During the stand up fight, Saulo's opponent has the traditional collar and sleeve grip, as does Saulo. To break, he slides his hand down from the triceps to the end of the sleeve. His other hand cups the inside of the wrist, and he leans back as he pushes the wrist to break the collar grip. Now to break the sleeve grip, he aggressively pulls his arm and pivots about 90 degrees.

In this position, Dennis' opponent is holding his leg, looking to take him down. Dennis immediately pushes the head to the outside, grabs the chin, and while hooking the near leg with his leg, he drops down and hooks the other leg with his arm. The momentum forces his opponent to roll and Dennis controls the spladle position from his back, and he can finish the pretzel by placing the leg behind his head.Add to Favorites 579 Remove From Favorites 2356 days ago

Now Saulo focuses on breaking his opponent's grip and setting up a takedown. In this drill, he is more concerned about moving fast and aggressive, and not so much worried about the details of the technique. He grabs his opponent's hand that is gripping his collar, does an explosive traditional grip break, and then pushes the arm to the side so he can set up a takedown or next move of his choice. This is a drill to replicate what will actually happen in a fight.Add to Favorites 775 Remove From Favorites 2394 days ago
Now Saulo points out the importance of staying connected to your opponent and really driving forward to move him, rather than just pushing with your arms. It is also helpful for the partner being moved to stay relaxed and almost be dead weight.Add to Favorites 707 Remove From Favorites 2395 days ago
To start the warm up for World Championship training, Saulo begins standing with the classic collar and sleeve grips. He makes sure not to squeeze too tight with his grips so he doesn't stiffen up, and he keeps his elbows closed so he doesn't allow his opponent to control the grip fight. Now he lowers his level into a nice base and walks forward, pushing his opponent back as he steps. When he wants to turn, he opens one elbow, and pulls down and pivot steps to turn his opponent.Add to Favorites 663 Remove From Favorites 2424 days ago
