Learning the mount from Roger is like learning basketball from Michael Jordan:exclamation:️
Simple and effective
Took my Mount game to a whole new level
The man cross choked the world from mount, this instructional is a must buy.
Could use a few more details for different responses, but overall a great instructional that immediately improved my mount game.
Master class instructional by the GOAT especially in Mount position. A very systematic approach to attacking from mount. Applied details for isolating arms, armbar, Ezekiel & cross choke right away.
This is great information for mastering the mount. I had heard Rodger was know for small details that really increased the effectiveness of basic techniques, and though this course really does have great information, I haven't seen much for details...but I'm not through the whole thing yet.
Showing the details that make them work against high level competitors. Fantastic instructional.
Clear, easy to follow, and brutally efficient techniques. Really recommend this for anyone looking to master the mount. Equally awesome for all levels. Learned so much from this!
Very conclusive
Excellent tutorial on the fundamentals and essentials of mount. Great especially for white belts. Wish it had more content though considering the price.
Jiu Jitsu that works
Highly effective techniques to add to my game straight away
Exactly what you'd expect from the greatest of all time. Practical details on making basic moves effective at the highest level.
excellent instruction.
As a featherweight, maintaining mount on the big guys can be a struggle, as well as trying adjust to the defensive postures of colored belts. I thought this instructional was great for a blue belt level trying to make the right adjustments to maintain positive control and work towards a submission from mount. There isn't a lot of content, but the material that is covered is succinct and easy to follow/replicate. I was using this in conjunction with Lucas Lepri's Science of Guard Passing so I could chain everything together and because I bought them both on daily deals. Roger details what fundamental defenses your opponent will use to escape, sweep or defend submissions and how to adjust accordingly. Some of the highlights that helped me include: Securing low mount Reaching and Maintaining High Mount Preventing opponent sweeping and replacing guard Breaking the defending Grip (armbars) Also I think the chokes (Ezekiel and cross-collar) are important to learn and implement if not just to make the threat so the arm bar comes easier.
Can’t go wrong with instruction from Roger Gracie, pure gold here!
Excellent instruction from one of the all time greats
This helped me soooo much! As a featherweight people just bench pressed me and i used to loose mount constantly. Now i am able to drain live out of anyone once i am mounted. It took me several month to implement only his mount control system rewatching the first and half of the second dvds and slowly adding that tiny details afters failing. Another 2 month later i finish people confidentally with rogers signature cross choke. There is just no way out anymore
When I am watching Roger's matches I've always wondered what little adjustments he is doing on top is of opponent to submit them. Now he is giving every detail, really efficient to secure and finalize the mount.
In this instructional Roger Gracie teaches his mount system from the point when a student is just going to the mount. It includes how to secure and maintain the mount and a series of appropriate and effective submissions. The material taught is fundamental old school GI techniques. Volume 1 (20 minutes and 3 chapters) includes an introduction where the key messages from Roger Gracie include: to firstly secure good control, so that you can maintain the mount before attempting submissions and to focus your learning on only a few submission techniques, so that these can be perfected; how to secure the mount, where Roger Gracie teaches how to stop the opponent escaping by either using bridging or an elbow escape; and finally how to isolate and control the opponent’s arms in preparation for a submission. Volume 2 (31 minutes and 4 chapters) includes: how to effectively hold the mount when you move from having your body held almost against the opponent’s body (i.e., flat with one arm controlling their head) to where your upper body is almost vertical (i.e., sitting on the mount); how to easily clear the opponent’s arms/elbows to enable you to move to the high mount in preparation for the application of submission techniques , including the importance of remaining connected to the opponent; how to counter attempts from your opponent to re-guard you (i.e., they attempt to turn, frame and insert an elbow inside one of your legs to escape your mount); and the final chapter covers how to break your opponent’s defensive grips when you are attempting to submit them by an armbar. Volume 3 (47 minutes and 6 chapters) covers submissions including armbars with particular emphasis on entering with multiple variations (x3) and completion; the Ezekiel choke; the cross-collar choke and a wristlock from mount. Importantly this volume includes a lot of important detail that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of these submissions. The limited number of submission techniques in this volume reflects Roger Gracie’s advice given in the first volume to study and practice only a limited number of techniques, so that you will be confident in their application. In this regard, training a limited number of effective techniques should mean that you will be able to quickly recognise submission opportunities and you won’t have to think about what to do, as it should be second nature to you. I would argue that for most people a basic and reliable technique that works 99% of the time is better than a complex and specialised technique that only has limited application and for you may only works some of the time. Picture and sound quality are excellent. A single camera has been used and the range is excellent, as you can easily see the details of each technique. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. Roger Gracie speaks clearly. In my opinion, he is easily understood. There is no banter. He presents in a professional manner and discusses the detail that makes the difference between techniques working reliably or not. This includes the likely responses from your opponent and how to respond to these actions. Again, maintaining the mount position is a constant theme throughout the instructional. In summary, if you are looking to improve your confidence, in both holding the mount (top) position and being able to submit your opponent, then I would recommend this instructional.
It's really difficult to rate an instructional from one of the challengers for the GOAT title... of course is well done, Roger is perfect in explaining what he does and the quote from Bruce Lee about the single punch trained 1,000 times fits perfectly on this instructional. It takes some stuff a lot of people out there would consider absolutely basic and take it at another level through details. Even the details he explains have their own details. Really appreciated the exploitation of the "position over submission" philosophy. all the instructional is built around the concept of trapping the opponent and have him where you want, and only at that point submit. I would highly recommend the instructional to teachers - if you want to teach a lot of stuff from the mount, here's the perfect blueprint!
Great instructional from the man himself!!! Helped a lot in my mount game
Técnicas básicas perfectamente explicadas .
