Today something new as I'm toying with the idea of adding a
few no-gi classes into my BJJ studies next year. So we started with some basic
positional stuff.
Pummelling: In an ideal world, you are looking for double
underhooks on a standing opponent. But this rarely happens, so you generally
want head control and bicep control with the opponent's head sandwiched between
your head and arm. In terms of movement, this means you can drive the opponent
to the side and expose a leg for the single leg takedown. You are also looking
to deny the opponent inside space.
Attacks: collar chokes are out but armbars, triangles and
omoplatas are good to use. Leg locks and wristlocks are also a decent option if
you can catch them quickly enough.
Butterfly guard: is a good option for no-gi because it
transfers quite easily from gi to no-gi. You can use most of the same attacks
from butterfly and also use the overhook guard. You must keep hooks active,
though.
Things to remember: Deny opponent inside space when
pummelling; keep hooks active in butterfly guard.
