How to Invert in BJJ for Beginners

Gary Berger — Fri, 21 May 2021 15:15:16 +0000

This is a quick tutorial for beginners to learn how to invert in BJJ. Inverting is used in things like imanari rolls, upside down guard and transitioning to other techniques in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Some warm ups in BJJ use ‘sideways rolls’ too which is rolling up and down the mats on your side like Adam is showing here. Try this if you are new to BJJ or want to learn how to invert.
If you struggle to invert on the roll then you may benefit from trying to Yoga for BJJ Inverted guard program on the website or app.

Yoga for BJJ is designed to help people improve themselves on and off the mats. Using yoga specific stretches and flows that are relevant to jiu jitsu to help you increase your flexibility, rate of motion, balance and injury prevention.
Whether you are grappling once or twice a week or a full time athlete we like to make sure we have videos for everyone so if you need the complete startup program or our “yoga for rocks” program or even our yoga for 40+ series we have it waiting for you.

We offer a library of videos organized into programs. They include tutorials and they cover all of those areas that grapplers need to work on the most. Stiffness in the lower back, hips, hamstring, shoulders, neck, legs… can all be a thing of the past.

We don’t offer magical results, but feedback from 1000+ members and our experience makes us confident that you can extend your career on the mats with consistent yoga practice.

New videos every week for grapplers that want to optimize the body for BJJ and life!

The Langaker Invert Omoplata (One of my new favorite attacks)

Gary Berger — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:24:08 +0000

When attacking from far side collar sleeve often your opponent will be tight with their elbow or step their hips back making it difficult to get close enough to chase the Omoplata or triangle. This sequence I learned studying and talking with Tommy Langaker has helped my guard tremendously in the last months, I have found it also very useful from cross guard. This is a short explanation, I hope you all get some good use out of it.

Get Better At Guard Retention and Inverting With This Movement Drill

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 May 2019 15:32:16 +0000

This movement sequence has been a useful flow drill for Jiu-Jitsu to activate your hips through the bridge and hip escape sequence followed by a shoulder roll.

This sequence has been useful to warm up the hips and back and is a great technique to practice guard retention or with getting more comfortable with inverting.

Make sure to start slow and controlled with the movement. It is important to avoid rolling on your neck by tucking the chin and rolling over the shoulders and upper back.
