Lots of Submissions from Float Pins – Uki Gatame 浮固

April 16, 2024 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Floating Pins, or Uki Gatame, are a category of pinning in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu that are versatile and powerful. This is due to the combination of stability and mobility they offer the top player. Knee on belly is probably the most famous example of this style of position, but other variations exist and are also very useful for eliciting submission opportunities. In this video, I cover examples including triangles, darce chokes, arm locks, leg attacks and more. Hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

Heel Hook from K-Guard

July 1, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is one of the best uses of K-Guard to uproot an opponent, and create an entry to the heel hook from backside 50/50. This is from a seminar on attacking from guard while mitigating striking potential. This seminar will be available with many others on my Patreon soon.

5 Uses For The Arm Crunch – Ude Gatame – Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

April 16, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The arm crunch, or ude gatame if you like the Japanese words, is an extremely useful, quick and deceptive submission in its own right. However, it can also be used to set up great opportunities for sweeps and transitions to other submissions, as well. In this video, I show the fundamental mechanics of the arm crunch, as well as using it for the following purposes:

– Hiza Gatame from Butterfly Guard
– Triangle Choke (Sankaku Jime) Transition
– Sumi Gaeshi Sweep from Butterfly
– Heel Hook from Backside 50/50 Set Up
– Application from Kesa Gatame

Big Thanks to Ed Stahl from @metrolinamartialarts for the uke skills!

Hope you like it!

Attacking Legs to Pass The Guard – Jiu-Jitsu Strategies

April 6, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Leg Lockers get criticism from Guard Passers, and Passers get criticism from Leg Lockers…but these criticisms typically just come from people who don’t train much anyway. Real practitioners recognize the value and necessity of learned all aspects, and it’s in that vein that I made this video discussing some concepts tying together attacking the legs

How to Finish the Heel Hook Even When Your Opponent Is Trying to Escape

March 30, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Countering heel hook escapes, from Cutting Edge Leglocks https://www.grapplearts.com/cutting-edge-leglocks. The 411 position (aka the saddle, the cross ashi, and the honey hole) with the inside heel hook is one of the most powerful leglock attacks in no gi grappling, but unfortunately, as it’s become more popular people are getting better at defending it. Here are 3 competition-proven ways to shut down that escape and finish your opponent no matter how he tries to squirm out of your submission!

0:00 – Counter Number 1, the Rolling Dig
07:05 – Counter Number 2, Inverting to Backside 50/50
11:56 – Counter Number 3, Connecting to the Hip

Pretzel-Bolo Back Take vs Heel Hook

March 14, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I don’t have a name I made up for this Back Take but Mr Andre Galvao called it Pretzelbolo in a video I saw so I’ve stuck with that name ever since.

In this sequence I teach the basics of the back take and the outside heel hook from saddle. Enjoy!

Aggressive Attack Options from K-Guard

March 9, 2023 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Sometimes mounting attacks from guard against a hyper-defensive or stalling opponent is difficult, especially in no-gi. Using the modifications and strategies in this video help for that reason. Some of the attacks you will see in this video are:

– Flower Sweep
– Straight Arm Bar
– Triangle Choke
– Omoplata & Omoplata Sweep
– Backside 50/50 Heel Hook
– Truck Entry & Calf Slicer
– Back Take Variation
