Two Random Lessons From My Half Guard Trickery Course

June 18, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

One of the things I enjoy the most is finding ways to punish opponents for their logical responses to threats. In those moments when they think they’ve successfully defending an attack, there are opportunities, and these two are ones that I use when they base out to stop the far leg kneetap in underhook half guard.

Stopping Stiff Arms

April 15, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In a recent video. I discussed various awesome techniques to stop your training partners passing your guard. Each one of them works incredibly well. One of those was using ‘stiff arms’ – this means locking your arms out so that it is ‘structure’ not ‘muscle’ that is holding back your opponent. Believe me – it’s massively powerful. Ok, but like everything in Jiu-Jitsu – there are counters, and counters to your counters. And so it is with this move. Now if your training partner has watched my ‘guard retention’ series. You will need to watch this to the end. I know you guys will love it. Give it a try on the mat guys and let me know how you go..

Details, Details, and More Details on a Common Overhook Transition in Closed Guard

March 30, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

More than two years ago, I attended a seminar taught by Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães, and there was one thing that he showed that blew my mind.

It wasn’t some complicated or intricate technique either.

Nope.

It was just a small alteration to a transition that I learned when I was a white belt. I had to ask about it, and that one small thing was more than worth the investment.

Being Positive In BJJ

March 13, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Such an important aspect of a sport that really tests your sense of self. It really is a sport where you can be on top of the world one night and just right back at the bottom the next. And what is one of the most important factors that you should bring to the fore during the down times? – being positive! Think about getting tapped all evening by jnr belts? Well, what’s positive about that? maybe, you were pushed cardiovascularly…then you will have improved your endurance. Maybe they have helped expose some weaknesses in your game right? and your down night is someone else’s up! That’s the way it goes in Jiu Jitsu._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Counter That Kimura!

March 7, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The Kimura is a great attack and I’ve got many videos showing many different ways to grab them. But in this video, I take you over how to counter a Kimura attempt when you are not within your opponent’s guard but when you are in a more dominant position – side control. It happens often particularly when you are up against a Kimura guy or gal – they just see Kimuras from every angle. But with this neat little counter. You will be in great shape. Check out the video guys and as usual, give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Cradle Attack Series – One Arm Anaconda!

March 1, 2018 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Now for part 3 of my cradle attack series and I have saved one of my favourites until the last. This is a really neat little submission and I found it difficult to find the origin of the name. It’s kinda like a one arm Anaconda. But with a squish at the end? Anyway, whatever it’s called, it works. And I really enjoy this. It is surprisingly strong and I think can catch many people off guard because of its inherent strength. Check out this video guys and give this a try on the mat and let me know how you go…
