Sometimes, our opponent will dig their legs into the ground when you pull them into you, which can give them a good post to block the sumi gaeshi, and also make it hard to hit the rocking chair sweep. That’s when we can abandon the body lock and collect their legs for a simple back sweep.

The key here is to make sure you use your butterfly hooks to draw their legs into you as close as possible. However, even if they are able to make a strong base, we can switch from the simple double knee thrust back sweep into a powerful double foot kick sweep.

Back in 2005, I had a match in Grapplers Quest with Luke Stewart, a notable brown belt at the time. I noticed he tried to sweep me with a body lock from his guard, and had me in some trouble. Fortunately, my wrestling base allowed me to defend it and I went on to win that match.

But, I always study my matches the next day. So I watched, and saw what he was doing. I hadn’t seen anyone else try this before, and I started working on it. Soon enough, I was able to adjust it and make it work exceptionally well, and even came up with a series of sweeps from the guard body lock.

The first is the one he tried to get me with, the Sumi Gaeshi. What makes this body lock position work so well is that you are going to cinch up your opponent’s arms over their head – eliminating their posting arms. We then work a little leg magic to sneak in a butterfly hook and voila – sweep city. We can then take advantage and get a high mount and work right into an arm bar.

One of my favorite traps to play is the Kimura against the back body lock. People often get excited and drop their guard when they get behind their opponent. That can be a big mistake, especially with a Kimura master. There’s actually five different throws we can get into here, I preview the first three: O Goshi (hip throw), harai goshi (hip sweep), and tai otoshi (foot sweep).

After successfully pummeling in and securing a body lock, my go to take down is the body lock reap. This is NOT a back trip.

Rather, we are staying on both feet the entire time, and are using a combination of body lock pressure, head pressure, and my knee reaping the back of his trapped leg to secure the take down. This allows you to remain in control the entire time.

With the simple addition of a medicine ball, I was able to use the Thoracic CARs exercise to improve range of motion, decrease stiffness, and also increase squeeze/tension which significantly increases not only the difficulty of the exercises, but really provides a deliberate muscle activation while increasing time under tension.

This is such a useful technique for grapplers who want to work on improving their “squeeze” while putting the torso in different positions.

I use this with athletes who are not only recovering from a rib injury, but also with those that want to improve mobility and squeeze strength.

I learned this Armbar from OG MMA fighter and UFC Vet, Karo Parisyan originally and took the technique and used it in many places in the game.

It’s not very popular. In fact I’ve NEVER seen someone else do it 😂 So It’ a good one to land on unsuspecting opponents

This is a simple drill I teach before Kimura, to LEO & military, in self defense and white belt classes.

Hey guys! In this TMG Clips video, we go over what we think is the most effective self-defense takedown! Enjoy!

Lock down the hips and pass with crushing power! Be aware of your arm placement. That is the biggest key when body locking.
