Advanced way to set up the Arm Triangle from Closed Guard!!
Переглядів 15521 день тому
The first submission I ever learned was the Arm Triangle from Mount... I have spent many years seeing this sub from everywhere - Mount, Side Control, Back Mount, and of course...Closed Guard! I love this sub and have found that over the years the way I have learned to enter into it this submission seems a little different. But it works!!! Try it out!! Enjoy!!!
Make your opponent suffer with this Gift Wrap set up and sweep!
Переглядів 18121 день тому
I show a fundamental grip break when the top player grabs onto your belt - and this leads to set up the Gift Wrap! From there I show how to really control their arms and get the sweep. You can come up into Mount but I like landing in Side Control, updating my control over their second arm, and then progressing to Mount. This is really awful for your opponent lol. Enjoy!

If you opponent back steps away from your De La Riva Guard, it gives you back exposure! A great way to capitalize on this is the deep De La Riva hook to set up your crab ride to the Back Mount finish. Check on the details in this video where I show how keeping a cross sleeve grip throughout will be so helpful to get that back mount!! Enoy!

Sweep them from a combat base using this De La Riva set up!!
Переглядів 657Місяць тому
When your opponent is kneeling or in a combat base, its hard to off balance them or set up a guard because they are so tight and have a strong base. In this video I go over a basic grip set up using the De La Riva hook to off balance them, and then an advanced sweep to the Mount position that works super well. Try it out!!

Great explanation, very simple. Thanks, dude!
Thanks man!!! Appreciate that 👊
Definitely gonna use this! Would love a vid going through how to pass the guard once you’ve broken it from this scenario particularly :)
Awesome!! And I can do that 👊
Habe you considered the possibility of kani basani as a counter to that takedown? How would you counter that counter?
That takedown, the 'scissor leg takedown' so to speak, is not only a takedown on its own but a counter to any single leg entry... However... once you get your opponents leg up - where the knee and ankle are higher than the hip - it would be super hard for your opponent to be able to elevate and rotate for the Kani Basani entry. So can it be a counter? Sure! Especially in the early stages in any single leg entry... but the high finish is a solid way to negate that response!!!! Thanks 🤗🤗🤗
Also, depending on your level/rank, that takedown is illegal in a lot of competition leagues. 👊
Fight hard. Be Kind 👊
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!!!!
I love this. I have been focussing on collar sleeve from closed guard lately. Has felt really natural. Now I have a blan B for when scissoring fails 😅
Excellent!!! Best of luck with it👊
@ I just discovered your channel. I really love how concise and clear these videos are. Really fantastic jumping off point. I watch a few on my way to class to inspire trying a new move I haven’t seen/worked on in a while! Oss and Sub
Man that's amazing!!! I hope this stuff helps!!! Go smash everybody 😉
Strong sweep to submission 💪 Oss👊
🙏 Thank you for watching!!!
Fantastic detail, too, at the end. I have been in that situation! Thank you.
Glad to hear it! I've been in that situation plenty of times myself lolololol. 🤗🤗🤗
I really like this sweep. The gift wrap really eliminates that post. Thank you.
Awesome!!! I landed this Sweep twice in rounds tonight 😁😁😁 Enjoy it!!!!
Great for the Holidays!
😁😁😁 Hahahaha
🔥🔥🔥👊
Thanks!!!
I see a "combos from everywhere"series in the future!
Haha. Done. I'm on it 😆
Incredible content. This channel is going to be huge in no time
I hope so...I'm trying! Thx for the support 😁
Love these chained attacks! Thank you!
Awesome!!! Thank YOU!!!
High collar grip 🔥🔥👊
Taking the time to get that grip makes everything else easier 👊
Been trying to work on my RDLR and this is very helpful. The detail of not pushing away with the other leg but trying to get underneath is something I've been doing wrong.
Awesome to hear that! Yeah, if you're playing the reverse DLR you need to be under them, often inverting. Regular DLR you can be in front... 😁😁😁
Lovely stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
You may have saved me from the blue belts tomorrow.
Good!!! Smash them for me 😉
I'm gonna do an updated video on this topic this week. Thanks!!!!
Great details, smooth transition to the back 👊
😁😁😉 Thank you!!!
Thanks for the vid! Would love more stuff about Reverse DLR and your thoughts on when to use it, strengths and weaknesses, and some simple sweeps. Also: congrats on your black belt! Just noticed :)))
Thanks man!! Appreciate that...
I'll see if I can put up some videos on playing it 😁😁😁
Thank you. Great details. I like how you showed to bridge to get deep across with the de la riva hook.
You're welcome! Glad you liked the breakdown!!! Reverse de la Riva video with back take will be posted tomorrow. 🤗🤗🤗
Oss👊
Thanks!!!!

That was really helpful thanks!!
You are so welcome 🙏 🤗
I was able to work this live today 😉 Oss 👊
That’s so amazing you landed it! Hope your opponent was surprised 😮 Nice work!!!
All the small details are very helpful. It was very beneficial to see both styles focusing on the posting hand. A 4:00 min mini system for flower/pendulum sweeps.
I'm so glad you liked it 👊 These kind of sweeps could be a full instructional - so these are just some quick details. But hope it helps your game!!!!
@@workharderandsmarterbjj Always more to learn 👊

You do a great job of getting so much information in a video without missing the major points or talking so much my ADHD makes me change the video. Great job.
That is such high praise. Thank you very much 🙏 🙏 🙏
That’s a flower sweep
Pendulum sweeps are a category, a Flower Sweep is a kind of Pendulum sweep. Like a Toyota Corolla is a kind of sedan...
@@workharderandsmarterbjj except there is no pendulum motion in a flower sweep, so it’s not under the pendulum sweeps category.
@@simplerstrengthI'm sure you're right 🤗🤗🤗
0:35 if this fails, what is the bail out plan for when he starts collapsing you and preparing to shelf etc?
Good question - the first answer would be that if I set up my grips right then I'm good to go and it won't fail. But if I rush and don't have what I need, much like any sweep, I'll be in trouble and have to adjust. Which leads to my second answer- where I would be fighting for arm control on one side (over or under hook) and grabbing the belt on the other side. Then I would pull them forward using the belt and one leg hook, adjusting the other hook to rotate towards the mat for a traditional butterfly Sweep. 🦋
Why is 1:29 presented as bad? Looks like an optimal opportunity for shoulder crunch butterfly sweep which is extremely high percentage for me
Another good question - I think that as a top player, we want heavy weight on our opponent and a solid base so we can start countering. The bottom player needs to control that weight, have leverage, and stop the top players ability to post. So if the top player gets heavy shoulder pressure and has collapsed both hooks/hips and their ability to lift and/or rotate, the boytom player gets stuck. But there is a tipping point - depends on which player is using their technique and mechanics better. Hope that makes sense. Qood questions!!! Thank you 🙏
I play a ton of butterfly. Good point about pulling the guy on top of you too far. I made this mistake a ton of times and it's not the best spot to be in. You don't want to be flat on your back with a guys weight on top of you when you're playing butterfly.
A series called "actually works" sounds catchy. That's the way ya do it 🎶
Hahaha Not a bad idea 😉
@workharderandsmarterbjj Just a heads up from my small group. We have a really hard time remembering the channel name. Maybe a name that is stickier can help your channel. 🤔 Maybe something personal and unique to specifically you 😀
