Answering the question from my friend and instructor at RCBJJ LAS VEGAS . Armba

One of my favorite positions in BJJ is the Belly Down Back Mount.

To me, I think it’s easily one of the worst if not THE WORST position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

From a fight that involves punches, it’s incredibly nasty as the person on bottom has no reasonable way to defend themselves.

For Brazilian Jiujitsu it can be equally soul crushing as the person on top can drive their full weight into the back and easily snag the rear naked choke.

In this video I show how to get to the Belly Down Back Mount from other forms of Back Mount when the person defends the rear naked choke.

I also throw in some simple adjustments for getting the submission with the rear naked choke.

I’ve used these adjustment countless times in BJJ rolling and competition to get the victory.

I hope it helps you!

Controlling an opponent with a wrist ride leads to further control of your opponent with other rides that set him up for a submission technique or pin. Coaching by Steve Scott.

Fighting from the bottom takes skill and in this video Derrick Darling shows some skills to make space and create openings for both offense and defense.

When you first start BJJ training, it can be overwhelming. There is so much going on and it’s confusing about where to start.

I experienced this issue when I began training. And it is a question one of my new White Belts named Taylor had a question about.

His question was essentially asking what to focus on as a new BJJ White Belt.

So in this video, I share several tips about how I personally went about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as a brand new White Belt with little to no submissions in my useable technique arsenal.

I share some tips for people who are more comfortable on the bottom playing form Full Guard and I share some options for people who are more comfortable playing from the top positions.

The general idea in this video is that if you’re new to Brazilian Jiujitsu. Your goal should be to just be able to control position as best you can and survive initially.

If you can control the basic positions (holding full guard, maintaining top position, etc) then overtime you’ll find that you’ll be able to mount some sort of offense attacks afterwards.

But in the beginning, if you don’t have the ability to maintain positions properly. You’ll be hard pressed to mount any submission attacks or offense techniques.

So for all the newcomers to BJJ, I hope this video is useful to you!

Have you ever done a BJJ private lesson? How did you go about it? Did you ask the coach to solve a particular problem you were having or help you work towards a new position, or did you let them just show you whatever they wanted to show you?

This is kind of the question I received from Casey recently. He is a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu purple belt. And along wanting to travel more for BJJ. He’s also planning on getting a bunch of private lessons from various Brazilian Jiujitsu coaches.

He is hoping to expose himself to as many new BJJ techniques and information as possible.

His main questions were,
1. How do I approach a BJJ coach about a private lesson, what’s the proper etiquette?

2. What is the best approach with doing a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu private lesson, should I ask them to just show me something or should I come in with an agenda?

This is obviously relative to everyone. But I share my biggest advice with private lessons in Jiujitsu and come from the point of view of a BJJ instructor.

Hope this video is helpful!

Jose commented on a recent video asking about a Butterfly Sweep to Rolling Back Take combo that was in the video.

So while I was working on videos for my new White Belt series. I wanted to answer his question.

I’ve placed chunks of the BJJ class where Adam and I were rolling. In the video I countered his reverse Half Guard position and switched it into a Butterfly Sweep. I attempted to sweep him to one side, it failed so I came back up to a square position. Then I switched the Butterfly sweep to the other side.

Right after the sweep he shot into a Deep Half Guard. I countered this by keeping my hips back which caused us to land in a Quarter Mount position.

From there I did a very simple rolling back take. Literally, it’s a glorified front roll. So if you try this move. Don’t over think it.

When you watch these techniques being used. It seems that it’s some sort of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu combo that I have because they flow together smoothly.

But it isn’t! What happens often during Brazilian Jiujitsu is that you do moves based on the circumstances. Your opponent does this, so you do this. That kind of thing.

This is just a situation where I’ve done the Ghost Sweep (as I call it) countless times as well as the forward roll to the back. The moves connected together without any sort of grand design. I didn’t plan on taking the back when I initiated the sweep.

Lastly, in the video I share a few quick details on attacking the rear naked choke right off the back. Instead of just getting to back mount and holding. I really like coming in for the finish right off the bat.

Thanks for the question Jose! And I hope the video is useful to any of you playing from the Butterfly Guard or if you get caught in the Quarter Mount / Quarter Guard position.

An excerpt from The Modern Leglock Formula (http://www.grapplearts.com/leglocks) about one great way to get to the most powerful leglocking position! The starting position in this video – known as “Ashi Garami” – is relatively easy to get to but also relatively easy to escape. In this sequence Rob Biernacki shows you how to move from the Ashi Garami to the “411 Position”, which is the most powerful, hardest to escape position in all of leg locking.
