One thing almost everyone wants to do in BJJ is add more top pressure to Side Control and Mount positions. I’m sure you’ve know the saying “position before submission” and you’ll also learn (if you don’t already know) that the better you hold position the easier the submission comes. So adding a extra pressure from top is not only important for control it’s also crucial for your submission game.

In this video I answer a question from someone who says their coach tells them to, “Add more top pressure to make the bottom person uncomfortable.” But he’s curious, how do you add more top pressure in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

So in this video I share a tip that’s been useful to me. And to be honest I didn’t really absorb this lesson till I was probably a Black Belt. So if you get it sooner than me, you’re off to a better start than I was.

The Brazilian Jiujitsu lesson is really simple. It involves being aware of your bodily positioning. Sounds easy, but often there are a lot of moving parts to each position and the actual connection to the other persons body happens without much conscious thought.

So if you’re wanting to add more pressure to BJJ positions from top then I hope this video is useful to you in your BJJ training or competitions in the future.
