Dominate the Grip Battle to Break Full Guard as a BJJ White Belt

September 4, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

When stuck inside someone’s Full Guard in BJJ. What should you be going for? Breaking grips, passing, posture, etc?

This is the question that comes to us from Jordan Patricio who is having issues working out of Full Guard during Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

In this video I touch on the basic prioritization with grip breaking, posturing up and passing the Guard.

One of the big ideas I touch on in the video is the idea of dominating grips after their broken. This way it stops the person from reestablishing their grips again.

And the second big idea is to view the Full Guard as a bad position for the person on top. And as such. When you’re on top. Look at it as an escape situation instead of a offensive situation.

This mindset shift to breaking and passing the guard helped me to slow down in this position.

If you’re in these situations in BJJ. I hope this video is helpful.
