Everyone in Jiu Jitsu Should Know This Attack

Gary Berger — Wed, 04 May 2022 13:00:31 +0000

The Collar Sleeve Omoplata threat is one of the most foundational attacks in all of jiu jitsu. It’s very easy to establish collar sleeve control on your opponent and once you have those grip the omoplata threat will make your opponent expose so many other openings, DLR, Matrix, Triangle, and more. This video I show a simple system to apply this technique and include plenty of narrated sparring in the end to show it in action.

One of The Most Useful Grips in Jiu Jitsu

Gary Berger — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 14:58:18 +0000

This calf grip is so useful for transitioning from defense to offense in BJJ. One of the first defensive grips you will establish in jiu jitsu is a shin frame as people try to step towards you all the time, so turning this grip into your first grip allows you to immediately switch to attacking. Transitioning to De La Riva or Key Master immediately starts opening options for berimbolo, matrix, ankle locks and crab ride.

Gary Berger — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 15:18:16 +0000

The Lazer guard or cross sleeve guard is so powerful for setting up triangle chokes, but when you combine it with this vice guard set up its so hard to predict and defend. I go in depth into this combination with my brother in this video.
