Blue belt with my 1st striple here: I’ve used several of your techniques from your tutorials, I wanted to thank you for sharing this with us, I’ve improved A LOT since I started watching your channel🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I always tell my students to go to other side using north south since the arm of opponent could wait as you step and defend the mount. Once on the other side is harder for the opponent to telegraph, giving a better timing than them. Great content professor OSS!
From a wrestler inching my way through BJJ (work and studies have been kicking my ass though, whoops) It always frustrates me a little bit learning BJJ, where I vividly remember just watching a couple videos on wrestling fundamentals featuring Jordan Burroughs or Mr. Kolat and it very much transforming the quality of lessons Personally I really liked how wrestling (at least the coaches I had) had the attitude of "don't worry about anything else, be patient and focus hard on perfecting this as this is your base for literally everything" Got told about mount and tried to learn some stuff from it and it ended up being "hey yeah, you could do this, but also this and if you're extra flexible you can do this" I dislike the information overload, I can do that on my own time outside of practice for supplemental reading, I want a coach who will point me in a direction and help pace me in terms of learning That being said, this channel us excellent for that from the few shorts I've seen, so I'll definitely be saving these and focusing on them during rolls
Noticing that this comment was from 8 months ago. Hopefully you didn’t stop training BJJ because the wrestler with BJJ is a god damn problem! If I could go back in time, I’d get REALLY good at 2 takedowns, 2 guard passes, 2 sweeps, 2 subs from each position, and 2 back takes. I wouldn’t try the new cool think and constantly try to surprise people that I was training with. Rice and Beans. Like wrestling, if your double leg is nasty, that’s your go to takedown. If you ride legs, that’s how you punish on top. No need to make jiu jitsu any more difficult than it has to be. There’s a crazy amount of techniques and submissions. Learning new stuff is cool, but drilling your A game is what’s gonna get you to be the hammer, more often than not.
@@matthewbessette8804 Aye! I definitely appreciate the advice Unfortunately due to financial reasons I had to eke out of BJJ, but I'm really hoping to at least get another month in before I swear in and ship out
This is gold advice. I think most coaches don't teach transitioning to mount this way because of the risk of injury if people don't do it with control.
Love these shorts been seeing them on a few channels. Straight to the point, explanation, demonstration and you can just watch on repeat to get all the steps
BJJ guys really should drill "Around the world" more as we call it in Judo. The whole game of moving from pin to pin, maintaining pressure while the person under gives some resistance. We do it out of necessity because the rules allow us to win just from pinning, but it's an important skill to practice nonetheless. This move from Ushiro Kesa Gatame to Tate Shiho Gatame was among the first things I was taught in Judo Newaza.
Lmao, only ever heard about one other person with the same name locally. loving the content bro, i watch your shorts daily. Keep up the awesome work! @@MalachyFriedmanBJJ
easy leg lock every-time from bottom, your right hand grab his shoulder and pull him back to your top right quadrant, there is no base there so he will lean forward to counter the force, hip bump hard into him so he falls face first and he will base with his hand and have no pressure with his hips, enter your choice of leg entanglement 100% of the time.
There was a technique I learned that was super hard for even purple belts to stop, but I don't 100% know to describe it. You would pop the kneed by the hip up onto the hip, but you wouldn't pitch forward. If they scoot then fine, but if not you would essentially just rotate over really quickly with your leg tucked so that they really can't catch you. If done right and fast you are in mount before they can stop it. Really awkward to explain honestly...
bro this is a top notch move, i am white belt and ve been sparring with white-blue and purple and at least for this level it does the trick. Its simple yet effective. I am waiting till some higher belt somehow chokes me when i try this
My favorite thing to do on bottom is to grab a leg when they try mount. Forces your opponent to expend way to much energy to get out for a simple move. :)
Yep, half guard is dangerous when you can get the under hook. Even if I can’t it’s better than being mounted. you can give yourself some chances you wouldn’t have under the mount.
I've always done something similar by grabbing their knees and holding them down to the mat before stepping over; essentially controlling the legs. We weren't explicitly taught this as white belts, but I just sort of figured it out at open mat eventually.
Its also a great to start an arm attack from that position before heading for mount. If you can secure a kimura or americana grip, awesome, you can even finish from side control. Depending on how the defend, taking mount can be really easy, or even taking a technical mount into a back take if they turn away heavily to defend their arm.
The knee cut first one works perfectly fine when you apply effective cross face. When you have no cross face it doesn't work. The caveat to reverse kesa is it's timing. An experience and mobile grappler can reverse you as you sit into reverse kesa. It's a pretty easy backwards roll. You have no base as you're going into reverse kesa, so pretty easy to time a reversal
Internet is invaluable for learning. I started watching YT videos (even shitty ones) and just tried what they said in my gym a few times. Went from blue to purple in 6 weeks.
@@bentoomet8805Are you saying someone gave you a blue belt, and then that same person gave you a purple belt less than 2 months later? If so, some thing seems really really off here.
@@l.k.9666 no, and nothing in my comment ever even implied that. I said I went from blue to purple in 6 weeks after locking in and finding new techniques. I never once said how long I was a blue belt.
u should back ur hips up into the armpit and give yourself more space to move to Mount? u can also grab your own foot and thread it thru so there's no risk of getting put back into guard
