Latif Kadri walks you through the complete guide to improving your position and excelling from bottom side control
Being stuck inside control is one of the least desirable positions to be in Jiu-Jitsu. Given the overall evolution of technique in this sport, a technique for top-side control has become increasingly effective. Not only do you need to know how to efficiently get back to a guard, but developing strong attacks from the bottom is a must and Latif Kadri goes over just that in this series.
The most unique aspect of these techniques is Latif’s ability to seamlessly turn a defensive position into a position with numerous high-level attacks. Look at the setup and finishing mechanics to sneaky kimura’s from the bottom and tap your opponent before they even realize they weren’t dominating the position. Additionally, understand that you are still in a compromised position from the bottom and learn how to pull off these techniques while keeping yourself the same at the same time.
Utilize headlocks from the bottom to your advantage to threaten submissions and transition to a better spot. The main goals of these techniques are to keep you safe, while also teaching you how to turn a bad position into a good position. You will be amazed as you watch Latif pull off these submissions and retain a workable guard from some of the worst spots. He truly teaches how to become the ultimate assassin from bottom side control.
Use this philosophy to expand how you think about escapes and submissions from all positions; not just side control. The creativeness in Latif’s teachings inspires the same energy into those who watch him. Providing a whole new outlook on improving your position, use the techniques in this instructional and watch your success on the mats explode!
