Biomechanical Flow System

BJJ through leverage, angles, & pressure points. Biomechanical pathways from standing through dominant positions & submissions, w/ weight distribution & joint alignment as the foundation

Flow outline

  1. Tavling

    • The initial engagement phase where distance management and grip fighting set the biomechanical for takedown execution, focusing on breaking the opponent's base through leverage. Angle matters

  2. Standing

    • Once set, most of the time the upright position where balance, posture, and center of gravity manipulation create opportunities for takedowns or defensive responses to opponent's attacks

  3. Three Pull Takedown

    • Key detail: quick note: a takedown technique utilizing sequential pulling motions to disrupt the opponent's balance through angular momentum and leverage, creating openings for ground engagement. don’t force it

  4. Side Control Top

    • From here, if it shows up, a dominant position applying cross-face pressure and shoulder weight distribution to control the opponent's upper body, limiting their mobility through biomechanical constraints

  5. Guard Top

    • Once set, the position of controlling an opponent from within their guard, focusing on posture maintenance and pressure points to prevent sweeps while setting up guard passes

  6. Mount

    • Once set, from here, a high-control position where weight distribution over the opponent's torso creates maximum leverage for submissions, utilizing hip pressure and angle control to keep dominance. timing beats strength

  7. Americana Kimura

    • Quick note: Shoulder lock submissions that apply rotational torque to the glenohumeral joint through precise angle control and leverage against the opponent's skeletal structure

  8. Choke

    • If they frame, quick note: blood restriction techniques that apply pressure to the carotid arteries through precise angle and leverage, disrupting cerebral blood flow through biomechanical compression

  9. Taken Down

    • From here, from here, the defensive position after being brought to the mat, focusing on impact dispersion and immediate hip mobility to set guard or escape frameworks. switch if it stalls

  10. Side Bottom

    • Key detail: the defensive position under side control, utilizing frames and hip angles to create space and disrupt the opponent's pressure distribution for escape opportunities. timing beats strength

  11. Guard Bottom

    • the defensive position using leg and hip control to manage distance and create leverage for sweeps or submissions through angular manipulation

  12. S Mount Armbar

    • Usually An armbar variation from mount that uses the S-mount position to create superior leverage angles on the elbow joint through hip rotation and weight distribution

  13. Back Control

    • the most dominant position in bjj, applying hooks and upper body control to restrict opponent movement while creating multiple submission angles through leverage points

  14. Bow And Arrow

    • Key detail: often a choke that applies rotational torque to the cervical spine through precise angle control and leverage, utilizing the opponent's gi for mechanical advantage

  15. Rear Naked Choke

    • A blood choke that applies precise pressure to the carotid arteries through biomechanical alignment of the forearm against the neck, utilizing leverage rather than strength. Switch if it stalls

  16. Armbar

    • Quick note: A joint lock that hyperextends the elbow through leverage applied perpendicular to the joint's natural range of motion, utilizing hip positioning for maximum mechanical advantage

  17. Triangle

    • If they frame, from here, a choke that applies pressure to the carotid arteries through leg compression, utilizing angle control and hip positioning to maximize leverage on the opponent's neck

  18. Scissor Sweep

    • Once set, often a sweep that uses opposing leg forces and hip elevation to disrupt the opponent's base, creating angular momentum for positional reversal through leverage principles. timing beats strength

  19. Cross Collar Choke

    • Most of the time A gi choke that applies pressure to the carotid arteries through cross-grip leverage, utilizing wrist flexion and elbow positioning for optimal biomechanical advantage

  20. Pass Guard

    • The process of bypassing the opponent's leg defenses through pressure distribution and angle control, utilizing leverage points to overcome their defensive frameworks

  21. Trap Leg Or Extend

    • From here, A transitional movement that controls the opponent's leg through leverage points, either trapping it for control or extending it to disrupt their base mechanics

  22. Ankle Pick

    • Most of the time A takedown that disrupts the opponent's base by leveraging their ankle against their center of gravity, utilizing minimal force through precise angle application
