The Gift Wrap Position is a powerful modification on the technical mount, which gives you a lot of control over the bottom opponent. This allows you more ability to transition to the back, set up submissions, as well as great striking opportunities.

In this video, Jared Jessup and I explore the technical details of achieving, controlling and manipulating this position. Hope you like it.

The post Jiu-Jitsu Positions & Submissions | The Gift Wrap appeared first on jitseasy.

This video was inspired by some concepts I gathered by watching Malachy Friedman’s work on what he refers to as The HeisenGuard. This guard configuration adds a lot of leverage to some bilateral set-ups for sweeps and submissions.

There are lots of options and opportunities, and in this video, with the help of Jared Jessup, I show the main entry to Omoplata, a back take option, a truck entry and a sweep to mounted triangle.

The post New Guard Submission Opportunities | Jiu-Jitsu Techniques appeared first on jitseasy.

Here are a few unique opportunities that arise occasionally, which actually make submissions available from inferior positions. It is obviously better to gain the superior position, control and take the submission safely from there…however, sometimes the element of surprise from a bottom submission can take someone off guard.

Let me know what you think and please share the video if you like it!

Here are a couple of slick and sneaky submission setups from side control as shown by my friend and UFC fighter, Mike Pyle. This Americana and Arm Triangle are pretty high percentage from this position. Let me know what you think, and be sure to give credit to Mike when you tap your training partners or opponents in competition with these!
