A few days ago I posted a video of Class Instruction and a Particular technique I use to Trouble shoot when I am trying to finish the Butcher Choke.
Here is a mother of my favorite methods and you can see me using it during sparring.

If you’ve trained with me at all you know that one of the cornerstones of my philosophy is that you have to understand the utility of a technique and how it might change when the combative reality changes.

At almost every BJJ school, techniques are taught in the context of sport grappling and almost always with an eye towards sport competition.

And, so people learn to view a technique through only one lens, which gives them a very limited understanding of the Art.

This is why BJJ people are so comfortable defining terms as best and worst without understanding those terms are useless when expanded into other conflict arenas.

This really limits practitioner’s understanding of techniques as well as their ability to effectively use them.

Knee on Belly is an exceptionally useful technique outside of just sport grappling where it is usually viewed as just “2 points.”

One of my main goals from Knee on Body for me is to use it to force the opponent into extending his arms away from his body to alleviate the pressure.

Then I pin an arm with my leg. This is a very big aspect of my side control game, especially against bigger and stronger people.

I’ll covert this extensively in my Pressure and Control Instructional which I will begin shooting soon.

Yes.
And, No.

My assistant, Erkan Mete, and I are doing a Complete Jiu-Jitsu Course including all aspects of the Art – Standing Self-Defense, Clinchwork, Takedowns, Striking and Groundwork.

We are posting a lesson each day (Monday through Friday) – completely free.

I’m posting one video here but all the content will be on my school’s YouTube Channel.

So, please support us and go to our channel – Gracie Schwarzwald – and Like and Subscribe to get this content and please let other people interested in Complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu know.

One of my Patreon members asked me to cover a problem he’s having. He likes to pass low and tight (as do I).

But, one of the dangers of this style of passing is that you are susceptible to the Guillotine choke.

And, often when people get caught in the choke their instinctive (and learned) defences just push them into bigger problems.

So, I made this video to show him how I defend guillotines – and it all begins with understanding how the choke works and how to prevent their choking mechanics.

The Submissions of Power:

“Three Armlocks for the Camarillo Kings under the Sky,

Seven Footlocks for the Danaher-Lords in their Halls of Stone,

Nine Chokes for Jitz Bros, doomed to die.

One Wristlock for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne,
In the Land of Schwarzwald where the Shadows lie.

One Wristlock to rule them all, One Wristlock to find them,
One Wristlock to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

In the Land of Schwarzwald where the Shadows lie.”

Knowing how to defend strikes while on the ground is the most important skillset you must develop in your groundwork.

This means it should be trained as often as possible.

We covered some Fundamentals in how to defend strikes while on the ground in a previous video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhBXIJZ-jwI&t=1s).

These are just introductions and not deep dives into these techniques.

However, these are essential skills.
If you cannot effectively defend strikes while on the ground then your groundwork is basically useless for protecting yourself.

The paradox is that in order to protect myself from damage, it often makes it more difficult to set up sweeps and submissions while doing so. That’s because I need space to submit him or sweep him.
But, space is also what he wants in order to powerfully hit me.

So, people don’t understand how to do both.

In essence, one way I can do it is in transition as he begins to try to make space. Crucially, I fill the space as he does until I have the opportunity to attack.

In this situation, my opponent tries to get to his feet to pull free and attack. But, he then gives me the opportunity to attack the Tripod Sweep.

Every martial arts develops to be more focused on defending itself than defending what “untrained” people will do.

BJJ is no different.

The vast majority of schools focus predominantly or exclusively with defending submissions.

Students rarely, if ever, learn or train how to deal with people trying to hit them – standing or on the ground.

Even if the person started BJJ classes in order to learn how to protect themselves, they never really learn how to protect themselves against the SINGLE MOST COMMON ATTACK they will have to deal with if they are attacked.

Or, if they do it’s a rare class once in a blue moon.

This is why many people (and even some BJJ instructors) believe is that if you want to learn to defend yourself, BJJ isn’t the Art you should choose.

So, here, Erkan and I give an introduction in how to approach defending strikes on the ground. This isn’t just a matter of a few techniques you need to learn but a foundational realignment on how you approach your grappling.

This is why it takes practice – because you fight like you train. And, you can’t adopt a whole new style of grappling when punches start flying.

This is also why I focus so much of my instruction on teaching control (even from the bottom).
