Killing the Near Side Arm by Ante Dzolic (On-demand)

Killing the Near Side Arm

A System for Crushing Side Control

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Ante Dzolic teaches you how to control and attack from side control.  In this course you’ll learn what the major priorities in controlling opponents in Side Control are as well as how to stop their escape attempts. 

Side Control/Side Mount/Cross Sides is widely considered one of the best positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.   But often you will see students failing greatly at finishing their opponents once there and reducing them to holding and squeezing with a tight seatbelt to pass for offense.  The purpose of this course is to help change that!

This course will teach you how to deny escape to your opponent first and simultaneously create submission opportunities for yourself.

The instructional begins by reviewing fundamental concepts, strategies and goals.   You’ll learn important movements, how and when to apply pressure as well as the overriding goal of the system. 

The course will continue by teaching a number of attacks in small modules.  These modules will be presented in a compartmentalized fashion where you can just study and apply any one series at a time as well as connecting the different modules together creating unrelenting pressure on your opponents.  The purpose is to make it easy to learn and easy to build a large arsenal of weapons at your disposal. 

You’ll then study different transitions to the mounted position as well as unique submission opportunities that will present themselves when employing this system of control and attack. 

You will also learn easy ways to stop and/or counter guard recovery techniques and movements you’ll face.  The course will conclude with answers on what to do when you absolutely can’t neutralize the near side arm.  Thereby creating a complete system of attack for you to employ.
