Lets Talk Jiu Jitsu
- Thread starter nasty
- Start date
Mmmmmm more old man game. I enjoy wrist locks. Mainly because I've as bad at finishing triangles. But with that arm right there attacking it while going for the triangle made me land more triangles. Coach said triangles take their toll on the knees so a just the lock over the shoulders to breaks wrists and elbow clowns in the face
The game in this video.
I've always gone after kimura/arm bar in triangles and locked the triangle on when they played defense on those subs
wrist locks tho. i expect better @Mowgli
When trying to get the arm in position sometimes it can get stuck on the center line of your body for a variety of reasons.
This is when I just put their arm in a flex position and bend their wrist toward them pulling down and bringing hips up

Watching some videos and came cross the "Von Flue Choke". Its possible that some of those times I thoughts folks were tapping to pressure/cardio I actually had a version of the VFC going on:
Makes sense too, when I would tell my boy that I was getting submissions from the Arm Triangle choke w/o getting the arm trapped. Ill pay more attention to where Im placing my shoulder know that I know this is an actual submission.
Good choke for the street
Which one is you
I was glancing in and out with no audio but.....
Don't let that white belt coach you through an ass whooping.
Remember and talk about the failures after the roll. Then put yourself back in that position and get out
I can't stand roll coaches.
I'll watch more later and try to give some tips

New channel w/ a different video, but from the same night.
Not sure if ur playing open guard in the beginning but you shoulda closed that up and started working on breaking posture. Pull forward open legs close guard break posture. Break that damn wrist get it off your body and across your body. U seem like ud be good with arm drags
Even after you started to get past you shouldn't have let go of the opponents sleeves. The arm you let go of to recover from the failed armbar/triangle eventually went across your body. If yoi was still holding the sleeve you could have pressed that wrist to the floor by the sleeve and hipped out to replace the guard or transition into a triangle
In side control try and get your leg closest to the opponents head under his armpit and close to his face. It will push the arm up in the air making it attackable. You should establish the pin before you try to win. For those arm lock attempts
Your mount needs to be a lil faster
After mounting u need a more aggressive grape vine. Do not underestimate the grape vine it puts alot of pressure on the opponent and can make people quit mentally.
If u don't like grapevining establish the high mount. After establishing control a low control take a low posture, Put both your hands on the top of your opponents head and scooot yourself all the way up under his armpits and squeeze while squeezing your legs together until control is established. If you get it good the arms will be trapped giving you finishing options. When He was talking about I'm good in mounnt with his elbows in the typical defensive position, that's a good time to attack in that way. Mount should be Game Over! Work on your control from there because you want to end fights from the side or mount. Jist work the control
Consider using a seatbelt or wrist control when attacking turtle position. Don't wanna get to advanced with the what ifs but try and get to the back or get them to have a less wide turtle base for a sweep to the side
For example if go to the side facing their Ribs I'll bring one arm under their chin for a cross face and cup behind their elbow and bicep pulling it tight toward me. Simultaneously I'll reach under their foot with my other arm and grab the back of the ankle on their far leg. I then put my chest on their side and drove my weight forward while pulling the leg and arm backwards. Hold the gi at the elbow and maintainc as they tip over and drive knee under armpit to take side control.
In half guard guard you got swept because you lowered your posture to control the head allowing him to get underhooks and control your base. You had a mount I dunno why u transition to side control. Probably not feeling confident in the control
- instead. From that position. Fish your strong hand under their armpit and cup around their shoulder, with the other arm, arm wrap their arm high as you can and make sure they are nice and flat. U can easily kneee slide out of half guard for side control or other transitions of your choice.
When scrambling to feet u can catch your opponents off guard by grabbing their opposite ankle with your strong arm while pushing their shoulder back with the same side arm
At the least maintain grips grips grips. At the LEAST YOU NEED TWO GRIPS AT ALL TIMES AND IDEALLY YOU WANT 4 PARTS OF YOUR BODY ON YOUR OPPONENT FOR CONTROL. THE LESS GRIPS THE MORE MOVEMENT YOUR OPPONENT CAN EXERT
This lack of control is why your opponent guard got ran through. U were pushing against force instead of contrilling the means that he used to pass you. Another reason your open guard for passed is because you let your opponent cut the angle on you. You needed to be squared up but you reacted late and didn't have any grip control to recover. You established a frame but didn't hip out to recover a position
He took your back you rolled all the way to your stomach when you could have pushed the knee with two hands and did a big hip escape. (Prolly tired I get it )
Good scramble against the arm bar.
Good roll overall. Lotta heart and Go. Good tap. When your conditioning gets better ull be a problem.. I love when u big ass dudes don't realize ur full potential

Thanks for the reply. I scanned thru, but Imma def go back and read again.
Yea, this was me wanting to play off my back some. Im rarely forced to my back unless Im going against a higher ranked belt, so I go to my back from T2T for practice.
Im really trying to get out of the habit of establishing side control, and controlling an opponent to eventually getting an fairly easy/quick Sub. <<<I swear thats my mindset every time, but when my competitive nature kicks in, I pretty much always go with what Im good at to get the Sub.
Same thing with my mount game. <<<<<My boy from work thinks Im crazy for not going to mount when I get the chance (which is very often). Im just so much more comfortable in SC. But, I know I need a more well rounded game, so I go to mount from T2T.
Never heard of grapevining, so I will def check that video out.
And thats another habit I need to break. Like I dont mind folks getting my back. Normally, Ill rest there while theyll work for a Sub, and they tired out, I can reverse, get into SC and get a Sub. Black and Brown Belts usually go to the Bow and Arrow choke (and a decent amount of time I can fight that off too *from the browns, not the blacks*)
Thanks again. Im trying to find some other vids.

Grapevine is like flattening someone out but on top
With your size I promise you it will break peoples wills if you can use it right
If ur conditioning isn't good u can get ended from grapevine. My coach isn't as big as u and it's brutal when he does it. Hard to start escaping if you can't engage your knees and hips
It's good when to use against squirrly cats that like to do all that acrobatic shyt. Like sit, daaaaown with alll that. Just park them in ace while you look for Ezekiels and or secure and arm
Don't sleep
