I feel like targeting the diaphragm is something that isn't talked about to beginners as much as it should be. Easy way to turn a position into a constant, passive attack. So crucial with s-mount, body triangles and all forms of scarf hold
@@whodis5444It s so true, as White belt that Just started, my First target was to NOT tap Just for the pressure, but It s very hard, especially with advanced belts. One of the First lessons the master made a side xontrol on me and i litterally so the stars around my head, It killed me
In side control, while a 45 degree angle might provide the most pressure, keeping your hips (center of gravity) low and being on your toes will add almost as much pressure while making you much harder to sweep
This channel is one of those gold mines that most martial artists are missing. So when you find a treasure like this video you feel like you got the edge on your competition.
I've been really making a deep dive on the over/under guard pass lately and it's been incredible just how effective it has been for me, even as a skinny guy.
YES! I’m not going to tell you about Invincible Jiu-Jitsu , No I’m going to discuss the formula! Guys I love every video y’all put out! Thank you so much.. I’m a white belt and I swear if I hear that one more time! There has to be a way to do everything correctly. I know on RU-vid you see techniques but so many details are left out sometimes. There is a formula for everything! Thank you!
👍🥇👍 Excellent job man im dyslexic and i learned these concepts through time on the mats and feeling of understanding body control and using the same concept from real judo from understanding you need to throw your opponent through the floor. Very good explanation 10/10👍
So I've watched this video like 20 times, and recently I've started thinking about "pressure" in not just a physical way, but in the way that forcing your opponent to respond to your actions, rather than the other way around, is also "pressure", but in a psychological way. I almost never hear people discuss this, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the great videos!
Well in these videos I am purely looking at the terms in regards to physics rather than strategy. I usually just refer to it like the Danaher guys do as using offensive cycles to keep your opponents in defensive cycles. Within this cycle we look to create dilemmas where we force our opponent's to make choices we can take advantage of immediately.
Wow dude. This is exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely loved the video. Please keep it up. I’m very into these types of videos. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Olá RVV BJJ, sou professor na equipe da Alliance na cidade de Jaboticabal no Brasil e quando vou ensinar conceitos de pressão eu também ensino os conceitos de pontos sensíveis a pressão no corpo humano, para uma melhor compreensão deste conceito você pode estudar algumas ideias da acupuntura e mesclar estes dois conceitos e outros mais também.
I'm curious how to combat this type of pressure. I recently rolled with someone who was able to pressure through my guard. I wasn't sure what to do at all. The pressure was immense.
Great stuff! I always learn a lot from your video. Thanks again for great video here almost useful as the videos I buy on BJJ fanatics. (I feel sorry for the happening between you and BJJfanatics.) 4:53 There will be even more pressure when you walk into your partner cause that's the posture you naturally can reduce the surface and walk into him. Great video again, thanks always!
Great question! I will answer this as a BJJ guy, not a physics expert so take this for what it is. The pressure we can create as a top player is significant because we get to use the mass of our body, as well as gravity to our advantage. Further to this we can pin our opponent into that mat that prevents them from moving, and creates a reactive force of the floor pushing back into us. This to me is the main factor that causes a compressive force that we can use to crush our opponent. Can pressure be applied from bottom? Yes, but it looks very different. We can apply pressure in different directions, or with tools like submissions, but the typical push/pull (forward/backwards) directional application of force applied in other ways. We need to understand that our opponent can back way from us to relieve pressure unless we block them from retreating. Let me use 3 examples of different ways I consider pressure being used. 1) Defensively as I use my opponents force against them. Imagine in bottom closed guard you place you fist in your opponent's throat, or grip the collar of their gi to drive your knuckles into their collar bone/shoulder. If they drive into you they are generating force into you, but by you choosing to use the hard small knuckles of your fist. You are minimizing the surface area of your frame to maximize the pressure applied to a softer my vulnerable part of your opponent's body. This should be uncomfortable and make your opponent stop driving forward. If you used the entire palm of your hand then the pressure would be reduced due to a larger surface area (softer too) and your opponent would be more comfortable to continue driving forward into your frame. Same if you applied your fist to 2) Now if I wanted to increase this pressure by increasing the force being applied I would grab the back of my opponent's head with one hand as I drove my fist into their throat from bottom closed guard. Now my opponent cannot just back away from me by their choosing, they have to hand fight and break the control I have. Same thing applied with a cross choke from closed guard. As I apply pressure with my forearms to my opponent's neck, my opponent's gi creates the backstop that prevents them from retreating. They have to react to it or submit. 3) We can also apply pressure side to side directions. If from closed guard I squeeze my legs around my opponent's ribs I can constrict and apply pressure around my opponent. Same with a body triangle from back control. I can squeeze my opponent and make it more difficult for them to breathe effectively as I have used the pressure to restrict their upper body. While powerful, the last two options aren't efficient. Because we cannot use our body weight, we have to use muscles to do most of the work. So be careful to not burn yourself out! Hope this makes sense, I'm sure there may be other examples, but this I what I could think of in the moment! Cheers.
@@RVVBJJ Hey Rory I forgot to reply when I saw your answer all those months ago but I'm back here watching the video today so I just wanted to give a big thanks for these videos and taking the time to give in-depth replies. Thanks
This is a great lesson! I have an unrelated question. I joined the BJJ Concepts site hosted by you and Professor Rob. It is great! I was wondering about work in front headlock with Gi (when I get the position). I have more trouble getting chokes there against bigger guys (e.g. guillotine or anaconda) and they often do a great job against standard loops and clock stuff. Is there as specific section of the website that dives into those attacks - particularly with Gi? I know the no Gi versions, etc., but I could not find it with a more Gi centric focus. I would appreciate guidance or your thoughts. I often have to go to the side of my partner and try to take the back, but with good/fast people, they often beat me to guard. Is it harder to get the Gi based version of the front headlock series of chokes or is it an application error by me? If so, any thoughts on how to adapt? Thank you!!
We see less guillotines, and rear naked chokes in the gi because the clothing gets in the way. It's still absolutely possible, but we just have to be mindful to avoid the collar as much as possible. We have a section on completing gi chokes, but the guillotine series does not change. This problem in your development is normal, and finishing bottom position chokes on bigger opponents is also a greater challenge. If you are successfully transitioning to the back or completing sweeps then you're doing great and you'll get there!
I rolled my coach and his mount pressure is so good I wanted to tap I could move and I felt like tapping to it the whole roll. I wanted to throw up for and hour afterwards I am 290 5 11 he is 205 5 7 he might even weigh less than 205. Feels like he weights 400 pounds
The edge or outline of the body is best at creating force or reducing force if you're on bottom. The flat part of the body is better at receiving force such as bottom front or rear mount. This also explains why guys in jiu jitsu are often times pinning themselves because they don't understand the shape of their whole body matters not just some technique they are trying to do.
