YODA Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 There are many positions on the ground in which you can control a person. Some are better suited to restraint, others to striking and yet others to applying locks / submissions. What do you consider the main positions are for you? Do you have more success with certain positions?

three60roundhouse Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 I know a lot of side control variations, and I like them because they are kind of hard to get out of if you know the position well and there are tons of things you can work from there. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
YODA Posted March 24, 2002 Author Posted March 24, 2002 Hi 360 Would you like to take us through some of your side control variations? Maybe we can compare notes & each learn some new tricks?

striking_cobra Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 i prefer being on top (as most people do but my instructor says he's more comfortable controlling a person from the bottom.) the full mount is obviously the place to be...half mount isn't bad, knee on stomach is nice to have i can set a few things up from there...when i've got a side mount i try mainly to pin the guy down and get a kimura lock, or taking a full mount. when i'm on the bottom i like open guard the best...it's got alot of sweeps and joint locks that you just can't do when your guard is closed...(and let's not forget the triangle choke) this isn't new though...anyone who grapples would have similar views i think. i hope you don't think i'm trying to sound smart or anything lol...i'm no pro, i'm far from one...just answering the question. laters...

G95champ Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 In my very limited ju-jitsu training the one thing I learned is that every postion has pros and cons. The one postion I found I really like but never get on people is when they are face down and I am on their back. LOL.... (General George S.

striking_cobra Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 rear mount...yea that's a goodie but i can't seem to get that very often either lol (though it's happened to me before what's up with that? lol) " The art of Kung Fu San Soo lies not in victory or defeat, but in the building of human character."

G95champ Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 maybe me and you need to spar some that way one of us could win at least. LOL... (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
YODA Posted April 26, 2002 Author Posted April 26, 2002 Lots of ways to take someones back - either they give it due to strikes or you get it out of your control of the positional game. I'll post some of the latter later YODA2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.ukQualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.ukQualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology)
