BJJ Fundamentals: High crotch to kata guruma

BJJ Fundamentals: High crotch to kata guruma

From Palestra Jiu-Jitsu

May 27, 2021

In this video I am showing you two variations of a take down when you attempt a high crotch. In the first variation the opponent under hooks you and you switch to kata guruma immediately, in the second your opponent under hooks you and sprawls so you need to make an extra adjustment to apply the kata guruma.

Have you tried this move? It is certainly one that requires a lot of practice and for you to nail the timing.

If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section below.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
