Biomechanical Flow System
BJJ through leverage, angles, & pressure points. Biomechanical pathways from standing through dominant positions & submissions.
Flow outline
Gameplan
- Once set, strategic for applying biomechanical principles: controlling distance, managing leverage points, and creating pressure differentials to dictate positional flow
Standing
- initial engagement phase focusing on base, posture, and grip mechanics to set control vectors before ground engagement. switch if it stalls
Seated Guard
- Usually Open guard position utilizing hip angle and leg leverage to control distance while maintaining offensive options through hip mobility
Take The Back
- Once set, dominant positional control achieved through hip-to-hip connection and upper body leverage, creating multiple submission vectors while limiting opponent's defensive options
Inside Trip Takedown
- Takedown utilizing leg leverage against opponent's base, creating off-balance through controlled force application at specific pressure points
Reverse Triangle
- From here, Submission applying angular pressure through leg entanglement, creating compression forces on the carotid arteries while controlling upper body leverage
Armbar
- Joint manipulation applying hyperextension force to the elbow through controlled leverage, utilizing hip pressure and angle optimization
Kimura
- shoulder lock applying rotational torque through controlled leverage, using the opponent's arm as a lever against their own body mechanics
Mount
- From here, High-control position applying downward pressure through hip connection and weight distribution, limiting opponent's mobility while creating submission angles. Don’t force it
Arm Triangle
- Once set, blood choke applying compression through arm positioning and shoulder pressure, utilizing mechanical advantage to restrict carotid blood flow
Side Control
- positional dominance through crossface pressure and hip control, creating leverage points for transitions and submissions while limiting opponent's movement vectors
Half Guard (Top)
- quick note: control position utilizing underhook mechanics and hip pressure to pass the guard while maintaining weight distribution advantages
S Mount
- High-mounted position creating extreme hip pressure and angle control, optimizing leverage for arm attacks through enhanced mechanical advantage
Armbar
- most of the time joint manipulation applying hyperextension force to the elbow through controlled leverage, utilizing hip pressure and angle optimization. angle matters
Armbar (Farside)
- Armbar variation applying leverage from the opposite side, utilizing hip rotation and pressure differentials to isolate the joint. Angle matters
Arm Triangle
- Once set, blood choke applying compression through arm positioning and shoulder pressure, utilizing mechanical advantage to restrict carotid blood flow
Half Butterfly
- Guard position utilizing single leg hook for leverage control, creating sweep opportunities through hip elevation and angle manipulation. Don’t force it
Deep Half Guard
- If they frame, if it shows up, positional control from underneath utilizing deep underhook mechanics and hip leverage to off-balance opponents and create sweep vectors
Single Leg X
- Guard position applying leg entanglement for leverage control, creating sweep and submission opportunities through hip angle optimization. Switch if it stalls
Over Under Pass
- guard passing technique utilizing differential pressure application - overhook control on one side combined with underhook leverage on the other
Branch conditions
- establish double underhooks
- Execute Inside Trip
- apply reverse triangle
- Transition To Armbar
- Apply Kimura Grip
- advance to mount
- Force Half Guard Entry
- Isolate Arms For Control
- Transition To S Mount
- Establish Side Control
- switch to Half Guard Top
- apply arm triangle
- Transition To Farside Armbar
- Establish Underhook Crossface
- switch to Half Butterfly
- Secure Underhook Control
