This Mount Technique was a Cheat Code for my White Belts

Gary Berger — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 17:35:38 +0000

Recently I was talking to one of my White Belts, I was helping him out with a detail from Mount, and I was showing him a technique we’ve been doing at the gym since 2012-13 when we were prepping for comp.

It was a cheat code when our athletes got to Mount in Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

This technique will help you set up a bunch of submissions, backtakes, and more.

Hopefully, you found this information helpful.

Thanks for watching.

2 Big Mount Mistakes White Belts Make in BJJ (How to Avoid Them)

Gary Berger — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 19:23:42 +0000

Recently at the Chewjitsu open, while watching the White Belts/Beginners compete, I noticed a common theme amongst them all…

That theme was this: They could not get to mount properly, without being countered.

In this video, I’ll address 2 big Mount mistakes White Belts make in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and how to avoid them.

Hopefully, if you train BJJ/MMA, and have trouble with the Mount, you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Teaching Judo Black Belt How to Pass & Choke the BJJ Way

Gary Berger — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 18:31:41 +0000

Today’s video is going to feature Austin (IG: @badboymedicine) again!

Instead of focusing on takedowns for Jiu-Jitsu, this time we’re going to focus on what to do once we actually get on the ground, specifically with a focus on submissions once we get to the Half Guard position in BJJ or MMA.

We will explore a sequence from half guard in order to pass, pin, and submit your opponent off their back, with a specific focus on No-Gi grappling (of course most of this can be modified for the Gi too.)

Austin, a Judoka, asked specifically for submission sequences that come after a pin, so that’s what the focus on this video is going to cover.

We will also cover getting to mount, controlling the mount position, and submitting from there. This will include me teaching Austin some nuances such as passing from quarter mount, forcing my opponents to post on my knee to give up their arm, securing mount, and more.

It’s always fun seeing grapplers from different arts trying BJJ, so I hope you guys enjoyed this video as much as I did.

Hopefully, if you were struggling with the positions in this video, then you also found some useful tips that’ll help your game out too.

Thanks for watching!

BJJ Blue Belt Gets to Mount but Can’t Submit Anyone with Tight Arms

Gary Berger — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 22:42:24 +0000

Today I’m answering a recent question from a BJJ Blue Belt named Matt, who says he’s having trouble on top of the Mount Position.

Specifically, he’s struggling when his partners are keeping tight “T-rex” arms to their chest, not allowing him to open up any submissions.

With that being said, I’m going to show Matt, and you guys, 2 different ways to deal with really tight arms in Mount.

One of these techniques will be preemptive and the other will be an option for when they’ve already secured their “dino arms” already.

This is a pretty common position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and since there’s no strikes, like there is in MMA, these are two good options to help you develop some offense.

Hopefully you guys found this video helpful.

Tips to Instantly Make Your Mount Heavier & More Dangerous in BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 17:28:57 +0000

Today we have a question from Michael who’s having trouble maintaining Mount.

He says that when he’s rolling, he’s able to pass guard and get to mount, but when he gets to mount everyone just escapes immediately (even though he’s seen the highest level of Jiu-Jitsu Competitors do it well)…

He asks if there are any strategies or ideas that I’ve found useful in order to maintain Mount against skilled opponents in BJJ.

In this video I’ll show you a couple of things that were big game changers for me and my mount game in Jiu-Jitsu.

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for yourself.

A Highly Effective Mount Position in a Street Fight or MMA

Gary Berger — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 16:00:15 +0000

Today’s video comes as an answer to a recent question from a follower, and fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner, named Steve.

Steve’s question to me is whether or not I believe you should go to a low Mount or if you should get to a high Mount which is very common and very effective in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

His question is focused on which mounted BJJ position, would be more effective in a Street fight situation, against an untrained person. So in the video I share some ideas on how to use mount in a Hand-to-hand fighting situation on DUH STREETZ. And I share why I really like low mount vs an untrained person.

Easily Control The Mount Position

Gary Berger — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 15:00:25 +0000

The most common escape from mount is the elbow escape. Learning to properly pin your opponents shoulder blades is the key to stopping the escape and starting to attack.

The Dope Mount, The Easiest Way to Get to the Mount

Gary Berger — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 14:57:13 +0000

The Dope Mount is used consistently in gi, no gi, and MMA grappling to climb directly into mount through your opponent’s guard. The legwork is in four steps as follows…
1) Turn his legs to one side and split them apart
2) Bring your front side knee between his legs and all the way up to his butt
3) Bring your back side knee to his lower back
4) Now climb your front side knee to his belly

If you combine this legwork with an underhook on his upper body (or even two underhooks which is even more powerful) then you end up in a devastatingly effective mount position

Scenes from My 2019 Pressure Seminar in Schwerte

Gary Berger — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 20:45:23 +0000

In December, I traveled to Mirco Wendt’s Academy, Monkey Gym Schwerte, to teach a 2 Day Seminar for just the Academy Students.

It was on Pressure & Control: two aspects of grappling and fighting that I feel are not really focused on or understood anymore.

This is how Mirco described it after:

Roy emphasized Jiu Jitsu is the art of control and not the art of Submission.
One of the main tools for control is pressure, so Roy covered the fundamentals for that kind of game, like proper weight placement, body misalignment, air restriction and more…

We were all amazed cause we we had never experienced that kind of pressure before. Great thing about that approach is, the top game player almost never used lots of strength or grips, instead it was absolute effortless to control the bottom person with correct alignment of the own body, misalignment of the opponents body and weight distribution.

What I as a plus 40 year old bjj hobbyist love about that kind of game is, you can play it as young gun, but also as a matured grappler over 40/50, because it doesn’t depend on attributes like strength or flexibility: everybody can do it.

Perfectly in relation to sustainability and longevity, great for self defense, competition or mma.

And, in a personal Message, he told me the immediate success he had with what he learned:
“Hey mate. We played with the “Pressure” game… it is so fantastic.
We rolled for control and I tapped the guys only with pressure and control and without Submissions ?
This happened never before although I am training for almost 10 years now. Thanks a lot for all the gold nuggets.
We really could up our games again after your seminar”

Contact me if you wish to schedule a seminar with me.

I will be putting these details and concepts and techniques and many more into my upcoming Pressure and Control DVD going soon
