    Indy Jiu Jitsu | Carlson Gracie Team | Armlock from Side Control to Reverse Triangle

    Tue, 2013-01-01 14:26 — jotabravo

    Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.

    This is a technique that we were working on in December in our Advanced Class.
    Simple, easy, and no fancy movements.  It may not always be a position that you get the first time setting up, but if you get used to looking for it you will find it when attacking an armbar from side control or mount. It is a counter to certain escapes.  So learn it, drill it, then when sparring look for it.
    Good luck and See you on the mats!

    Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu | Carlson Gracie Team - Brabo Choke from the Closed Guard

    Sun, 2012-08-26 12:44 — jotabravo

    Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.

    Closed guard is one of my favorite places to attack from.  Of course, I would rather be on top in a fight, but when practicing or playing sport jiu jitsu, I really enjoy the closed guard.  There are a lot of attacks that you can do.  Some are very simple and can be used playing gi or no gi and some are more gi reliant or more sport jiu jitsu.
