In this match we can see a small guy, a wrestler, in a grappling match against a powerlifter who weights more than 300 lbs.
We can see that wrestler is having a huge problems with anything he tries on a huge guy. What do you think how good would some BJJ practitioner do against a someone this size? Would submissions do any difference or not at all?

The best way to get in shape for BJJ and combat sports in general is still yet to be discovered. With the rise of technology and better understanding of the human body, new training methods arise every day. This overflow of information, that is available to everyone, leads to a phenomenon known as paralysis by analysts. namely, the more you look into things, the less you will know. So, applying Occam’s razor here, going back to the simplest answer is usually the best option. In regard to peak physical condition for fighting, there are a few methods that have produced fearsome fighters in history. Bodyweight training, moving heavy objects and running, apart from the combat sport are the tried and tested methods that work. As far as bodyweight training goes, it is best to stick with stuff that give you the most bang for your buck. Enter the bear crawl.
The bear crawl is a seemingly simple exercise that has huge importance for grapplers in particular. It requires coordination, upper body strength, core strength and quite the gas tank to perform. Unlike many of other exercises it can be easily added to a an existing strength and conditioning plan without negative impact. Another important aspect of the exercise is that it can be done as a solo drill, no partner required.
Think of the bear crawl like a traveling plank. For the position you need to have only your palms and your feet on the ground. The arms should be shoulder width apart with the feet hip width apart. The butt should be the highest point of the body, and the eyes should be directed forward.
In order to bear crawl successfully, you need to propel yourself forward from the basic position. If your right hand goes first, then your left foot should be the next to follow, before your left hand and right foot. While crawling forward, make sure you maintain a rigid and neutral torso. The directions of the bear crawl are unlimited – you can go forward and/or backwards as well as sideways. Hell, you could even give diagonal bear crawls a try if you’re in the mood to experiment.
In terms of benefits gained from incorporating the bear crawl (and other crawls, for that matter) into your routine, it would be an understatement to say that there are plenty. Apart from being able to use it anywhere, without any equipment, the bear crawl will make you incredibly strong. Primarily, it works the core through anti-extension. About two dozen muscles in the core resist the motions of rotation and flexion, thus increasing stability as well as strength. Apart from the core, all upper and lower body muscles get a real workout. It includes the chest, triceps, shoulders, traps, glutes, quads, you name it.
As far as conditioning is concerned, going fro a crawl beats going for a run. Just choose a distance to crawl over and get on all fours! You’ll soon discover that moving your bodyweight across the floor in a crawling manner is far more difficult than running about. Your lungs will be screaming for a break after just a few sets.
Crawling benefits the body in more than just conditioning. Bear crawls allow your body to work in a reaching pattern which is far scarcer than you might think. Reaching activates the anterior serratus muscle, allowing for flexion of the thorax. In terms of spinal health, it allows for the strengthening of the spinal musculature while revealing pressure between the vertebrae. Coordination is another huge benefit, especially for combat athletes. Both hand eye coordination and total body coordination are worked, particularly during multi directional crawls. Crawls also make your CNS more efficient, strengthening neural connections and enabling more work to be done with less energy.
In order to get a complete workout with just crawls, the bear walk requires a little bit of help. It’s opposite side cousin, the crab walk, is the exercise to provide such assistance. The crab walk is set up by sitting down on the ground and positioning your arms behind you, shoulder width apart. From there, lift up your belly by engaging your core and glutes to reach the crab walk position. From there, it is the same movement pattern (opposite arm – opposite leg) as with the bear walk. Furthermore, the crab walk can also be performed in multiple directions.
This crawling drill works all the opposite muscles of the bear walk, engaging the back and posterior chain along with the core. These two crawling exercises complement each other perfectly, providing a full body functional workout in minimal time and with no equipment needed.
Here is a very practical workout that you can throw in virtually anywhere. It can be used as a warmup before conditioning or class, as a workout on its own, or as a finisher after a hard rolling session. Just make sure to dial the intensity and/or volume up or down depending on when you’re using it.
You can either go for distance or time. The length of a BJJ gym is a good place to start. Start by bear walking the length of the gym forward, and returning backwards. Switch your bear crawl for a crab walk and go straight back across, before returning via a backward crab walk. Now you can rest, or if you’re brave enough, go for another set, crawling sideways with both variations, this time.
It seems like that overly aggressive PT teacher back in elementary school was actually doing you a favor by making you bear crawl or crab walk the length of the gymnasium. If only you’d listened to him, you would’ve been a beast by now. It’s not too late, though. Get crawling!
Keep Rollin’!
The fight between Gabi Garcia and Shinobu Kandori was canceled due to Gabi Garcia’s weight miss. Gabi Garcia (4:0) weighted 12 kg (28 lbs) over the weight limit and that was enough for RIZIN officials to cancel the fight.
After the “circus” that happened with Shinobu Kandori yelling at the weigh ins and Gabi Garcia’s attacking of Shinobu in her locker room Gabi was forced to step in the ring inside Saitama Super Arena in Japan. She was forced to apologize for her overweight.
Only a few moments before Gabi Garcia started speaking she became very emotinal. She fought back the tears explaining what was wrong with her weight. She shaid that she had medical problems, high blood pressure, nose bleeding etc.
Gabi Garcia said:
“This is the first time this happened in my life. The weeks before the fight. On my first training here i had blood pressure problems and my nose was bleeding and that’s the reason I can’t but weight. I have many problems. I respect my opponent. She’s a legend here and I’m so sad. I cry a lot because this is the first time I didn’t enter arena. I entered through the back.”
After Garcia speech Gabi and kandori shooked hands. Kandori spoke how dissapointed she is with the situation. Garcia apologized one more time promising to come back and fix everything up.
“Thank you Japan I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. Looking for next year, i’ll be back more strong. Everybody pass through problems in their life. I’m normal human, I respect you guys and I love fighting here. I’m so sorry Japan. This is my fault and I love you guys”
Gabi Garcia 12 kg Over Limit on Weigh Ins – Kandori started Yelling “This is Disgrace”
Everything about the fight between Gabi Garcia and Shinobu is getting even worse.
A bit before this fight Gabi Garcia was 12 kg over the limit what made Shinobu Kandori go crazy at the weigh ins. She started screaming saying “this is a disgrace”. It came to a point where Rizin’s director Nobuyuki Sakakibara said “Competition-wise, we cannot make this happen”. You can check everything about the weigh ins HERE.

Jiu Jitsu Guy With No Takedown Skills in a Street Fight – FAIL
Omoplata is a very powerful and versatile technique if you know how to execute it and use it as submission and a sweep. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches us how to solve problems through the application of previously gained knowledge. True knowledge is not reflected by the number of facts we know, but rather by the way we manage to string them together. This statement applies perfectly to BJJ. As long as we know how to connect different positions and moves, we can build an adaptable game. Despite having an endless maze of techniques and concepts, Jiu-Jitsu has but a few techniques that transcend technical categories. One such diverse technique is the Omoplata.
The Omoplata is a technique that pretty much embodies the idea of constant threats during fluid movement. It’s much more than just a shoulder lock (which is what the term ‘Omaplata’ means in Portuguese). It has the ability to work as a submission, a sweep, or a transition towards other positions or submissions. It is a complete system placed in a single technique. As such, it is an invaluable tool in any grappler’s toolbox.
Although now famous as one of the very basic BJJ techniques, it has far deeper roots. Originally, it was known as Ashi Sankaku Garami (meaning triangle entanglement) among the judokas of Japan. In Judo, this grappling technique was a follow-up move when a judoka failed a Tomoe Nage throw. It can also be traced back to Catch Wrestling whose practitioners referred to the technique as The Coil Lock.
Originally, it was shunned by the pioneers of BJJ in favor of “simpler” techniques like chokes and straight armlocks. This techniques’ popularity in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is mostly due to the efforts of Nino Schembri during the 1990s. A proponent of an unorthodox guard game, Schembri had great success in competition with it. It has, also, become a staple of many successful competitors like Clark Gracie, Ryan Hall, Zack Maxwell, etc.
In essence, just as its name suggests it’s first and foremost, a shoulder lock. It has a similar principle to other bent arm shoulder locks like the Kimura and Americana, apart from one distinctive difference. This technique uses the legs to form a tight entanglement, as opposed to the arms in other such locks. Despite immense shoulder pressure, this technique attacks the elbow joint as well.
As a submission, the Omoplata is notoriously hard to defend against due to the many possible variations. The most basic way to finish is by forcing the opponent’s arm into a chicken wing position with your legs.
Whenever the Omoplata fails it just opens up new possibilities. For example, when an opponent is posturing up, it just opens up a triangle choke. The best thing is that if the opponent defends the triangle it’ll just lead back to the submission. In another scenario, when an opponent rolls out of your should lock you’ve just been handed a sweep. Now you’ve got two points and top position with the entanglement still on and full mount just a step away. That is without mentioning that you can still go all the way back to the original attacking position.
Finally, if you’re bored of your opponent thrashing around you can look to transition out. As mentioned, it’s easy to get a triangle or full mount, but you could also go for a leg lock or obtain back control. The toe hold is readily available, as is while a transition to Ashi Garami. For a Rear Naked Choke you don’t even have to transition – check out Mackenzie Dern’s special sub.
So what is the principle behind this diverse position? Well, first of all, it’s the fact that you can reach it from a variety of different positions. The closed guard is the most basic route, but it is also accessible from half guard, open guard, rubber guard, etc.
With the Omoplata, it is all about the hips. Basically, the hips offer both an anchor point for control as well as a power source for sweeping, finishing, or transitioning. In terms of structure, the legs need to be triangled with the knees pinched tightly together. This configuration brings about the best control of the position. You can improve control by implementing correct grips, especially on the closer leg, which prevents rollovers.
To break the opponent’s posture, though, you’ll have to straighten your legs. This is where hip pressure and timing come into play. To obtain the optimal position for a lock, the opponent needs to be flat out on their belly. The straightening of the legs results in the formation of a strong lever that leads the opponent into the desired position. From there, it’s smooth sailing to the finish.
The Omoplata is a highly effective position that will improve your game in many aspects. Whether you’re looking for a submission, a way to top position, or just tight control, the Omoplata is the way to go. Although you might never look as good as Clark Gracie while doing it or like Bernardo Faria when he submitted everyone on seminar only with Omoplata, you’ll undoubtedly be effective.
So, now that it’s clear that the Omoplata can double as a sweep, holding position, and a transitional checkpoint, let’s look at some basic principles. There are a few key elements to getting the submission without much effort. It can be a very high percentage technique, as Bernardo Faria has demonstrated on multiple occasions. Getting it is simple if you adhere to the following 6 principles.
Your opponent will either try to roll out or jump over you and end up in your side control. So, you should watch it. You will be aware of that and you will be ready to catch his first leg when he tries to jump over you. When you catch his leg without letting both of his legs touch the ground you have an easy sweep. But, even if your opponent jumps over you there is still a high chance of you retaining control. Bernardo Faria covered that part in his “Omoplata Everyone Instructional” and it works great
Your main focus should be on submitting your opponents and you should believe in it. It’s pretty possible to finish anyone with it. But, if you don’t get the finisher the sweep is always there. So if you’re having problems controlling your opponent don’t force yourself to finish your opponent. Accept the sweep and move on. Sweep is actually a super high reward because forcing yourself further into submitting can easily lead to loss of control.Often, you’ll try to go for Omoplata but your opponent will trap your “second” leg. Once your leg passed the shoulder and your opponents’ neck, you have many options, but to finish Omoplata you need to pull out your other leg, and sometimes it’s “mission impossible”. Once you go for the Pmoplata Your opponent already knows what you’re trying to do so he’ll do everything to keep your other leg trapped underneath him making it impossible to pull it out and finish your submission. Luckily for you, there is one option that works perfectly. It’s called MONOPLATA!
Once you passed your main leg over your opponent’s shoulder and your other leg is stuck you just have to turn your body keeping his arm tight so when you turn your opponent turns with you. Once you’re in the position that keeps your opponent’s arm bent in the shoulder lock position just take your knee and pull it. Make sure you pinch your knees together while doing so.
Here is a video of that technique and I must say that it works awesome. There are no many counters or escapes to this submission except trying to move your top leg and it should really become your bread and butter technique against anyone who’s going to “lay and pray” on your farther leg.
There’s something about catching those “classic” Brazilian Jiu-JItsu submissions. Those are the moves that gave BJJ its name, and the fact they still work today is simply amazing. However, very often these moves can either go wrong, putting us in defense mode, or they simply do not work. While giving up on submission and restarting is a legitimate strategy, a much better one is connecting other attacks to it. The thing about all the “classics” is that they’ve been around for so long, the people have numerous follow-up options to keep their attacks going. One such move that grapplers often turn to is the Omoplata. This “basic” shoulder lock is so much more than just a one-dimensional finishing move. Turning to the Omoplata sweep when you’re initial submission is stuck is a surefire way to keep going and finish, maybe even with the Omoplata itself!
Back in my early blue belt days, I was a huge fan of omoplatas. I discovered that the Omoplata works great when you combine it with an armbar and a triangle. Since closed guard was my favorite position (big surprise there) this combo soon became my favorite. This meant that people knew what to expect, and higher ranked belts, in particular, defended my attacks fairly easily. This led me to the Omoplata sweep as the natural extension. At the time, just getting the sweep was immense for me. However, it soon became apparent that I had no direct threatening options after sweeping. And I didn’t like it at all.
The one big problem people usually run into with the Omoplata sweep is exactly this. The sweep lands you in a perfect position to continue attacking. Yet, most people settle for untangling their legs and going straight into side control. While this is a positionally sound strategy, going on the offensive from there is going to take a lot of work. While certain follow-ups may come naturally to some people, usually it takes someone to unlock these paths for you. Today, our goal is to show you the next level of attacking with the Omoplata.
The Omoplata is one of those cool-looking submissions specific to Brazilain Jiu-JItsu. It is a shoulder lock that is done from the bottom, usually from the closed guard. While closed guard setups are the most basic, there are also plenty of open guard setups, most notably from the Spider guard. The cool thing about the Omoplata is that it is a submission in which your legs do all the work.
Starting from the closed guard, you need to have one of your partner’s arms on the ground to go for an Omoplata. You could force him to plant it there or pull it yourself. Once the arm is extended, you open your guard and use the leg you have under the same side armpit to hook their shoulder. To do this, you’ll have to significantly change the angle of your hips, so that they’re now facing the same side as your opponent. Locking a triangle in place, while keeping their hand as close as possible to their body gives you immense control. From there, you either go straight for the finish or for an Omoplata sweep.
To finish, you’ll need to lay your opponent flat on the mats. This requires you to extend your legs forcefully so that their upper body goes to the floor. A few butts scoot to the side is all it takes to make their hips follow. Once the opponent is flat on the ground, you lean towards the opposite side shoulder, placing immense pressure on their trapped shoulder because of your legs.
Gettin the Omoplata sweep is actually very easy. In most cases, people are going to give it to you themselves. If you do not control the opponent’s feet or belt when you first get into Omoplata position, they can roll out. While they can roll out of the submission itself, they do not necessarily leave the position, if you know how to follow up. Another great option is finishing the sweep itself.
In the first instance, you have an opponent roll forward as you extend your legs to finish the Omoplata. Sometimes, even despite your best efforts to control your hips, opponents will find ways to roll out. Never untangle your Omoplata just because an opponent rolls out. Instead, make sure you go for a sweep and stabilize the position on top. Simply follow your opponent’s movement until you end up on top. The finishing position is going to be next to your opponent, with your legs still around their arm, along with sleeve control. This is a great position to be in, plus it lands you two points.
From a more advanced perspective, you can use the Omoplata sweep when opponents intelligently defend Omoplata attacks. A knowledgeable opponent is either going to try to skip over you or try to open the shoulder lock up. In both instances, you yourself can turn to the Omoplata sweep to counter their defenses. Simply extend your legs while rolling forward with your body, so that your weight makes them rollover. Or, rollover behind you if the opponent is posturing up. Keep the shins of both legs on the mats as you get up, so that you keep the arm pinned and your opponent firmly in place.
This is where the fun begins. Abandoning the arm configuration and simply going for side control is also a very legitimate strategy. However, going for a finish and much better positions is a better one.
The first and easiest option is a quick straight armlock. You already have everything in place, you just need to make a small adjustment. First, make sure you have the elbow of your opponent’s trapped arm between your legs. If that elbow slides out, go for side control. If you have the elbow, all it takes is to sit back, so that their arm is pinned between your hamstring and calf, and simply press down on their wrist for a straight armlock finish.
Another cool-looking and really good option are submitting from the mount. From an Omoplata sweep, backstep your free leg over the opponent and turn to face them. You’ll end up straight into a mounted triangle position. From there you should triangle your legs and settle in for a finish. Or, if you can’t squeeze the triangle right away, you can roll to you back, looking it up in transition, Your opponent won’t get any sweep points if you go on your back since you were in the mount. Plus if the triangle fails you can go from another Omoplata from there.
Finally, you can still finish with an Omoplata. Simply squeeze their elbow tight and rollover your near-side shoulder. This time, though, make sure you control their hips better so that you can finish without them rolling out. Yeah, it is that easy, you only need to be aware it is there.
I would like to add one thing here that I think is important for you to understand how seriously effective Omoplata is. If I have to do only one position or submission for the rest of my life that would definitely be Omoplata. And why is that so? Well, it’s a very interesting technique with so many options that I can freely say that it’s the technique you can never get bored with. So, in my opinion, it’s a BJJ technique that you should really focus on and have fun with it. You won’t get bored with it, I promise.

At a recent press conference, leaders of the Japanese Rizin FF promotions found that Gabi Garcia in her fourth MMA fight would fight against 52-year-old Shinobu Kandori at Rizin’s event December 31st. But 31-year-old Brazil admits she was not thrilled when Sakakibar’s president told her to fight a much lighter and older veteran who had not fought since 2000.
But, Gabi Garcia accepted a fight and on todays weigh ins she weighted 12 kg over the weight limit. She came with 107 kg and she’s supposed to fight at 95 kg and she weights 20 kg more than her opponent Shinobu Kandori.
When Shinoby Kando saw the difference she just went crazy and started yelling “this is disgrace” and she refuses to fight Gabi Garcia after that.

According to the Rizin officials Gabi will maybe rematch Lei D Tapa instead. Gabi defeated Lei D Tapa on Rizin’s even on 31. December 2015 via TKO in the first round.
Joe Ferraro, the commentator wrote on his Twitter profile that Rizin FF head Nobuyuki Sakakibara came on stage and said “Competition-wise, we cannot make this happen.”

Fake martial arts and fake martial artist are probably the biggest problem in martial arts. It’s really hard to understand how come those Fake instructors get people to teach them something that is obviously FAKE.
The even bigger problem is that they are actually teaching people some sort of self defense art. Making people feel safe on the streets with this kind of martial arts is something that should be punishable by law. False sense of security on the street can cause you a lot of damage and even get you killed.
I don’t know if we should feel sorry for people training it because I don’t understand how they don’t get it’s all fake. Or maybe they want to train it knowing it’s all fake. It’s hard to tell actually, as much as it’s hard to get into those peoples’ heads to find out why they stick to fake martial artists.

Fred Mastro in an MMA Fight – Let’s See if He’s Able to Apply his Techniques in a real MMA fight
For the most time, BJJ seems very straightforward to the untrained eye. You either get the position, you apply a technique and you’ve done it or you’re on the receiving end. However, things are not that simple. Apart from the plethora of small details involved, BJJ is all about deception. Especially when two opponents are evenly matched, the one who’s more capable of making their actions and provoking responses is the one that holds the upper hand. As such, BJJ is an art full of deceptively simple and sneaky techniques. One such move is the infamous Von Flue Choke.
The founder of the Von Flue choke is MMA fighter Jason “Livewire” Von Flue (14-12-1). A veteran with stints in the UFC, WEC, and Strikeforce, he came up with the choke in the octagon. He pulled off his trademark submission on the big stage, at the UFC – Ultimate Fight Night 3 event in 2006. Since then, the move has gained popularity in both the MMA and Jiu-Jitsu scenes, mostly as the most effective way to counter a guillotine choke.
The easiest way to describe the Von Flue choke is a shoulder choke from top side control. In a basic holding pattern of side control, one shoulder of the top grappler is usually close to the head of the bottom one. The usual positioning puts the top partners arm deep under the head of the bottom partner, in the cross face position. Unlike the crossface position, though, control and pressure are not the objectives. For the Von Flue choke, the top partner looks to place their shoulder on the neck of the bottom grappler, placing pressure on one of the carotid arteries. The finishing pressure is then applied by lifting the butt and driving with the toes, as shown below:
It is important to direct the pressure under the right angle which is upwards, from the chest towards the opponent’s chin. The simplicity of the move is what leads to its high effectiveness. The choke requires precise timing and correct positioning, but it is accessible fairly easily and can catch opponents by surprise. The choke comes off strong from the get-go and takes almost no time before the opponent goes to sleep.
When it comes to setting up the Von Flue Choke, there are two main positional pathways. One is as a defensive counter to the guillotine choke, while the other is as an attacking move from side control.
The most common way to get the choke is as a counter to an arm-in guillotine choke. When caught in the choke from the bottom, you should aim to circle away from the side where your head is. This is important, as going to the other side will get you deeper in the guillotine. In order to correctly set yourself up for the choke, you need to make sure that you reach behind your opponent while you’re circling around. Once you obtain the position, you’re already in the perfect position to apply the choke. Just make sure that you get the right angle before driving into the opponent’s neck. Here’s how Renzo Gracie does it:
As a point of caution, make sure to remember that the Von Flue Choke is only effective against the arm-in guillotine. If you’re caught in a high elbow guillotine (aka Marcelotine) the choke cannot be applied because you can’t place your shoulder on the opponent’s neck. Furthermore, getting caught in a closed leg configuration while in a guillotine can also scupper your Von Flue choke attempt. Both the closed guard and the half guard can neutralize the choke because of the distance created between your shoulder and your opponent’s neck.
Offensively speaking, you can look for the choke from the crossface position in top side control. While this way is far quicker than circling around, it can also be more difficult. If the opponent is aware and hiding their neck it might take some time to dig under the chin. Otherwise, the angle is off and the only thing you can accomplish is crossface pressure from hell, but without a choke. As you can see below, the choke sets in almost instantly:
The first time Ovince St. Preux (22-10) finished a fight in the UFC via a Von Flue Choke, he earned an honorable mention in every article on the subject. Managing to pull it off three times, though, has made him the new face of the submission. Apart from a an impressive total number of Von Flue choke finishes in the UFC, St. Preux can boast with having two of those in succession. It is hardly surprising that the name “Von Preux” is catching on quickly.

I’m a Jiu-Jitsu brown belt with more than 10 years of experience in BJJ. I’m not a professional writer, so forgive me for the mistakes I’ll make while writing this review on Omoplata Everyone. I’ve been asked to make an honest review and I’ll try my best to demonstrate your values of these DVDs. And I’ll try to show you what you get for your money and how it is actually good.
I’m in the Omoplata game for more than 2 years and I like it a lot. After numerous techniques and concepts, I tried throughout my Jiu-Jitsu career, I find Omoplata the most interesting concept of all. I believe that anyone who is in Jiu-Jitsu will be interested in Omoplata at some point in their career.
If someone tells me that till the end of my Jiu-Jitsu career, I could do only one submission or position it would be Omoplata. Why? Because when you catch someone in Omoplata you’re able to hold him there, submit him, and sweep him without any problems with your opponent’s weight as you’re controlling his arm and shoulder and you’re not dependant on your or your opponent’s weight.
From the intro of the first DVD, you’ll figure out how this instruction will be presented. First techniques in instructions like this are usually techniques that you know for sure if you’re even a bit into the technique you’re interested in. But that’s not the case here. Even the first technique is awesome, so simple and so effective. It’s probably the easiest way to get Omoplata and surprise your opponent and you weren’t thinking about it before.
After that Bernardo Faria is simply building an Omoplata game. He’s building and upgrading Omoplata gameplay with a simple language that anyone can understand.
If you’re an Omoplata beginner after watching the first few techniques you’ll start submitting people with it. I assure you that because there are a few details that I personally haven’t seen anywhere before. Even if I did they weren’t explained that well. That’s what I like here. You’ll understand how and why only a few grips can change the Omoplata game completely and you’ll be able to submit people with it in a way you couldn’t before.
After watching the first DVD and drilling techniques with a friend I came to the gym and my Omoplatawas completely different and I’m into Omoplata for more than 2 years. The problem with other DVDs about Omoplata I’ve watched is that most of them repeat stuff that you can find on YouTube. And it’s not the case here.
