Ashi Garami: Sweep and Achilles Lock (No Gi BJJ)

Sweeping & finishing with ashi-garami - the leg entanglement in BJJ - from the seated guard position with a standing partner.

[@itsgonzalits]

One of the few KZbin instructors who seem to understand the pillars of Jiu-jitsu and applies them to techniques: connections (hooks and frames), kuzushi (weight distribution), and timing. Salute!

Great details for the Achilles Lock! Always had trouble finishing it, need to try it this way

[@bzglick]

Thanks. Let me know what happens ;)

[@AntonioJunior_]

Amazing details, really enjoyed the footlock finish!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! 😃

[@AEnoob]

Thank you, just learned the Ashi last night at GD Brooklyn and this really helped

[@bzglick]

Awesome 😉

[@richriordan3599]

So awesome. I get into ashi pretty easily and often but have trouble taking people down before they clear my leg and start passing. Also have trouble with the lock itself. You made me see about 52 things I'm doing wrong LOL so off to the gym I go. Thanks so much Brian.

[@bzglick]

Haha great!!

I'm always having issues with this. Thanks for the details. This is great material 👍.

Thanks for watching!

[@MrUnderrated]

Love this channel! You distribute so much subtle knowledge through concepts that seem applicable in various situations. Would love to see some half-guard top and bottom work in the gi such as top person forcing half and passing and bottom person defending once cross face is established and or measures to avoid the cross face.

[@bzglick]

Thank you! We are working on something now - stay tuned :)

Excellent video, so clear and easy to understand for somebody with ADHD

[@bzglick]

Hahaha great

[@RodrigoVanilla93]

love the detail on your inside leg blocking your partner's opposite leg (as opposed to the usual control of the near leg)

[@bzglick]

great - thank you :)

[@dadieta]

Great detail about the placement of the foot under the butcheek!

Hope it helps 😊

[@kenji10p]

Thank you for the video! Could you post on your partners far leg/knee when falling to the side? I have a little trouble with falling to the elbow if my partner is a lot bigger. I find falling to the shoulder gives more power to elevate the leg, thank you!

[@bzglick]

Do you mean post your leg on his far leg?

[@kenji10p]

@@bzglick post the hand on their leg knee

[@bzglick]

You can - but on the shoulder and you risk getting smashed 👍🏼

[@guilhermecadori]

When preparing the ashi, isn't this foot wrap between your armpit and body illegal under IBJJF rule set? I think this is a "trapped foot" but I'm not sure.

[@TheHudrv]

Great details. I have subscribed! I keep running into an issue when trying to finish the ankle lock. I keep putting my arm too high under my opponent's leg, under the calf instead of under the Achille's tendon. This might have to do with the fact that I have short legs. Any tip on how to slide down my grip to my opponent's Achille's tendon would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@bzglick]

Nice - thanks for your support 😊 often you’ll need to make those adjustments in the course of your setup. Try moving your hip away, fixing your grip, then bringing your hips back in 👍🏼

[@TheHudrv]

@@bzglick Thank you sir :)

[@ibaraku]

Posting with the elbow instead of falling to the mat makes so much sense, I was always taught to just fall to the ground and was never successful, thank you for that detail. One big problem that I have in this position is opponents turning their knee and going for a knee cut pass as soon as I grab their leg, how do you deal with this situation? Thank you!

[@bzglick]

Awesome to hear. Keep your shin to shin active and elevate his leg - the knee cut effort will lead right into the ashi 👍🏼

[@ibaraku]

@@bzglick Thank you so much Brian, I will try that.

[@ibaraku]

@@bzglick I tried this during class today and was super successful with it. Thank you for replying to all of your messages here.

[@richriordan3599]

Hey Professor. I'm still having trouble with people stuffing my inside leg and passing. I'm guessing it's either due to my hips being too low or I'm facing them too straight on instead of being angled to the side like you seem to be. I know it's difficult without seeing what I'm doing but any tips for this problem? Thanks so much.

[@bzglick]

Tough to diagnose without seeing it but both pieces you mention could easily be contributing factors. Are they standing above you or seated?

[@richriordan3599]

@@bzglick They are standing above me. I'm right at the position before the outward knee turn to sweep them. Around 5:40 in your video above. That's when they can stuff my inside knee and pass. You mention to keep a tight inside leg and you seem to be angling your shin between their legs almost like a lever. I only get the feeling of pushing my shoelaces up into their rear and pulling my knee towards my chest (to counter them trying to stuff it through their legs). I seem to run out of time before they clear that leg. Hope this makes some sense. Thanks so much for taking the time to personally respond to people's questions. Can't wait to buy your dvd.
