Simple But Effective Counter to the Basic Double Stack Pass

June 1, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

One of the most common Guard passes many BJJ practitioners are taught early on is the very basic version of the Double Under Pass.

Some call it a Double Under Pass, others call it a Stack Pass.

Whichever name you use to describe this Brazilian Jiujitsu technique. It’s still a very powerful and easy to implement pass.

In this video I answer questions I received from many people regarding how to defend against this particular pass.

During the video Chad stacks me and as he passes I initiate a very simple but effective technique call the Stiff Arm Escape.

The Stiff Arm Escape is used anytime we have the person expose their armpit to us.

If you can see the back of their armpit and you have space to lock the arm out. Then you can do the Stiff Arm.

During the video I give some specific details that make this technique work.

So hopefully this counter / escape will help you with your Guard retention in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

This Tip Improved my Guard Retention in BJJ (it isn’t a technique)

April 28, 2018

by

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu there are certain parts of training which require a good deal of conscious effort.

A couple of these aspects of training are drilling and getting in reps, and changing the stories we tell about ourselves on the mat.

We often accept certain traits we have as an almost permanent condition.

Like the question I received from the person in the video. Which is he thinks he gets his Guard passed easily during rolling. And approaches his training with that mentality.

Changing your mindset for BJJ is tough. Because you are often fighting your inner critic which has a propensity to pop up during difficult times on the mat.

As I describe in the video. I had a lot of difficulty not getting my Guard passed as well. And one of the biggest things that helped me over come this issue was changing my mindset.

Along with that, forcing myself to play from the positions that bothered me the most. So I have more time in the position to work.

So if you’re experiencing any trouble with any position. Here is what I would advise you to do.

1. Drill techniques from the BJJ position that is frustrating.

2. Change your mindset with the position. Positive self talk is powerful and will help make the reality you seek happen.

3. Work from that area. Conquer the frustration or fear by moving towards it.

Remember, the beautiful part about BJJ is that your skills and abilities are not permanent. They’re always growing and shifting.

And you have a hand in this!

Being a role model is an honour and a privilege and it is something we can all do. You don’t have to be the head instructor. To be a role model, the first step is to be a person that YOU are proud of…and in a way that is where BJJ is at its best. It can and should bring out the best in you. Listen to this video as I talk about being a role model in Jiu Jitsu. Let me know what your experience has been on being a role model and/or having a role model in Jiu-Jitsu…

Being Positive In BJJ

Leave a Comment

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._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

If your opponent gets past your kneeshield this is a good last minute option to escape the bottom and come up on top or create space to re-guard.

Finish That Ankle Lock!

Gary Berger

Leave a Comment

I like to teach straight ankle locks to my white belt students. I think getting a good understanding of this part of the game early on in your Jiu-Jitsu career puts you in great shape as you progress through your game. However, many white belt students give up on Ankle locks early because they can’t seem to finish them. And the blame is placed on the Anklelock, or ‘it just doesn’t work for me’…but the reality is, the weakness is in the execution, not the technique. In this video, I give some tips on how to significantly improve the quality of your Ankle locks so that you can get that tap – every time. Give this a try on the mat guys and let me know how you go…

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…

The Cradle Series!

In this video, I discuss in detail a fantastic series of moves involving the wrestler’s cradle. This series of moves is not widely known within the jiu-jitsu community. Or where it is known, is probably not used that often. It is also a tremendously powerful position and trust me, you don’t want to be caught in it. Watch this video and you will see what I mean. Enjoy the video…
