04:32 - The first takedown Giancarlo goes over from the standing body lock is Uki Goshi (power twist.) Lock hands palm-to-palm or wrist-to-wrist. Step deep with your inside leg, point your toes toward your opponent, and circle while lifting their leg slightly. As you circle, turn your body in the same direction your opponent is facing, which lifts and rotates them. Keep circling until their hand touches the mat. If the opponent keeps the whizzer, keep circling until their back hits the mat, ending in a chest-to-chest half guard where you can start passing. If they remove the whizzer, you’ll often go behind into turtle with chest-to-back connection and your knee behind their knee.

01:32 - There are two types of inside camping: low head and high head. Low head inside camping is when your hips are higher than your head. It’s used when your opponent has long-range frames—like when they push with their knees or post on your shoulders to keep you away. In this case, Gordon uses three grips: one on the near knee to stop the foot from going to the hip, a V-grip on the far ankle, and his head glued to their far shoulder. Eventually, the opponent realizes pushing isn’t working and gets tired. That’s when Gordon switches to high head inside camping, where his head is now higher than his hips and he’s closer to the opponent. The grips he uses when high head inside camping are: a post on the near knee, pulls on the far shoulder, and connects his hip to their tailbone to block butterfly hooks. The idea is to just “camp” on the person—not trying to pass right away, just sitting on their frames and making them work.

00:01 - When trapping arms from the back, we have to use our top leg to trap the arm which means our opponent will go into a turning escape to defend. We will need to use our arms to stop the turning escape so our legs are free to trap the arm. We can do this by either being heavy on the top shoulder or taking the bottom shoulder off the mat.
