It’s incredibly important to dominate the gripfighting battle in BJJ because a single grip can determine the course of a match. From https://www.grapplearts.com/gripfighting here’s how to break your opponent’s collar grip, establish your own dominant position, and turn the match around!

Today’s BJJ Q&A is about a guy who’s a bit of a BJJ escape artist and he says it’s creating a problem when he travels to other gyms. Here’s what’s going on. . .

The Brazilian Jiu-jitsu student asking the question is flexible and is able to fight out of some seriously tight spots when caught in submissions. Well when he travels to other gyms, people don’t always know that he’s able to maneuver like he does and thinks that he’s just trying to avoid getting submitted and being irresponsible.

So he sends a message with a specific situation that happened during one of his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu travels and wanted to know what I’d do in the situation.

In the video I explain how to use this situation as a great training tool.

Thanks for watching the video!

In today’s video I answer a BJJ competition question where a young guy had his very 1st Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament and was in a situation where he had a guy in an armbar and the guy didn’t tap.

He said his opponent’s arm was crackling and popping and so he stopped instead of continuing. Because he did this the opponent came back and made the match much closer where it eventually came down to a decision.

His question is whether or not I would have broken the arm or not in competition. So in this video I explain what I would have done in similar competition situation.

Hopefully this video is helpful to you if you’re ever in a situation with a submission and you’ve gotta make a decision to break it or not.

This is just one of the no gi gripfighting sequences taught in https://www.grapplearts.com/gripfighting, The Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula featuring Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting

Today’s video is the 4th part of the series I started showing a really powerful, but sneaky, armbar I use in BJJ. If you’d like to go back through the series then use the link below.

If you’d like to learn more about the series join the wait list here: https://www.chewjitsutraining.com/Arms-Race-Signup

The last part of the series I showed how to do a north south choke from the armbar position. Today I show how to setup a Kimura attack as a decoy. Basically what happens is as we attack the Kimura (which is a legitimate submission threat that you can finish anytime) the person is no longer thinking about their original arm or neck. This allows us then to transition to those submissions easier . . . if of course we decide not to finish the Kimura.

Hope you’re enjoying the armlock sequence.

And if you’d like to see more. I’ll be releasing a armlock focused submission course coming up soon. If you want more info simply keep your eyes out or sign up to my Chew Crew daily newsletter by using the link below:

Offbalancing someone in the grappling arts is known as ‘Kuzushi’. Typically people use the term Kuzushi in a Judo context, but it can also be used in a jiu-jitsu context where you use it to set up sweeps, submissions and transitions to more dominant guard positions.

You can use Kuzushi from the guard in both gi and not gi, and in every form of guard including the closed guard, recumbent open guard, seated guard, half guard, etc.

The three basic types of Kuzushi from the guard are,

1, Hanging or swinging Kuzushi
2, Blocking or pushing Kuzushi, and
3, Intercepting Kuzushi

Once he’s off-balance and his alignment broken he’ll be much easier to deal with. He won’t be trying to pass your guard. He’ll be so off balance that all he’ll be thinking about is recovering his position.
