Things You'll Need:
- Training Partner
- MMA Gear
-
Step 1
Find a MMA gym to train. If there are no gyms in your area, find a training partner. Practice and building experience is a key factor to any jujitsu technique.
-
Step 2
Let your opponent take you down. Try not to let them get full control and slam you hard. If you can maintain some control, you will minimize the impact when you hit the floor.
-
Step 3
Clinch with your opponent and drag him to the ground on top of you. Again, you do not want to relinquish full control. Try to maintain a grip under both of his arms; these are called under hooks.
-
Step 4
Wrap both of your legs around the other fighter instantly. This allows you to control the opponent and not let them raise up for strikes or pass into side control.
-
Step 5
Hook your feet together behind your opponent's back. This keeps them from breaking away from the move and standing up.
-
Step 6
Use your hands to control the opponent's arms and upper body.
-
Step 7
Keep your hips slightly off the ground and try to move and rotate them constantly. Many jujitsu moves come from the guard position. Those moves all rely on the ability to swivel and rotate your hips.
-
Step 8
Keep your head tucked to the opponent's chest when they are trying to strike you. This will not allow them to get any leverage into the strikes.
-
Step 9
Maintain as much control as you can over the other fighter's arms and hands. This sets up other jujitsu techniques and saves you from getting hit in the face.
