The Tornado and Leg Drag Guard Passes are two fundamental guard passes that are used at the highest levels of BJJ in both gi and no-gi competitions. From https://www.grapplearts.com/foundation here is a breakdown of these passes AND how to train them against resistance so that you can become a guard passing machine as fast as possible. One side benefit is that your partner will also develop much better guard retention, so it’s win-win for you and your training partners.

The No Hands drill is a powerful tool to improve your guard retention and make your guard impassable. Check out BJJ Games (https://www.grapplearts.com/bjjgames) for many more skill-developing games! Live training footage starts at 4:59 in this video.

If you just think of a submission just as an attack then you’ll have a very difficult time submitting good people. The truth is that in order to submit skilled grapplers you first have to be able to control them in that position, which means thinking about and training submissions as positions. Here, from the new instructional BJJ Games (https://www.grapplearts.com/bjjgames) is the armbar control game which will teach you how to control the armbar as a position. Live training footage starts at approx 4:21

In part 2 of this 4 part mini-series we look a the core drill that trains the absolutely essential sweeping, offbalancing and guard retention movements of the Single Leg X Guard. This is a small portion of https://www.grapplearts.com/single-leg-x-guard-masterclass/ The Single Leg X Guard Masterclass available on Grapplearts.com, and also available as a download within the Grapplearts BJJ Master App (https://www.grapplearts.com/masterapp).

The S Mount is a VERY powerful position in BJJ – it puts a TON of pressure on your opponent and gives you unparalleled opportunities to attack with the armbar and other submissions. One way to get into the S Mount is to jump into it from side control when your opponent is keeping his arms tight. This is a movement of intermediate complexity but you can train it on your own using a heavy bag on the mat (shown in the first few seconds of this video).

BJJ Basics: Collar Drag to Backtake.

Sometimes to create the openings for a submission or sweep (or even just the ability to stand up) you need to get your opponent moving and unstabilised. This is one of my favorite drills to create that movement – it’s a great warmup drill with a lot of applications.

This video was from one of our Tuesday night No Gi Training sessions. This was right before a string of No Gi competitions happened. So we were all pushing ourselves.

We started off with some BJJ drills to take Back Mount from the Turtle position. And then we moved into several different rolling variations. During the rolling we were all chasing after the submission. This is in part due to the Submission Only competitions we had coming up. There’s also a little wrestling and takedown action mixed in there.

While you’ll see us pushing ourselves during the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition training. You’ll also see smiles and laughing thrown into the middle of it.

This is something our BJJ gym culture embodies. Train hard, push yourself to be better, lift those up around you and remember. . . have a good time.

To me in a nutshell that one of the best parts about Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Hope you guys enjoyed the rolling and training in this video.
-Chewy

In this video I show 7 Arm Drag and Collar Drag drills you can use. The arm drag and collar drag drills and variations can be used by themselves or together.

Here’s a list of the drills:
– Arm Drag
– Collar Drag
– Far Side Hook Switch
– Bow Pull Back Take
– Arm Drag To Double Leg
– Arm Drag Combination
– Re-Drag With Combination

The drills start off with your basic arm drag and collar drag. From there I show some different movement drills that you can incorporate with the techniques.

We did several of these drills during one of my Saturday morning classes recently and the guys loved them. There is obviously a technical benefit from them and the moves can be chained together to make fun connected sequences. But in addition to that, everyone was also a sweaty mess. Especially the arm drag to double leg.

Also, it’s worth noting that pretty much anytime I use the arm drag in the video it can be supplemented with the collar drag. For me personally, I always try and use the arm drag when I can since the collar is gi only, whereas the arm drag is universal. But it’s still a solid move to throw into the mix.

I hope these 7 BJJ drills help give you something to play around with during an open mat or during your own training!

If you have any questions or requests, feel free to shoot them over to me!

Thanks
Chewy
