Lloyd Irvin's Micro Transitional Drilling System Explained

[Jack LaBarge]

Lloyd Irvin explains his transitional drilling system and demonstrates 2 of these systems 1. for a clock choke and 2. for a back attack finish

That was fantastic

Every time he says "TRANSITIONAL" take a drink.

That was an amazing video.. I'm definitely going to have to rethink how I approach submissions.

Interesting video. Unfortunately the examples he gave were strictly gi and based off of the sheer number of extra handles in Gi grappling, I'd guess there are WAY more of these micro transitions designed for Gi grappling as opposed to nogi

I think the overall point of the video was to demonstrate how to develop gaming strategies during drills. His examples just demonstrate how to discover common defensive errors during the transition, and how to isolate and drill a specific grip setup in that narrow transitional window in order to exploit a specific deficiency in your opponent. The moves are arbitrary as are the potential grip options.. it's more about hyper training a setup through a transitional opening that is brief and rarely defended properly by most people.

Perfect explaination.

We have drills in our system like this as well. Maybe we could get more detailed but that is what we are doing when we practice flying kung fu move. It just doesn't seem comparable because it has a name.

[Ryan Brick]

He waits until the tipping point when he know the move will work 100% and then immediatly switches for the submission No wasted steps

Think bigger picture. The examples of the clock choke and the arm-in ezekiel choke were just the examples he picked because Keenan just tapped out Sinistro with those 2 moves at IBJJF Atlanta the other weekend.

The principle can be applied in any context. The idea is to find your own transitions and drill the shit out of them. If you're good at getting your forearm under their neck to start the RNC as you're taking the back before your second hook flies in, drill that transition, as a no-gi example of what was shown in this video.
