Four-time IBJJF no gi world champion Elisabeth Clay talks about dealing with the pressure of competing at an elite level as a teenager, and keeping the underdog mentality.
Elisabeth Clay is a four-time IBJJF no gi world champion and a six-time IBJJF no gi pan champion who first burst on to the scene by winning ADCC Trials at just 16 years old. Elisabeth is currently preparing for a trilogy match with Brianna Ste-Marie at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 10.
Jits Magazine spoke to Elisabeth about her upcoming match with Brianna and she reflected on their previous two meetings. She also shed some light on how she managed to make a return to elite competition less than 3 months after welcoming her first child, and spoke about the beginning of her Jiu-Jitsu journey in Alaska.

The 2018 Pan Championship gave us an unforgettable showdown between Kennedy Maciel and Gabriel Sousa in the brown belt light-featherweight division. From start to finish, their match was packed with action, showcasing the incredible talent of the next generation.
In this video, 2nd-degree black belt Marc Barton shares a 4-attack sequence from the closed guard arm wrap system, a highly effective setup he learned directly from his instructor, the legendary Coral Belt Mauricio Gomes.
By trapping the arm and breaking posture, this system forces your opponent into a defensive position, setting up a chain of high-percentage attacks:
Attack Sequence:
Arm Wrap Choke – Secure control and go for the first submission.
Posture Control Choke – Use their reaction to tighten the strangle.
Triangle Choke – Transition into a powerful triangle setup.
Cutting Armbar – If they defend the triangle, attack the arm!
