The Basics Of Brazilian Jiujitsu Oklahoma City

By Raymond Baker


Jiujitsu is one of the most practical combat arts in the arena because it addresses the fear of most strikers which is being brought to the ground and pounded out. Specifically, Brazilian JiuJitsu Oklahoma City is a variant that is most practical because it was created by the Gracie family to be used in the street. For those who are interested in learning it, here are a few things to take note of.

Now, the very first move, which also happens to be the most basic one, is the guard or the default stance in BJJ. In the guard mode, one will be lying on his or her back with both arms and legs slightly bent going toward the core area. This is to prepare for the event of an attack from the top.

While this is the default stance that can offer a higher chance of protection, it can still be broken. When the enemy does manage to get into the guard, then techniques to escape the attack are needed. One of which is known as bridging and it is a move that allows one to still maintain a comfortable position and prevent the opponent from getting his or her lock in.

To get out of a clinch, a move known as the hip escape can be used along with bridging. It entails twisting the hips to push the opponent to the side and try to get on top of the opponent. To do that, one has to do a bridge then try to slam the opponent to the side.

A more preventive move that one can use in order to avoid getting into a position where he or she can be ground and pound is shrimping. With shrimping, one will try to twist the body sideways and assume a shrimp position. This is useful for forcing an opponent to lose balance if he or she is going after the mount.

While the defense keeps the opponents from creating damage, the attacks will finish the fight. One of the best moves to do while from a guard position is the classic triangle choke. One will literally form his or her legs in an inverted triangle position around the head of the enemy and choke him or her out.

In order to apply the triangle choke from the guard, one has to first grab one arm of the adversary and then raise the legs up. From there, put one leg on top of the back of the neck of the adversary and use the left leg to lock the legs in a triangle shape. At the same time, grab the head and pull it down until the adversary passes out.

For those who are interested in this very practical art, this is a short overview to give an idea of how it works. While there are still so many more things to learn, these basics must first be mastered so that one can do more advanced stuff. Getting an overview also helps one know if he or she can take the martial art or not.
