Cradle Attacks, Part 1: Crunchin' & Bunchin'

Follow Cheat Code Jiu Jitsu on social media:

I get asked from time to time about addressing the shrimp in side control, and what counters can be done to effectively respond to it. One great option pulled from amateur wrestling is the near side cradle, which works out to be a great pin in wrestling and a great control position for jiu jitsu. Any time you can force your opponent to carry your bodyweight and stop them from moving...bad things are imminent.
In this video (shot from a class I taught at Spectre), we'll discuss getting into the cradle off of your opponent shrimping. Also included are two attack options, the butcher shop choke and cradle bunching. Be on the lookout for Part 2 soon, where we'll go over even worse things to punish your friends!
The butcher shop choke was difficult to catch a good view of, so if you want more details check out this excellent video from the Ground Marshal, Neil Melanson: • The Most Deadly Grappl... .

As a life-long wrestler, and blue belt in BJJ, your style/techniques are very helpful to me. Went through all of your lockdown vids, and now the cradle. Thanks!

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Awesome, thanks!

[@alexp6869]

Oh yess I’ve found myself cradling lately and the algorithm has provided this in response, and thank you

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

The algorithm KNOWS.

[@natehinkson2313]

Been adding some cradles into my game. So glad you’re posting some. Your content is so great to learn from

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Thanks! Cradles are fantastic, definitely not used enough in BJJ.

[@bricedeblaineable]

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

@@bricedeblaineable Thanks!

[@5firehawk]

Great channel! Hope this series continues

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Thanks! I've got another one to upload, just med to get around to it. I've been out of the gym for a bit with the recent rise on COVID numbers. Hopefully I'll be back soon!

[@thegiantmoose]

I've only just found this channel and I have to say your content is truly awesome a real gem for technique. Your channel should be so much bigger. Keep up the good work I'm here to stay :)

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Thanks!

[@thegiantmoose]

@@CheatCodeJiuJitsu I forgot to mention being another shorty. 5ft 5 the fact you have small person variations to techniques is another winner. #trex for life.

Hola!

[@dustinduong5373]

Are there more cradle attack videos? Also the lockdown series videos were great I use that series all the time when rolling now.

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

There is a second part to the video that I recorded, but I have not uploaded it yet. I should probably do that at some point...

[@jaytassy2974]

Please post more videos

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Thanks, hopefully soon!

[@Flow1987]

sweet sweet cradles

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Thanks!

[@SOSDEFTAC]

Hi will you be releasing more cradle attacks?

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

I do have another video that I recorded at the same time as this, but I haven't done anything with it yet. Hopefully I'll get around to putting it up at some point.

[@GecOh77]

Why people don’t use these more often is a mystery to me

[@CheatCodeJiuJitsu]

Most underrated and underutilized position in BJJ by far.
