This week at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we focused on three main attacks from the guard: Arm Lock, Omoplata, and Triangle. These three submissions are Jiu-Jitsu attacks that you have probably seen on television, and are very effective and applicable ways to submit your opponent. We also made the comparison of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the game of chess. Getting into certain positions in Jiu-Jitsu is much like laying out the chess board with your pieces in specific locations. In chess we recognize the layout with our eyes, but in Jiu-Jitsu we need to recognize it with our bodies.
1. Armlock:
Trap the arm ~ Step on hip to turn (same side as trapped arm) (Bodies should be
perpendicular) ~ Leg on hip comes over the head
- Counter: Pull the arm out. (Rotation of the hips and shoulders)
2. Omoplata:
Get bodies Parallel ~ Trap the far hip as you sit up ~ elevate hips
- Counter: Posture up to face partner (get back in the guard)
(Blue & Above): Attack Wrist
3. Triangle:
Swing free leg UP, OVER, and DOWN ~ Grab your ankle ~ Get perpendicular ~ Squeeze
knees
- Counter: Elevate the head and create a bigger triangle
Seven move sequence:
Armlock ~ Pull arm out ~ Omoplata ~ posture up ~ Triangle ~ Posture & push ~ Armlock

you need recognize a change and find another way to get them into check."
