How To Do The Perfect BJJ Side Control Drills

In this video Professor Marcio Lemos explains how to do the perfect BJJ side control Solo Drills. Lemos explains exactly what you have to do the be able to use and generate as much weight as possible on top of your opponent from top side control.

Amazing to see how many great details there are in these basic Drills he showed.

The Side Control has always been one of the most powerful and dangerous positions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

It's extremely hard to escape from when done correctly, and it offers a multitude of attacks that can easily overwhelm any opponent.

Unfortunately, too many students only see it as a stalling position, where the goal is to hold their opponent down long enough so they can score their points, hoping they can eventually transition into the mount or back controls.

If you are one of them, it's time for a change... it's time to start utilizing the Side Control as an ATTACKING position, and finish the match right there!

Not only that, but also how to properly distribute your body weight, identify points of control, and transition back and forth from the various types of Side Control: Kesa Gatame, North & South, Mouse Trap, Chest-on-Chest, Reverse Kesa Gatame, and Knee-on-Belly.

CONTROL. OVERWHELM. SUBMIT.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
