4 stripe white belt here: thanks for showing the north south choke so well. I really liked that you showed the little details. I have never seen the shin breaker before, may be interesting to try tonight. The submission I like to play with in the gi is the loop choke, and in no gi, the Ezekiel, which I'll sometimes try from mount or north south, and sometimes threaten just to get a reaction or force someone to take it seriously while I am working to improve my position. Again, great video, thanks!
One thing I love about these- they teach good habits. The first 2 will encourage top control and better wrestling which is my biggest gripe with BJJ (how can you call yourself a combat sport when people just sit down)
Tutorial technique are sublime but your humility to develop good relationships and training trust appears to be the priority Greetings from New Zealand
The North South choke was one of the first subs I ever learned and as a 4-stripe blue it's still one of the subs I hit the most. The arm triangle is up there as well.
Thank you for the coaching! I will try some of these at my next mat session. The slow-mo is great- a lot of moves are difficult to demonstrate at not full speed so it’s nice to see the technique as executed at full speed but with the video rolling slow. I also appreciate when professors use phrases like “toward the shoulder you want to attack” it’s much more helpful to visualize than something like “right” or “left” or “the other side”. As a white belt I am particularly fond of straight ankle locks and wrist locks.
4 stripe white belt here, I use the half nelson choke, armbar, and bow and arrow all from technical mount. Haven't really seen too many other white belts playing around with attacks from technical mount, at least in my school! Great video, thanks for sharing and good luck with the new school!
Good info thanks. My son and I are white belts about 3 months in he's 7 and really good has his 1st tournament coming up at the beginning of next month trying to learn everything we can outside of class to give him the best chance
Wow! 😅 did MMA for 20 years, stopped 18 years ago, after having our first child. The advancement in BJJ is astounding. The white belts skills would have submitted me as a blue belt.
Blue Belt with a wrestling background here. I also favor the head and arm and north south chokes as well. I’ve been using them (or attempting to at any rate) since I got back into grappling a couple of years ago.
Currently a white belt. I’ve landed an armbar, guillotine, inverted armbar and rear naked choke so far. Currently finishing up my first month so I’ll be using some of these in my rolls. Thank you for your detailed explanation.
Thanks for this! As a white belt starting way late in life, I’m always looking for high reward low risk even just to have to threaten while I work on more advanced techniques. Great channel 👊
Excellent video, The level of detail and the slow motion really work well. I seem to remember working with you on the first two chokes!! I'm glad the school is doing so well!
Thank you, Ron! That means a lot coming from you. You’ve been a big part of my journey. Much of what I still use today was learned from you. I’m sure I’ll see you again soon at RGC. I’ve been coming back for classes when I can. And you’re always welcome to come check out Grindstone 🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips. (sub'd this channel) Just started training 2.5 months ago at 48yr old. The arm triangle has been working great. Kimora from gaurd and Ezekiel pretty well also. North south will definitely be added to the list.
Ah I’m sorry to hear that. You could always get a practice dummy and learn through online training while practicing at your house. It’s not as good, but it’s something.
I'm a purple belt and never seen that last one. Very interesting. I'll have to give it a shot! And yes, don't shy away from upper belts. Took me too long to learn that. If they are good you will learn so much! Also, if im struggling with something specific I just try it on a black belt I trust and see how they counter it. Best learning tool ever!
I’ll have to study more on the north/south choke as I couldn’t quite understand it. But I end up in cross body alot so it seems to be an easy transition to north/south but I need to study more details around it. I think I have the Kimura from bottom and the head and arm down fairly well. The shin lock I absolutely love it! Thanks for the vid!
3 stripe white belt as of yesterday, been using a lot of omaplatas and kimuras, although I train with a lot of big guys and higher belts so really focusing on positions. Zero gravity is fun, and working on a lot of wrestle ups too!
Reccomedation for your content esp if it's quantifiable. Timestamp your videos with each pointer or moveset, this actually helps a lot thanks for what you do mate.
Hey I'm a 2 stripe white belt. I've only done Gi so far and my favourite submission is the Gi version of the Ezekiel choke. You can get it from almost every position and white belts don't expect it.
As a white belt I actually prefer rolling with higher belts. 8/10 times it's a good experience, only had 2 partners who really rip their subs hard. Granted, one of those two guys was really good with answering my questions as soon as I asked him and sharing information, took a lot of time to teach me what he was doing and why; only wish he would've dialled the intensity down 10% so I could process the action better.
Just depends on the tournament you want to compete in. Always check the rule set to make sure. Unless your instructor has a problem with it, you should be able to practice it at your school
Keylock & Wrist lock all day The wrist lock aka the electric chair is highly overlooked. your opponent or training partner has two of them and they are always vulnerable
How did I just come across your channel today? Well explained, well demonstrated, well executed. Thank you coach. Subscribed. P.s. I went ahead and bought the same exact rashguard.
hey, these are really useful!! can you make a video on how to get good grips and use grips effectively. I'm a white belt and mostly do training with gi and i have a hard time getting grips. And also what type of workouts do bjj people have to do? like more cardio or weight training?
Happy to help! Yea I can make a video on grips. Also check out some of my other vids. I’ve done several on workouts for bjj. You can find me on the other social media platforms covering bjj workouts as well 🤙🏼
Quick question on the head and arm choke. Why don’t you just try to grab the near arm and neck rather then getting the far arm and then have to go to mount and then off to the other side? Just wondering I am sure there is a reason for it.
Good question. You could go for that way but it tends to more difficult to successfully get from the same side. Nothing wrong with trying it out in training and learning from the experience 🤙🏼
What I don’t understand about the north south choke is what are you using to apply the choke? Is it like a forearm choke? Or are you squeezing from both sides?
@@willbrooksofficial Charles jiu jitsu is great but not ADCC level, if he had that caliber of ji jitsu maybe he submits them off his back. IDK, but would be cool seeing Jiu jitsu fighters beating grapplers for once
I will definitely try those out. Recently got a 2nd stripe. My go to move is the high elbow guillotine. For some reason it works kind of decently for me, even catch a higher belt out with it some times. But can be put in a bad position if I am on my back and miss the guillotine lol.
It can be. Talk to your coach before you use it at your school. Also, always check rule sets when competing to make sure the moves you want to use aren’t illegal.
You don’t have to agree. It’s just a simple and effective submission that’s easy to hit which helps build confidence. Something all white belts definitely could use. At the end of the day, my way isn’t the ONLY way. I’m just showing what I’ve seen to work from my perspective. Having other perspectives on Jiu Jitsu (like yours) is one of the reasons there’s so much depth to it which is great 👍🏼
Sorry but at .58 I haven't got a clue what you are doing. The video shoots from one seemingly great left arm choke to releasing it. Yes i'm new to this but you totally lost me more than any other youtube channel has. Best wishes and good luck.
@@mediamayhemmoments my advice for you would be to have more patience with yourself. If you’re giving up on a technique when you don’t understand it shown in slow motion, you aren’t going to make it far. You have to be a bit more resilient than that. You said it yourself, you’re NEW so of course moves aren’t going to all make sense right away. Welcome to Jiu Jitsu. Patience and accepting the fact you won’t understand everything needs to be in place. I truly hope you find the mental toughness that helps you fight past feelings of frustration. No participation medals in this art. You EARN your knowledge here.
