This is great to hear as a newcomer to bjj. A lot of times I get frustrated or embarrassed that I have been hand fighting for a while and I just attempt a fruitless trip or sweep without prioritizing getting good grips. It’s the equivalent of sitting in traffic with cars behind you and feeling compelled to pull out in front of an oncoming car because you feel like you have sat in place for too long: Dangerous and stupid.

Very nice - loved the brief demo at the end - would have looked great in slo-mo.

That right there believe it or not is where Tai Chi push hands could be very effective.

Emily & Stephan, thanks for another great video!

Nice. Very useful.

Awesome :D Please keep posting more concepts about BJJ and Grappling. I find that I learn heaps faster when I am taught why or how it works as opposed to solely learning the technique!

Very nicely explained. Thank you.

I'm not sure if there are any inside ankle picks demonstrations on KZread but I will post if I see a good one thanks for your time and thank you for the video once again great advice

I just started watching your videos and wow. This is some really good information. Big thumbs up to Emily Kwok. You are very personable on film and have good clear explanations.

True Emily Kwok is very good teacher! I would like more videos!

Hey, I actually like this video. I'm a Judoka so I can tell you that having Judo in your repertoire would really help you with not just good take downs but good throws as well. These are kind of Judo-light instructions compared to what you would get in my Judo class which does teach No Gi Judo.

Excellent! And I love sister warriors! Very good instructional video. :) Thanx!

Stephan I've been learning a lot from your videos and I've applied a lot of techniques in practice because of it, I'm still knew to the sport though and my next tournament for no gi is coming up my question is what"s your opinion on wearing wrestling shoes to a no gi tournament?

In other words, add in some basic wrestling to your jiu-jitsu game and fight for the dominant tie up, which makes a lot of sense--if you want dominant position on the ground, why not in the clinch? On a side note, it is interesting how similar grip fighting looks to chi sao, push hands, etc. "Trapping" seems to just be a stylized form of parrying and grip fighting that was designed for a time when people fought differently and/or has become overly aestheticized with the passing of time.

Also, the singe leg leg when the guy has your wrist is still there, your downward leg grabbing motion will be stronger than the guy's wrist grabbing, lifting motion.

The concept of my tie or no tie is excellent. However, her extension is kind of simplistic if you have a more developed wrestling game. The whizzer can be stronger than the underhook if you have a good whizzer game, and especially if you have a good Uchi/Harai game. Even if you just whizzer hard you can cause the guy to faceplant and when he postures up, take the guillotine. Or if he doesn't posture, just drive him over and take side control.

I am a very skilled wrestler and a GJJ practitioner takedowns are all about level change in shooting singles and doubles to look for a throw always starts with wrist control say you shoot on your opponent but his sprawl is just too good that is when an inside ankle pick really comes in handy rotating leg towards you pull up on foot one hand have other hand behind knee and drive head into knee all at same time but leg must be rotated by lifting back of ankle do all in one motion

In my opinion, this concept of gaining dictatorial control before you attack applies every throughout grappling. I think that we need to stop thinking along the lines of "position before submission", (its to linear and outdated) and start thinking along the lines of "control then attack".

If you are going to discuss tie-ups, you should incorporate head position, as it is far more important.

@ralph folarin No GI is very different. In judo there are grips and controls on the GI. No-gi involves none of this.

hey stephan! I have a hard time defending the spider guard... I feel too controlled in there! Tips?

Take steps back

This can be applied to more than just Martial arts :)

👍

NOGI still has grips and controls... they just don't have a vocabulary like they do in judo. It all applies you just have to translate it.

I have. Gracie Open.

shoulda had some metal blastin in the background of dat last part dancing...

Not bad. I'm going to practcie some ti, no ti swiming drills.

Its like chess, play your own game, not the opponents.

You would never say that to her in person.

I fell like 1:26-1:40 can refer to a lot of other things

Last scene looked like something out of dragonball z

If you want to learn about tie ups and wrist control..probably should go see a wrestling coach.

Easier said than done.

Learn the theory of how Judo works... so you won't have to think about "if i don't have FULL control, i lose"

I love all your stuff, but that last section with ya'll hand fighting was REALLY freakin sloppy, was more of just smacking hands then actually fighting for inside control.

Original UFC , Royce Gracie. Cant argue with success. Peace be with you.

What is no gi?

Cristian Lopez Yeah, I kind of figured it out a little while later. I had been reading it as "G.I."

i was there homie check out my videos

The problem with these instructional videos is that these scenarios are based on assuming that your opponent will have martial arts training, and follow the rules. But in a real fight your opponent's not gonna play fair, they will slap, bite and scratch if it means they win the fight...

The problem with your dumbass is missing the overarching theme of this video = competitive grappling. Not "self defense"

I think Michael Jackson taught this technique at the start of his BAD video....

Not if he's a lot stronger.

Spoken like a wrestler who has never run into a Judoka. Take downs have a lot more to do with technique. Wrestlers & BJJ guys have almost none. All of my kids train with BJJ, MMA, & wrestlers and even my girls throw guys who have 50 lbs on them. All coaches who know them yell "sit down" to their ppl as soon as they notice who they're fighting. Gracie was a fool to remove the standing part of judo. On the street it ends fights instantly. gravesjudo(dot)com
