Tired of being crushed in bjj? Have you ever finished riding with your instructor and wondered how he felt so heavy? You are surprised yourself, damn it, my instructor is fat! They are small and responsible, just responsible. They simply know the best ways to apply pressure in bjj.
We all hear it. How important it is to have strong hips, fast hips or flexible for the fight. As with your hips, to be more dynamic, you need to train with the idea of creating and applying pressure in bjj. From kicks to sweeps, control and simple suffering, bjj pressure plays a huge role in the success or failure of your fight. This post will focus more on the idea of control with pressure, which, in turn, makes them suffer. Hooray.
To be a pressure sensor
During the dismantling, randori, sweeps, you should be able to feel so instantly when pressure is applied to you from your opponent. You can also adjust them by applying short-term pressure in the opposite direction where you want them to go. For example, during dismantling. If I want my opponent to back off so that I can grab or remove a low single, I could give him a quick leap forward so that he instinctively tries to recover and retreat, helping me to move forward. The same goes for the swing. The feeling, response, and disclosure of various pressures and applications of it are crucial for any game of capture. Now, however, about how I mainly focus on the application of pressure in bjj - on control and suffering. Muah, ha, haaa.
Applying pressure in bjj
Have you ever seen those guys who could lie on a bed of nails? False? I wonder how they do it? Not that I tried it myself, but in pain, almost everyone should be able to do it. For a true feat, they should try to lean back on one nail or one row or nail block. That would be something. Why not? Because it pierced their skin is stupid. What for?
What is the pressure equation? The pressure is equal to the force over the area. The pressure value is equivalent to the force applied to a certain amount of area. Have you heard that the term atmospheric pressure is used during a meteorological report? This is strictly a measurement of how much force is applied to objects that are surrounded by air, like your entire body. Or imagine that you are completely immersed in water, it will be a measure of how much the force of water molecules is manifested throughout your body. Why is sitting on the bottom of a 12-foot pool more than 3 feet? Because you have an extra 9 feet of water from every direction that clicks on you.
Citing the bed of nails above, it is quite as they can perform the trick. Take two people with 150 pounds, one with a bed of nails, made up in the shape of 25X25, the other with one nail on their board. Can you say punctured lung? For both of these examples, we have 150 pounds of a man reaching for the Earth due to gravity, straight down. The man on the board 25X25 has 625 nails to decompose them into 150 pounds. Another, only one. Thus, on this tiny tip of a single nail, we still have to take into account that 150 pounds are used. Not beautiful.
You can use the same concept when applying pressure in bjj. I really haven't heard too much about this in jiu-jitsu, but this is one of the most common screaming phrases in youth wrestling. “On your fingers!” “On your fingers!” Why is it? Because it requires more pressure. This is how you make people suffer from giving up what you want, maybe it’s better to bear (position) or submission (just take it with something like that.) In the youth fight you will hear her scream when one child going behind the pin and having a chest for his opponent's chest. In bjj, think about having lateral control, but without knees on the shoulder and hips. If you are on your knees, like on your chest, some of your strength is transferred to the mat through your knees, as they touch it. In the fight, we return those legs all the way, and this happens when parents and coaches start shouting “on your fingers!”. Now the only contact you have with a rug is your teenage fingers, the rest is on your opponent's chest.
I'm not saying to change the basics of lateral control in bjj, you still want to block their hip and lift them slightly with their shoulders with their knees, since you are not going to pin. Being with your knees is vital for applying pressure in bjj.
What I am saying is to see why the amount of pressure applied has changed. We had fewer contacts in contact when the same amount of force was applied. You can use this concept while passing by, installing lateral controls, during dismantling and in any other place.
One of my favorite times for applying pressure in bjj is passing when trying to avoid midfield. I lay my head on the mat, over his body, almost as much as I am going to the triangle of his hand. I also have control over my opponent. When I feel that the moment is right, I will be with a tripod, when my leg is still stuck in the midfield, putting pressure on their shoulder pressure, all the time threatening with a triangle. All my weight returns through my one leg to the rug, my head is still on the rug, or on their neck over the shoulder. And if you lean forward, even more pressure is applied to their neck. They almost want to give up a walkway or a triangle to take the shoulder off.
And what about you? Are you thinking of applying pressure in bjj in this way? Or is it a second time for another concept that you would like to focus on? Notify me by leaving a comment or sending a message. Personally, I believe that the use of deceptive pressure is one of my focal points during rolling. I wonder if this concept is reserved for wrestlers and the like? Not reserved, but applied more regularly. Thoughts about applying pressure in bjj?
