Almost 30 years have gone by and the fear is still burned in my memory! 😐 It felt like the harder I tried while flailing around on the bottom, the more trouble I got into. Although barely 5 1/2’ feet tall and about 150 lbs soak and wet, his top pressure felt like a small motor vehicle was placed on top of me. Each time I sensed an escape or thought I was getting out, I sank deeper and deeper into my demise! Moving from position to position is to either achieve a submission or to move to a superior position as your opponent is about to escape. To end the fight in a NHB or street context, strikes can also be included to achieve this aim. The idea of holding down an opponent for a certain length of time seems to be oriented mostly to sport competition, such as in Judo or BJJ/submission wrestling. One clearly starts seeing how self defence as well as the versatility for sport application of mixing strikes and grappling my objective was. This video follows the typical comprehensive format of showing many of the smaller, yet important details of the techniques, showing possible variations, counters to escape attempts and using, as usual, multiple angles where and when necessary. The Osae komi kata alone at the end of the instructional is worth the price of this tape. This tape is a continuation of volume 1 with the following "master" list of positions and drills covered: 1. Top hold position continued 2. Vertical 4- corner hold ( the mount ) 3. Floating hold / uki gatame 4. Mounted triangle hold 5. Hands and knees position 6. Flat on stomach position 7. Working off knees to get into a top position such as scarf hold 8. Spin-and-pin drill 9. Mount/guard rolling drill 10. Turnovers of opponent in turtle position 11. Striking possibilities against someone in turtle or hands and knees position 12. The Osae komi or Pinning kata (predetermined sequence of top positions, done as a continuous pattern for maximum muscle memory) Please consider adding this to your library to complete the Top Control Series.
