In this DVD, Soneca and Amal show the details of some
fairly basic, yet highly effective attacks from side control.
Soneca's techniques form a nice chain from a single basic position.
Amal's techniques also chain together very nicely. All of these
positions work with or without the gi.
At the end of this DVD, I have included a review all section,
which has a single take of each technique at full speed, to allow
for a quick review and rapid learning.
Part 1: Soneca's Side Control Attacks. (From Soneca's Side
Control Crush Position)
1. Soneca shows his side control crush position, which makes
your opponent want you to go to mount, or anywhere else, to relieve
the pressure. From experience let me tell you, the side control
crush if done correctly, is miserable. Soneca, who weighs 145,
feels like he weighs 300 pounds when he does this. His shoulder
feels like a concrete truck on my neck during this move.
From here, Soneca shows how to transition to the mount, without
giving your opponent any space to counter, crushing him the entire
time.
2. From the basic side control crush position, he shows how to
get the americana, with his own little trick for starting the
arm to move into the americana.
3. He now shows a second option from this position, going for
the far side armbar. Basic technique, but Soneca shows some nice
detail on freeing and securing the arm, and a way to maintain
position to prevent the rollover armbar defense.
4. Now, if you cannot open the arm for 2 or 3, Soneca shows you
a tricky and cool way to get the straight arm bar on the same
side that you are pinning from.
5. Should the above fail to work for you, Soneca now gives you
a triangle attack to finish your opponent.
Part 2: Amal's Side Control Attacks. (From the Kimura Pin
Position)
6. Circling Kimura Attack (Not the basic cross body Kimura attack).
Amal shows how to circle to secure the Kimura pin position, then
the details on how to finish with a Kimura in an effective and
safe manner. He shows how to counter the belly roll also.
7. From the same Kimura pin position, Amal shows how to get the
straight arm lock, if the Kimura fails.
8. From the same Kimura pin position, Amal shows how to do an
effective neck scissor choke, when the Kimura and arm bar are
not working.
9. Amal now shows how to return to the Kimura if the leg scissors
fail.
10. Amal now shows how to beat the most common defense to securing
the Kimura pin position. (side to side attacking)
11. Amal now shows how to surprise your opponent by taking the
mount with a reverse direction spin. (Cool move!)
12. Review All Rapid Learning Sequence.
Helio "Soneca" Moreira started practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the
age of 8 with black belt master Cirilo Azevedo. Having fallen
in love with this Martial Art at the age of 9, he was already
a Brazilian Champion. At the age of 13, Helio moved to Rio De
Janeiro and started to practice with the Gracie Club, now known
as Barra Gracie, taught by the Machado Brothers, Ze Henrique
Leao Teixeira and Renzo Gracie. Soneca, as he is known in the
Martial Arts world, chose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as his career totally
dedicating himself to it. At the age of 22, he received from
Master Carlos Gracie Jr., the black belt he had been dreaming
of; a prestige that few people had at that time.
Soneca is currently a 4th degree black
belt and known as one of the best fighters and Masters in the
world. He is also one of the founders of Gracie Barra, currently
the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in the world. Soneca is famous
for his amazing competition victories which include Brazilian,
Pan-American, International, and World Championships. He has
also won several NHB Championships. Here are just a few of Soneca's
Championships:
- 1995 Pan-American Championship - California
- 1996 World Championship - Brazil
- 1997 Brazilian Championship - Brazil
- 1999 International Championship - Brazil
- 2001 NAGA - North American Grappling Association Champion
