If you’ve been around the jiujitsu scene for even a brief amount of time you probably know who Eddie Bravo is. The Jean Jacques Machado black belt shot to fame with an upset victory over 3x ADCC champion Royler Gracie at the 2003 ADCC Championships. Since then he went on to open his highly popular 10th Planet Jiujitsu system of schools, which has been influential in the MMA and No-Gi scenes.
In this video he shows a half guard technique called The Whip Down, which helps create space for the bottom player and sets up for an Electric Chair sweep. If you’re finding yourself constantly stuck underneath top game players in the gym, The Whip Down can help open up offensive options from the bottom.
If you’re interested in learning more about the 10th Planet system you can find more in his Mastering The Rubber Guard book or drop in to a 10th Planet school near you.
