Offical Submissions 101 Technique Request Thread

[Ari Bolden]

Hello Everyone:

This will be the offical technique resquest thread for our website. It is hard to track all the requests when then end up in different threads and I've probablly forgotten about some too (sorry about that).

So here are the rules:

1) Make your request in this thread.
2) I will refer to the thread when I am making my next batch of videos
3) Try not to reply to other peoples requests on this thread (It will make it easier for me when I need to see what I need to get to.
4) If you have a question (not a video request) about a technique, just make another thread so others (or myself) can chime in.
5) Try an make your request as detailed as possible or troubles you are having.
6) I'll do my best to get to them, but be patient because I am only one guy ;-)
7) Red means I have filmed it and it is either up or going up on the site soon

Hope that helps. Now, request away....

I wouldn't mind seeing drills to improve a certain aspect of BJJ.

For instance when we were in wrestling we would do a drill where a partner would get on all fours and the top guy would start sprawled out on the guys back (chest to back) and when the whistle blew the top guy would push the head down and when going to the side would hold the elbow to prevent the bottom guy from grabbing the leg and they would go around back and onto the other side, grab elbow, work around front and the bottom guy would try to keep his head up while the guy pushed his head down and then every once in awhile we would switch direction and go the other way. This helped both bottom guy and top guy. The top guy because he was getting conditioned, learning how to control the bottom guy and improving mobility during a sprawl. It helped the bottom guy learn stability on the bottom and keeping good posture in that position.

Anyway, didn't know if there were any drills that would improve the foundation of someones game.


Thanks.

[Ghosted3]

I request for you not do the peruvian neck-tie, because I want to send that one in :D That is as soon as my mats get here and Tuchek lets me :D

[Ari Bolden]

Email request:

Wrist lock series from the ground (this one will be fun! and super painful for my uke (partner))

[Fox1s2]

Can you show me a good way to escape back control with figure four? possibly a counter? Also some more Sambo moves would be awesome..=)

[Herm]

I request utchi-mata (I think thats what Colin called it). Its kind of a throw counter to the inside leg trip, which Karo uses frequently in his matches. I also request more cow bell :p

[Hadaka Jime]

i aslo requested this herm, it is a great throw and looking threw the search section of sub 101... the throws/take downs sections is really skimpy compared to others, i am all for wrist locks, there some of my favorite techniques, high pain and low force=very effective in my book, i just think the site would be more well rounded with some throws/take downs added in, and i know it's JJJ BJJ and self defense but a little judo would be nice for standing game:) +8734862 for uchi-mata awesome explosive throw with about 100 variations that can be done as a counter of another 100 things, it's my all purpose throw, and it can be dominant if done well

[MatzeOne]

Hello!

Would be nice if you can show, how Eddies "Gangsta Lean" (Mount) work. I guess it's difficult for me, because he describes that you have to lean all of your weight to one side. With all of my weight on one side, it comes to my mind, that must be a very unstable position and you can be reversed easily. But it's Eddy so I doubt that. Because you're one of his students, it would be great if you can tell us something about this position and maybe show us the "Slow Triangle" from that position.

Greetings,
Matze

P.S.: It's working now. It's easier than I thought.

[Ari Bolden]

Defending the elbow wedge when someone is in your guard and trying to break it.

Armbar stack escape to armbar

[J_Morales]

how about this was rollin' around with my friend the other night. We had a game plan I was to play nothing but defense and he was going to do nothing but offense. He did get me in a hold i couldn't get out of even though he could not submit me so i need your help with it.....


Full nelson from back control ( Hooks in and all )
((was done on the ground and I was unable to get his arm for the arm bar like i the video because he had his hooks in ))

[Jujitswho?]

Good one for Vet. and Noobies!!

[Ghosted3]

I have a request, but it doesnt really involve moves... How about a virtual tour of your dojo, and introduction of people that are usually in your online vids, as well as posters on here from your school? I just thought it would be kinda cool.

[Ryan]

I have a request, but it doesnt really involve moves... How about a virtual tour of your dojo, and introduction of people that are usually in your online vids, as well as posters on here from your school? I just thought it would be kinda cool.

That would be neat. I have only seen a small section of the dojo on tape and maybe a picture.

[Forkfoot]

Your "leglocks" section could stand to be filled out a bit more imo.

[Ghosted3]

Tee Pee.... I keep hearing of this move like it is some urban legend but cant find anything on it...

[Forkfoot]

Tee Pee.... I keep hearing of this move like it is some urban legend but cant find anything on it...


Great idea. I'm in love with that move (I've got big thighs & short legs), & it's got Submissions 101 written all over it.

[Ari Bolden]

The tepee is a money move. I showed this to Aaron a couple months back and he flipped out. Its also knows as the Pulson as well. I'll throw that up in the new year. Man, you guys keep me busy!

[Ghosted3]

You could always lock the thread for a month or so til you get caught up and then re-open it :p

[Manateekisser]

When rolling, I always end up getting my opponent into scarf control. It's a position I feel pretty comfortable holding for a pretty long period of time. The problem is, the only submission I know from that position is the shoulder lock with the legs. So, request: Scarf hold attacks :D

[Ari Bolden]

Heading into my gym for a few hours today to do these video requests. Stay tuned!

[Ghosted3]

So lemme get this straight.... You are teaching class, bouncing, doing sub 101 vids, writing books, making stuff for Earthbound, injured, and getting ready to get married? you are one busy and dedicated dood!

[Ari Bolden]

We only get one kick at the can....and they'll be enough time to rest when I'm dead.

:D

[LacticAcid]

Well said Ari. Its my new signature now. :D

[JamesB]

double & single leg takedowns, submission combinations that you can transition to if it doesnt work would be cool (eg arm bar to triangle to omoplata)

[Hadaka Jime]

Your "leglocks" section could stand to be filled out a bit more imo.
the throws section is very very flat, maybe 5 videos i think
Tee Pee.... I keep hearing of this move like it is some urban legend but cant find anything on it...it's a nice technique, i've used it for a while, and eddie has a set up for it from the pyramid in rubber guard

my request would be a lot more throws, and takedowns etc...

[Ari Bolden]

Yeah...I know....I will be getting more throws up. I just filmed a whole bunch for my new DVD (which I just finished mastering and will be sending off within 48 hours). The DVD has quite a few new ones. I WILL be adding some more throws but I've got to be particular, especailly when I am releasing a new DVD with new material (its hard for me not to put that stuff up on the site!)

My dojo reopens today, so I'll be doing my best to film, teach and update the site.

The holidays are kinda busy...sorry guys...

[Ghosted3]

No worries Ari, I am sure everyone here understands that you have alot of stuff on your plate right now.

[BadKarmaRising]

No worries Ari, I am sure everyone here understands that you have alot of stuff on your plate right now.

I understand nothing! Ari's stuff is like grappling crack and I want moreMoreMORE!

[Ghosted3]

Then just like an addict runnin low, you need to learn to ration that stuff out to keep you going til the new shipment comes in :p

[Ari Bolden]

From an email (Gabe):
Hello Ari, I was just wondering if at sometime you may show a (or multiple) takedowns for when someone is attacking you with a variety of kicks? I know it might be obvious how to do so but still I know there is much more than just the obvious

And to all the addicts....you just wait :D for what is coming....

[Hadaka Jime]

i like this one, should help for fighting my Kempo brother:D 08' is gonna be a good year

[JamesB]

is there any way do the single wing choke without the gi? (or something similar)

[Ari Bolden]

Yes James, there is.

1) Wrap your arm around their neck placing your hand on their shoulder.
2) grip tight
3) loop the other one around the neck, cutting your hand into the back of their neck.

Not as effective as the kataha jime (single wing) but can work.

I just opt for the pentagram instead :D

[Tallsilkyslim]

Bicep slicer from the guard

Incorporating strikes with grappling

[Ryan]

I don't know if this has been asked for but could you make individual videos describing each guard? For instance,

what is rubber guard?
who can use it? (tall, short, anyone)
why it is effective?

what is x guard?
who can use it? (tall, short, anyone)
why it is effective

This way you can start showing moves from each guard and explain which guard is best for a kimura or a triangle or an armbar

[JamesB]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES7NyvpMhM4 this is a really good video on rubber guard, and could you do old school and the calf crank

[Ghosted3]

Not sure if we have said this before Ari, but thanks a ton from all of us here. Thanks for taking time from your busy as hell schedule and making random vids for us to enjoy. *bows*

[Forkfoot]

Second that. An internet-savvy submissions grappling instructor with an innovative and progressive mindset is a true boon to the sport. You have and will continue to influence far more people than you'll ever know.

[Dannicus]

Hey Ari, now that you have done a video on sleeve grab escapes, would you be willing to do one on collar grabs?

[Ricky V2]

Ari, I know I mentioned this before, but I'll post it just as a refresher. The Dragon Sleeper, or I believe you know it as the "yumi." It was a move Don "The Predator" Frye used to use in his Pride FC days. My personal favorite sub move.

[Tallsilkyslim]

How about a key lock counter when your opponent is in cross body?

[Ari Bolden]

Thanks for the requests guys (and reminders)...keep hounding me and I'll get them up. I will be in Arizona until Sunday, but I will tackle your stuff when I get back.

[rocknroll]

could you please show jiu jitsu ukemi

i would be glad

thanks

[Ari Bolden]

yes..we plan on doing a video on ukemi.

[Ricky V2]

yes..we plan on doing a video on ukemi.


Falling techniques are essential to learn for martial arts. A lot of styles don't teach them, which IMO is a big mistake. I often am used as an uke, so my falls have to be top notch. That will be a good addition to martial artists who are unfamiliar with ukemi.

[Carl_AK]

Ari,
I've said this before, but thanks again for this wonderful site. I pulled off my 1st Teepee the other day, and got the look. You know the look . . . that look that says, "What the heck did I just get tapped with". I'm getting addicted to that look. :)

Anywho, I would love to see some north-south chokes. I lost a match the other day, because I got in the north south position, locked up what I thought would be a choke, and then gator rolled. I lost position & never got it back. I'm thinking I wasn't supposed to roll. Could you show a few chokes from north south? Maybe one with arm, one with no arm, one with a gi, ect?

Thanks!
-Carl-

[tuchek]

Ari, first off (like everyone else) I want to say thanks. I really enjoy your site, time and effort you put in. Also, fat guys shouldnt be trying some of the moves I have fell in love with. Straight Jacket, Pentagram and so forth. But hey, what is a fast easy tap for a fat guy? 6ft and 258, fat thighs. I cant close a triangle on people close to my size.

[Dannicus]

Not that the ever growing list of requests ever really dies down, but I would be interested in seeing you throw out some more of your favorite sweeps from guard Ari. Even side control sweeps/escapes would be lovely.

You know we love your work!

[deathblade]

I would like to see a key lock from guard. Its a move that I have been trying to land but just cant seem to finish.

Is this what you mean?
http://www.submissions101.com/armlocks3.htm

If not lemme know and I will help ya track it down.

[Ari Bolden]

Ok...it's been a while since I've uploaded some of the requests I've gotten. This weekend, I plan on getting through as many as I can before class.

Breaking collar grabs
Yumi
Suicide choke (this is my favorite gi choke of all time and I have yet to see one person get out of it and not tap...yes..it is that good)
North South reversals
and more

[Ghosted3]

Suicide choke (this is my favorite gi choke of all time and I have yet to see one person get out of it and not tap...yes..it is that good)

Does passing out count? Sounds like an interesting choke.

[deathblade]

I have seen the kimura vid (very helpful). Frank Mir used a keylock from guard to sub Pete Williams. Looked very painful.

[Ghosted3]

Can you explain a bit as to what you are looking for and we will locate something for you.

I would like to see some North South reversals. I hear a lot about them but I can't think of the last guy to have gotten out of my Kami Shiho Gatame, It would have been a Judo guy no Juijitsu guys have gotten out of North South unless I ditched the pin to go for some submission that didn't work. But I hear it is an easy pin to escape from.

[deathblade]

your opponent is in your guard. You break his base and pull him forward. Trap the arm that you are attacking under your arm pit and wrap your arm and pull it towards your opposite side.

[Ari Bolden]

Death"

Twisting shoulder lock (see our standing maki hiji nage video).

[deathblade]

Thanks Ari thats the right kind of shoulder lock but from your guard

[Carl_AK]

Sorry if someone else already requested this, but I would love to see a "Guard Week", where you show the basics of each guard type. Not everything about it of course, you could right a book about each guard position, but just some simple 2 minute: This is the butterfly guard, here is a couple easy ways to get into it, here is a couple common mistakes that can get it passed, and here are a couple helpful tips on how to maintain the position. Spider Guard, Xguard, ect ect.

I tried to play a little butterfly & xguard today, but kept getting a knee stuffed & passed to half guard.

Edit: on the positive side though, getting these guards passed has improved my half guard game alot. It used to get passed quickly, but today I held lockdown for about 2minutes, and had a good attempt at Old School & Electric Chair sweeps. I didn't get either one, but I did eventually get to knees, dog fight, and then to standing. :)

[CEB]

I don't want anybody to go to any extra trouble. But if anyone has any clips of the following transitions/ techniques I would really enjoy seeing them. Maybe someone could post a link. I haven't see these on YouTube.

Thanks for your support.

1) Twister Side Control to Back Control.
2) Twister Side Control to Kimura.

[danjr]

how about defense against the Ezekiel choke from different positions (opponent is mounted, from guard/half guard, opponent has side control)

[Ari Bolden]

Going into the gym today..gonna see if I can get a few videos done before our jiu jitsu class. Got a great list...keep em coming.

thanks to everyone for their support!

[JamesB]

a video on different ways of controlling posture and breaking people down in your guard would be pretty handy

[flying gogo-plata]

How about some fancy leg locks, like the iminari heel hook, or the rolling kneebar?

[Jake8]

I would love to see a video on the basics of developing a strong butterfly guard gi and no gi. A lot of Eddies stuff transitions into butterfly guard and most good jiujitsu guys I have rolled with love butterfly, but nobody really explains the basics. I try butterfly and I get passed with ease, yet I know from personal experience that a strong butterfly is hard to pass.

[SnakeBites]

Theres afew things I would like to see
1.What to do if some one is in your gurd
2.Submisions from side mount
3.I would like to see more of the before and afters like stretches or routines stuff like that

[Rasamat]

I want to see a video about counters to toe-holds or leg locks when your opponent is in your guard.

I'd also want to see some leg takedowns, like the ones you see in the UFC... like takedowns that aren't judo throws.

[Tagg1080]

Maybe you could show a little more offensive judo?, like the offensive hip throw, and the variations, leg placement, kickup up as your throw, etc.. they are a very useful throw, to me, the hip throw has been gold, can even be done from the knees, which is also, very effective.

your judo section is kinda small, =(, being a black belt in it, that depresses me, it is a very useful style, and i think would help a lot of people's ground game, jus getting used to moving other's momentum around

and another GREAT drill, is a judo match, first one to hav his back touch ground first loses, from standing: with our eyes closed, same with grappling i would assume, the eyes closed makes it very interesting, and u can focus more on the movements, rather then the distractions.

as a summary, i would like to see more judo, :D

[Hadaka Jime]

off balancing your opponent as seen in a lot of judo+throws throws and more throws

[necrotic]

Id like to see more throws and arm bars :) ill be needing to learn all i can for my fight this summer

[SnakeBites]

A video on all the grips you can do ie Sgrip,Gabel,etc

[flying gogo-plata]

A video on all the grips you can do ie Sgrip,Gabel,etc

i second that notion

[SnakeBites]

also id like to see all of the mounts mount,side mount,twister,scarfe,etc,and something you can do from each of them

[rocknroll]

more self defence stuff please

[LionKilla]

How about a video on how to do that Zero-Gravity choke :D. I've been waiting for taht video for a long long long time now.

[hma123]

yea defiinetly more takedowns, judo throws,wrestling takedowns, etc.

[Matt Barrett]

my throwin is goin thro a bad patch at the mo...these throws would be appreciated
1.ippon seoi nage
2.koshi guruma
3hani goshi

[Ari Bolden]

Hey Guys:

I am in the works of adding some more videos..but I am travelling for the next 3 weeks or so on the weekends (when I tape). It might be sporadic when I can get to them. I will do my best and get on track shortly. Keep em coming.

Keep on rollin and stand true fellas!

[WadeF]

I would like to see some submissions from the north south positions and some more videos of different takedowns and throws from the standing position, and maybe a "how to" flying armbar video

[SnakeBites]

I would like to see some submissions from the north south positions and some more videos of different takedowns and throws from the standing position, and maybe a "how to" flying armbar video

Here is the flying armbar http://submissions101.com/armlocks21.htm

[SnakeBites]

Is there a video on over under controll...explaining it and how to do it. if its up can i have the link if its not please post it thanks

[Ari Bolden]

I've got a whole series of new Eddie Videos going up later this week. Onf of them is about over under control. I thing we already have one up in the eddie bravo section where he talks about it too (wow, I offically have more videos than I can remember!).

[SnakeBites]

I would like to see a grapling match between Ari and Eddie

[Ari Bolden]

I think everyone on here would like to see me get pwnd by Eddie, including me! I'll see what I can do when Eddie comes up to Submissions 101 gym in June. Should be a good laugh.

I think I'll change my signature to:

"I got tapped out by Eddie Bravo. What do you do today?":D

[SnakeBites]

Lmao nice I wouldent mind being taped by etier of you sens i dont know it yet but in anycase it would be fun to watch.....quick qustion why pull ruber gurd when you can just slap on a triangel ? or so it seems ...

[flying gogo-plata]

Lmao nice I wouldent mind being taped by etier of you sens i dont know it yet but in anycase it would be fun to watch.....quick qustion why pull ruber gurd when you can just slap on a triangel ? or so it seems ...

ur other leg is still in a normal guard positon, both legs are below the arms, but u can do a triangle from rubber guard, or pyrimid

[SnakeBites]

I would like to see a anatomy of the choke part 2 IE blood vs air choke some diffrent aspects of each the pros and cons and how long it takes to put some one out for each

[SnakeBites]

thanks ....do they have a video of rubber gurd i have a basic consept but visul would be much better...

[flying gogo-plata]

i don't think they do or at least not specifically rubber guard, but u can just go on youtube

[ricksonGRACIEfan]

I'm not sure of the name its a Eddie Bravo moved I've seen him do but never seen the name or how its done. I see him do it from spiderweb control he is tryin to get the arm for a arm bad but he is holding on tight. Master bravo takes his leg closest to the feet and passes it over victims forarm and locks his other leg over that one (like a traingle sorta) and tucks the food under the vics head and gets the tap. I saw this when he was demonstating the swim move from the back.thanks
kev

P.S. thanks for all you have done I didnt have enough money to take classes where i live and had to quit but you have helped make sure i still progressed in my jiu jitsu

[Ari Bolden]

Hey Kev:

That is the arm crush from spider web. Welcome to the board and remember to fill out the Your Stats thread in the Lounge section.

cheers
Ari

[flying gogo-plata]

what about the figure four leg lock? i always thought it was just for pro wrestling but we learned a variation of it in class a couple days ago and it works pretty nicely, i'd love to see some more variations of it and other calf cutters

Edit: i just realized we didn't learn the figure four it actually more of an ankle lace, same concept though

[Mikey Triangles]

ankle lace is completely more realistic, lol

[SnakeBites]

What to do if some one is dumb enoug to cross there hooks well they have your back (or you force them) and where to go from twister side....

[muaythaijjj]

ari you rule! thanks for the service bro! i would like to see an escape from the lock down. this position is a nightmare for the guy on top!

[Hadaka Jime]

when you make them cross their hooks, you raise your feet up to theres and put your foot ontop of theirs crossed and push down towards the floor, and it will put a lot of pressure on their ankles and force the tap, check it out in this video

http://www.submissions101.com/strategies5.htm

[Ari Bolden]

ari you rule! thanks for the service bro! i would like to see an escape from the lock down. this position is a nightmare for the guy on top!

Funny you were asking for this. I will be making a video this weekend about it. Einstien showed me a MONEY escape last weekend from the lock down (everyone knows how to get out of a shitty half guard, but a lock down is murder).

It is, for lack of a better name, called a sprinters pass.

Stay tuned...help is on the way!

[flying gogo-plata]

or to get out of the lockdown u can do an indian death lock... i'm not kidding the move is actually called that, just stand up and thrust ur hips forward next time u get in the lockdown (make sure his legs stay twisted around urs while u do this, it's a calf crush commonly used in catch wrestling)

[danjr]

Could you make a video for what do to if someone passes out from not tapping soon enough (take out mouthpiece, raise legs, etc.). Pretty sure you don't have one like that yet but I could be wrong.

[flying gogo-plata]

+1 on the revival of someone who's been choked out, cuz murder's never good...at least not unless u like keeping body parts in ur fridge (they start to stink, trust me i know:D )

[ricksonGRACIEfan]

Id like to see the forearm crush that eddie bravo does if you have time
kev

[Ari Bolden]

Which forearm crush? From the spider web?

[virginiamma]

Some no gi guard passes would be nice. All your passes have a gi and your using the gi for leverage or handles.

thanks

[Kintanon]

+1 on some No Gi closed guard passes, w/ opening the guard included in the vid.

[Ari Bolden]

Hey Guys:

If you look closely, many of those passes don't require you to touch the gi at all. A lot of people think that just becuase I am wearing my gi in the video, that you need to GRAB on to something for those to work.

Or, with just a slight adjustment, those passes will work nogi. All the guard passes you see in those videos are the ones I use all the time nogi, so there is really no difference. I just didn't want to double up on videos if there was no need.

Take a look again and you'll see what I mean.

cheers
Ari

[SnakeBites]

... I might get some shit for this one but the cross face

[flying gogo-plata]

... I might get some shit for this one but the cross face

as in like the counter to a double leg, and the set up to the cradle in folkstyle, and freestyle wrestling, or wwe style "crippler" cross face?

[SnakeBites]

as in like the counter to a double leg, and the set up to the cradle in folkstyle, and freestyle wrestling, or wwe style "crippler" cross face?

ok that first part went over my head im not even a white belt yet but to be honest the wwe version cuz im sure if apllied corectly can hurt like a bitch a neck and arm crank

[SnakeBites]

Ok I think it would be alittel more helpfull to me atlest if Sweeps where seperated from escapes cuz I only found 3 sweeps and im sure there should be more if not can you plez post some

[virginiamma]

I've looked and your techs can be done no gi but you are breaking the closed guard via leverage of of gi grips in all of them. Breaking a closed guard in no gi is where I get stuck the most when I am passing the guard.

[Ari Bolden]

You must be talking about me gripping the gi pants then (Since that is what we roll in at my school). I will make a series of strictly nogi (no grip passes) for you when time allows.

Thanks for you patience :)

The funny thing about nogi is that it is easier to break the guard and harder to old on without the gi (unless you are playing rubber guard...hence the reason the RG works so well nogi)

[CEB]

I wondered about that. I have seen some of these rubber guard movies and the first thing that came to my mind was it looked like the Rubber Guard would be pretty easy to stuff. The gi gives you quite a bit of leverage. The gi makes it a lot easier to maintain posture. Something Professor Draculino calls the "Samurai Posture".

I've watched some no gi and the thing that gets my attention is the speed and pace of the game. Due to the lack of leverage and control you have against your opponent.

But I'm just an old Judo player.

[Ari Bolden]

The nogi game is much quicker, that is for sure. The whole key to the RG is to break down the guys posture and then keep tight and work your magic from there.

[Ryan]

Rubber guard is basically the way for a no-gi competitor to hold an opponent down to gain position?

[Masterpiece]

Hi Ari !

I don't know if you remember, but I'm that guy who send you an email about Anaconda vice. I asked you to make a video about it and you gave me a link to YouTube.
Now that video is removed in some reason and I would re-ask that if you guys could make a video about Anaconda vice :D. I'm very stubborn sob :D.

And one other; if you could make more videos about when opponent stands in your guard. I'm not sure have I seen any of those kind of videos in sub101.com.

[Ari Bolden]

WOW...I am shoked that he took that video down. As a matter of fact, I can't find any videos from the Island Jujitsu guys (the guy's name was Mark Goebelle (?) and he had a few videos on you tube. He wore a blue gi and a toque in the vids. Who remembers them?

It's a shame he took them down. I guess I'll make a A.V. video then.

As for staking guard vids, we a have a few sweeps up but will add more for you!

cheers

[jakem]

how about the heel hook, ala frank mir against brook lesner.

lesner was standing in mir's guard and he spun on his back , wraped his legs around lesners,sweped him and got the heel hook.

[Ari Bolden]

laugh...I am no Frank Mir ;)

In fact...next month, I was thinking of working on a different type of SUb101 video series: Dynamic Movement: How to get a sub with a resisting opponent.

As we all know, a key lock (americana) from the mount is easy to do. But when the person you are doing it on is resisting 100%, things tend to change. That is where "COMBAT STRATEGY" comes into play. This is the core to any martial art program.

we'll see where I go with it...still in the "just thinking about it" stage.

[jakem]

i really was refering to the technique that he used , which you are probably addressing with your dynamic movement.

[Forkfoot]

That was actually a kneebar Frank used on Lesnar; he just did it gripping his heel.

[jakem]

More sweeps a breaking down of all the gurds and all the hand locks you can do thanks

[michaelwbray]

Couple of requests:

1) Setups for the triangle choke. High percentage submission, would like to see some different types of setups for it.

2) Grip break. When you are going for a kimura from guard and they grab onto their gi etc. I can never seem to break this grip. I can sweep from there... But I want the finish then and there. I worked hard to get to that position and want the tap.

[flying gogo-plata]

+1 on grip breaks! i never thought about that before but i realized i don't know many if any!

[SnakeBites]

Is there all ready a Kimura From Guard with no gi if not can there be plez :D

Yes there is. Gi and nogi is pretty much the same. Also, see our latest video and seach the armbar section.

[Ari Bolden]

I haven't heard of that one before. You see, the instructors from the system experiment and makes stuff up and name them afterwards :-) It might not be one of Eddie's moves.

We actually have a forum that we started for 10th Planet instructors and Eddie where we will discuss new techniques, decide on names and refine the system together...should be fun....and of course, you guys will be the FIRST to hear about them!

This is a request and a question in one post. I humbly request a vid of a counter to an attempted RG pass? My question for everyone is if someone passes their leg over whatever foot is not held by my hand in RG, do I go to half guard or is their a way to regain the hip control?

go carni, unless u don't have his arm traped in which case... idk i'd like to know too now:D

[neorotik]

Hey Ari,

A very useful guard technique that I like to use in both self defense/MMA and grappling - is the "Anaconda from guard position."

It works well in self defense/MMA when your opponent is raining down punches... for grappling in general an armdrag is the bestmethod. So - I thought you could also show the variation.

I think it's an invaluable tool - especially in a real fight. It's sometimes the difference between getting punched in the kisser and a submission.

I know the technique well - I'm not sure what your criteria is for a request? Should I describe or email you the technique in full or discuss on here?

All and all - just thought it would be a great addition to the ground game of some.

And I choose this icon because it's fun. :eek:

[Ari Bolden]

It sounds like head and arm control from the guard position to basically shut down punches to the head although the other hand is free for the kidney shot. If I am right, it is a basic head and arm tie up that lots of guys use in the UFC.

Let me know if I am getting that right buddy:D

There is another position which allows for a similar position but with more attack possibilities called the pyramid. It is very good also.

Welcome to the board. Remember to fill out the stats under the members section.

cheers!

[neorotik]

"Submissions 101 - The Anaconda choke from guard. I like to do this move when your opponent is aggressively punching while in your guard" haha :D

Self defense/MMA:
1. Your opponents in your guard.
2. (this seems to work best when they posture up for a punch) Await the punch (by extending your guard up with their posture)
3. As they punch down(and before they land the punch lol), reach across your body and swim.
4. You now have them in guard but both of their arms are off to a side of you - {edit: they're basically in turtle position while in your guard - as they have both hands on the mat} you're posted with the arm you didn't swim with and reaching across their back and locking their body in by grabbing their lat muscle with the arm you did swim with. (You're basically in the kimura/guillotine from guard position - except instead of an arm to each side of you - you have both to ONE side of you)
5. At this position most people like to over-under control.. then rear mount. Instead you can end it here by swimming your posted arm under their armpit to grab the "elbowpit" of the arm that you swam with.
[6.] This step is rarely needed, but to gain more leverage for the submission.. you can open your guard and hook your opponents leg closest to you [and without your foot from the ground] drag it towards you.

The variation for grappling is to armdrag instead of awaiting a punch.

I just thought this would be an asset to submissions101 as it plays well in self defense, MMA, and grappling.

Ari maybe you could do like a forum poll and let people just vote on like 5-10 submissions, sweeps, takedowns, counters, whatever. Just make vids of the top 2 or 4 or whatever you choose. Do it bi-weekly, monthly, whenever. just and idea. Might be easier on you than having to keep up with all these requests. Would be fun to vote and participate in, also.

[Shonuff]

I'll toss my requests into the mix...

I find myself in De La Riva guard quite a bit (especially reverse De La Riva) and am pretty good at fending guys off with it and stuffing their attempts at passing but I really only have one or two subs/sweeps I know from there. I would like to be more proactive from that position...

Any chance of doing some De La Riva guard strategies/techniques?

[Chris Herzog]

Hey guys, Ari has asked me to submit vids for submisisons 101. I recently submitted two and have some more ideas. I don't want to be repetitive and do stuff that already been done.

If there is anything thing anyone has interest in feel free to ask.

My particular strengths in the 10th planet system are: twister attacks and 1/2 guard. In my over all game, my top game is best. Also specialize in no-gi throw/takedown as well (I have a longtime Judo & Sambo background). Just looking for a few more ideas to the ones I plan on doing.

Thanks!

[johnnyP]

I'm glad you posted this, I was about to make a thread about a move out of 1/2 guard :)

So, I just got MtRG and MtT for my birthday last week (woo!) and I gotta say they are awesome. I haven't gotten to deep into either book as I am still starting out and I am trying to focus on the beginnings of each, so that I can work deeper into the system from there.

But I was just flipping through MtT here at work (like, 30 seconds ago) and I was reading about the Arm Triangle from traditional mount.
I got to thinking about how I am gonna be drilling 1/2 guard->lockdown->whipup->old school, etc tonight and it made me wonder:
Does anyone pull the arm triangle out of 1/2 guard? This may well be in one of the books, but I just haven't seen it, and I don't really have time to go digging for very long during the day so I thought I would throw this out there.

What I was thinking is that you would establish lockdown and throw the whip up, but keep your "inner" arm (the one that was across his neck) in his body... kinda shoot it straight up as you toss the guy up above your head.
Then, when he sinks his hips back down, wrap that arm around his neck, and figure 4 your arms as you keep your head back behind his armpit/shoulder, and drive his arm into his neck as you squeeze.

Would that be effective? Thanks in advance for any feedback :)

[brianhunter]

I like seeing transitions and counters. A lot of videos I see show one submission but no counters or chains to deal with counters.

[virginiamma]

I can hit an arm triangle from 1/2 guard with lockdown sometimes. For me its dependent on them making an error and putting their arm to far forward or even worse ( for them ) on the wrong side.

The hard part for me is finishing it if they don't tap while your appying it from the bottom. Getting the sweep with the arm triangle is difficult for me.

Thats just mny experience I am sure there are better players here that can be more informative.

[JBotello]

I get it all the time... the Apollo :)

[Chris Herzog]

Yes, as John said its called "the Apollo."

I usually set it up when I can't get the "jaws of life" (lets say they have a underhook on my left arm) to work to establish double underhooks. I'm locking down thier right leg. I want to attack with the Apollo on the oposite side that I have the lockdown on. I'll use my right arm to push thier left arm to the other side of my head, right into the arm triangle.

So you lock in the apollo on the opposite side of your lockdown?

excellent :)

[Chris Herzog]

Yip.

If you can't finish from the bottem, do the stomp with your legs, so you get the butterfly hook, elevate them and sweep to the same side you have the arm triangle on, then finish from top;mount, track stance, impaler, etc.

[Ari Bolden]

But for you guys I'll do it.

Uchi-mata
Tai-otoshi
Ankle Pick

all will be from the wizzer and finish in the D'arce choke.

[JayC]

Aw shit hot dude, get em up before July 15th so I can drill this for my tournament on the 20th!

[flying gogo-plata]

yay i love no-gi throws!!!! do u know a no-gi version of the sasai suri komi ashi?

[Chris Herzog]

of course :D

My favorite is starting with a High collar tie. I attack right side o-soto, when they defend (by stepping back). Snap down and circle to and pick up the outside leg (the same you attacked with o-soto, his right)with your left hand. Circle and pivot into him and hit the sasase with your right foot against his left.


You can do it with just the snap down to the leg grab. But I find using the o-soto with an initial attack helps alot.

[jakem]

you sasid you have some sambo skills,how about some leg attacks?like some of that erik paulson,crazy s#@t:D

[gooch]

how about a tawara gaeshi?

seems like a decent counter to a shoot, and you must have a slick transition for after

Ok leg locks after the throws....man I'm gunna have my work cut out for me.

I have a series that should be able cover a bit of both (rolling attacks to leg locks)

I use them the mostly off of single leg attacks:

1)flying scissor take down to knee bar
2)rolling knee bar
3)corner reversal (sumi gaeshi) to ankle lock
4)log roll attack to over under calf crush.

It's a reversal I've used a few times when a partner has got me down in side control or north/south. I just sort of... roll and flip them and end up on top in side control.

I've only managed it a few times, and I'm not sure what the name is or exactly how it's done. If you know the one I'm talking about, any chance for a video of it?

Hey, I was rolling around with my brother (I was watching the new Earth Bound DVD, too ;D) and I was fooling around with grapevining. I found a submission for it:
From the mount; grapevine right leg, slide off the mount to the left side and wrap left arm under neck and clasp opponents left shoulder to keep the shoulder down on the matt.
I don't think I'm doing it to it's full potential. It kinda seems like a kimura grapevine of sorts because I'm flexing my right leg to raise my brothers foot outward. we tried it back and forth and I found the pressure to actually be affecting the ankle rather the knee or hip. I've been looking around on Submissions 101 for something like it but I can't find any grapevine submissions.

Anyway, just wondering if there is a more precise move that I could improve this concept with? I can upload a video to youtube as soon as my brother comes back home, to show you what the move looks like.

Ide like to request Videos for the best and most effective ways to get out of being mounted. I think it should a big concern to most mma fighters because its a pretty popular position for ground and pound.

AND the proper 10 finger guillotine :D

[Bruce]

Submissions from lock down control. My Jj class isn't 10th Planet, but the instructor sometimes thorws in some moves from the system saying <<No one knows this. Pull it in a comp and the guy's gonna be like wtf>>. SO he showed the Lockdown, as well as the hip up and 2 different sweeps to get to mount. But I find this control really effective, and I'm pretty sure I read that many submissions were possible from just the Lockdown. So yeah, that's my request.

Escape from alcatraz is a very good escape from the mount, because you go from being mounted right into lockdown with double underhooks. It's a solid technique.

[Jer_sm]

i'll have to look that up!

THE BOA!!!! i just watched the overhook vid u recently uploaded and EB mentioned something from half guard called "the boa" now i'm curious:D

[10th Planet Melbourne]

THE BOA!!!! i just watched the overhook vid u recently uploaded and EB mentioned something from half guard called "the boa" now i'm curious:D

The Boa is an option taken from Old school. Instead of taing the instep for the sweep, you body lock your opponent real deep wth your left arm and squeeze real tight. Now all you need to do is get to your knees as per old school and drive into him and take regular side control after the pass with head and arm.

It feels much like the basic pass from the dog fight.
Ari? I have I left anything out??

Peace

Sounds about right. The pain comes because you are constantly crushing the ribs with your arms and then driving them over and they land on your arms. The ribs do take a beating but I haven't drilled it tons yet. Ice packs on stand by!

[Rubberjiu]

I'd like to know some good arm breaks when your opponent is facing belly down. I tried to get an armbar in my first mma match, he was belly down, I soften him up with hammer fists but he fell into my guard. Now that I rewatch the fight on tape I was thinking I could have used the slide technique. But yeah any tips would be appreciated.

is it legal?

[gooch]

is it legal?

under the unified rules knees to the body of a downed opponent are

in the good old days of pride i would just suggest soccer kicks or stomps

[Jer_sm]

totally legal. The only thing you cannot do is knee the head when a guy is not standing. same for kicks.

if the guy is on his knee's or on all 4's you cannot kick or knee the face. but you can knee the body. look at the fight UFC 87 Lesnar vs. Herring... so vicious check out those knee's man...

soccer kick to the head then ghetoo stomp them ?

if you are standing you can kick or knee a opponent on all fours as long as its the body ? (just to be clear)

[Jer_sm]

you cant kick but you can knee the body. if hes on all four. or on his knee's in UFC.

i actually prefer the more axe kick style than the pure wandy stomp, but either will do

knees okay in unified, i don't think you can kick but i'm not sure where they draw the line cause you can kick to the legs when the guy is on his back

[Jer_sm]

acutally here this will be much clearer

Feel free to start another thread about MMA rules so this one can keep easy and to the point (it will allow me to reference better). I will prune this later FYI.

Thanks a bunch!

[Ari Bolden]

Roger. Preston, did you get a change to defend at all or did he just catch you?

[Ari Bolden]

sorry....WTF?

[Tallsilkyslim]

I somehow end up with my arm farthest from him overhooked on his head rather than underhooked around his body. Does that make sense?

[willufc]

Thanks for the body triangle video.

Can you do a video of other ways on how to escape from body triangle?
