A Quick Roll-With The Struggling Grappler

August 20, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Hi, guys…I promised to load a couple of rolls with some commentary. Apologies for the delay. I’ve uploaded this playful roll. My training partner, Paul, and I were both coming off injuries and sickness so wanted to loosen up a little bit. And we took the opportunity to film and comment. I hope you like it. A ‘proper’ roll to come. Promise. Hope you enjoy the video.

Street Self Defence X-chokes in T-shirts!

August 19, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I often get asked by my students – do these cross chokes work on the street. Well, absolutely they do. In fact, I think a cross choke from closed guard is an absolutely perfect self-defence technique and can be used very effectively. Watch in this video, as I demonstrate some of the basics with my wife. Wearing regular street clothes. This stuff works guys. Check out the video, let me know your thoughts…

5 Attacks From Lapel Closed Guard

August 18, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I’ve done a number lapel closed guard videos recently. And this time I thought I would cover 5 attacks. From this great position. The great thing about the lapel closed guard – is that it’s relatively easy to get…and when you have it. It’s very difficult for your training partner to unravel. In other words, it’s a real winner! Watch this video, and give it a try on the mat. Let me know how it goes…

This is a move that I have been working on lately to counter the Deep Half. Deep half is very popular in my gym and some of the guys and gals are very good at it.

BMI And BJJ – What You Need To Know!

August 14, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

BMI – It’s measured all the time…especially by medical institutions and it can mean many different things – some accurate and helpful. Others not so. For example, on a BMI index, I am overweight. But I have very low body fat but high muscle mass. But should we throw out this measure? Listen to this video as I discuss BMI in Jiu Jitsu.

August 3, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

A subscriber asked – how do you get out of the Reverse Kesa Gatame position? I really like this position and I use it and a lot of my students use this as a transition to mount. So how do you escape? I’ve pulled this video together to show you some of the positioning a moves to escape. There is reward from close viewing guys. Spend some time on this video and you will get a lot from it. I know you will love it. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go.

The Kesa Kimura!

August 2, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

If you get your opponent in headlock control there are a couple of great and effective escapes. One of which we have filmed before and that is grabbing your opponent around the waist, running your hips underneath him and simply (and rather effortlessly) rolling them over. Fantastic. My students have become very savvy at using this technique. The answer is the Kesa Kimura. Oh my how effective this technique is. Give this video a careful viewing guys. The direction of the hips, the locking of the arms and re-positioning. Not hard. But when you do it…you will get an awesome tap. But be careful because it is very powerful and you don’t want to hurt your training partners. Give it a try on the mats guys and let me know how you go…

Big Secret – My 40 Year Old Students Are The Toughest!

July 29, 2017 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This may be different to a lot of academies…but I get the feeling that it’s probably not. The toughest guys in my academy – are around 40 years old! now that might be counter intuitive. One would suspect that as the decades move along that the students would get a little weaker. But, certainly, in my academy, the opposite seems to be true. The reason for this phenomena is, I think, simple…the 40-year-olds don’t come with bags of ego and just forget about the bullsh@t and just want to learn, roll and get better. It’s that simple. Any why should it be any other way. Let me know your thoughts guys?
