Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - BJJ Grappling Defense 101 (Driving the Head)

- http://www.OGGrapplingDefense101.com If you could have some simple, effective, and very quickly to implement Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Defensive Grappling Techniques (from standing down to the ground) that would frustrate and shut down your opponent's offensive attacks, would you be interested in implementing them into your grappling game?

Of course, you would because I've learned that defense is rarely focused on in BJJ and so often overlooked by many grapplers. And when I say defense, I don't mean to "hold on and wait" until the round is over!

When I think of defense in BJJ or submission grappling, that means:

- Having the ability to shut down your opponent's advances
- Creating angles and targets of opportunity
- Recognizing those angles and targets and exploiting those holes in your opponent's offensive defense to seize the upper hand and positions

That's what defense means to me and that's what you'll discover in the first video on how I use the "Driving the Head" Concept from the guard to reverse the position to secure the knee-on-belly. I originally talked about "Driving the Head" in one of my closed guard tip videos on my website and most OGs should be familiar with it, but in this video, I added more "functional" details with the technical explanation.

But if you're hearing about it for the first time, watch the video, post a comment telling me if you liked or hated the video, and try it class the next chance you get. You'll be AMAZED at how easy it works for you.

I do agree with controlling your opponent's head.

But why is your opponent playing the wrist-grab game when he is in your guard ? He should be posturing up, and focusing on breaking/passing your guard, rather than reaching forward to wrist grab.

Just keeping it real.

[thewisegrappler]

the reason he's not doing what you suggested is because he's doing a wrist control concept that i teach from the guard that will make it easier for him to pass. he has the posture and the wrist grabbing will force the guy on the bottom to stop whatever he's doing to free his arms. i didn't teach that concept that day, but my uki works with me a lot and did what the average joe in the guard won't do. try it sometimes and then tell me how it works for you.

@cburcinc thewisegrappler(I won't mention his real name w/o his permission) is one of the best guys I've ever trained with or under and is 110% right. Plus, the wrist grab makes standing passes easier since you need the sleeve anyway I use that wrist grip all the time. Watching this takes me back.

The two star rating someone gave was harsh. This is a good self defense concept not nessessarily a game technique.

[cburcinc]

Thanks for the explanation.

I do no-gi, so the wrist grab game is less predominant for me.

In general, in no-gi, I try and never let my hands be superior to my opponent's belly button when I am in his closed guard.

But again, I totally agree with the critical importance of controlling your opponent's head.

Thanks for sharing your excellent vids !
