A Completely Legal White Belt Submission That You Should Not Neglect

May 22, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Leg Locks! The thing that most gyms slack on because they are scared of being injured.

Here is the thing:

Once you learn the correct way to apply the leglock which ways to turn and when to tap your chances of being injured go way down. Also let your training partner know if they were to rough on the submission. Sometimes they may not know. If you aren’t comfortable telling them than tell your instructor.

Anyways! As a white belt at any tournament the straight ankle lock is completely legal. Like I said in the video you don’t want to end up like my guy. It was my fault not educating him more. That was a lesson that will stick with me.

Even if you think someone won’t do it still prepare for it.

The Perfect Position to Finish a Fight and an Easy But Powerful Choke

May 17, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

There is a lot of debate in jiujitsu about what techniques are called and proper terminology. Here is my take.

It doesn’t matter…

As long as you can perform the technique and you know what it is and your students know what it is you can call it as you’d like.

Also some gyms may call something a different name so they can call it out in tournaments.

My new gym say #1 sweep and #2 sweep and so on. This was new to me and helped prove my point. I had no clue what they were talking about haha but everyone in their class did.

Shawn told them to partner up and do the #1 sweep and everyone started doing it without asking.

Some affiliations have made up different technique names for every position/submission so they can all be familiar with it.

Jiu-Jitsu has to many funky positions and submissions to name everything. Some of the Names do not even make sense. You will hear a positions like the inside ashi being called the honey hole.

Now some positions are universal like mount, Guard, side control, and others. But for the most part a lot of techniques have like 3 different names. Key lock, American, paintbrush.

When I teach I will try and let my students know all the different names it may be called after I have told them my naming for it.

If I don’t have a name for it than I will just say Choke, shoulderlock, sweep, position.

End rant…. I could go all day lol

What are your thoughts on this?

This Drill Will Save You From Getting a Catastrophic Knee Injury

May 8, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I want to start off by saying Banning jumping guard is a great rule to be in place for white belts.

Jumping guard. This technique can be great for a guard player and absolutely terrible for your opponent if they don’t know how to catch you properly.

That is why this Drill is so important and school sometimes forget to show their students. Even if it is illegal you should still be aware just in case. I see DQs happen all the time in tournaments due to people being unaware. This can cause a serious injury. Always be prepared for everything.

Now note this. I did not slam him to the mat for jumping guard. I simply jumped my legs back because I didn’t have time to catch him. There is a huge difference between putting force towards the mat and just going down with your opponent.

Passing the Half Guard with Pressure in BJJ

May 1, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The worst person to go against in jiujitsu is a grappler that can blend their passing. They can go high low be light and be heavy. It is extremely frustrating.

This pass has been working for me lately. I usually pass up high but I will mix in this pressure pass when I get slowed down.

Fire Up The Hips And Stretch The Hamstrings With This Warm-Up

April 25, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In this sequence, I go through a hip activating bridge sequence and then transitioning to a hip mobility and stretching portion.

This is unique to BJJ as these are movements that are both useful and seen frequently in jiu-jitsu but they are also positions that you may find yourself in during training.
Here is the list of techniques:

1. Double-Leg Bridge

2. Single-Leg Bridge

3. Single-Leg Bridge With Knee To Chest

4. Single-Leg Bridge With Opposite Hamstring Stretch

Should I Only learn From Someone My Same Height

April 25, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

A great question was asked to me the other day. This is my response.

I think it is great to learn from different people. Each person my teach you something that will fit into your game. Like I said in the video “one day I will teach a technique and it will work for ten people. The other people in class won’t like it” but someone else my show their variation of the move and those people lean more towards that technique. Which is fine. You use what works into your game. That’s the beauty of jiujitsu.

Not everything I learned came from one instructor. I did many privates/seminars/ even tournaments to learn different techniques. You can learn from any body style and make their technique work for your game. Most of the time my stuff came from experimenting with techniques shown in class and how I could use them to work for me.

Attacking With Your Opponents Lapel to Secure a Vicious Choke

April 24, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This Choke is super tight! I use to hate cross chokes. I could never hit them. In fact I gave them up for years because I thought they were useless.

Than I started using this variation. I couldn’t believe it I was hitting the choke. Not on scrubs but some high level guys. It’s all about securing that grip super tight and having your elbows right.

Now another one that I will do on top of this choke is sometimes I come up for a sweep with the cross grip. I will hang on to that grip and go right to my choke.

Both of those options have been working really well for me.

Did you know that you could submit someone only using one of your legs? With a little help getting there of course.

Submit Your Opponent Using Only One Leg

April 17, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Did you know that you could submit someone only using one of your legs? With a little help getting there of course.

This is a really cool submission that I will mix in with my top triangle. Sometimes you just can’t get the Arm straightened out to pin it. If it’s not straightened it’s easy to escape. So my next option is to take my bottom leg over the arm to get my finish.

You can also do this submission by getting into the old school judo kesa or headlock.

Mind Blowing Guard Pass to Use Against Flexible Guards

April 12, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

I love this pass! I use it against the really Gumby guard players like myself haha

now in order for this to work you need to expose the back. Than connect your chest on the back by connecting your hands and pulling down. It’s a little trick but effective.

So that is your goal at first. If you miss the back than you aim to get to some sort of a leg drag or mount. Using a butterfly hook may sometimes help this if you can’t our turn your opponent.

This Drill Will Up Your Arm Bar Game Quickly

April 8, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The arm bar is an amazing technique. But without prober drilling and learning to move your hips out you are sure to lose almost all of your arm bars.

This drill is critical. It will help you develop a much tighter and faster armbar. Give it a try!

What I Did to Improve When I First Started Jiu-Jitsu

April 4, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

The most asked question in jiujitsu is “How do I get better” “How do I improve”

Really it’s an easy question you show up consistently to class and you really dig into the techniques. But something that will take you a notch above is simply just asking questions.

So many grapplers miss out on key details simply because they are scared to ask. I was never this way because I had a drive. I wanted to win and I knew the only way that would happen is if I learn everything.

privates are also a great tool if you can afford them. One on one help and you get to ask as many questions as you’d like.

This Jiu-Jitsu Sweep is Beautiful and Looks Effortless (The table rule) | Chad “The Beast" Hardy

April 3, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

So I posted one of my matches on Instagram and I had a few people write me and ask to do a video on the sweep I hit.

You ask I deliver! This sweep is actually very easy to hit if you set it up right. And it looks so smooth. Basically you want to set the person up. After they pick you up in guard drop and try to catch their legs. If you catch them great you get the first sweep.

But most of the time the base will widen and if you have them leaning even a little bit you can launch them in the air. I hit this move on a heavyweight In the open. So it works on bigger guys as well.
