If one has watched those big fights on TV such as UFC, he or she will notice that fights would end up on the ground most of the time. In order to combat giving up while getting ground and pounded, martial artists have adapted a ground game martial art into their arsenal known as Brazilian Jiujitsu Oklahoma City or BJJ for short. Since this is a street art, it aims to finish the battle in the fastest way possible, making it perfect for ground games.

Now, the very first move, which also happens to be the most basic one, is the guard or the default stance in BJJ. In the guard mode, one will be lying on his or her back with both arms and legs slightly bent going toward the core area. This is to prepare for the event of an attack from the top.

Now, the thing about this type of guard is that it can be broken if ever the opponent is a really strong one. The key here is to try to contort the body in such a way that the opponent cannot get a lock in and to get a chance to escape. The best way to do that is to assume a bridge position wherein the pelvic area is brought upward to maintain a comfy position.

Of course, bridging will not throw the opponent away to allow one to get ready for an attack. In that case, a hip escape following a bridge may be needed. To do this, simply start from the guard, lift the pelvic area upward, then twist the hips sideways sharply to get on top of the enemy.

There will be times when the opponent is already trying to get into a mount to do a ground and pound. In order to prevent this, one has to try to assume a position that resembles that of a shrimp. Going sideways will give one more room to avoid a ground and pound attack at the same time giving a chance to kick the enemy away.

Those are some of the defensive moves that can be used to escape and guard. There are techniques used for attacking the adversary instead of just trying to get out of an attack. Like in most UFC fights, one would see the very common triangle choke used for making an adversary pass out.

To do this, grab one of the arms of the enemy and wrap the legs around his or her head. Assume an inverted triangle position with the legs and pull the head down while squeezing the legs. If done correctly, the opponent will either tap out from pain of losing oxygen or eventually pass out.

Now, these are just some basic things that one will be learning as a beginner when he or she begins lessons. Of course, there are so many more things that one will also learn in the process. But by knowing the basics, it is possible for one to at least grasp the idea and know whether it is for him or her.
