MMA Beginner Series: Over Under Front Trips

Gary Berger — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 14:30:03 +0000

Sometimes the pummeling battle ends up in a stalemate, with neither fighter being able to secure a body lock. What then?

As I mentioned before, we have plenty of take down options from the over under. Perhaps one of the simplest ones is the front trip. We simply turn their upper body in one direction, spinning our hips away from them as we trip the far leg.

What’s great about this is there is no cost for failure. You just miss the take down. This also allows you to go back and forth attempting to trip the other leg, which works even better in succession. Finally, it is likely to stumble your opponent, which can lead to setting up other take downs or strikes.

Guillotine Trip used by Gordon Ryan to win gold at ADCC 2017

Gary Berger — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 15:30:07 +0000

Alvin was asking about a Guillotine attack Gordon Ryan used against Keenan Cornelius in their ADCC 2017 87.9kg finals match, so we worked through it together.

Initially, I mistook the side Gordon tripped on, as I tripped to the trapped arm side. While this still works as a trip, it is much better to trip towards the head. Reason being, you will have more choke pressure as you are folding his head into the choke.

Regarding the finish, in my case, I’m able to just turn sideways to get on top. However, depending on the scramble, you may need to backward roll, like Gordon did to Keenan, to get the mounted guillotine position.

Head Inside Single Leg High Finishes Part I

Gary Berger — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 15:30:07 +0000

When you are facing a strong defender, it can be hard to finish the head inside single leg from the low position. Especially if your form is off and you are bent over.

Instead, take the high ground by pulling the leg out from between your legs and up to your chest. Now their balance is much more compromised, and your posture is much stronger. You can still the same basic finishes such as the back trip, back sweep, and running the pipe from the high position, and many more.

One thing to keep in mind is the control of the ankle. If you are just wrapping around the ankle like a guillotine, a skilled opponent will twist away and kick out. You have to secure the ankle by controlling the big toe.
