Fight Tactics

Here is another good video from the guys at Train Fight Win. Its a unique way of doing the scissor sweep from side mount, I have actually used this technique and it works pretty well. If you can’t get back into gaurd its a good a neat little trick to try.

Hey guys, yes its been a very long time. I was out of the grappling field and training for motocross, but now since the racing season is over, I pretty much got back into grappling and I wanted to start updating with side mount escapes for white belts like me that might need it

Here is a video of a really basic and probably the first side mount escape that you will learn. It has pretty good detail from the guys at train, fight, win.

Here is a very cool clip of a BJ Penn doing some rolling with Leo Vieira. I actually know somebody that went to his seminars and they learned a lot. It was mostly mma related, but it was great. So check this one out and maybe you guys can learn something from it. Good luck BJ at UFC 80 Rapid Fire against Joe Stevenson!

Since Dean Listler just won at UFC 79, I found a video of him doing demo for a triangle choke from the guard.

So Dean starts from his back on the mats, with his opponent (Jimmy) in his guard. Dean then shows us how to move your body properly to do the triangle properly so you don’t get slammed, stacked, punched and you can pull off an arm-lock from that angle (with his feet crossed).

NOTE: Some people actually teach not to cross your feet, but it looks alright from this position. I was told that what you are on top doing an arm bar, when you cross your feet, you lose power in keeping your thighs tight against your opponents arms.

I was thinking of what my first post should be and then I thought, like with anything, start with the basics. Also, since George St. Pierre (14-2-0) is fighting at Matt Hughes (41-5-0) at UFC® 79 Nemesis, why not get him to show a demo?

So George starts in the mount position, he keeps his upper body low and works his knee’s up under his opponents armpit and goes directly into the S-mount. Then George holds his opponents head up as he drives his left foot under the opponents head. This makes it very tight and very hard for the opponent to get out. From this position, George can choke out his opponent, and the only way his opponent can get out his by pushing him back. Which results in Rush taking his arm and leaning forward for the armbar. George mentions that leaning back will be a mistake and you should lean forward to finish the submission because the gravity is causing the joint to go down and as a result he gets a tap.
