BJJ Blue Belt Curriculum - Triangle from Spider Guard

I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu somewhere around 10 years and love bringing those stories to the blockchain. Besides tales of training and competition, I believe it is a community service to implant high-quality instructional content on the blockchain. Whether it exercises your brain a little, helps you with your training or even inspires you to try it out if you haven't yet, time well invested!

I haven't worn a blue belt in a number years but have already posted our white belt curriculum here https://hive.blog/steemitbjj/@zekepickleman/white-belt-bjj-curriculum-all-in-one-place. I use these and white and blue belt techniques in every fight and I love picking up on new details while learning it again. It would be great to see old bjj friends like @bjjlifestyle, @disc-jitsu87, @knightbjj, @evecab, @matkodurko, @jiujitsu, and @bigapplebo who have been repping BJJ on the blockchain for years.

Blue Belt Curriculum - Triangle from Spider Guard


This video is from a live class edited down to the technique demonstrations. So, it effectively brings you in on a class of some high-level instruction of this cool technique.

Personal perspective/take-aways:

  • I love how he packs a quick review of how to actually get to the spider guard which is probably a BJJ only thing.
  • After the clap, there are 5-10 minutes of drilling and practicing this cool entry to spider guard, then the choke. We say choke but it is more of a blocking of the arteries and no actual attacking of the trachea.
  • The details of the foot on the shoulder to create space and the shoulder walk to get the better finishing angle are gold when practicing this under full resistance.
  • I usually post both of my arms to avoid the stack all together as I have a less flexible neck but I love the leg grab reversal when things don't go quite as planned.
  • Kris certainly absorbs a great many chokes this session but he is an MMA fighter and he likes it. I will bring you along for his next pro fight as I have with his past half dozen.

    This edition of the Blue Belt Curriculum is dedicated to my relatively new friend @dkid14 who is looking to get active and lose 25 pounds in Utah! Plenty of good academies there if you are in Jordan or Salt Lake City. The next edition will get into another old-skool BJJ submission from this position and you will feel like a gangsta when you hit it the first time in sparring.

Review and Background

jj4l-logo2_1_orig.png
The Jiu Jitsu for Life Team is based out of Toronto Canada where Jorge Britto leads by example. Probably a dozen world champs have trained with this team and a dozen academies across the continent. I trained there for a couple years and moved away from the big city only to be lucky enough to have Toronto BJJ instructor Ryan O'Shea set up his own gym here at https://stratfordbjj.com

This curriculum is not universal, but one we follow as good basics for each belt to fill out your game. Developed by Brazilian born black belts, it is heavily rooted in old-school technique but open enough for new developments and concepts and including the latest Mikey Lock, Tarikoplata, Buggy choke, or what-have-you. Our head instructor Ryan is a world-class instructor and here is your free seminar.

Definitely.

Jiu Jitsu was my choice when the gym became boring and repetitive. Staying fit while building your skills to defend your self and family should be inspiring!
