To effectively element guard in BJJ, focus on the following techniques and strategies:

Guard Retention: Synchronize your upper and lower body, maintain knee-to-chest connection, and use the high pummel to create space while keeping your leg structure intact. Offset your legs to one high and one low to break your opponent's grips and slow their passing options. Create strong frames with your arms, legs, or shins to slow forward pressure and give you time to reposition.

Passing Techniques: Learn pressure-based and dynamic passing methods to handle different opponents and situations. Pressure passes use weight distribution and slow, controlled movements to flatten your opponent’s defenses, while dynamic passes rely on speed, timing, and rapid direction changes.

Practice Drills: Incorporate drills like the squashing drill, stepping drill, wall guard retention drills, and solo drills for guard retention to improve your guard retention skills.

By mastering these elements, you can develop a strong guard game in BJJ, allowing you to control the match and secure submissions. Remember, practice is key, and with the right approach, you can become proficient in guarding your position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The element mount in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a powerful position that requires a combination of control, submission finishing ability, and technical precision. Here are the key elements to master the mount position:
Control: The mount position is about control. Your opponent should feel as if there is no way out. Beginners often rush to get an armbar or choke, but control is key.

Submission Finishing: The mount position is not just for submissions. It is a position that can lead to a variety of submissions, including armbars and chokes.

Technique: Mastering the mount requires a strong understanding of the mechanics and execution. This includes finding the middle, maintaining equal weight distribution, and being aware of your partner's movements.

Escape Systems: The mount position is not invincible. It is crucial to have a system in place to escape from the mount. This includes recognizing common mount escapes and counteracting them effectively.

By focusing on these elements, practitioners can develop a strong mount position and become more effective in their grappling.

Shrimping is a fundamental movement in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that involves using hip movement to create space and escape from inferior positions. It is essential for survival in bottom positions and forms the basis of many defensive strategies. Here are the key elements to master shrimping in BJJ:
Timing and Timing: Shrimping relies on timing and angle rather than speed or power. It is crucial to create space without relying on strength.

Body Positioning: Proper body positioning is key. Your feet should push into the mat while your shoulders stay connected, allowing your hips to slide away at an angle.

Movement Direction: Shrimping works best when done diagonally, creating angles that break pressure rather than fighting it head-on.

Repetitive Movements: Small, repeated hip movements are often more effective than one large explosive motion.

Avoiding Common Errors: Common mistakes include moving only your legs and not the hips, staying flat on the back, trying to push the opponent instead of moving away, and rushing the movement without frames.

By mastering these elements, practitioners can effectively use shrimping to create space and escape from various positions in BJJ.

The bridge and roll technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a fundamental movement that allows practitioners to escape from the mount position and regain control. It involves bridging the hips off the ground and rolling the opponent over, creating an opportunity to regain a dominant position. The technique requires a solid defensive frame, precise limb trapping, and explosive hip power. It is essential for both self-defense and competition, as it can be a decisive move in a grappling situation.

 Tuesday 21 April 2026 NPA WELCOMES LIFE SENTENCES IN DEADLY UPINGTON ROAD RAGE DOUBLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE Upington, Northern Cape – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the sentence imposed on John Ivan Francious Mouton (50), a resident of Upington, who was convicted by the High Court in Upington on two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder following a tragic and senseless incident arising from a road collision. The matter stems from events that unfolded in the early hours of 17 December 2022. The accused was involved in a motor vehicle collision with Joshua Rock. Following the collision, he retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and threatened Rock. During this confrontation, Shadrack Dube, a friend of Rock, arrived at the scene and attempted to intervene and defuse the situation. Despite these efforts, the accused discharged his firearm twice.

  The following article was published on 04/14/2025 By Ben Lefebvre Politico.com : 2025: The U.S. oil industry is suffering from the lowest crude prices in years, surging costs for steel and an economic downturn that could send consumer demand for its products plummeting. Oil prices have tumbled nearly 15 percent since April 2 to their lowest level since April 2021, a drop that is testing oil executives’ patience. And it’s prompting some in the industry to warn the White House that Trump’s trade policy risks killing his plan for “energy dominance.” So far, though, the sector is sticking with its support of President Donald Trump, hoping that his calls to negotiate trade pacts with individual countries to avoid tariffs and Republicans’ plan to extend tax cuts would offset their financial pain. The industry’s reluctance to publicly criticize Trump is noteworthy given the pain it is feeling from the import taxes he’s hiked on the steel that oil companies need for new pipelines and pro...
