Although Lucas Lepri has an extremely well-developed overall BJJ game, he is known for his incredible skills from the Top. Whether it’s guard passing, knee on belly, or side control Lucas has made a career by punishing the opposition from the Top position! In his latest instructional, Precise Side Control & Knee On Belly Attacks, Lucas sets his sights on giving you a blueprint to find success from the top.
This 4-part series not only covers very effective submissions, but how to systematically apply them once you establish position. Knee On Belly and Side Control should be a hostile environment for your opponent, and this series teaches you how to create that! Lucas shares his best tips on using dominant grips and transitions to not only control your opponent, but force them to make mistakes!
In BJJ knowing is half the battle! If you can find repeatable sequences where your opponent reacts in a predictable way you can set traps for them. Precise Side Control & Knee On Belly Attacks covers common reactions you will see from both Side Control and Knee On Belly. Here Lucas shares insider tips on how to utilize your controls to “funnel” your opponent into a trap that is waiting to be sprung!
Precise Side Control & Knee On Belly Attacks also covers how to transition in between Knee On Belly and Side Control. As you apply pressure from either position, a typical reaction from an opponent is to attempt to escape and remove that pressure. This provides opportunities to transition from Side Control to Knee On Belly and vice versa. If your opponent manages to escape from one position you’ll be ready with the next!
