Providing a unique experience, the program goes beyond technique, with details, concepts and fundamentals.
Controlling the distance to your opponent's body, as well as their movement. Breaking the passer's posture. Achieving firms grips on their jacket. Opening holes for multiple types of attack. These are some of the winningest strategies adopted by BJJ's elite guard players. They are all contained in the wrapped-arm guard, a system Leo Tunico is an expert in.
Tunico reveals a simple, efficient way to breaks grips and use your arm to wrap your opponent's arm, also grabbing their cross collar. Note that when you achieve this control, a menu of attack options opens up.
Among them are the cross choke, the hook sweep, the arm drag that leads to the back, and the triangle -- moves that will revolutionize your guard game (open and closed) and which you will learn in detail, from the best angles.
These are techniques for use in training, competition and self-defense scenarios. Note how common it is in MMA bouts for a guard-playing fighter to seek control over their opponent's arm to shorten the distance and control their movement, and then start attacking.
Watch these videos over and over, create your own double and triple attacks, and then go try it out on unsuspecting teammates. Oss!
Born on April 8, 1985, Leo Tunico is one of the most talented BJJ competitors of his generation, having found success in the IBJJF's biggest events, especially at the base ranks. Also trained in judo, he teaches at Renzo Gracie Academy, all while maintaining a career as a DJ.
There are many ways for you to weaken the posture of a guard passer so they become vulnerable to attacks and lose their base to proceed to side control. This happens, for example, when the guard player manages to use their own arm to wrap the passer's arm as well as grab the collar. That's what Leo Tunico teaches here. Note that the moment Tunico controls his opponent's arm, a menu of attacking options opens up to him.
Although it may look like a mere battle of physical strength, grip-breaking in BJJ is based on refined techniques that require lots of studying and training. Note that on the bottom, playing closed guard, Tunico controls the sides of his opponent's sleeve and, with the help of a hip motion, he pushes the passer's hand up high. Then Tunico controls his opponent's arm and puts himself in an advantageous position.
Playing closed guard, Leo Tunico teaches you how to control one of the passer's arms and, from that control position, submit an opponent with a cross-collar choke. Note that in order to conclude the move, Tunico opts to open the guard and sit with the butterfly guard mechanic. That's how he finds more room to place the second hand required for the choke.
