BJJ Match Breakdown: No-Gi Grappling Analysis (Reid Reale)

Sometimes that doesn't work sometimes they just get the guard back and I start again like now. But at least it every time I do this I'm gathering more and more information and I'm learning how they move. Sometimes in competitions you don't have that much time but it's good when you have a match with someone that you're quite confident against because you can start really working on this. It makes it a lot easier.

I'm going to turn that noise off in the background so it's a little bit easier if you hear me. So once again I get this under hook I'm trying to apply I'm trying to attach myself to his upper body and then pass the legs and see I didn't have good attachment to his upper body so it's harder and I needed to force something out. It's a really good example of like if I'm trying to cheat the pass by not really attaching myself to his upper body then I'm not going to pass a lot of the time and I'm just going to spend energy and also going to telegraph you what I was doing. But this time I'm able to push my way past and block that leg with my knee which is always a fun way to stop them from recovering.

Most people are always going to push your chest away and try and bring a knee back in so if you can block those knees from coming back in then it doesn't matter if they're pushing your chest away or if you can stop them from pushing your chest away they can't bring the knees back in. Here I take the mount position and I have a nice under hook I lock my arms together to try and keep good maximum leverage and I'm trying to set something up right now. I don't know what that is I'm kind of figuring it out. I sit over the top of one of his arms so he's got one in one arm in now and it's frozen no it's still going okay and I'm looking at trying to secure a triangle position or an omoplata.

I know if he's going to roll and I can't get the triangle I can at least omoplata him but I definitely would like to see a triangle from here so I'm trying to grab my own legs going to try and lock that up like a bolt lock which is usually the opposite end of the triangle instead of locking my left foot under my right knee I lock my my right foot under my left knee. So now I'm going to try and get it nice and tight and get deeper on him which basically I'm getting now but I also need to pull his other arm across to try and yeah so I'm starting to try and pull that up and I'm going to try and roll and lock this. I get the catch and I switch straight to the omoplata but it doesn't it's not super tight I really need to reach around his back and try and block him from rolling see I because I left the back he can roll away and I could see that without even knowing what was going to happen then but I get the pass and I try to do I was trying to be opportunistic and trying to take attack his back as he rolled to his stomach but I kind of got halfway there and missed it but I'm still in a good position to be able to pass. We're fighting for an underhook right there I'm going under his leg now instead like a lot of the time I'll try and get the underhook under his arm but I can't so I'll go the leg.

He gets an underhook on the leg trying to keep him flat I don't want him to come up on that leg because then he can start attacking. Now I have that underhook on my right arm again now I'm going to be in much better position to start really attaching myself to his upper body and passing as you can see I did once again and then once again he's my knee to jam his body now he tried to recover by rolling away first and he's giving me his back and this is a very bad position for him because now I have one grip in I have the hooks and I'm going to apply the choke and this is my favorite way to submit anyone is always during a transition whenever they're trying to roll or escape or reach in too far I'm always going to try and get a submission in that moment rather than trying to force something on as I I've told you guys before you want to be like the the lion that hunts the gazelle it gets low in the grass it sneakily gets up there close while the gazelles just distract to get as close as you can to that submission and then bang attack it and it's very good if you use that as a you know in a metaphoric sense where you imagine that their focus is them escaping or trying to do something so they're distracted and that's when you can strike the most easily rather than going to a mount and them knowing that they've got one exit and then you're trying to force something on
