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.

15:04 - Off a berimbolo, Mikey gets to crab-x. The defender is pushing him away so he takes a scoop grip on the leg and enters the calf slicer.

10:41 - We can play the "short long" position against a standing opponent, we can destabilize them while keeping our feet safe. Once we destabilize them, now their feet are weightless and we can look to implement concepts like the "cross leg." Once we bring the leg across we have good access to the secondary leg, the hips, or leg entanglements.

All Highlights

00:28 - Greg explains that conditions in grappling create specific effects. One key condition is "inside position," which occurs when a player's limbs are between the opponent's. In leg entanglements, this positioning provides direct hip access, allowing the attacker to isolate and threaten leg submissions. Greg emphasizes the importance of training around inside position to understand its effects deeply.
02:07 - Another important condition for hip access when talking about leg entanglements is the "cross leg" position, where a leg moves across the body's centerline. Similar to inside position, the cross leg also allows direct hip access for entanglements, creating additional threats through upper body control.
03:11 - Greg discusses how each condition (inside position and cross leg) doesn't just offer hip access but also controls "heel height," restricting an opponent's ability to stand or retreat effectively. This is especially effective when our partner is square meaning both their legs are the same height. When this is the case we can control both feet making it difficult for them to retract their legs or put their feet on the mat. By having access to their legs, we can control them very effectively.
04:31 - When we get into a "cross leg" entanglement, we move the foot and knee out of the way which gives us access to the hips with our legs but also with our upper body. Therefore this can lead nicely into chaining leg entanglements with wrestle ups and back takes.
05:29 - From the perspective of a standing guard passing player, denying inside position prevents leg entanglements entirely. By consistently positioning a leg centrally between the opponent's knees and preventing their feet from gaining inside position, the standing player neutralizes entanglement threats.
05:56 - Greg talking about how Deandre trained to deny leg entanglements when passing the guard. They practice a lot from positions where they put the guard player on their back and keep one leg to the inside while preventing the opponent from bringing their secondary leg to the inside. So for example when split squat passing, Deandre is monitoring the outside leg and preventing it from getting inbetween his own legs (that includes hooking onto this legs or even just occupying the pace between his legs.
06:42 - When passing the guard, Greg explains that placing an opponent's legs to the outside (cross leg from a standing perspective) not only creates passing opportunities but also gives paths to hip control, enhancing both passing and entanglement opportunities.
07:32 - The concept of "playing the entire space" is introduced, highlighting the ability to transition between top and bottom positions fluidly. This means that we can keep conditions such as inside position and cross leg in mind and apply them from both top and bottom position, creating continuous threats regardless of positional changes.
08:44 - Greg emphasizes the importance of continuously creating "paths"—paths to the hips, top positions, and back control—to avoid exhaustion and punishment from remaining static, especially in bottom positions. When grip fighting, our goal is to create these paths.
09:20 - From the double seated position, Greg introduces the "short long" position, a variation of inside position involving hooks on both close and far leg (it is basically x-guard with both legs controlled and a short top hook.) This positions provides control, heel height management, and easy transitions into leg entanglements or the cross leg position. This position also protects the attacker's feet from counterattacks.
11:44 - Greg emphasizes that knowledge alone is insufficient; practical training protocols are necessary. He shares how structured practice, rather than memorization, is crucial in developing the leg entanglement skills of his students.
12:58 - When Deandre Corbe first got to Standard jiu jitsu, his guard passing was a lot of side to side movement. Greg wanted to develop games to help Deandre understand the progression of guard passing. The game that he started Deandre with was the guard passer tries to control the feet and step their leg either inbetween the legs of the guard player or to the outside of them. The guard player's goal is to get both their feet inside and use the connection to destabilize the top player. This gave Deandre a clear goal to progress towards a guard pass instead of trying to just jump passed the guard.
14:53 - When Deandre Corbe first started training at Standard, he had a hard time standing up. To train this skill, Greg developed games that emphasize the idea of grip fighting to create paths to top position. One game would be starting from double seated, the attacker starts with both their feet on the inside and controls both ankles. While doing this, we are trying to get to the cross leg position and back to the straight leg position as much as possible while keeping connection with both legs. When playing this game, the attacker does not need to remain sitting but can stand up to "play the whole game." The defender's goal is to stand up and get 1 leg inside.
16:32 - Gaining access to our partner's center is an essential skill all practitioners should have. Whether we are clearing the hands and elbows to get to the shoulders or we are clearing the feet and the knees to get to the hips, this is an essential skill. We want to be able to grip fight to create paths to the center. We can play a game from double seated position to develop this skill from leg entanglements. The win condition for the attacker is to connect your legs or hands to your partner's hips while keeping them grounded. The defender wins if they get to their feet with 1 foot in the middle (the order in which they happen does not matter.)
