Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Drills

Here is another Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu drill. For this jiu-jitsu drill you will need a partner. Shows some good drills for guard passing, footwork, taking the back etc... Good drills for hip mobility and just overall bjj movement patterns. I would add this into a beginners training without a doubt. Hell when I found this I found my wife and started doing the drill. Enjoy the music that comes with it.

Submissions from the Guard Week

This triangle choke is set up from the spider guard. I have had the opportunity to hit the triangle from the spider guard and is very effective way to set it up. The video then moves on to setting up the triangle choke when your opponent is trying to pass your guard. I own the Demian Maia Science of Jiu-Jitsu and recommend it to anyone. He breaks down jiu jitsu so well.

Scissors Sweep

This is one of the most basic sweeps and is taught to all beginners in jiu-jitsu. Its tough to get at first and you will get stuck half way through the move at times but keep practicing and you will hit it on people. The best bet is to use it with combinations that usually catches your opponent off guard. Rodrigo Gracie shows us the intricacies of this sweep. You may have seen in a small mma promotion called Pride a few years back. Enjoy!

Happy weekend!! Here on the Northeast of the U.S. looks like we will e snowed in for the night. So I will be going to train some Muay Thai today. But here is a video from Mario Sperry. MArio Sperry is co-founder of Brazilian Top Team and trained under Carlson Gracie. Here he shows us how to break the Spider Guard grip and pass the open guard.

Passing the Guard Week

Guard passing week continues. Today you get a special three guard passes in one video. As you can see controlling the opponent's gi pants and getting a nice tight grip is essential. I have found in my training that the slightest error in footwork here can get you caught in half guard. You may have improved your position but you want to advance to side control with these passes.

Saulo Ribeiro Opening the Guard

This is great. Saulo Ribero is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt. He is the owner of Jiu-Jitsu University, which is also the name of the book he published. The book helps with many techniques. As for this video Ribeiro shows us how to open the opponents guard. Always helpful before we attempt to pass ones guard.

Passing the Guard

Check out this first video of the week on passing the guard. This guard passing technique is one of my favorites. The explanation is pretty good especially when the brown belt explains the technique in great detail. Try this guard pass you will see that it works. And no I did not spell favorited out.

Passing the Guard Week

For the rest of the week here at Jiu-Jitsu Education we will focus on passing the guard. Enjoy the clips and learn as much as you can.
