Entry to Scarf

[tallgeese]

This week, one of our instructors looks at the entry into the scarf position. This is a highly dominate position that should be used more by BJJ players everywhere. Too often, we see technical mistakes that lead to counters. Check out Dan discussion application of pressure during the transition:

How often do you utilize scarf in your rolls? What other applications does it have outside positional controls? What are options for continuing the engagement from here?

Very nice. Seems so simple, but knowing the nuances is what matters, huh?

Entirely. It's actually easy to lose position during this transition. We see it all the time. If it's done without the attention to detail that allows for proper weight distribution and pressure.
