  1. Much respect for the teacher but what do you do when the opponent keeps very good posture , won't let you pull him down from hand behind neck ?

  3. It makes me laugh how many people are trying to discredit what Vinny, an ADCC heavyweight champion, is teaching. Yes you can go for the armbar, yes the flower sweep isn't really involved other than underhooking the leg, blah blah blah. He is showing 1 option of 50 from this position, that is how you teach BJJ. If you don't like this FREE instructional, then don't watch it. End of.

  4. Too long too complicated armbar would be the way to go with these helichopper type sweeps

  5. A big thanks to the submissions 101 team! I really like the 10th planet system, no gi stuff is the best!!

  6. Just do the armbar. The video wouldve been about 2 minutes shorter and it's just as effective. Dudes arm gets busted or taps out, game over man.

  8. I learned this from my instructor and always did it successfully but never knew what it was called haha

  9. If they are keeping that arm in tight, I remember you said to move your hips to get the arm out. If you cant get the arm out that way, can you throw the arm behind the leg instead of around?

  11. @mwallin12 He does it to maintain control. Notice that he never lets go of the arm, but, in doing it the way he does, he doesn't allow the person to try to posture up, The Inverted triangle is for control to go into the choke.

  13. @kylep8514 i aim for the neck because the head might go side to side but the neck has to move with the body!

  14. Does anyone know why Vinny switches to the reversed triangle before clearing the arm to the other side? I saw others that just push the hips up in order to be able to clear that arm. I was just thinking that there must be a purpose because the guy has killer-BJJ.

  15. @teesidethai the armbar is much more direct but if uke is pulling hard to stop it the reverse triangle to triangle is a good option. Having weapons to fight your opponents reactions is never bad, and it's not a super complicated setup.
