GB Technique: Arm Drag Attacks

This week on GB Technique we are going to look at a variety of ways that we can use one of the fundamental hand fighting skills: the short arm drag.

ㅤ

Hand fighting is a way for us to gain a momentary advantage over our opponent and progress to the next position, get a takedown or catch a submission. Let’s take a look at some high percentage ways we can use the Arm Drag

Arm Drag Prof. Joe Scarola

To Guillotine

One of the key things to pay attention to here is how Prof. Joe uses his frames to get off of being flat on his back and in a position to go on the offense

Arm Drag – Prof. Marcio Feitosa

From Lasso Guard

One of the very best guard strategies – especially for smaller bjj players – is to look for a drag to expose the opponent’s back

Standing arm drag to Double Leg

This is a CLASSIC combination in stand-up grappling. The arm drag allows us to get by the opponent’s defense and shoot deep into their hips for the double leg

Seated guard to arm drag to back

Prof. Tussa takes that same arm drag and applies it to the ground position. This is one of the most important techniques to master from seated guard

인천 서구 검단 당하동 팀레드폭스 주짓수 & MMA -주짓수 블루 3그랄 승급함

딱 2년전에 화이트 3그랄 받았었는데..

우연하게도 같은 날 블루 3그랄을 받았다..

큰 아들도 화이트 4그랄 받음..

개인적으로 꾸준히 하는 것에는 자신있었는데..

주짓수를 하면서

진짜 제대로 뭔가를 꾸준히 하는게 정말 어렵고

내가 여태까지 얼마나

설렁설렁 해왔나 반성하는 시간이 되었다.

인생에 큰 변화를 준 주짓수를

얼마나 더 오래 할 지는 모르겠지만

여태까지 해온 만큼만 더 하면

또 뭐가 보이지 않을까 싶다.

GB Technique: The Rules of Sweeping with Prof. Feitosa

This week on GB Technique we are going to look at some of the common principles important to performing various guard sweeps.

ㅤ

You likely possess a whole arsenal of sweeps – many of which seem completely different in their mechanics – but there are a handful of common principles that make them all work.

1- Breaking the opponent’s posture

2- Undermining the opponent’s base

3- Control the posting arm/sleeve

ㅤ

Let’s take a look at some sweeping rules inaction by senior GB Prof. Marcio Feitosa.

ㅤ

X-guard sweep variation

Breaking the posture of the opponent. Notice how Prof. Marcio has a strong collar grip and has bent his opponent nearly in half. An opponent in a strong posture is very difficult to unbalance. The strong pushing action of the legs also serves to make the opponent bend over.

ㅤ

Butterfly Guard Sweep from Sit Up Guard

When the opponent has a strong base they can focus on passing your guard. It is essential to get underneath the opponent and undermine their base to disrupt their balance. Look how Prof. Marcio hooks under the opponent’s posted leg and move right underneath them to break the balance.

ㅤ

Spider guard sweep

Control the sleeve to prevent the opponent from posting. This is probably the #1 sweeping mistake we see. Not controlling the opponent’s arm and having them suddenly post and stop the sweep. Note how Prof. Marcio prevents the opponent from using her arm from stopping the sweep.

GB Technique: Escaping The Bottom Position

This week on GB Technique we are going to look at a common problem: getting stuck underneath our opponent’s pressure and body weight on the bottom. Without a solid strategy to defend and escape, you can quickly become exhausted and vulnerable to being submitted.

ㅤ

ㅤ

We are looking at 3 different bottom positions here but the escape techniques all share certain elements in common.

ㅤ

By applying to observe the common elements of:

1- making frames with the arms

2- using hip movement to create space

3- getting our legs involved to control the opponent

…we can equip ourselves with the tools to escape any bottom situation.

ㅤ

Let’s take a look at some specific bottom escapes from some of GB Online’s top instructors.

ㅤ

Prof. Braulio Estima shows how he uses frames to prevent the opponent from applying their full weight on top and then looks to sneak a hook inside with his foot. This type of escape is especially effective for smaller jiu-jitsu practitioners.

ㅤ

Trapped in Half Guard’s bottom

A common question from intermediate-level jiu-jitsu students is that they get caught underneath in the bottom half guard and don’t know how to progress their position. Prof. Tussa shows how to utilize frames and hip movement to come to the top

ㅤ

Escape the Knee on the Belly

Often when you are struggling to escape the bottom side mount, your opponent will quickly transition to the dreaded knee on the belly position. Prof. Victor Estima shows how he uses frames and hip bumps to thread his leg through to 50/50 Guard and a sweep to reverse the position to come to the top.

GB Technique: 3 Guard Passing Principles

This week on GB Technique we are going to look at the principles behind some of the guard passes that you learn in class at your Gracie Barra school. We need to learn to look at techniques in jiu-jitsu not only in terms of the mechanics (my left hand grabs the sleeve and my right hand controls the pants…) but also more deeply in terms of the principles of jiu-jitsu underlying the execution of the technique.

ㅤ

Let’s take a look at some principles in action in passing the guard.

Grip Breaking and Posture

What is the very first thing that Prof. Rodrigo does before beginning his Knee Slice guard pass? He breaks the opponent’s collar grip and regains a strong posture. No matter what style of guard your opponent is playing, as the passer you need to deal with their control grips and start passing from a strong posture or else your opponent can control you and look to sweep or submit.

ㅤ

Control the hips

Prof. Marcio Feitosa teaches how to pass the Sitting up / Butterfly guard

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CR1tZseJcZV/?utm_medium=copy_link

Pay attention to how Prof. Marcio repeatedly puts the guard player flat and pressures the hips. Grabbing the belt and pinching his opponent’s thighs between his elbows and knees, Prof. Marcio effectively kills the movement of the guard player’s hips. Most guard passing depends on control of the opponent’s hips.

Prof. Marcio uses forward pressure to control the hips and then methodically pass the guard.

ㅤ

Redirection

In this short video, count how many times Prof. Joe changes the direction that he is passing. Instead of trying to pass directly into the opponent’s defense, he switches sides and forces the opponent to react. After changing directions twice, Prof. Joe gets ahead of the guard player and is able to pass to his opponent’s back where they have little ability to defend the pass.

ㅤ

How can you apply these principles of guard passing to your own favorite guard passes?
