Renato Migliaccio: The Essence of BJJ Basics

Renato Migliaccio

Renato Migliaccio is a BJJ Pan American Champion, European Champion, and Brazilian National Champion. His new course called "Invicible Basics" is designed to give students mastery over BJJ's fundamental positions, transitions, and submissions, and it is not available online with his FREE Video series. [ Get Renato's "Invincible Basics" and Free Video Series Here! ]

Conceptual understanding in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a science. Conceptual understanding is the idea that a certain part of a technique will hold through in multiple other areas of the sport. A great example of this is the idea of initial snugness. If you can lock on your submission attempt as snug and tight to the person as possible, the more likely you will get your finish. If you attempt an armbar you are more likely to get the tap the tighter your hips are onto their shoulder. If you attempt a rear naked choke you are more likely to get the tap if you shoot your choking arm in with no space to give. Recently I was able to interview Renato Migliaccio and we talked conceptually about the essence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Scoring A Sweet Electric Chair Sweep & Submission!

Thia sweep starts in the half guard

The beautiful thing about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that there is so many ways you can go about ending a match with a submission.  There are so many options that it can make your head spin just thinking about it!  Armbars, guillotine, kimura, heel hook, omoplata, rear naked choke, toe hold…well, you get the point; there’s a lot!

That’s why when I see something that looks difficult—and pretty cool—I HAVE to learn it ASAP!  Luckily enough, I was searching through YouTube and found an awesome technique from the good folks over at Submissions101.

In this particular setup, they breakdown a pretty slick electric chair sweep transition into a submission.  The degree of difficulty is ramped up a little bit for this move, but it isn’t impossible to pull off.  In fact, once you break down the subtle steps, it can be a nice new addition to anyone’s arsenal of submissions!
