The questions I get more than any other are nearly always regarding how to deal with bigger, stronger opponents…and it’s kind of a weird question, because I always try to use things that work on everyone. The main answer is you have to be more precise with your technique when dealing with bigger people because there’s less room for mistakes and more severe punishment for flawed technique.

However, if I had to address the technical aspect of dealing with bigger opponents, I would say that understanding frames is one of the most crucial things. So in this video, I show one of the best positions to illustrate strong and active framing, which is the knee shield position. I hope this helps.

The post Strategy for Grappling Larger Opponents | Knee Shield Details appeared first on jitseasy.

The clock choke is one of the classic BJJ submissions. The first time I saw it was when Wallid Ismael choked Royce Gracie unconscious with it in their epic match when Royce, the consummate warrior, refused to tap. It’s a fantastic choke that you should definitely add to your arsenal if you’re training with the gi sometimes.

The post How to Do the Clock Choke in 5 Easy Steps appeared first on jitseasy.

Situational awareness can fail. It’s something we all obviously need to practice and prioritize, but for many reasons it can fail. So it’s crucial that we have the ability and technical training to get us to a safe position in dangerous conditions. This particular instance we are focused on in this video centers around how to get back to your feet safely at various levels of lateness in recognizing the threat of a standing aggressor.

Anya and I explore three different ways to safely and technical stand up versus a standing opponent. Each of these options work in sportive, as well as self defense environments with slight modifications. These are all able to be drilled with intensity, and safely should be for any hope of developing proficiency.

The post Pressure Pass to Folder Pass, Knee Slice to Back Step to Back Take | Cobrinha BJJ Los Angeles | appeared first on jitseasy.

This video offers 6 of the most common and difficult positions one might encounter in a fight when on the ground vs a striking opponent. These are the some of the best options I have learned and used in such situations.

This is a video for people who I often hear say things like “I just want to know enough to avoid or get off the ground in a fight.” I hear this a lot from people, primarily stand-up striking practitioners, regarding learning jiu-jitsu or wrestling. They don’t want to extensively train in grappling arts, and only want to learn those techniques that will help them avoid being taken down or help them get out of a ground grappling situation.

I don’t think anyone wants to be in a fight longer than they have to. I think even grapplers want to exist the grappling range (and fight all together) as soon as possible. But there are no shortcuts. These techniques from this video must be trained to a level of proficiency and drilled with intensity if they are ever expected to be performed in real-life encounters.

Train safely and smart. Thanks for watching and please like, subscribe and share.

The post Get Off The Ground With These 6 Techniques appeared first on jitseasy.

The most prominent Judo ground fighting specialist in modern times, Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki won the 1981 World Championships with a variation of side control in the final.

In this video, Kashiwazaki shows transitions from his favourite side control (yoko-shiho-gatame) position, to two other positions:
– north / upper hold (kami-shiho-gatame)
– mount / vertical hold (tate-shiho-gatame).

Notes on the translation:
—————————————

The English subtitles are original. The approach was not to translate every word, only the key messages.

Yoko-shiho-gatame means ‘side direction hold’
Kami-shiho-gatame means ‘upper direction hold’
Tate-shiho-gatame means ‘vertical direction hold’

Instead of the long names, I have used ‘side hold’, ‘side position’, or ‘side control’. I have used ‘north’ instead of ‘upper’, as it will be more familiar to English speakers.

Also, Kashiwazaki’s full instructional is over 2 hours long. I plan to translate other portions of it gradually. If there is a particular technique you’re interested in please comment and I will work on it first.
