Yes, I've caught myself being "lazy" and just flopping around with the hip bumps instead of having a purpose. One guy in my gym said that those "hip bumps require a lot of energy" so yes make sure you aren't just flopping just to flop, but have a purpose and plan. Such as "grips and frame first" as we learned in this one! Thanks!
Gracias chew... We white belts appreciate all these fundamentals. I'm surviving on the mat because of your work on RUclips. Keeping posting them vids bro. Ernesto, from Los Angeles.
Yo i've been watching your videos a lot lately, even though I don't practice BJJ, I am a Karate Practitioner, even though our styles differ, your information helps me a lot, Thank you man keep it up!
Hey Chewy, Sean here, I appreciate you taking the time to watch me flop around, and this will help for sure. You're right that I'm not necessarily getting a proper frame in place before I attempt that bridge and escape Let me talk real quick about about taking this guy's back when he has my head wrapped up - my coach tells me the exact same thing all the time (and frequently yells at my buddy here for exposing himself). I know the back take is there, and I'm confident in executing as you demonstrated against most other opponents, but I just can't shake this guy's head squeeze. It's probably a matter of me not putting enough determination in to freeing my head, but I see classmates and opponents in competition that are his size or larger struggling with this exact same thing...he wants us to unlock our guard and attempt this, because he doubles down on the headlock and pressure, then uses the opportunity to pass. Unfortunately I've gotten wary of this and don't attempt the back take anymore...though the knee shield didn't work out too well for me either if you watched the remainder of that section :p That said, however, hooking with my outside leg, shifting out, and coming up to my knee is not something I've attempted, so I'll def be giving that a try. Thanks again for help.
Sean Gallagher When he is in a position that he normally grabs and headlocks you, that's when you want to tuck your chin, and start making a head lock frame. ie, elbows tight and hands come together (one hand on opposite wrist) to protect yourself neck,head,hands etc. You can usually defend pressure top players by building frames. Ill link a framing JJ video if a find a good one.
Sean Gallagher on taking the back: an additional option is that you can push his bum with your knee in the halfguard when you have the underhook to make him base his hand then you can free your head to take the other knee out and then proceed to take the back.
Chewjitsu Excuse me can you please check out this video called "Kash teacher beats student"its from 2009 and if I did bjj and if it was me I wouldn't let the teacher get the chance to put the kesa gatame on and they were both struggling in the video and the part with them holding hands is a question I want to ask about.
great tips dude. iḿ 130 pounds... in one of my classes the most guys are more than 50 pounds heavier than me. some guys more than 80 pounds! so this techniques are very very helpful. thanks dude.
Chewy, another cool option (at 4:37). Instead of throwing your legs up and going for the "power move," there's another (kinda slower) option. You can shift your hips/legs to the left (just pick both feet up and set them down about a foot or even less further to the left), which then slides him a bit further off your right side. Basically, it moves more of his upper torso off you and onto the mat. Then, reach out with your left arm and base to get to an elbow, and then with your right arm, stiff arm him (more to your left and over you) to reverse.
If you're in halfguard and get that underhook and outside foot over their calf, you have so many options to score. Sweeps/reversals, back takes, really anything you want to do with position. It's not a great position to sub from but man if you can get that you can turn the whole match around.
Chewjitsu, I've been training for nearly a year now and have competed in a tournament. as the school year is ending I'm traveling to Windsor Ontario for the summer and want to continue training, the problem is that I cannot find any bjj schools in the area. any advice?
"When you go, you go 100%." This might be one of the most important things for me to remember. Thank you, Toothy.
The issue is white belts are always going.
