Seated No Gi Positional Sparring: Pressure Submission Sequences

Описание: In this session, I am working with a very gifted competitor at the white belt level. In his first competition, he was able to defeat practitioners with over a year of training. At the time he only had 3 to 4 months of training. His physicality is boundless. For the most part he can move with power, but it is unfocused power. Still him being 18 years old and me being 67 years old… Believe me he could wear me out if I lose focus for even a minute.

We begin sitting, and I am able to manipulate my open guard techniques to get to his back without him, realizing what I was doing, and then you take him down and mount him from the top. These sequences were felt allowing me to move faster that he could defend against even with his great physicality. Even though he does not have a lot of skills, his physicality is equal to any high level jujutsu Fighter I have ever met. He weighs in at about 155 pounds. I am about 185 pounds. However, my weight on him is limited to a focus of my structure. If I am using my weight, it’s always in a way that he feels more pressure from the structure than he does from my body weight.

I make sure this is so by asking him am I putting on too much weight? The sequence of movement are born from a pressure that is alleviated only to make him move in a certain way that allows me to complete a structural position. And there are a lot of positions that I do get into with him.

The first submission that he gets is basically from pressure as his arm is trapped against his throat and I am moving to get him to turn his back but the pressure I do used to have him do so is too much and he has to tap. In the second position we restart and I’m able to go through a series of submissions. Also, that lead to positions that get him to tap mostly from pressure.

I am surprised to move like that with him because he is very good at resisting incoming pressure. In fact, I do a lot of weighted functional exercise exercises to improve my overall strength because of the physicality of my student. Normally, I would never ever submit wiped up for the reason of this… If you do it to them, they will be able to do it to you. They actually learned from everything you do to them. So I don’t submit people or go through advanced sequences with beginners or novice with people unless I know that they’re gonna stay for a while. Moreover, that they’re going to prove to me that they’re going to be very, very good students of this incredibly lethal skill set.
