Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Massachusetts – Controlling with the Cross Collar Grip from Butterfly Guard #3
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Massachusetts: The Wind-Surfer Arm Drag Using the Cross Collar Grip from Butterfly Guard
In this third video in a short instructional series, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts trainer Stephen Whittier (The MMA Performance Professor) of Nexus Martial Arts & Fitness in Wareham, MA shows the wind-surfer arm drag using the cross collar grip from butterfly guard in BJJ.
Once again, Professor Whittier contextualizes the position by reviewing the key points for posture from the butterfly / upright guard, and the importance of head position, legs placement, and hand fighting so that your opponent cannot control you with dominant grips.
In the previous video instructional, he explained the fundamental push and pull pressures, and detailed how to use the cross collar / knee grip combination to sweep an opponent back and pass the guard using the gi. This time, however, he demonstrates and extremely and versatile version of the arm drag using the gi.
(As Professor Whittier mentions, this is a “wind surfer” style arm drag similar to the one used so effectively in the highest levels of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition by elite World Champion grappler, Marcelo Garcia.)
First he shows how to use the non collar-gripping hand to capture the opponent’s sleeve, or strip the opponent’s grip and then control it. He also shows several different ways to properly grip the cuff or lower sleeve of the gi.
As opposed to a more traditional arm drag, where 1) your opposite side hand will reach under and cup just above and behind the opponent’s opposite elbow (e.g., right hand to opp’s right arm), then pass the hand to the arm drag; and 2) your foot on the side you move to off of the arm drag will switch to come outside your opponent’s leg: the wind-surfer variety involves you maintaining your cross collar grip and keeping your same side foot hooked inside your opponent’s thigh.
To move into this position, Professor Whittier explains that once you have your grips your head will lean back and your foot (on the same side as your collar grip) will “stand” on your opponents hip, toes turned out; you will keep your elbow tight to your side to maximize structural strength and leverage as you do this, effectively stretching your opponent out on that side. This is the “wind-surfer” position.
At the same time, your other foot will stand on top of your opponent’s other thigh, near the lower half toward the knee. As you use this foot to kick out your opponent’s leg on that side, you will need only to use your grip on the sleeve to pass it across your body, then your collar grip to pull you toward your opponent’s back as you simultaneously pull him past your body to the mat.
As you arrive into this position, here are several key details: 1) your foot that was on the hip will slide inside your opponent’s thigh; 2) your cross collar gripping arm will hold your opponent’s head down, controlling his posture, while 3) you are propped up onto your elbow (not laying on your back or shoulder; 4) your chest should be behind your opponent’s near side shoulder and 5) you should grab the back of your opponent’s belt or gi as an anchor with your top arm, and keep your elbow on that arm locked down tight to your ribcage to block your opponent’s arm from swimming under your top arm and getting an underhook (which would allow him to regain control and potentially pass your guard).
From here, Professor Whittier explains, this is a very versatile offensive position, which will allow you to sweep in either direction as well as take the back depending on your opponent’s weight distribution and reaction to the position. In the next installment, he will go over these offensive options in detail.
