The 3 Types of Kuzushi from the Guard

Gary Berger — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 17:54:38 +0000

Offbalancing someone in the grappling arts is known as ‘Kuzushi’. Typically people use the term Kuzushi in a Judo context, but it can also be used in a jiu-jitsu context where you use it to set up sweeps, submissions and transitions to more dominant guard positions.

You can use Kuzushi from the guard in both gi and not gi, and in every form of guard including the closed guard, recumbent open guard, seated guard, half guard, etc.

The three basic types of Kuzushi from the guard are,

1, Hanging or swinging Kuzushi
2, Blocking or pushing Kuzushi, and
3, Intercepting Kuzushi

Once he’s off-balance and his alignment broken he’ll be much easier to deal with. He won’t be trying to pass your guard. He’ll be so off balance that all he’ll be thinking about is recovering his position.

The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula with Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting – Trailer

Gary Berger — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:30:00 +0000

This instructional gives you step-by-step gameplans and training methods for two of the most important skills in BJJ: gripfighting and offbalancing your opponent from the guard https://www.grapplearts.com/gripfighting.

The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula covers two of the most important (but least taught) aspects of jiu-jitsu…

Gripfighting, which determines who can be on offense in the guard, and
Kuzushi, without which your guard attacks just won’t be effective.
The step-by-step systems covered in this instructional will skyrocket your ability to sweep and submit people from the guard!

Gripfighting is the Cheatcode for Dominating the Guard
There’s just no other skill that gives you as much bang for your buck in jiu-jitsu as gripfighing. This is something that everyone at the elite level does, but the skill itself is rarely taught in jiu-jitsu class.

Once you get a dominant grip from your guard the advantage is yours. Now you can start off balancing your opponent and setting up your own sweeps, transitions and backtakes.

Gripfighting is also the secret to dominating bigger guys. After all, some dude may be able to bench 300 lbs but if he can’t get a good grip on you with his hands then he won’t be able to use all that strength to manhandle you.

Finally gripfighting is an almost perfect way to prevent guard passes because if you get dominant grips then you control the match and can shut down almost all of the other guy’s offense.

In The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula you’ll learn step-by-step gripping strategies to break your opponent’s grips and get dominant grips of your own. These are proven sequences and strategies to control your opponent, set up your offence, and win the guard battle in both gi and no gi.

Kuzushi is the Key to World Class Sweeps and Submissions from the Guard
Kuzushi from the guard is the art of destroying someone’s alignment to create openings for your attack.

It’s the secret sauce that separates recreational jiu-jitsu students from world class guard players. Basically kuzushi is required to sweep or submit people who don’t suck.

Just launching ‘a technique’ at your opponent is unlikely to work unless he’s a beginner. After all, every technique has a counter. But once his alignment is compromised then he’s much less able to prevent the sweep or submission. Kuzushi kills the counters.

Every single sweep, submission, or backclimb attempt should be preceded by off balancing your opponent first.

Once he’s off balance with his alignment broken he’ll be much easier to deal with. He won’t be trying to pass your guard. He’ll be so off balance that all he’ll be thinking about is recovering his position.

His frantic reactions to get back into position actually give YOU the opportunity to launch your real attack.

There’s no such thing as magic in BJJ, but properly applied Kuzushi comes pretty close.

In The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula you’ll learn exactly how to apply kuzushi to triple the effectiveness of your guard in both gi and no gi, against both standing and kneeling opponents, and from both the closed and open guard.

TSUKURI: BUILDING YOUR THROWING TECHNIQUE

Gary Berger — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:23:29 +0000

Tsukuri means “to build.” In other words, when doing this phase of a technique, you are building your throw. We often call this “fitting in” to a throw and that’s a good explanation as well. But by understanding that this is building phase of the throw after you have broken your opponent’s balance and posture (Kuzushi), you will do a better throw.

Powerful Kimura Setup for White Belts to Stop Basic Guard Break

Gary Berger — Sat, 12 Aug 2017 16:00:01 +0000

Here is a powerful Kimura setup from Guard that works off of a Basic Guard break many White Belts (and just people in general) will use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Many times setting up the Kimura from closed Guard can be tough because people are very conscious of their hands and arms and don’t allow someone to isolate them. If you’ve train Brazilian Jiujitsu you get a 6th sense about not letting your arms get over extended or pulled away from your body.

This is why you 1st have to focus on breaking the posture of the person rather than attempting a submission. It’s similar to the way a Judo player will explain a throw.

In Judo, before you can worry about the actual throwing technique. You have to focus on Kuzushi. Which is the pushing and pulling that causes a person to be off balance and open up the attack.

Attacking from the Guard on the ground is the same way. Before you begin to attempt the throw. You 1st have to knock the person off balance and break their posture.

Once the posture is broken. We can then attempt our actual attack.

In this video I try to share some of the simple details that can make the kimura from Full Guard work.

1. Isolate the arm.
2. Secure the figure 4 armlock for the Kimura / Ude Garami.
3.Move the body to the finishing position.
4. Use the WHOLE body to finish! Don’t just focus on pushing with the arms.

To drive home the idea of the 4th part of that list. When doing a submission in BJJ. Remember that the idea of a submission is to attack a part of our opponent’s body (arm, shoulder, knee, etc) with our WHOLE body. In the case of the Kimura. Recruiting as many muscles as possible will help to overwhelm our opponent’s strength with our shoulder lock.

If you’re a BJJ White Belt or you just enjoy the Kimura. I hope this video is helpful!

Thanks!
