Do you have a hard time maintaining mount? Do you let bigger guys sweep you easily when you mount them?
If anyone is qualified to teach about how to get to the mount in Jiu-Jitsu, it’s Roger Gracie. The 10X black belt world champion has made a career out of getting there and subsequently choking the opponent.
In this video, Roger teaches one of his many ways to maintain the mount and reveals all the details for a well-executed technique. Just watch and go practice.
If you like simple and effective old school moves and if you put time into them you can make them extremely effective at high levels. One of the best examples of old school guards and game comes from the 5x Black Belt World champion, Bernardo Faria. Bernardo has long been one of the best competitors there is. Although he is retired, he was able to solidify himself as one of the best competitors ever by using very simple “Old School” techniques.
Bernardo used the over under pass, the half guard, the deep half guard, and good old fashioned wrestling to beat some of the top competitors in the world time and time again. If you want to learn some techniques from him check out his new DVD set “Foundation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu“ which is also available as a 6 part digital download. This set is one of the best examples of the fundamentals of bjj.
