The post Beginner Tries Mount Escape FIRST TIME! appeared first on jitseasy.

Being able to breathe when you’re grappling is important, especially when you’re trapped on the bottom and all your opponent’s weight is crushing down on you. Here are my best physical, psychological and technical tricks for dealing with this terrifying situation!

The claustrophobia article referred to in this video is available here: http://www.grapplearts.com/grappling-with-claustrophobia-in-brazilian-jiu-jitsu/. It has consistently helped a TON of BJJ, grappling and MMA students deal with their claustrophobia issues on the ground.

Good luck with your grappling journey!

The post How to Breathe When You’re Trapped on the Bottom and Getting Crushed appeared first on jitseasy.

Do you ever panic when you’re stuck in the bottom of side control? This is the issue that Bob is having.

Bob says he is the smallest person in his gym and gets stuck in the bottom of side control. And while he knows techniques to escape, he panics and cannot seem to recall the techniques because he panics.

His question is how to address this issue during his Brazilian Jiujitsu training.

In this video I discuss a couple of simple ideas and a tip to work on getting away from the panic mindset that often grips people when they are still new to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The tip is pretty simple but will take a good deal of discipline to use it effectively.

The tip is to roll with some of your partners, and essentially let them pass and put you in a bad position like the bottom of side control. And once they are there. . . don’t try to escape.

Instead. . .

Just stay tight and don’t let them submit you. And see how long you can last. The purpose of doing this is that it will give you more time in the position. And more time in the position equals more comfort and less panic.

Once you get comfortable in bad spots, it makes it easier to relax, not panic, and use your techniques more effectively and efficiently.

I also discuss how I used this in my own training as well as how I’ve used this with my BJJ students to get them to be more effective with their escapes.

I hope this BJJ escape tip helps with your side control escapes!

Do you struggle with getting choke in BJJ? Does it freak you out a little or make you panic?

Recently I received a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu related question from Aline who said she was struggling with getting chokes during her training.

In spite of training hard doing Brazilian Jiujitsu, MMA and other combat sports. She still struggles when she get’s choked. In particular she says the triangle choke freaks her out. She even says that sometimes she will cry because of the feelings that happen.

I relate to her. Because in the beginning when I was a BJJ White Belt I used to freak out and hyperventilate when I would be stuck in Mount. To the point that during training I would just tap out. Later on I found myself struggling with the same choke as Aline in BJJ. The triangle choke.

It became my kryptonite and when someone applied the choke in a BJJ competition or rolling. I would freeze up and just give up mentally.

In this video I discuss the problem our friend is having and I also go into detail with how I overcame the issues. The biggest piece of advice in the video is simply desensitize yourself by going into these positions more and more.

If you’re having a similar issue as this, then I hope the video and short Chewy Ramble is helpful.

Thanks!
