Try These Techniques For A Tighter Triangle Choke

Gary Berger — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 16:02:12 +0000

If you have trouble finishing the Triangle Choke submission, then you could be lacking an important aspect of your hip mobility.

Hip internal rotation is not something many Jiu-Jitsu practitioners focus on, but it is a vital movement for having a tighter triangle as well as the ability to regain guard, and to maintain hip and knee health.

In this video I take you through three important components of improving hip internal rotation which will lead to more success in all of these areas in BJJ!

This video was inspired from a post that I saw on Instagram from BJJ Brown Belt @coach_christinamarie

Protect Your Shoulders From The Americana Submission

Gary Berger — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 20:00:04 +0000

There are numerous factors that can attribute to injuries. The Americana submission rotates the shoulder into end-range external rotation which stresses the joint, muscles, and even bone.

Important things to work on are shoulder mobility and strength.
These are a few of the factors to help with injury-prevention and protecting the shoulder. This series of exercises are great for mobility and prime the musculature around the shoulder as well as assist with strength.

In this video I take a step-by-step approach to improve the “Bump Sweep” for BJJ.

One Concept To Reduce Injuries and Improve Your BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 20:30:03 +0000

A basic concept that is extremely useful for injury prevention by limiting overuse injuries, improving your BJJ, and improving longevity in the body is known as “rotating the tires.”

This is not anything new but its a great concept to think about as it can force your opponent into a position or side they aren’t as comfortable from, it will distribute the load on your body and help maintain symmetry, and it will limit overuse injuries.

Simple and effective. Give it a try!

Finger Injury Vlog 3 – How To Train BJJ With One Arm

Gary Berger — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 18:13:37 +0000

In this video, I show some of my training session and how I train with one arm.

It has been a learning experience from knowing which positions I should try to implement and what to avoid during a training session.

It has been humbling but a great learning experience in developing my guard retention, mobility, and importance of control and position.

Thanks to my coach, Chewy, for getting some movement in with me during the roll and taking the time to teach and give me some advice during training!

How To Tell If You Need An X-ray Of Your Foot

Gary Berger — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 19:04:13 +0000

If you train jiu-jitsu, then you have most likely experienced a “pop” in your foot or ankle at one time or another.

Whether its from a transition or scramble, an ankle lock/toe hold, or even during a takedown. That “pop” freaks you out becuase you have no idea how bad the damage or injury is.

This set of rules known as “The Ottawa Ankle Rules” are very useful in figuring out whether you need to get an x-ray or not.

Follow the rules and if the results are positive then get an x-ray.

If you’re unsure at all or worried then get an x-ray.

This is just for educational purposes and a way to help with the decision making process but is not medical advice and always see a healthcare profession for any injury needs or concerns.

Relieve Low Back Pain With This S.I. Mobilization

Gary Berger — Thu, 09 May 2019 23:36:53 +0000

The “S.I.” or sacroiliac joint is an area in the lower back that can get painful or feel “pinched.”

There are numerous causes for pain in this area which can occur frequently in Jiu-Jitsu from playing a bottom guard position and getting stacked or compressed.

This area can also get irritated and painful from other activities such as improper lifting mechanics or prolonged sitting.

I share two variations that can be very useful and effective. The first one is using a bed or treatment table. The second variation is excellent when a table is not available and you are getting loosened up at a Jiu-Jitsu gym prior to training.

Give these a try, but remember that core and hip stability is also important in preventing the recurrence of symptoms, so check out some of the other videos to get ideas on strengthening.
