WEEK 4 : 11/7

CONTROL BEFORE TRANSITION

🎯 THIS WEEK'S FOCUS

POSITIONAL DOMINANCE

Welcome to our Side Mount chapter!

Side Mount is one of the most dominant positions in Jiu-Jitsu. Although you primarily control your opponent's upper body, it offers tremendous opportunities for control, pressure, and positional dominance.

This week, we'll explore why maintaining Side Mount can be more effective than immediately transitioning to Mount.

🔵 CORE MATERIAL

BBS1 — FOUNDATIONAL CONTROLS

• The next phase of Gracie Combatives controls.

• Foundational positions that could easily have been part of the Gracie Combatives curriculum.

🔹 BONUS MATERIAL

PRESSURE & POSITIONAL DETAILS

• Shoulder pressure concepts.

• Maintaining the far-side underhook.

🏆 YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE

BE PATIENT. MAINTAIN CONTROL.

Practice recognizing when it's time to transition into another Side Mount variation.

You can deplete your opponent's energy quickly from Side Mount. Invest time in maintaining control rather than rushing to Mount or submissions.

CONTROL FIRST. ADVANCE WITH PURPOSE.

next couple weeks - looking ahead:
