Xande has side control and uses his hips to work his way to a high neutral side control, trapping his opponent's arm up near his head. He gets a superhold for more control, and then he can begin to slide his knee across the belly and slam his leg down to take the mount.

Now covering another specific detail to be aware of while transitioning from landmark two to neutral side control, Xande shows how he controls his opponent's head. With his hand in the collar, once his opponent starts to turn into him, Xande uses his forearm across the face and drives him back as he pushes back with his hip. Now when he goes neutral, this grip allows him to set up several attacks.Add to Favorites 679 Remove From Favorites 871 days ago
Xande breaks down his movement from his landmark position two to neutral side control, and shows how he always keeps his hip connected to his opponent's hip through the whole motion. This is much different than the sitting up into base movement, where he creates space between the hip for him to come up.Add to Favorites 48 Remove From Favorites 872 days ago
Xande goes into depth on how and when he abandons the kesa gatame side control hold, which is position one in this movement pattern. If he stays here too long, his opponent can easily replace guard or even roll him, so as soon as he feels his opponent go to his side, Xande switches to position two and uses his hip to neutralize.Add to Favorites 638 Remove From Favorites 873 days ago
From side control, Xande wants to mount, but first he must make sure he prevents his opponent from recovering guard. He looks to control the upper body, but when his opponent turns on his side and tries to bring his knee in, Xande must use his hips to clear the knee as he transitions to a neutral side control.Add to Favorites 540 Remove From Favorites 874 days ago
Continuing with mobility drills, Xande breaks down some basic movements to sit up into a strong base, which he applies to a practical situation by transitioning from mount to technical mount.Add to Favorites 624 Remove From Favorites 877 days ago

Gustavo goes over some details students have trouble with, and shows how he releases the knee from his grips in order to sit up to the back. He also shows a nice transition to the knee bar.Add to Favorites 560 Remove From Favorites 879 days ago
Now instead of going overhead, Gustavo pushes his opponent away from him and then rolls onto his side, forcing his opponent to post his hands on the side. From here, Gustavo shows how he can swing his legs to sit up out the backdoor, and get to the other side to attack the back.Add to Favorites 534 Remove From Favorites 881 days ago
From his Curu Curu guard, Gustavo rocks his opponent and extends his legs up over his head, forcing his opponent to base on his hands. Now instead of trying to back roll, Gustavo dumps his opponent over to the side and sits up ready to pass the guard. He can also set this sweep up sometimes if his opponent tries to back step his leg out of the guard.Add to Favorites 480 Remove From Favorites 884 days ago
Moving on from the Curu Curu guard setup, Gustavo shows how to off-balance your opponent from this position. He can either roll onto his shoulder and off-balance him to the side, or he can pull him up and off-balance him over his head.Add to Favorites 541 Remove From Favorites 885 days ago
