(Patreon Unlocked) Self Defense | Managing Initial Aggression

September 30, 2020 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

Self Defense training is far more than just a series of headlock escapes. This is where many schools fail their students by not giving them the training in the non-technique aspects of a conflict – the ones that actually teach any Self Defense, that is.

One of the other big fallacies in most Martial Arts Self Defense training is that fights start at full aggression.

There is often a build up of aggression and to be effective in staying safe, you need to know how to manage the aggression (both verbally and physically) while attempting to de-escalate it.

This means understanding ranges and how they must be managed, as well as angles (two of the four things I always teach to control in any conflict).

If you like my particular focus and style of teaching, you can get this kind of instruction almost daily for only $10/Month.

Escape the Switched Hands Side Control

October 14, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

It can be especially difficult to escape side control when your opponent switches their arm position. You’re also in constant danger of a kimura attack.

This effectively stops the re-guard – and if they’re keeping weight on you, you may not be able to turn over for the single leg escape.

Here, I show an option for when you’re trapped in this position. As with most reversals, it’s important that you practice your timing and getting the feel for when their weight is compromised.

The "Jesus Armlock"

August 27, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is one of my favourite armlock set ups from the Closed Guard.

For me, it’s much harder to escape or defend because I don’t open my legs as much and he can’t use his other arm to help protect his trapped arm.

Testing for Belt Promotions | Good or Bad?

July 13, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is a topic that comes up at some point in all BJJ Discussions.
Should there be tests as part of the Belt Promotion process?

I recently saw this topic brought up again in a forum and was debated with the usual arguments.

Here, I give my opinion which hopefully goes a little more in depth into the debate.

Master the Butterfly Sweep with these Crucial Concepts

July 11, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

In my experience, a lot of people don’t really focus on these critical details in trying to sweep their opponent from the butterfly guard.

Because of this they’re not doing the sweep as effectively as they could and are therefore forced to transition to other positions.

Here, I discuss what angles to attack (and why) as well as how to break posture and why.

Don't Get Flattened & Pinned Again!

July 9, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

This is from a seminar I did in 2017.

You can buy the instructional here: https://roymarsh.selz.com
You can also see a review of it here: https://www.graciejiujitsurocks.com/product-reviews.html

It was on one of the most difficult tasks people have in grappling which is avoiding being pinned and, if pinned, how to escape.

Here, I cover some basic but crucial concepts on shrimping that I think many people don’t learn or forget and that makes all the difference.

Understand this Extremely Important BJJ Concept!

July 3, 2019 by Gary Berger Leave a Comment

When you first start learning BJJ, you get overwhelmed with techniques but you rarely are taught conceptual frameworks in which to put those techniques.

That makes it very difficult to adapt when the situation is new to you. But, if you understand the concepts, then you can create a solution to the problem.
