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!

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!!

    Habe you considered the possibility of kani basani as a counter to that takedown? How would you counter that counter?

    • @workharderandsmarterbjj
      @workharderandsmarterbjj 13 днів тому

      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 🤗🤗🤗

    • @workharderandsmarterbjj
      @workharderandsmarterbjj 5 місяців тому

      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. 🦋

  • @MaxLohMusic
    @MaxLohMusic 5 місяців тому

    Why is 1:29 presented as bad? Looks like an optimal opportunity for shoulder crunch butterfly sweep which is extremely high percentage for me

    • @workharderandsmarterbjj
      @workharderandsmarterbjj 5 місяців тому

      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.
