Ground Marshal Sequence: Half Guard Pass to Anaconda Choke

[@jrowlandj]

"Alot of times their head will thump hard, and that's good." Neil "my art is not gentle" Melanson. Hell yeah man.

[@curthoward79]

Hey coach Neil , great detail on the finish of the anaconda! It took me ten years of failed anacondas to realize I needed to adjust my elbow position. Your the first person have seen address this, bravo. Keep the good work up 👍

[@rationalthinker9612]

I have only done gi BJJ up until this point but I like checking out no gi videos like this sometimes to give my game more diversity and hopefully surprise an opponent....you are an excellent teacher, break it down step by step and explain why each step is taken the way it is....awesome videos bro, thanks for taking the time to share your knowlege! OSS!!!

[@abcdabcd4058]

I would love to train under this guy.

[@janmuller9648]

me too, but let someone else be his grappling dummy :D

[@jscarpa2002]

@@janmuller9648 I would like to train with him too but I don't want to be under him. Let someone else get smashed by his 280 lbs.

[@7Phoenix1]

Always impressed with every Neil Melanson technique I see and this one is nooooo different.

Thank you for the explanation coach Neil.love the videos since there is no catch or shoot style wrestling where I'm from in Eastern Canada.

[@rabbychan]

Thanks, very simple yet effective, just my kind of thing.

[@bobsouth5875]

[@inmylifetime6080]

Thank you good sir

[@MajinMind]

6:45 What do you do if he really holds on to your trapped leg very tight?

[@janmuller9648]

Exactly! Tried this on my coach and got stuck there today

[@Donteatme70]

Crank on the head

[@crackmrs1]

Great position.

Very cool...

[@Nick-pk3tl]

very nice

[@davidtice4972]

Great! Can you please show the techniques you're teaching once and then break it down? It takes a long time for you to get to the submission you're showing.

[@whateveritwasitis]

how about you just forward the video to the end where he does 5 or 6 at full speed? idiot.

[@Gandalf1986]

i dont get it

[@channel4jiujitsu290]

so so so dope

[@TheDirtyyoungman1]

What if he keeps the hook on your leg when you try to stand and slide by? Can you still do it and keep the leg hooked?

[@MikeLibbie]

I agree. The half guard player won't let that leg loose. A guy at Marcelo's school dives over on his head, which makes it easier to get the leg out. He doesn't go around, he goes over and uses his head to hold as a post. Bernardo Faria made a post on his blog just a few days ago. I really appreciate this guy's attention to controlling the leg of the opponent. Then that whizzer usage and thumping the head! Maybe not so good for sparring, but good for the parking lot.

[@HamChuc]

I have the same issue. if you have the weight on their face and 1/4 nelson, they aren't getting out and you have the time to fight that leg out.

[@f_alves]

Mike and Bruce, I really undestand your concerns but this movements runs really fast. If the on the bottom wast his time fighting with the legs there's no way out to just release the pressure on it... trust me, you wouldn't been stacked by someone like Neil (weight and size).... But if you figure it out any technique that keeps the guy on top position even for recover the guard, let us know. Oss.

[@scarybadfilms1798]

It is like a knee slide. By standing you free your knee to turn it in and slide. Look up knee slide to understand how that works (in the event you do not)

[@a.s.vieira7846]

Man, one day I will set this one properly

[@xy5844]

10:02

[@AltonCrooks]

Is this technically catch wrestling?

[@HamChuc]

excellent, the only issue is getting that leg out to walk around, that is a fight, but with hand on their face with 1/4 nelson, you have the time so all is good;.

[@minervasmith7156]

That is sick and tight👍👍👍

[@sdzachar]

This is great I love it I just wanna train and don't go to work..... THIS IS HUMAN CHASSE GAME

[@drewhancock7099]

Hey Neil, thanks for all the awesome vids. One question, I’ve tried a few of these moves from half-Guard but opponents always keep my legs trapped making it hard to complete the transition from HG to complete the rest of the sequence (to quarter Nelson and choke)

[@tamegomait]

That's insane

[@RocknRollinRebel]

what if he keeps posting his right hand in front so his head doesn't pin to the ground?

[@TheDirtyyoungman1]

pull out your g19 and shoot him.. :-)

[@FormerAmericanHeathen]

Win!

[@79pejeperro]

RocknRollinRebel Neck injury. BTW I hope you are not the "but" guy there is in every gym. Yeah, there's a counter or defense for almost everything. Now lets see if you can pull it when he's trying to pin your head

[@thebigthn]

Looks like at 11:37 he kinda pulls the right arm out

[@luizevandrobutzke2537]

04:35 How the Jiu Jitsu guy can make you pay for that?

[@bol317]

they hook the arm into place and roll underneath you for the sweep

[@omarahmed-is4hg]

why all that ink and blood
