Gaveston BJJ’s Evan Gideon showcases a move he learned from the Mendes Bros
December 26, 2013 – Today’s long-delayed edition of the TXMMA Technique of the Week features GFTeam brown belt Evan Gideon.
As the head instructor for Galveston BJJ / Combat Sports Institute, Evan Gideon has been teaching and competing in Texas for the better part of the last few years. He arrived here as a purple belt after winning the Mundials (IBJJF Worlds) at the blue belt level and quickly gained local recognition as one of the competitors to watch out for. He’s continued that same way since earning his brown belt under Igor Santos and should be a force for Texas for years to come.
In this edition of our technique of the week Evan Gideon shows an innovative sweep/armbar setup off the omoplata. Check it out and enjoy!
TXMMA Technique of the Week – Evan Gideon (Galveston BJJ)
Technique and timing @ Gracie Sydney
Grip fighting will be the death of me... When it comes to grip fighting, most times I give up and proceed to just pass hoping to break the grip along the way. It's a really bad habit I know (and the upper belts FROWN at me whenever I do that. Sorry at my abysmal display of technique ;A;)
So when Keenan Cornelius comes up with a 101 tutorial video on how to break grips from all sort of positions (spider, leg lasso, dela riva, berimbolo), I could kiss the guy. Really I could because it's god sent. ;_;
Here is deep half guard pass I said I would be releasing. Let me know what you all think! And please share and subscribe because I will be releasing more techniques in the future. =) Issso!
Chokes from side control
Today we worked on two chokes from side control, the instructor didn't give names to either of them. All moves are described in a right handed fashion,
Choke 1:
1) You have established a good side control with over under control. Now switch your hands to a more aggressive grip with your right hand blocking the hip and your left hand over the face and wrapping opp's elbow or forearm. This grip is typically used to set up a kimura or far-side armbar, so opp's mind should be drifting to that.
2) Step your feet to North-South, fuck around here until you feel your opponents arm somewhere on your right side.
3) Using your right arm, wrap around opp's arm and grab the back of his collar, palm up. Step back to side control.
4) With your free arm, grab the opp's far-side lapel with your palm facing his legs. Finish as per normal
Choke 2:
1) From the same position as described above, shift your weight onto your left hip, and pull up the nearside end of your gi.
2) Square-up, and feed the very end of your lapel to your right hand (the hand that should be under the head).
3) Straighten your arm, block the hip with your left hand, and by placing your head next to his left hip, walk to side control. This motion should tighten up the choke sufficiently to get the tap. If for whatever, reason it doesn't, once you've walked around, use your free hand to squeeze opp's shoulder.
