Light Situational Examples With A Side Control Variation

Gary Berger — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 19:45:01 +0000

Many side control escapes start with the bridge. And the direction of the bridge will generally be towards the person on top. If done well, it will create enough space for rotation and hip escape.

That’s where this variation on top position comes in.

Stepping up the leg closest to the head as a base will create a structure that is hard to damage with the bridge alone. Also if you wedge the hip between your elbow and knee, there will be limited space for the hips to escape.

In this video, you’ll see a few demonstrations of me doing a few situationals in top position using the variation.

The intent on my side was to see how long I could hold him while expending the least amount of effort. And there is also one particular moment where I went for submissions.

Enjoy.

The Secret Pin Escape THEY Don’t Want You to Know About

Gary Berger — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 20:11:56 +0000

A concept to make escaping pins and bad positions on the ground much easier.

And while you’re here, it’s a sad state of affairs that the BJJ community is so particularly vulnerable to reflexive conspiratorial thinking. Yes, there have been conspiracies in this world, but no, not everything is a conspiracy!!

If you’re driven crazy by reflexive conspiracism as well, then check out The Strenuous Life Podcast for a dose of data-driven BJJ and occasional rants about approaching the world through the lens of science. On Youtube the channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxFCWZJbnlRyhw3vmDx0Rlg

The MOST Important Guard Passing Principle

Gary Berger — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 16:00:03 +0000

Hip pinning is one of the two most foundational methods of controlling an opponent in side control. Since we often are fighting our opponents legs before we pass the guard, focusing on pinning the hips first makes the goal so much easier as their leg moblity and movment is significantly restricted, and as we pass our ooponents hips already being on the floor makes the finish and control in side so much easier.

This Will INSTANTLY Change Your Jiu Jitsu

Gary Berger — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 16:44:32 +0000

The principle of side tilt in jiu jitsu is one of the most important to understand. To ever pass the guard you need to be able to pin your opponents hips and by staying on your side intially, you make passing harder as well as increase your opportunity for offense. Additionally understanding this makes your goals in passing much more clear as well.

Guard Pass Prevention Tactics – Jiu-Jitsu Strategies

Gary Berger — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 16:12:40 +0000

Getting your guard passed sucks. The problem is that we tend to fight hard to prevent it from happening, only to be exhausted, mentally and physically, when and if it happens. But, by prioritizing your tactics for guard play, guard retention and pass prevention in early to late stages, you can take some of the stress and exhaustion out of the process. In this video, I try to offer some solutions for that process. Hope it helps.
