Probably my favorite you tube video ever. I often watch this video right before walking into class and it helps keep everything in perspective -basic frames and posturing. I also love this style of video dealing with more of a concept versus pure technique -these are just pure gold thank you for sharing
lol. i was playing with this especially for over the last year! and i love it! i try to follow 3 especially crucial fundamental rules in my bjj and it makes it a hundred times harder to submit me. 1- posture posture posture. always make sure the spine is in proper athletic spinal alignment before applying or trying to absorb force. 2- stop being flat! all the chokes, cranks and horrible things tend to happen when you are flat and oddly don't work if you are just slightly on your side at about 45 degrees. 3- FIGHT TO THE DEATH to protect my underhook space or the space from my armpit to knees. this is crucial wrestler mentality. if you deny your opponent that crucial underhook real estate, chokes, armbars, kimura etc all die off! conversely when attacking i want to get in as deep in that underhook space as possible and make the guy flatter than a pancake.
What about your under hook space when bottom closed guard? I find I can use that to grip and trap the arm and set up triangles sometimes? Any thoughts? Genuinely curious as a white belt if this is something I should stop doing?
@@MrBANANAS1235 firas zahabi went over some key fundamentals of the underhook. ua-cam.com/video/GWrIj1kdZTI/v-deo.html When you are playing closed guard, you are effectively occupying the underhook space w your hips and legs. you want to break the guys posture (spinal alignment) and generally never reach for an underhook because reaching tends to make it weak and ineffective. And reaching tends to leave you exposed. If you let the opponent control your underhook space, he can start to stack you or pin you in your own guard which is embarrassing lol.
@@MrBANANAS1235 That space is in that position occupied by your legs. It does not always have to be your arms that is controlling this space. Apply your legs closer to the innermost part of the armpit and attack an omopolata for instance, since the legs are already there.
Nice. I think it worth more to focus on concepts and principles than in specific techniques.

All about those triangle frames....and wristlocks. Thanks for the share.
B-Mac is my hero. Helped me adopt the punch choke and ezekiels to defeat much larger opponents!
Great explanation of such an important concept.
Awesome content!
Powerful stuff... Thank you!
Thank you
Love the concept, this is a great thing to think about
Hello sir, can you make a video about late stage(last ditch) choke escapes? Thanks.
I´ll try it tomorrow, thank´s.
Love the vid but please next time before you upload see if there is an option to “normalize audio” because the audio level is insanely low
Your vids = awesome
