3 SUBMISSIONS & a Back Take from BOTTOM Side Control

[RJ Encizo]

Doesn't sound douchey at all to me. Ive already brought up the example of Telles and him turning the Turtle into the Turtle Guard. Why not have an offensive position from bottom side. Guys def arent going to expect it unless they know you. I think you're on to something and I'm def going to play with it when I get a chance.

Would love to see some of your free rolls using this type of game.

I'm starting my training for the nogi pans next week, and I'll definitely start uploading rolls on my youtube.

Yup. Kill in comp before you post is a general rule. I looked for tournie footage as well. Got any?

My competition season is starting June 29, with naga and then I have 4 more leading up to the nogi Pans. I'll film a lot. I've never really been one to film my tourneys (bc I started competing in the expert divisions after training 9 months and was afraid to watch myself get injured like a little pussy), but I have golds from naga, grapplers quest, good fight , and local nonsense. My last tourney was a NAGA, where I lost a draw to Waylon Lowe. I think my team mate has half of that match. I'll find out and upload it. I definitely dont want to come off like a FRAUD who doesnt compete. Sorry. I'll have my match against waylon up soon, or definitely a lot of footage over the summer, and some training rolls so you can see it live.

Bump

[Ben Eddy]

Thanks for the bump, that's an interesting detail. Are you still playing with this brent?

[Sam Davis]

I do this stuff a lot in rolling. I love that arm bar and triangle. I don't use inverted or the back take, but I use these ideas to do other things.

I am i haven't been for awhile but i started playing with it lately. I had to relook this video up because I couldn't remember all the details but this cleared some things up for me.
So that last couple weeks I've been playing with things like this. Putting myself in terrible positions trying to turn them into offensive positions. Mostly bottom side control, empty half guard, and I think it's called flat half guard (top guy has head and arm like they're going for a no hand pass). Jiu Jitsu is beautiful there's no need to follow all the rules

I like this vid alot. A grip of my game is similar movements to these with similar control points I hit the armbar and triangle often. Thanks for the vid bro, I think ill get alot of value out of the details and concepts provided. Can't wait to try that grip combo, seems strong -- normally im doing one on hip one on bicep, or more often double on bicep since 2xbicep often turns their away so their weight gets posted on the other arm making it easier to armbar or head looking away a little making it easier to triangle.

Started playing with the elbow in technique tonight with the guys. Seems to be a very good way to get and keep space in bottom side. We'll see how this works out, definitely liking it so far. Thanks for the video.

I've been playing with this first technique - the armbar from the bottom - the problem I find is that I can get the elbow in, no problem, I can bump then up to get the knee in - no problem - but anybody who knows a little jiu jitsu can tell the danger of the knee being in and postures up to knee on belly so you don't get time to get the leg over their head. Got a solution to that?

[RJ Encizo]

I'm confused by how they are transitioning to knee on belly, when you have the knee sheild

[Brent Smith]

I'm not picturing how the knee on belly is happening unless you're going slow motion for the technique....?
