Master Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Techniques at The Dojo
From fundamental sweeps to complex submissions, we teach the leverage and strategy that make BJJ the thinking person's martial art.
This is a tutorial on the fundamentals of the Rear Naked Choke, one of the most effective submissions in BJJ. I explain the seatbelt grip, hand positioning, and how to apply pressure correctly for a successful finish.
Here, I demonstrate the John Wayne sweep from half guard, a great option to reverse a bad position. This technique uses a knee lever to off-balance an opponent who has an underhook, allowing you to recover or get on top.
When your opponent tries to backstep out of your half guard, you can use this sweep to reverse the position. This video shows how to use lapel grips and hooks in the Gi to elevate and sweep your opponent.
This is a demonstration of a fundamental sweep from the deep half guard position. By using your opponent's weight against them and rocking your legs, you can create the momentum needed to get on top and transition to a pass.
Getting to the deep half guard is a key skill. In this instructional, I show how to enter the position when your opponent sprawls to defend your initial half guard entry, using their momentum to get underneath them.
BJJ is a game of action and reaction. This video shows a half guard sequence where an initial sweep attempt is defended, leading to a back-take opportunity by coming out the back door.
This clip demonstrates a full sequence from the Coyote Guard. I show how to execute a sweep and transition directly into a knee bar submission, highlighting the importance of leg positioning to control your opponent.
About this collection
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't about being the strongest person on the mat; it is about efficiency. In our sessions, we focus on high-percentage mechanics—like the Rear Naked Choke or the John Wayne sweep—that allow smaller practitioners to control larger opponents. You won't just learn moves; you will learn the mechanics behind every grip and transition, which is what actually makes your BJJ stick.
BJJ is a game of human chess. At The Dojo, our curriculum bridges the gap between raw athleticism and technical mastery. We break down both Gi and No-Gi grappling, teaching you how to build a base that does not crumble under pressure.
Whether you are working from the guard or looking for a submission finish, our classes focus on logical sequences. We do not teach magic tricks; we teach repeatable patterns. You will spend time drilling movements—like escaping side control or entering single-leg X-guards—until they become reflexive. Repetition is how you develop the muscle memory required to survive live sparring.
Our facility in HSR Layout, Bangalore, is designed for exactly this. We use puzzle mats to ensure a safe environment for live sessions, which is where the real learning happens. You will be training with a diverse group—from fitness enthusiasts to competitive athletes—all pushing for progress. If you are tired of generic fitness classes that do not offer real skill, this is the place to build actual grappling competence.
The Dojo
We built The Dojo as a space for warriors to grow, not just a place to burn calories. Our classes are about building a real community where you will test your skills against partners who care about your progress as much as their own.
