I visited the school I began in the US which is now run by Lee King to train. The assistant instructor is Chris Currie (2023 Pan American Silver Medalist) showed me a technique that he had come up with for controlling and reversing his opponent when caught in bottom side control.

I liked it so much that I asked him to share it with me.

This is from a class I taught on using strikes on the ground. Here, we covered the use of knees but also some important self-defense advice.

I will be returning to Gracie Zug to teach a seminar on two of my most powerful weapons: the Side Control and the Guillotine Choke.

Check out some scenes from a recent side control seminar to see how mine is different.

This is a continuation of our exploration on how to break down an opponent’s posture when they’re in our Closed Guard.

Often when you win the underhook from Side Control Bottom, your opponent will attempt to stay in control by switching to a headlock.

I cover how to handle this problem in this video.

So much of my instruction is centred in getting my students to understand the “Why” of Jiu-Jitsu rather than just having them repeat a bunch of moves without understanding the underlying purpose of their actions.

In class, we recently covered some basics of wrestling up from the guard.

Continuing on with that theme, we will be focusing on escaping from different bottom positions into “Dogfight/Waist Riding” positions and how to fight from there.

But, first, you have to understand the timeline and mechanics of the various ways to accomplish these goals.

So, I begin with an introduction to our options from bottom side control, what our goals are and the mechanics of one of the ways to turn over (a way I see people often poorly utilise).

If you enjoy this content, please join my Patreon (www.Patreon.com/RoyMarshJiuJitsu) for more videos (Over 600).

(From a seminar I did 5 years ago)
These are a few central concepts of my Jiu-Jitsu Top Game:
1. Always try to put myself in territories that are familiar to me where I understand all the options (I call these “Staging Areas).
2. Make sure those Territories are also environments in which my opponent’s mistakes are inevitable.
3. Control my opponent’s priorities.
4. Use Extreme Pressure and Control to limit, slow, ride or direct my opponents movements. Always keep his movements predictable to me.
5. Make my opponent ALWAYS carry my weight.
6. Make sure his body is never in alignment.
7. Use pain, pressure, or inability to breathe to force him to make a choice (making sure his only options are bad ones).
One thing I try to do is always get to positions where I more and more limit the variables. This is why I don’t focus on just jumping around and going to as many positions as possible. It can be boring to roll with me because when I get to these positions my opponent has just a few options and if he does escape, I return him to these same control areas as soon as possible.
Here is sort of a variation of one I use a lot. I have a heavy shoulder of justice from side control. If my opponent stays there, I can either mount but more often I will just increase the pressure. If he turns in I go to reverse Kesa with the guillotine hold.
Again, I force him to carry my weight.
If he stays here, I can continue to make the pressure worse and worse.
I can also step to mount and finish the submission or continue the pressure.
If he goes back to his back, I go back to a heavy cross face and it starts all over.
If he tries to come on to top from his side, he’s walking into the full guillotine.
Many will still try to come on top even if they know the guillotine is waiting because I am able to put so much pressure on them when they’re on their side.
This is one of my top attack sequences and one I return to over and over when rolling.
I’m not showing my side control here but some details on the guillotine hold I use when my opponent turns on his side.
That is Decision 1: Deal with the pressure or turn on his side and into the guillotine hold. ( I have another flow if they try to roll away.)
Decision 2: Stay there and deal with the pressure or 1. Go back to being pinned, or 2. Allow me to mount, or 3. Come on top into the guard guillotine.
This is a flow I return to constantly!
Notice the choice I always force is between Pressure/Pain on the one hand and Submission/Positional advancement for me on the other.
I’ll cover this in much more depth on my Pressure & Control Instructional when this is all over and I can start shooting. But, for now I’m getting time to write out and finish the syllabi for all my DVDs

Here are some clips from a recent seminar I did at Royce Gracie Lancashire.

In the second half of the seminar we covered escaping the mount.
