This is a sweep from halfguard I’ve been having some success with the past few years.

It came from utilizing a principle I use from my halfguard butterfly where I collapse their leg into me to upset their base.

(Re-Upload) Escaping the mount is one of the most important skills and one of the most difficult things to in Grappling.

You should first learn how to be comfortable and safe when someone is mounted on you before you focus on escaping.

But, once you have some level of competence in bad positions, a good time to escape is when your opponent is transitioning to from one position to another.

In this scenario, we work on using the Upa as he mounts and not after he has settled into the position.

Because he has us in a tight hold, he tends to become over-confident and not realize he has limited his base, making it possible to trap and roll him when he is focused on going to mount.
This is one of my favorite ways to escape.

Check out my school’s page (www.gracieschwarzwald.com) and find me on facebook and instagram under that name as well

I call the position I start in The Overhook Guard. It was one of the first closed guard attack positions I learned (It was so central to my team’s game that some called it Hub One).
Here is an Old School Armlock from this position.

This was the way the Armlock was often performed in Traditional Jiu-Jitsu (and one that Grandmaster Helio often taught) because it was safer from a Self-Defense perspective.

This is a pass I learned very early on and has been very effective for me.
The traditional stack pass can be difficult no gi because of the lack of friction. It can be hard when fighting the legs pushing you away or securing a shoulder grip, especially if the opponent is sweaty and slippery.
In this pass, the goal is to connect to his lower back so that his legs can’t push into me.
Pinning the knee also makes it very difficult for the opponent to backroll out of the pass.

I’ve only had 1 negative email ever sent to me about my grip fighting course.

I was told it was “too basic” for him.

I didn’t take it too personally. It works great for me and my student’s so I’m just sharing.

But funny enough.

On the very same day a friend of mine and fellow Black Belt sent me an email saying it was helping him and his students a ton in competitions.

1st email was from someone within their 1st couple of years of training.

The other was from someone who’s already dumped almost 20 years into BJJ.

The difference? The Black Belt knows that you can learn something everywhere. It’s a mindset focused on execution and personal responsibility.

There are 2 types of people when it comes to buying video courses.

The 1st group are Collectors.

They collect gis, dvds, books, etc expecting the item itself to make the difference.

Armed with all this they for some reason never get better. And instead of taking the personal responsibility for their game. They blame it on the item or video course itself.

They move on to the next series to buy hoping this will fix it.

This is why people buy a diet plan but somehow never lose weight.

The second group are Executors.

This group knows that the responsibility is on them. That no matter what they watch, read or learn. It’s on them to make it happen.

And make it happen they will!

They do this by mercilessly executing.

By taking in the information they are learning and putting it to practice. Drilling it. Showing it to others. And at the very least using it during rolling.

So whether we are talking about video courses like my “Basic” Grip Fighting Series 😉 (Click here to check it out)

Or even the techniques your coach shows you in class.

If you want a noticeable change. Put that information to use! Don’t just be a collector!

Talk to you guys next time!

Standing Arm Drag to Back Take

Standing Arm Drag to Back Take

Everyone who’s trained BJJ has probably at some point experienced technique overload.

You know what the is right? It’s where you have so many techniques that you don’t even know where to start focusing.

I think this is an especially big issue with White Belts in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Our friend Sean ran into this overload issue while looking up BJJ techniques.

He said he was looking up De La Riva techniques and there was just so many different techniques and positions that he was just lost.

In this video I talk about the approach of two BJJ White Belts. 1 was myself and the other was a friend of mine who trained with me for several years.

As White Belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu we had 2 different approaches. My friend focused on more techniques and had a TON of different techniques.

These two different approaches showed themselves pretty quickly.

When we would roll the two approaches clashed and 1 of us got the better of the rolling.

Watch the video to check it out! 🙂

Reverse Hook Sweep

Whether you’re using collar chokes, lapel chokes or any sort of choke that uses the gi in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The focus is the same. Create pressure on the carotids using the fabric either directly against the neck or to support the hands.

In this BJJ technique video you’ll see Adam and I sharing a drink of bourbon. But beyond that we dive into a few tips when using a Baseball Choke.

You can watch a more in depth Baseball Choke video here:

This question comes from Titus who is struggling hitting the choke asked for some tips.

In this video I give specific tips on how to improve the Baseball choke
but also how to make any Brazilian Jiujitsu collar choke tighter by focusing more on the wrist.

I’ve found that this is one of the most important details.

I used to struggle with collar chokes because I was using the wrong part of my body. The arms. When I began to focus on the wrists and the push with them.

It dramatically improved.

So if you’re struggling to finish your collar chokes in BJJ practice or competitions and want to make them tighter. Give the tips in this video a try!

I hope it helps.

What submissions can you use in a BJJ competition or a street fight or self defense situation? This is the question for today’s video.

The question comes from our buddy Bart who is curious about what kind of submissions cross over from the competition realm in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to a street fight.

In this video I start by sharing that if I am going to use a submission on the street. I’m going to focus on chokes instead of joint locks.

This is a two fold function. 1 most people don’t know what grappling is or what they should be feeling with joint locks. And if the person is really aggressive. The joint lock may not work as effectively as desired. Especially if they are are on some sort of drug.

The 2nd reason is, it lets me finish the fight without doing a lot of damage to the person so I can move on with what I was doing. For me, self-defense is about defending myself and not about dishing out excessive amounts of harm to another human.

Another side aspect of a fight situation that I didn’t mention is that most often I will do my best just to control the situation using position.

If it’s a situation involving a 1 on 1 fight (which isn’t always), I will focus my attention on controlling the person till authorities can take it from there.

Back to the video!

In this video I show a standing rear naked choke and a standing guillotine choke. Both of which I have seen work in either my personal experience or the experiences of others in the street and/or mma.

If you watch this video understand that I’m speaking about a very specific situation. Street fights where rules are not recognized present too many variables.

The goal of a fight situation should be to avoid and get out of the situation if at all possible.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

In my opinion, being able to takedown from various clinches should be the core of your takedown arsenal, at least in the beginning of your training.
I’m a big fan of knee block takedowns because they don’t require a lot of power and if they fail it is still possible to work into other clinch takedowns.
