Common BJJ Problems & FAQ
To maintain a strong base, actively engage your core and keep your hips low to the mat, creating a stable foundation. Your knees should be driving into your opponent's hips or thighs, not just passively resting, to create frames and prevent them from collapsing your structure.
To prevent stacking during an armbar from mount, ensure your hips are actively pressing forward and down, creating a strong connection. Simultaneously, keep your opponent's arm secured by driving your chest into their bicep, preventing them from posturing up and driving their weight into you.
Focus on actively 'shrimping' your hips away from your opponent's pressure, creating space to re-establish your guard. Simultaneously, use your legs to create frames by extending them against their hips or knees, preventing their weight from settling and driving you down.
