The post Awesome Lapel Closed Guard Sweeps – You Must Know! appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show a way to manipulate the foot to escape Knee on Belly.

While it is being shown from Knee on Belly please keep in mind that this relationship works from a lot of different places. I’ve had a good bit of success pulling the foot in between the legs for a long time, primarily when my partner/opponent tries to hide their foot from the outside Single or when I try to grab the ankle. When they try to pivot the foot away it becomes easily accessible.

When attempting this move as it is being shown the hardest part will be grabbing the ankle. Expect to be crossfaced during the transition and focus on getting your belly to the floor rather than turning into them. It will be a battle, but the more elevation you get with your body the more power is in this grip.

In the next video I show a very slick entry into this that makes it much easier, but knowing the mechanics of this movement and the pathway to the hands will make the other set up much easier.

The post Knee on Belly Escape Ankle Pull Variation appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show a relationship between the legs that I’ve found a lot of use in. From time to time I like to use the Rolling Back Attack or the Twister Roll set up. This is similar in concept but totally different in execution.

I’ve really been enjoying laying on the legs specifically. This video doesnt do the position justice in my opinion because the majority of my weight is put onto the legs in very controlling manner. If your opponent/partner is waiting for the front roll to come they will be surprised when you slowly and methodically move your hips away with that pant control. My experience with this move has been pretty fantastic.

With that being said, when I attempted to show this to some of my students some of them got it immediately, while others really struggled with the relationship of the legs.

The power is in the spacing of the leg. This means that you can make the space by moving your hips back rather than kicking them away with the leg. If your partner/opponent is feeling to tight to your hips and there is no pocket for them to fall then you need to focus on moving your hips away rather than kicking with the leg (although there will still be tension on the leg).

Lastly, the hooking and binding feature on the leg only becomes available when they are partially broken down. This means that you will have to use that pant grip to help pull them partially over. You should feel your foot lock into place extremely securely while only using one leg. This gives you an extra leg to help continue to break them down. When done correctly it has some aspects that feel very much like the Lock Down position with the legs but you’ll only be using the one leg.

The post 3:4 Mount to Back Control The Not Rolling Back Attack appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show the second of a 3 part attacking series. This is a great way to enter for the armbar off of the previous videos Cross Collar Choke.

The Cross Collar Choke and the Armbar are both high percentage moves on their own, but when you put them together in a combination attack it really makes your opponent commit to a defense, and this is where you can change directions of attack.

A couple of really powerful things to note in this video,

1. Make sure that you have the downward pressure with your knee on the top of the shoulder. This happens in the pivot as you’re laying your body on your opponents. My first demonstration partner only locks his hands and you can see that some of my problem rotating around the outside of the shoulder is becuase his elbow is exposed, you can then see when I switch partners to give a different look at the move that it is less of a problem. The more that they commit to crossing the arms to defend the choke the easier the Armbar is.

2. Make sure that you turn your body and lay on the outside of your thigh. This does a few really important things, but mainly you want to make the leg that comes over the head light so that you can clear the head with that leg before you butt hits the floor. This makes it very difficult to be stacked while also maintaining weight on your partner.

3. Also make sure to come through at the wrist for the armbar. Pulling at the wrist can sometimes overcome the hands being clasped to defend the armbar without having to do anything else, just pulling hard at the wrist.

Play with these techniques together and then when I post the 3rd video next week this will have a lot more value as a comprehensive set of attacks.

The post Submission from Mount Armbar Combo off of Cross Collar Choke appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show a variation the Cross Collar Choke with the arms being completely straight. There are a lot of different ways to do a cross collar choke, and I personally use a lot of different methods. This is one of my favorite ways to do the Cross Collar Choke as it doesnt burn my grips and it’s highly effective.

Notice the head placement on the mat. Correct basing on the hairline is extremely important, both for safety AND effectiveness. This will take some getting used to as we have been conditioned to maintain weight on our butt in mount rather than our hips and abdominal muscles.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

The post Submission Mount Cross Collar Variation with Straight Arms appeared first on jitseasy.

During class this week we put an emphasis on triage and how to salvage a good position once your opponent starts to escape.

This is an important skill and one that is fairly common. In the other videos on this series I show some variations of this where your foot placement is a little more aggressive in maintaining a good position.

The post Maintaining Back Control Ankle Flick appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show an Open Guard Pass that I call the Pony Pass. This is an important transition that presents itself a lot throughout various positions but I feel this is one of the easiest ways to practice the movement.

After the demonstration of the technique I included some instruction on what a good training partner will do to produce the desired space for practice. Obviously, while rolling, this will be a much smaller window but the concept applies the same.

This is part of a passing sequence that I showed from DLR and while this does not appear to be that viable, when paired with the second pass, it happens a lot more than you would think.

As you get better at this movement you will not have to place your hands on the floor (and you really should avoid doing that after you master the weight transfer and pathway with your hips).

The post De la Riva Pass Chicken Squat to Pony Pass appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show a really fun and dynamic pass. I’ve known this pass for awhile, and while I’ve gotten some success out of it, it is important to realize that it not something you should rely on regularly.

Once your opponent/partner gets a beat on you that you like to do this they will be very careful of allowing that top leg to stay straight. This can be a powerful thing in setting up your other passes, as the threat of this is forcing them to continually pump their legs. Make sure you use the threat of this, to set up your other passes.

With that being said, makes sure to watch the video to see the pathway that I take. There is some variance available in the pass, but make sure that you look towards the ceiling and create backwards pressure on the calf while at the same time you’re performing a wrestling shot.

The post Spider Guard Pass Duck Under appeared first on jitseasy.

This is a very common pass to the Spider Guard. It is highly effective throughout all of the ranks if you can get standing on the thigh. Keep in mind, against an active Spider Guard Player that your timing and spatial control will have to be extremely well controlled in order to stand on the thigh. It is for that reason that I say this pass is a medium percentage pass. Not because it’s not good, but becuase it is common enough that most avid Spider Guard players are on the look out for this movement.

I point out in the video that you want to step on the bottom leg when it is straight. Throughout the week we had a lot of conversations about this bottom leg, and although I say the leg should be straight, it is ok to step on that leg at any time when you can get to it. Pinning it to the ground has a lot of power, especially when it comes to breaking the grip on the sleeve.

This move is best used in conjunction with the other passes. If you go to step on the thigh , and they pump their legs and move their hips away from the step it’s totally ok to combine this with the last pass that I posted. It will also work in conjunction with the future passes that I will post.

The post Spider Guard Pass Step on Thigh appeared first on jitseasy.

In this video I show a way to get a dominate overhook grip while controlling the outside arm. This was part of a series where we learned that far side wrist control can allow you some really great hip movement.

I first saw this technique on another youtube channel (trainfightwin) but I cant seem to find the guys name to give him credit.

I have a series that I use off of this grip and I rarely overhook unless I have this grip.
