Arm Drag & Russian System 07 | Butterfly Guard 3 – Russian & Drag to Arm Trap RNC (Mar. 30, 2025)

Gary Berger — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 09:00:55 +0000

In this class, we were covering using the Arm Drag and the Russian 2 on 1 from various positions and exploring its uses.

In the last video, I show how to use both to get to the back from Butterfly Guard and then some details on setting up the Rear Naked Choke.

Here, I go a little further into bypassing their defences in order to get the Rear Naked Choke

Learn the “Covid Grip” to Escape Side Control

Gary Berger — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 10:10:44 +0000

I visited the school I began in the US which is now run by Lee King to train. The assistant instructor is Chris Currie (2023 Pan American Silver Medalist) showed me a technique that he had come up with for controlling and reversing his opponent when caught in bottom side control.

I liked it so much that I asked him to share it with me.

Do you have a System and are you Working to Improve it?

Gary Berger — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 13:00:52 +0000

A friend of mine once said, “the only techniques you know are the ones that you can execute live.”

I’ve known so many people that try to learn every technique under the sun but most of those are irrelevant if you can’t make them work.

The better plan is to build a system and constantly work to refine it only adding techniques that fit into that system.

Then, the battle plan is to funnel them into your system. The way I explain it to my students is “You don’t have to be great at Jiu-Jitsu, you have to be great at YOUR Jiu-Jitsu. And, then make your opponent fight in the arena of your Jiu-Jitsu.’

But, again, rather than learning a lot of random techniques to convince myself that I am very knowledgeable I’m more focused on expanding or refining my system.

The first clip is a technique I use a lot because it’s vital if you play guillotines to stop an educated opponent who understands he needs to pass to the safe side.

And, I still use it all the time. But, because I use it all the time I was able to work out one of the weaknesses of it.

And, that is if I’m really working to drive his head down from the Butterfly guard for a more effective choke then my hooking leg becomes weak and it’s harder to keep connected to his leg.

Therefore, it’s harder to keep the hook and sweep him if he then jumps to the safe side.

So, I’ve developed some techniques to deal with this.

In the second clip, you can see one that I use.

I use my back leg to block and catch his leg so that I can reinsert my hook and complete the sweep.

This is why it’s important to develop your own system and then work to constantly explore it and increase its effectiveness.

Then your combative goal is to learn how to funnel your opponent into your system.

This is a far better use of your time than learning all the “best” techniques from a bunch of random systems which don’t actually fit together.

One final note to understand my system here. Often after, I sweep, I will post my foot on their hip and elevate my hips. This allows me space to readjust my grip and to use gravity into the choke.

But, Frank here is incredibly strong and was doing a good job hand fighting. So, I concede the reversal because I knew that he’d have a harder time fighting my hands on bottom and because he’d have his hips elevated which would mean I could easily sweep him and get back on top if I wanted.
