Asking The Right Questions In BJJ

February 23, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of the saying that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions. Same too with BJJ. But like everything in life…there is a time and a place and also a way to ask questions. In this vlog, I cover the best ways to approach questions with your coach and your peers. Stick to these and you will have a great time on the mats. Hope you like the video guys…let me know your thoughts.

4 Awesome Attacks From Shin To Shin

February 20, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Shin to shin is a really cool guard and I think it has become increasingly necessary as many grapplers are incredibly proficient at placing one leg between yours and then sliding their knee through in a knee through pass. This might happen on say, 70% of the time. So, it’s a good idea to think about a way to prevent this. One such way is to place your shin against theirs. In this video, I discuss how to take this shin to shin position and move into an attacking position. It’s a lot easier than it looks. There is reward with careful viewing guys. I hope you enjoy the video and give it a try on the mat. And as always, let me know how you go…

The Cradle Series!

February 19, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this video, I discuss in detail a fantastic series of moves involving the wrestler’s cradle. This series of moves is not widely known within the jiu-jitsu community. Or where it is known, is probably not used that often. It is also a tremendously powerful position and trust me, you don’t want to be caught in it. Watch this video and you will see what I mean. Enjoy the video…

Escape That Triangle!

February 17, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I love doing triangles. But you want to know a secret. If you know how to properly resist a triangle. You won’t fear them. I’m not saying not to try and avoid them. Of course, prevention is always best. But with a few techniques, your training partners are going to have a real hard time submitting you even on those odd occasions where they trap you in a triangle.

Hip Escape Hacks!

February 16, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

We often learn the hip escape on our first day of Jiu Jitsu class. Often even just as the warm-up. But when we are up against a skilled practioner who has you in side control and is controlling you with pressure and stopping your hips from moving. Well, that’s just another story. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be doing the hip bump escape. It means we need to bring other aspects to the game. In this video, I discuss some tricks and hacks to give you some help. They are great little techniques guys and you should be able to use the straight away. Give them a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Head Lasso to Paper Cutter

February 14, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this video I show a transition from the North/South Choke to the Paper Cutter. I also provide a few tips on how to finish this technique.

Often when I see this move performed it crushes the windpipe. While this can be a bi product of doing the move, it should be a strangle first (blood choke). Make sure to understand that the collar is one piece of cloth and the collar grip under the shoulder has the ability to tighten the choke as well.

Make sure your hips are turned towards your opponents and your only on one cheek. The pathway around the head is very important and adds a lot to the choke. Check it out and try it both ways during drilling and you will see there is a clearly better choke.

A Sneaky and Powerful RNC Attack

February 14, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is one of my favorite ways to set up the RNC (rear naked choke) because it’s so unexpected. Your opponent is anticipating and defending against the hooks, but you use that opportunity to sink in the choke deep and tap him out without ever taking his back.

In the video I reference my podcast where I’ve talked to many of the biggest names in BJJ. Search for The Strenuous Life Podcast on your favorite podcast provider or follow the links below:

Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense | 4 Defenses Against Wall Pins

February 14, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I decided to upload a bonus video this week with the help of Amy Kilpatrick (RGJJN Brown Belt). This video focuses on common types of pins against a wall: one-hand choke, two-hand choke, double arm pin and headlock style pin. These are some of the most common ways someone may try to pin you against a wall, and the techniques we show here are leverage based ways to defend against these.

Be sure to share and subscribe if you like self-defense videos like this.

Sweep Your Training Partner From Combat Base!

February 13, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

It is very common to start your roll in combat base. And that’s a great position to start in. But it also has some weaknesses. And in this video, I discuss a neat little trick to get a great sweep, straight out of the gate for that training partner that is in combat base. It’s a fun little move and surprisingly effective. Particularly if you have longer legs. Check this video out guys and give it a try on the mat. Happy rolling…

Armbar Hack To Take The Back!

February 12, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I’ve done a number of videos on how to break the armbar from that training partner that just won’t give in. But let’s say you do all those moves and perhaps he is still just too strong, or maybe you are just too tired or it’s just not going to be an armbar day. It happens. But don’t give in. Because often you can go from armbar to being held in side control very quickly. And that’s the worst-case scenario. What we want to do is be in a position to continue the fight. And a great little technique is to use the armbar to take the back. Watch this video guys. I hope you like it. And as always, give it try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Finishing Head And Arm Chokes!

February 11, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

How often do we get the head and arm choke on and your training partner taps and they say ‘oh man, that cranked my neck’. Now we training in Jiu-Jitsu to, where ever possible, get the best possible choke. And really don’t want to hurt our training partners with a cranked neck. The big question, therefore is, how do you know or how do you make sure it really is a legit choke, not a neck crank. Watch this video guys where I cover this in some details. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

How To Finish That Triangle!

February 10, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Getting triangles on new guys is one thing. But soon everyone learns that keeping one arm in and one arm out leads to very bad things. Not only that when you are up against an experienced and pretty tough opponent. They are not going to give up that easily. And I am sure we have all been in that situation, where we feel everything is on, but our training partner is just not tapping. What’s going on? Let me take you over some quick little ideas, thoughts, and techniques that you are going to love when it comes to finishing those triangles. Keep a close watch on the details guys. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes…
