Principle 10: Frame
Substituting skeletal structure for muscular strength wherever possible throughout the fight.

To be consistently effective in jiu-jitsu against larger opponents, The Frame Principle is one we cannot live without. Helio Gracie embodied this principle more than almost any other.

Bypassing resistance by flowing around it.
The river does not focus on where the rock is, but rather where the rock is NOT.

Last year, New York City introduced the “Diaphragm Law” that held police officers personally and criminally liable for making contact with a suspect’s diaphragm during the course of an arrest. Instead of keeping New Yorkers safer, it had the opposite effect in two significant ways: 1) NYPD officers were highly discouraged from taking criminals into custody, and 2) when they did decide to take someone into custody, they would opt for higher levels of force (taser/baton/lethal) since the non-violent control positions like the mount or side control had been explicitly banned. Well, after an 11-month legal battle, New York Supreme Court Justice, Laurence Love deemed the law “unconstitutionally vague” and it has since been struck down. There is no doubt that law enforcement agencies across the country have a lot of room for improvement, particularly when it comes to use of force, but eliminating non-violent positions of control that are widely known to be safe and effective was one huge step in the wrong direction.

When it comes to standing guillotine success, there are two rules that govern everything: 1) never let your opponent get to the safe side, and 2) whoever initiates/controls the descent has the the advantage. Dustins’s amazing application of the Posture Principle (#16 of 32) led to one of the most beautiful guillotine defenses I’ve seen in the UFC, and if Conor would have deployed the Velocity Principle (#7 of 32) with a bit more conviction the night would have ended VERY differently.

Officer Barry Maddux had no grappling training prior to his completion of the GST Level 1 course in May 2021. After chasing down a shoplifter Officer Maddux was able to take him to the ground, establish full mount, maintain control long enough to calmly transition into the Americana Handcuffing Technique he learned in GST. His smile at the end says it all.

GST is now POST Certified in 38 states and the complete GST Level 1 course is now available for 100% online certification so any officer can complete the course with a partner from anywhere in the world.

If you’re on the fence, we’re offering 2-for-1 special for our online GST certification courses for two more weeks, and after that, the price goes back to normal. So if you’re gonna go for it, now’s the time.

Once you understand the power of principles, your relationship with jiu-jitsu will never be the same.

Using targeted actions to force specific reactions in your favor. Jiu-jitsu is a game of counter-attacks. If your opponent gives you an opening, take it. If your opponent does not give you an opening, then create it with an action that triggers an exploitable response. Regardless of the form – direct threats, decoys, disruptions, distractions, etc. –  the underlying goal remains the same: “be first, and be third.”
