My Rolling Partners Won’t Tap to Heel Hooks !

Gary Berger — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 18:14:08 +0000

What do you do when your training partner doesn’t tap out during your BJJ rolling?

This is the question from 1 of the Youtube viewer. With his situation he has fully applied heel hooks but some people don’t tap. So he’s wondering, what do you do if this happens.

So in this video I share how you can use these situations to sharpen and improve your BJJ submissions. And I’ll touch on a situation where I had an MMA who wouldn’t tap out and what I did.

After watching the video you should have several different ways of approaching the situation. Because in most cases, if you’re at a good BJJ gym, people not tapping means you need to improve your application or control of the technique.

Thanks for watching the video!

What is the Honey Stick? This counter leg entanglement is a powerful and tricky one that can come up in very sneaky ways. Here is one entry, and I will have a longer form video on this position on my YouTube channel soon.

Lots of Submissions from Float Pins – Uki Gatame 浮固

Gary Berger — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 16:47:23 +0000

Floating Pins, or Uki Gatame, are a category of pinning in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu that are versatile and powerful. This is due to the combination of stability and mobility they offer the top player. Knee on belly is probably the most famous example of this style of position, but other variations exist and are also very useful for eliciting submission opportunities. In this video, I cover examples including triangles, darce chokes, arm locks, leg attacks and more. Hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

This is one of the best uses of K-Guard to uproot an opponent, and create an entry to the heel hook from backside 50/50. This is from a seminar on attacking from guard while mitigating striking potential. This seminar will be available with many others on my Patreon soon.

5 Uses For The Arm Crunch – Ude Gatame – Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

Gary Berger — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 15:27:51 +0000

The arm crunch, or ude gatame if you like the Japanese words, is an extremely useful, quick and deceptive submission in its own right. However, it can also be used to set up great opportunities for sweeps and transitions to other submissions, as well. In this video, I show the fundamental mechanics of the arm crunch, as well as using it for the following purposes:

– Hiza Gatame from Butterfly Guard
– Triangle Choke (Sankaku Jime) Transition
– Sumi Gaeshi Sweep from Butterfly
– Heel Hook from Backside 50/50 Set Up
– Application from Kesa Gatame

Big Thanks to Ed Stahl from @metrolinamartialarts for the uke skills!

Hope you like it!

Attacking Legs to Pass The Guard – Jiu-Jitsu Strategies

Gary Berger — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 17:53:05 +0000

Leg Lockers get criticism from Guard Passers, and Passers get criticism from Leg Lockers…but these criticisms typically just come from people who don’t train much anyway. Real practitioners recognize the value and necessity of learned all aspects, and it’s in that vein that I made this video discussing some concepts tying together attacking the legs
