Week 43 – Intermediate – Double under: Defending & countering

In this week’s intermediate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) technique video, we will be diving into the world of double underhooks. Specifically, we will be focusing on defending and countering this common grappling position.

Double underhooks occur when your opponent manages to secure both of their arms underneath yours, effectively trapping you in a vulnerable position. This can be quite dangerous, as it gives your opponent a significant amount of control over your upper body and opens up various submission and control options for them.

However, fear not! In this video, we will explore a range of defensive strategies and counters to help you escape the double underhooks and regain control of the match.

Firstly, we will cover the importance of maintaining a strong base and posture when dealing with double underhooks. By keeping your hips low and your back straight, you can make it more difficult for your opponent to manipulate your body and execute their attacks.

Next, we will delve into several defensive techniques that can help you break free from the double underhooks. These include using pummeling techniques to regain inside control, framing against your opponent’s body, and utilizing hip escapes to create space.

Once we have established a strong defensive foundation, we will move on to countering the double underhooks. This involves taking advantage of your opponent’s position and using their momentum against them. We will explore techniques such as the hip toss, arm drag, and kimura lock to effectively neutralize the double underhooks and turn the tables in your favor.

Throughout the video, our experienced BJJ instructor will provide detailed explanations and demonstrations of each technique, ensuring that you fully understand the mechanics and principles behind them. Additionally, they will offer valuable insights and tips for executing these techniques with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Whether you are an intermediate BJJ practitioner looking to expand your arsenal of techniques or a beginner wanting to improve your defense against the double underhooks, this video is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel on the mat.

So, join us in this week’s video as we delve into the fascinating world of double underhooks, learning how to defend against them and counter your opponent’s attacks. Don’t let the double underhooks control your fate – take charge and dominate the match!
