Do you have plenty of techniques to escape Mount but yet you still have trouble escaping the position? If so then this video may be useful to you. In many cases it could be your setup and the sequence you use to execute your escape. In today’s BJJ technique video I show some details on escaping Mount with a focus on the strategy of it rather than just the technique itself. This should hopefully help you have a better understanding as to the “why” you’re doing what you’re doing in this Brazilian Jiujitsu position.

The basic sequence I show in the video looks something like this:
– Free the leg to have a bridge
– Bring hands together to setup frames and get inside control of the position
– Begin to setup mount escapes

This has made my escapes from Mount so much better and has also helped out many of my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu student’s with their escapes from a tight Mount position as well.

If you’re struggling to escape Mount then I hope this video is useful to you.

I got a question from Operation Random on Youtube about coming back to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training after a 3 month lay off. They say that they’re nervous about returning to their BJJ gym and starting their grappling training over again.

In this video I share a recent story about one of the Black Belts and Purple Belts in my gym who just returned. I share this because layoffs and experiencing some nervousness or anxiety about getting back into Brazilian Jiujitsu is not just a White Belt thing.

When we first start something new there is fear of the unknown. Later on the fear comes from our own expectations.

But either way the fear is imagined and generally the reality of the situation is better than the imagined fear.

If you’re getting back into BJJ after a bit of a lay off I hope this video is helpful to you!

Thanks for watching the video.

I got a question about how to do a Triangle Choke with inflexible hips. This is a situation that has come up numerous times with my students who do a lot of sitting and have very tight legs and hips. So in this video I cover a few tips to help for a better Triangle Choke in BJJ.

In the video I don’t talk about how to work around inflexible hips. Instead I talk about how to stretch out the muscles that are extra tight because I think you’re ignoring a problem if you don’t work on the muscles causing the problem.

These stretches could be used to loosen up your hips before Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training if you’re really tight, or used after class when you’re nice and warm to keep the muscles and joints loose. Overtime this will help to make it easier to do a triangle choke properly.

I hope this video is helpful if you’re in a similar situation

Thanks for watching.

Today’s BJJ related question comes from a viewer who got into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training because he backed down in a street fight situation because of fear. Well recently he had a situation where someone was verbally aggressive with him. This leads into his question of whether or not all the BJJ training he is doing is a waste. Because while no fight happened, he’s wondering if he should have been more physical or verbally aggressive back at this other man.

In the video I describe the situation that took place and I give my personal take on the whole thing and self defense in general. I also share my thoughts about using Brazilian Jiujitsu in a street fight situation and why it’s good thing to avoid them, and why BJJ gives you the powerful ability to avoid them if it can be avoided rather than becoming emotional and escalating the situation.

I also referenced a video on aggression. You can watch that video here:

Hope you enjoyed video. Thanks for watching.

In today’s video I show a fundamental submission series from Full Guard that I learned as a BJJ White Belt that was very helpful. The position I teach in this video has also been helpful to many of my students who are a bit on the bigger side.

The submission series starts from what I call from Diamond Guard. In it I show 4 submissions.
– Diamond Guard Armbar
– Regular Armbar
– Triangle Choke
– Oma Plata

I’ve also found that this series is really useful for bigger guys like me who don’t have super quick hips and legs.

Hope the video is useful. Thanks for watching.

In this video Thomas Lisboa shares details that’ll make the over-under pressure guard pass work even if the other guy is much bigger than you. Check out https://www.grapplearts.com/bigstrong and https://www.grapplearts.com/bigstrong2 if you’re routinely facing bigger, stronger opponents on the mats!
