Fightin’ Bigger Folks Week 10

This week you will be introduced... or reintroduced to the concept of takedowns moving directly into footlocks, from your takedowns.  Eariler in the program I gave you a Knee Separator and a Modified Inside Heel hook directly off of a takedown. Those were low percentage moves in truth... but I figured you'd like them.  The Footlocks and set-ups will do nothing but go up in Average Percentage of Success from this point forward.

This next one is not the easiest to catch, but it hits quick and it's very brutal depending on how you apply it.

Reaping your opponent to a bitter end... of the fight.  Not his life or anything; it's not that serious.

Back to the Ground Game....

Part of being able to maintain a top position involves keeping constant downward pressure on your opponent.  This keeps him in place, ideally flat on his back; and will allow you to press his legs to the floor as you pass into your dominant position.

The following drill is just a way to build your "Jiu Jitsu Athelticism", and also get you into the habit of moving around downward pressure.

This is a fun little drill that will get you good at pinning your opponents legs to scamper around them... but more importantly for our purposes, you will build snappy kick-throughs to slide into dominant positions.

Since you're developing skill in moving to Dominant Positions...

It makes perfect logical sense to build a series of High Percentage, and Ruinous attacks from this position.  Here's one you've most likely never seen before.

A little bit of awareness can lead you to to a very quick fight finish from your nice snug dominant position.

If you're Submissions aren't working right off the bat,

Just bust the guy up a little bit; or a lot, if you're not careful.  The following is a truly messy attack.

The ugliest side of ground and pound can be truly horrific.  I know I use crazy terms like "diabolical" or "face-altering" or "nose-shattering" but in some cases those terms are literally accurate.

If you're familiar with all of your striking options,

You will be able to consistently progress towards the Win, regardless of your level of Jiu Jitsu skill.

This move is one of the most brutal and quick-to-injury submission moves that you will ever learn.

Key Takeaways:

In the Realm of Footwork:

The ability for you to 'Freestyle' your movement is ridiculously important.

Sometimes do it 'in place'... without moving your feet.
Sometimes express yourself via lateral movement and angle changes in conjunction with your head movement.
Sometimes start slips and then abandon them.  Have a little fun with it.

Horse Stance

Is a great way to build strength and flexibility in your legs.  This will make it easy for you to drop down into your thighs to get underneath punches, without taxing your groin or hamstrings.

Your feet remain parallell
Pull your tailbone underneath you, trying to point your hypothetical D up at the ceiling
Sink down until it hurts... and stay there.

U Slip Plyometrics

...will use your downward force when 'landing' to trick your body into firing a more powerful counter movement on the way back up.  The more powerfully you fire your muscles, the more power you shall build.


When combined with Horse Stance, this is one of the best ways to make your U-Slips effortlessly powerful.

If the following doesn’t make sense to you, watch this video on Slipping to the Left on your Left vs Right Foot.

Straight Slips

On these slips, you will move only one of your feet.  You will bounce that foot immediately back to your stance.

Your will be transferred to the foot on the same side that your head is slipping.  So, if your is moving to the left, your weight will be transferred into the left foot.

More Straight Slips

On the following slips, you will move BOTH of your feet, thus bringing your entire stance underneath you... instead of just bouncing the foot back to your stance.

If you are slipping to the LEFT, you will take a LEFT then RIGHT replacement step.  (Don't "Overdrag" your step.  Keep a nice wide base)!
