Black belt Victor Estima explains the mechanics of the technique he developed in 2009 alongside his brother Braulio. He’s been catching numerous opponents with the Estima lock and now he teaches what you have to do to do it yourself.

How to defend against the most common self defense situation. The sucker punch.

Preventing the Guard pass is the most important aspect of Jiu-Jitsu. The position is called Guard for the very purpose that the Guard position is what protect the bottom fighter from being attacked. Loose the Guard and you will not only be vulnerable to attacks but you will also start to get tired, once tired your technique will start to suffer.

Be sure to train your Guard preventions above all. Having a difficult Guard to pass will allow you to relax and have the confidence to attack you opponent. The harder you Guard is to pass the more you can open up and take chance.

Be sure to work this sequence it is a very power recipe for Guard retention.
