Do This BEFORE You Pull Guard!

April 18, 2018

Faking a guard pull can set up your takedowns, and faking a takedown can set up your guard pull. Here’s Elliott Bayev breaking down this concept for you!

Jiu jitsu is a Martial Art First and a Martial Sport Second

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a fantastic sport, a great fitness activity, a way to make friends and a good way to learn to push past challenges, but first and foremost it’s a martial art. That means you need to know how to apply your skills when someone is trying to punch your teeth down your throat!

De la Riva Pass Chicken Squat to Pony Pass

March 29, 2018

Leave a Comment

In this video I show an Open Guard Pass that I call the Pony Pass. This is an important transition that presents itself a lot throughout various positions but I feel this is one of the easiest ways to practice the movement.

After the demonstration of the technique I included some instruction on what a good training partner will do to produce the desired space for practice. Obviously, while rolling, this will be a much smaller window but the concept applies the same.

This is part of a passing sequence that I showed from DLR and while this does not appear to be that viable, when paired with the second pass, it happens a lot more than you would think.

As you get better at this movement you will not have to place your hands on the floor (and you really should avoid doing that after you master the weight transfer and pathway with your hips).

Being Positive In BJJ

Such an important aspect of a sport that really tests your sense of self. It really is a sport where you can be on top of the world one night and just right back at the bottom the next. And what is one of the most important factors that you should bring to the fore during the down times? – being positive! Think about getting tapped all evening by jnr belts? Well, what’s positive about that? maybe, you were pushed cardiovascularly…then you will have improved your endurance. Maybe they have helped expose some weaknesses in your game right? and your down night is someone else’s up! That’s the way it goes in Jiu Jitsu._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

In this video, I discuss how to escape the mount when your opponent is trying to lock an Americana on you. This will not only help you survive the submission but get you out of mount as well. This is a simple little move guys. And very effective. You will be able to incorporate this into your game immediately and get the results you are looking for. Give this one a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Headlock Control Series!

March 3, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

This is a fantastic little submission chain of techniques that I like to teach from my white belts and beyond. The Headlock Control Series. Now when you pass your opponents guard. To get the ‘headlock control’ you will need both the head and the arm. Just getting the head in control only works on your baby brother when you were playfighting as kids. But that’s only the beginning. There are many variables at play and to get that submission on an experienced grappler, you will need to use all of them and in unison. But when you do…oh, boy – so powerful! Watch this video in detail guys. Take your time, as there are many details involved and it’s the nuances that count. As usual, please give it a go on the mat and let me know how you go…

Cradle Attack Series – One Arm Anaconda!

March 1, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

Now for part 3 of my cradle attack series and I have saved one of my favourites until the last. This is a really neat little submission and I found it difficult to find the origin of the name. It’s kinda like a one arm Anaconda. But with a squish at the end? Anyway, whatever it’s called, it works. And I really enjoy this. It is surprisingly strong and I think can catch many people off guard because of its inherent strength. Check out this video guys and give this a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

3 White Belts Mistakes To Avoid. So You Don’t Get Tapped

February 24, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

One thing that you learn very quickly when you enter a Jiu-Jitsu Academy for the first time and start rolling with experienced practitioners. You get tapped quickly, often and seemingly with ease. It’s frustrating and massively ego depleting. So much so that very few attend the next class. That’s a pity. Because, Jiu-Jitsu, if you allow it – will change your life for the positive. No matter who you are and what your life circumstances. Now having said that being tapped is no fun. Particularly if you don’t know why. So, in this video, I would like to lay out 3 simple tips that will help you not make the usual beginner mistakes that will get you tapped. And hopefully, that surviving will build the confidence to come back and roll another day. Enjoy guys. And as usual, give this a go on the mat and let me know how you do…

Back Step Half Guard Pass!

February 21, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

This move, I ensure my white belts really understand and have an ability to apply during rolling before they move to blue. Being captured in half-guard is, of course, common and people develop multiple techniques for handling and still passing that great half guard player. But in my experience, when those techniques are struggling, then the back-step half guard pass comes into its own. This is a very effective and simple pass. And if you are a half-guard player. This might be even more important for you so you can prepare yourself for countering this great move. I hope you like this video guys. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

4 Awesome Attacks From Shin To Shin

February 20, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

Shin to shin is a really cool guard and I think it has become increasingly necessary as many grapplers are incredibly proficient at placing one leg between yours and then sliding their knee through in a knee through pass. This might happen on say, 70% of the time. So, it’s a good idea to think about a way to prevent this. One such way is to place your shin against theirs. In this video, I discuss how to take this shin to shin position and move into an attacking position. It’s a lot easier than it looks. There is reward with careful viewing guys. I hope you enjoy the video and give it a try on the mat. And as always, let me know how you go…
