Oddly I’ve encountered quite a few high level practitioners that are completely averse to inverting. I find this to be antithetical to what the mindset of a true martial artist should be. These same types often are bias in favor of the gi, some even refusing to enter the world of no gi at all. One of these people is my original professor whom happens to be a 4th degree black belt. Now I only train at his place 25% of the year, I didn’t want to get left behind while grappling continued to progress and advance. My promotions are still technically done under my original professor. So far it hasn’t been an issue, by my estimation my belt fairly accurately reflects my skill and experience level so I haven’t seen a reason to change all together but I feel as though one day I won’t have a choice all based around the attitude of him and some others in the class about newer techniques.
Professor Glick taught me how to do a triangle for the first time as a white belt, in Cobble Hill. I got imprinted in my head. It might be my highest percentage submission to this day as a purple belt.
Brian, This is Muzzimal what are some solo exercises to build up the muscle coordination for floating passes, and the connection to the technique. I covered a brief floating pass series but it was not detailed and I am having trouble conceptualizing technique...... Series
One detail that may help keep a stronger gift wrap would be the grip on his wrist. Brian was doing an overhand grip (aka monkey grip/kimura grip). But with that type of grip the opponent can often roll their wrist out of the grip. It can be easier to keep the grip with the thumb around (aka C-grip). What do you guys think of this? Is Brian using the monkey grip here for a specific reason or maybe it doesn't matter that much to him?
Is Canto choke variation a valid thing for the four point situation? Seems like a favourable opportunity for building that up and I think I've seen a variation by Canto where you don't have to be very concerned about getting the other guy down safely.
This has literally happened to me a surprise attack someone tried to suplex me from behind the second my feet began to leave the ground I dropped my center of gravity into my hips got my feet back down took a few steps forward trying to break his grip and there was no chance I was gonna break his grip no matter what I did and you will never break someone’s grip who gets a jump on you like that. I arched my back while pushing down on his hands and used creating space to make him pick his head up off my back and when he tried to put it back on my back I twisted so he missed just enough so I could lift my right arm and as his head slid to my side cuz he was trying to stay close I got his neck with my arm, so his spine was in my armpit and my bicep and forearm were constricting his neck arteries. I then grabbed my left wrist with my right hand while still holding his right arm with my left hand and slowly choked him until he tapped out. He was a drunk buddy at a party but he was a wrestler and I wish I knew what that choke would be called cuz it’s not a face lock I mean you have someone neck while they’re behind you lol
Wow brian you are an excellent teacher. From the way i learn atleast, it is harder for me watching videos on techniques, but you have this great way of explaining and displaying the movements to where, again me personally, am able to grasp. I'm sure that speaks for a lot of people and not just me. Kudos🎉❤
In practice the same. We call it ashi garami because it's not strictly a guard - and single leg. X makes it sound as if it functions like a guard in the way that X guard does 👍🏼
Head down into their hip in kameshiho or hip-to-hip in yokoshiho. If they manage to get their leg up, move through the legs to side control on the other side. If they manage to invert, either try again to dive forehead/shoulder to their hip, clearing their feet from your hips by twisting; or keep your feet clear of their shoulders, return to their standard open guard, and smash pass, getting a good chest to belly connection to stop them from inverting (be ready for them sitting up as a follow up to this); or crab ride/ berimbolo to back control.
I noticed that if they base out with their legs more to the other side they won’t let you roll to get into position, if you have the other arm you can just pulled them back by going backwards roll instead of forward
Thanks loving the throwby. One question, is it legal in gi judo? Or at least in randori, won’t by partners/coach get upset if I try this? Specifically I mean the throwby to get to their back, without the knee pick. And then go for ura nage/tani otoshi or just engage in newaza if they fall
Amazing instruction, I haven’t seen a lot of good defensive content on this position and it’s become very prevalent in high level competition, also right on time as I was just getting anklelocked in this position a few hours ago training 😂
