Does a senior blue belt mean you have stripes and are close to being a purple belt? I don't know much about the belts but I know they give stripes to at least white belts and I assume it is towards them becoming a blue belt. Would this be the same for you except with becoming a purple?
Yo I'm loving these 1 on 1 lessons, Sick video Brandon. amazing quality as well. as for Submissions I always feel like the Arm triangle is a must, I've watched so many of your arm triangle videos just because more often than not you find yourself available to attack it.
@@jamieash500 It’s going great, thank you for asking! Had my first competition last weekend, Gi and No-Gi. Won Gi by Ezekiel Choke, lost No-Gi by points. I’m addicted to the game! Cheers!
The way you pulled the top wristlock tight is the key. Strangling any submission is so important. Strangling a submission just simply means pull out all the space you can before you attempt to submit. It takes a very little energy to squeeze space out. It takes a lot of energy to try to finish a bad submission. I never even take my arm out from under the head. Thank you for the back to basics pointers by the way. Just golden. As I get older my subs get more basic.
Appreciate that dude! I know I’m 10p, so people generally assume “ no fundamentals” for some reason. But we come from Jean Jacques Machado! The old school is still alive and kickin. Thanks for watching friend
What a great video. I wish there was a little more explanation on the triangle, but I mean this is pure gold being handed out for free, so I'm not going to complain. Thanks so much for this, especially that Americana.
The elbow under the chin is prolly the most important point here.... I've taken peoples backs and then started sliding off to the side bc of my opponent defending and the RNC simply doesn't work unless you are squared up with your elbow deep under there.... if you have THAT angle.. it's over... great video man.
Thanks dude. This is well-explained and demonstrated. You are very calm and it makes it easy to learn. You break stuff down to fine detail and repeat. I wish I could hire you as a personal Jiu Jitsu trainer.
Amazing video! I am going to check out those Americana details asap. I'm a simple brown belt peasant, but I think I would choose Triangle, Arm Bar, and Kimura. These three are incredibly versatile, and work well together.
The bonus submission became a strong part of my game after a class and a video I saw with B Mac really teaching about leaving the hand down and having a better position. Shoutout to Matt Elkins as an oki extraordinaire!
Great video. My personal opinion is that you have leveled up on your video making game... Awesome content. Maybe there are some small technical nuances that some might do a little differently, but this was a great tutorial.... Well done, solid👍thanks.
You are a cool dude, and a very good teacher. If I had to listen to 1 person talk about it instruct BJJ all day it would be you. You have a very good well pace calm and methodical style. I find it really easy to learn from yet also super relaxing and enjoyable. If I ever trained again, I would hope I could find a gym with an instructor like you. Also, if I ever come across you, I will make sure to hook you up with some flower ;) Peace brother.
Really great instruction and love the real nuggets with the small nuances so many people don't teach especially to noobies. So much easier to learn like this from scratch than to have to relearn and break bad habits!(like I did, still a noob) Only thing I hate is my old butt is too far away to train with you.....
Before the video: “I’ve been rolling for years, I don’t need any pointers for how to do the Americana…” After the video: “Hey, Jay! Come here, I need to drill something…” Solid gold as alway, Coach.
Wow! What a great video. A ton of detail that I've never seen before. I think that the Kimura is definitely essential. It's powerful and can be applied from numerous positions.
First few i learned as well and now My game is literally triangles, armbars, and RNC from all sorts of positions lol. Some occasional leglocks and darces.
Love the way you explain things with so much detail! Recently started learning an old style Jiu Jitsu and most of your details were missing. Couldn't really get the Americana working f.eks. or my rear naked being too ineffective. Your techniques make a lot of sense to me and I will try them out next week - thanks a lot! :)
I like this list, but would put the Americana as move number three. My reasoning is that the RNC and Triangle work off the same principle: compress both carotid arteries and eliminate escape behind the neck, creating the three sides needed for a successful strangulation(unless the trachea crush version of the RNC is being used [an actual choke rather than a strangle], in which the triangle shape surrounding the neck is rotated and there’s a line across the front of the neck rather than the back). Having a straight arm lock, a rotational/bent arm lock, and a choke/strangle gives a student three different principles to utilize in future techniques. Example: Kimura, Americana, Omoplata all utilize the same principle. RNC, Triagle, Guillotine all use the same principle. Arm bar and Knee bar use the same principle. Etc. Just my two cents. Great video btw!
My first three was Kimura. Which I have since learned to set the mouse trap. As what I call it. Then Kimura and it’s two brothers the short arm bar and amerikhana. The second one I learned was the cross collar choke from guard. And the armbar from guard. Those were my first three. But lapel chokes are my fav.
Aaahhh!! You spilled the beans on the secret for my favorite, the Americano! Awesome video. Those were what I was taught but with triangle as that "other one".
Before watching my pick is triangle, armbar and a good guillotine or RNC. Probably RNC because the position is much more dominant being on someone's back if u know what ur doing should just be a matter of time but guillotines are easier to escape
I might through a Kimura from closed guard or top side in there rather than the triangle, which is a lot to remember, understand and do at first… but that’s just a stylistic choice. Great video all around! Oss!
On the armbar, if you make sure the elbow is at your waist or higher when you perform the lean, you'll have far more success and make it more damaging as well. It turns your pelvis into a fulcrum against the shoulder, which rolls their body up and away from you. This increases the amount of leverage while making it harder to reach across to stalemate the armbar. It will get you taps where you otherwise wouldnt get them in competition vs more flexible opponents, and if you ever have to use it for real -- will cause way more damage because on top of threating an elbow break or dislocation you also threaten the same damage to the shoulder.
Great video, wonderful intros to the moves. Im a WN, getting pretty good at escaping and getting position. my finishes are trash tho. I get the position and then dont know how to finish lol. This is really helpful
I've recently been practicing the americana submission and was taught to transition to a long arm bar if the opponent straightens their arm (pin the wrist on the ground and basically crowbar their elbow with your other hand) which can work well
Hey Brandon, I’m a huge fan. I watch a lot of your videos, demos, rolls, etc. I’ve been drilling some of your techniques and they work like a charm. I’m a brown belt at a Gracie Barra Academy just north of Boston. Man, I love your style, your transitions, your details, everything is so fluid and just beautiful. I got the ham sandwich down, then today I drilled the shin lock. Thanks for all the lessons! I always look forward to your content!
Hey Brandon, when you think of your next RnR, think of New Zealand hook up with Prof Pedro Pacheco, Cigano, Silva or Odea to host your seminar it'll be awesome to have you here.
I first learned the Americana before I started actually training from the Gracie combatives videos. Second was the kimura from north south. Third Armbar from mount. I’m a new white belt (I’m 5 months in and bigger than most guys at my gym) and the submissions I can actually get on new white belts like me are the kimura from north south, the Americana from mount/side, and cross collar choke from mount (learned from Roger Gracie’s explanation on UA-cam) Amazing video by the way. You are an excellent teacher!!! I’m going to start basing off my hands to turn for the armbar. Maybe I’ll start being able to move easier to turn for it. But I can’t do the triangle to save my life. I’m just extremely inflexible. Like way less flexible than normal. I started a stretching workout so maybe one day…
Awesome video. Though my first fundamental choke I learned from the back was the bow and arrow. Though I guess the context is different, because it can't be used in anything outside of gi 🤣
@@brandonmcninja not assuming that was the intent, just thought it was funny catching one of coach Matt's old fights in a highlight real 😂😁👍 + you're not the one throwing him in that nasty armbar! 😂
I JUST realized you're in damn Decatur! I've been a gi guy in Atlanta since 96; and have wanted to go to 10th P for gi. You will see my daughter and my old ass soon. Great video!

I personally would agree on the triangle and armbar, but I would switch the rnc with the omoplata (because they are interconnected) and the americana with the rnc

Ditto!
Great explanations. I have a great 10p coach myself but I tend to come here find the important details like getting high on the RNC.
I agree 💯👌🏼😎

Hey man. Its been a year. How's BJJ going for you?
Me too bro 😭
@@kantarfamily5710I’m guessing the same sparring partner liquidated him r.i.p lol
Totally agree - RNC, Armbar, Triangle. Thanks for the video and details!
I feel like the guillotine should be first
Props to you partner for dealing with being squeezed like a lime on Saturday night! 👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸
Almost at 3 months now and things are finally starting to click! Your videos are a massive help!
I am a senior blue belt at my school and I still return to your beginner videos because I like your simple but effective explanations to the moves!

My three are
1. RNC
2. Arm Triangle
3. Arm bar from mount
But if opponent is clothed or in a Gi then Loop Chokes :)
This is fantastic, love the focused attention to detail when you teach.

Shoutout to Matt Elkins as an oki extraordinaire!
Hands down THE best instruction that I’ve ever seen for the armbar……excellent share…..OSS 🥋🤙👊🏼
As a man who has finished over 8 mma fights with triangle, It is most defiantly one of the best/first you should learn. Great stuff my friend.
Coolest on the list imo I wanna get really good at them
I think guillotine is really important aswell, I used it as a complete beginner whilst getting single legged and it worked

Ha ha appreciate the compliment and glad I was able to sauce it up a little for you
My first submission ever was an arm triangle choke I caught it 3 times on my first day and it quickly became my favorite choke.
Great video and production quality!

Finally, I’ve found my guy. Great video! I’ll be stalking all your content haha
My first go to was the kimora from gaurd. As a blue belt I still use it heaps but more as a set up for sweeps, other subs.
Been working on my passing and side control pin - Hit this Americana in live yesterday, thanks coach!
The way these guys both close their eyes as they settle into the rear naked choke is strangely comforting.
