The Roll to Elbow

One of my favorite Non-BJJ Drills for Jiu-Jitsu

Today we'll be breaking down the first couple of steps of the [Turkish] Getup or TGU.


I'm sure you've noticed how much carry over the getup has to grappling. The longer I've been on the mat (16 years and counting) the more I've realized to importance of these two concepts:


  • Posture - and the ability to be strong in that posture.
  • Positioning - and the ability to be strong enough to maintain the position.

position before submission

This is where the above concepts come into play.


In order to have an effective and powerful submission, you MUST first have good posture and great positioning.



This is the same as having a good clean before each press. Your press will only be as good as the clean that came before it.



Same goes for posture and positioning before the submission.
