attn: merryprankster or other bjj practitioner, simple question

hi guys i was just writing on another thread and i remembered a question i wanted to ask , in bjj i hear of the mount and the guard this is basically the ontop guy and the underneath guy, and techniques about passing the guard , i assume that this means getting the guy from ontop of you off you.
when i did a little japanese ju jitsu we practised a technique where you arch your back and push up on your heels and shoulders . This makes the opponent fall towards you and you place your right hand on their left shoulder and kind of tilt them off you.

is this how you would do it or would you deem it an old bull technique that is obsolete nowadays.

I found it works with no problem up to my own weight i never had anyone big @$$ sit on me.

This is because THC is not an alkaloid. It does not contain a nitrogen atom, therefore it is a terpenophenolic compound

You are talking about a technique the BJJer’s call “upa” and what wrestlers call “bridge and roll.” It is not a bull technique, unless the person doing it chooses to make it that way :slight_smile:

First, some terminology. BJJers call the mount the position where one person is on their back, and the other is on top, sitting a-straddle(sort of) their stomach. The person on bottom is said to be “mounted.” Ther person on top “has the mount.”

The guard is a position in which the bottom man has control of the opponents body/limbs/hips with his own legs. There are two general categories: Open guard and closed guard. Closed guard involves the bottom man having his legs wrapped around the top man’s waist, and locked in back at the ankles. Open guard uses the feet as hooks at any of various different control points. Neither is more effective than the other, just different. The top man is “in the guard,” while the bottom man “has guard.”

Passing the guard is any one of a number of ways to get by the bottom man’s legs to reach a control position.

As to the way you learned to do the bridge and roll in JJJ; well, honestly, it would get you submitted. By placing your hand on the opponents shoulder, you are offering them the arm lock.

A small adjustment will fix this entirely:

Bump up, as you described. Most people will have to put one or both arms down as their body moves forward. Now, instead of pushing on the shoulder, corral/trap an arm and hold it in. On that same side, bring your leg up and post your foot on the OUTSIDE of their ankle.

Your opponent now has nothing to post with to prevent them from being turned. So, bridge and roll to the side the arm and ankle are trapped on.

its cool i get it , thanks !!!
