Libyan: Hi, I’m Libyan from NYBJJ and I’m here with my instructor Marco Santos. And we’re going to go over some techniques that work better from men versus better for women, some that needed to be modified for smaller individuals such as myself. The first one we’re going to go over is a triangle choke and go over how it suppose to look for two guys that may have longer leg and therefore able to get their legs over the person’s shoulder.
Now, for me sometimes I have a problem because my legs are shorter, so I’m not able to get the triangle choke across the men’s shoulders.
Marco: I know exactly what your problem is. Now, I’m going to help you to your problem. I just wanted to know sometimes guys are too strong to get to their shoulder. All you have to do you’re going to grab inside the corner, use your right hand deeper, deeper. And you trap him now between your legs, this arm between your legs pushing in your legs, good. You want to strip tightening up for the triangle, so with the triangle.
Now, what we have to do, you lock. If you cannot get it, full triangle and you have the foot behind the knee because you have short legs and the guy is so strong. This will call the half triangle. But I want you keep this ideal, you have for the full triangle, tight and squeeze. You measure it like one—the inch by inch, step by step, squeeze as you can. You’ve got good sanity low but your head signs make it tired. It’s harder for me to resist in the choke.
That’s now one good race you can do the tremble choke and your hand inside the quarter. But you cannot forget, keep the legs tight as you can, as you use this, this lock and you’re going to have a full triangle and the foot behind the knee, you get your foot behind the cap. Squeeze as tight as you can with your hand in this corner.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: Right, let’s do it one more time. Turn right there, you go across right here, good. As you lock right there, I want you to just go back, squeeze it as you can, great.
Libyan: I have problem with the figure four because sometimes I’m just not able to muscle down the guy’s arm, as I have now.
Marcos: Basically, look more to a Jui Jitsu, be specific of—in the position to take you to Jui Jitsu.
Libyan: Okay, so one that works for me.
Marcos: Yeah, what works for you—but I would like you to know, you would go to one position, like this. Right, I want you to loosen up a little bit—of course notice sometimes between, that should be better to push that aside when you get loss—I’m going to show you right now.
Now, what do you find with this, you hide like behind the hand as you fight right here, triangle that is resist. I want you to slide this hand and sculpt underneath his neck, switch to the other hand, switch the hand right there. Now, squeeze the cross, switch the hand, and switch the hand.
Libyan: So once this is really tight.
Marcos: Yeah. Well, also you can go to—from here, you can go right to your wrist, and press your elbow down, yeah, so just squeeze like this. With this, hold your right hand, yes.
Libyan: Okay. So that works for me.
Marcos: Yeah, that works for you. He’s very a strong, and just go to a choke. There’s so much strength to hold because to the triangle course, the oxygen to the ground, just squeeze that. Maybe we take like—two seconds to, couple minutes to choke it out. But take off the oxygen to his brain. He’s going to have to—he’s going to press out.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: So the muscle is deep, he would resist it, put a very strong and try to fight it back. But through the next, it’s very, very hard. It was do to any bang. It maybe existed in hard one, but stopping the oxygen, deal by deal is going to direct no running—the car is going to stop—he’s going to come attack. He has no more oxygen onto his brain or he’s going to tap out or he’s going to press out.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: One or both, right.
Libyan: This one works for me because it does—this is no strength.
Marcos: This is no strength at all. He doesn’t need to remove his uniform because it’s your own advantage. Now, let’s try one more time.
[Demonstration]
You imagine like you have a rope. This should be your rope, this is called your rope. You tweak it to his arm and you tweak your hand—
[Demonstration]
Libyan: And it’s quick too.
Marcos: And it’s quick too. But again, sometimes guess who’s very strong. You can touch by a fight to this. If you have the course that you have right now, tight and do control. It’s the amount of time you want to tap or he’s going to press out.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: What would be your next problem? Right there—push the pressure against your chest. This hand right here, reach over his shoulder—like this or sometimes you can just grab like this.
Why do this grab the shoulder, because the shoulder be good for you because he tried to get his portion it would be very hard because now, you’re not just holding on his shoulder. How much do you weight?
Libyan: 135.
Marcos: 135, imagine you’re going to try it getting up. You’re going to have to hold 135 pounds from his shoulder because that’s how much you weight. It would be very hard for me to choose a lot of muscle. In between this transition, it’s our resist to get out. That’s now you’re going to attack in and getting off court. And try to push right over—change the angle—
As you cross your legs, now like I see you’re doing, it will be easy for me to defend because your knee—whether it’s good, but your hips is too low—hips to hips, hips to hips—look it how it is. You know you just—you just have to reach one of your hips unless matriculate by the person do to that, they come to here where they started great but they stopped here again where there is the hips that giving your chest to stock.
Now, if it’s stocked—as you cross your legs here and as you do hips to hips and sometime, yes. Don’t get over to your chest so that it doesn’t stock you.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: It always stocked you. So as you cross your legs, where you have hips to hips, and push your foot up, push your foot up, push your foot down. And sometimes, you want to kick of this leg down, don’t give any chest—to stock you. As you lift to the hips, you push your leg down, push your leg down, push your leg down, yes. A lot time you do it like here—position, and from the beginning.
I want to folks to attack your hand right there as you cross your legs, hips by hips and push your legs down. He losses his balance, yes, a lot of time too as you get here—when you push him or press, he losses his balance.
So here sometimes you don’t have to loss balance like though, the pain, how much pressure you’re going to push for your legs. You put like you most you’re kicking with his leg and giving his chest to stock you. If it losses it balance, it can give the same one more.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: Right, that was good.
Libyan: So my last question Marcos is if I’m on my back and someone larger than is attacking, because I can’t muscled them to the ground necessarily, would me coming forward, so what’s my other technique right now?
Marcos: Just stock in the ground—as you on the ground now, keep your legs up, right. When he comes to attack you, I want to keep your foot right here, must important right now. And as you pull your foot right here, and once you push him back where he can walk away—
You’re giving him a chance like he’d lay his feet, he’s having a position of technique that gets you then you’re going to apply the technique while you’re using your techniques. I have a lateral, forward—you’re going to let it come across, hold his weight through your legs, so what you have right now because your leg is very strong.
And as he come forward right now, you’re going to let it to come forward. You’re going to stretch the legs using ladders to reverse—position.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: So you get him on position now, good.
Libyan: So I’m still in danger here a little bit.
Marcos: Yeah, because he tries to push it towards you. You can go from onward. Yes, good job, good job. Push like that, very good. I want to show this sweep again, please.
Libyan: This one is good because it doesn’t matter how big—
Marcos: It doesn’t how big he is—then he had to be straight. Basically, you have to—of your legs—to hold his leg, it was—and he comes forward, and it takes over. And he comes forward right now—so you stretch your legs, it could be like that—
Libyan: And I have just to remember to keep this one.
Marcos: Now, that—you don’t have to just fight like this against each other. He comes up to you, you push, he pushed back. It’s back. It’s better that he comes to you but he can do whatever he want but never do what you like. Then you change—apply the technique that you can use ladders.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: Like you just do right now. You try to resist and push him and just go away. And if you let him come, you’re setting it up so you have to throw away, what he’s going to his strength against him—brought to your legs as he comes forward. You just let your legs take over.
Libyan: Okay, so he’s bringing his weight to me. Again, he’s going to use it against me but I use it against him with the momentum.
Marcos: That’s it.
Libyan: Okay.
Marcos: Thank you Marcos. So those are just a few technique that work better for men who are equal size and then the way we modify them for two different size individuals such as myself against Chuvini who’s obviously larger than me. So from all of us at NYBJJ, thank you for watching and thank you for Marcos Santos.
Marcos: You’re welcome.
