Grappling Fundamentals for MMA<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

An If-This-Then-That style approach to grappling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never want to be stuck in a position thinking “I’ve absolutely no idea what I’m doing” (which happens a lot)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always best to learn basic positions and escapes before elaborate submissions, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP THINGS 4 ME TO REMEMBER <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Frame on your own headed go for bicep ctrl on bottom, side control. (This helps prevent a choke)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stand up when doing the reach around sprawl counter (makes it harder to flip or pancake you)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lock guillotine in before falling back. Might need to scoot bum back a bit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scrambles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep elbows tucked and hands ‘inside’<\/strong> when establishing position to avoid kimuras & triangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep one knee up to avoid closed guard (Combat Base<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Chin Tucked when on knees<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>(look to the side\/backwards) & keep an arm in the way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When flipped or bridged – use momentum & bridge & roll opponent in the same direction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This momentum-stealing also works if someone flips your legs over to pass guard or pushes them to the side or with a wrestler’s pancake<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You generally want to frame on one arm and stop the underhook on the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n
