Essential Side Control Technique Every White Belt Should Know in BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 17:11:26 +0000

Today’s video question comes from a White Belt named Jon. (Had to look it up after the video! Sorry about that Jon!)

He’s a BJJ White Belt who loves using side control so his question is about my favorite types of side control techniques or something I think everyone should know.

So in this video I share 1 of my favorite side control movements in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The movement is simple and incredibly effective at creating opportunities for the back and submissions. I teach it to my White Belts and it’s part of our fundamentals curriculum, but it’s something I use all the time as a black belt in competitions and training.

So if you like side control, you need to know this movement!

Hope you enjoy the video.

The Shocking Side Control Escape that Ends in an Armbar

Gary Berger — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 17:58:39 +0000

The ‘surprise armbar’ escape from side control is great technique for two reasons. First, it’s a a totally valid escape that’s actually much easier to do than it looks, and second, it trains many of the movements and adjustments you need to master in order to do other, more conventional escapes like the elbow-knee escape from side control. Check out the full pin escapes program here: https://www.grapplearts.com/PinEscapes!

Good luck with your training,

Light Situational Examples With A Side Control Variation

Gary Berger — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 19:45:01 +0000

Many side control escapes start with the bridge. And the direction of the bridge will generally be towards the person on top. If done well, it will create enough space for rotation and hip escape.

That’s where this variation on top position comes in.

Stepping up the leg closest to the head as a base will create a structure that is hard to damage with the bridge alone. Also if you wedge the hip between your elbow and knee, there will be limited space for the hips to escape.

In this video, you’ll see a few demonstrations of me doing a few situationals in top position using the variation.

The intent on my side was to see how long I could hold him while expending the least amount of effort. And there is also one particular moment where I went for submissions.

Enjoy.

12 Minutes of BJJ Side Control Escapes & Guard Retention Focused Rolling

Gary Berger — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 16:25:33 +0000

Today’s video will focus on one of the most frustrating pins in BJJ, the Side Control.

Specifically, it will focus on escaping side control.

To watch a narrated version of this video, use the link below:
https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/sidebreakdown

You will see me do rounds with my Jiu-Jitsu students here at Derby City MMA, in Louisville, Kentucky. Specifically, I will be rolling with my Brown Belts & Black Belts.

I haven’t done a rolling video in a while and was excited to do another one. I have a side control escape series coming out soon too, so you can see some of the techniques from that instructional being used here, in live training.

If you’re struggling with side control escapes, you can start zoning in on specific rolls like you see in this video to help you improve in those uncomfortable areas.

On Sundays, we have an open mat so it’s a great time to choose a position and try to work through it like I decide to do here.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
