Mini Ep. 37: Rotational Control

Mini Ep. 37: Rotational Control

From BJJ Mental Models

January 16, 2025 · 9:51

In this week's mini-episode we explain rotational control, a mental model that helps us better secure positions and complete submissions. Rotational control involves either preventing your opponent from rotating their torso, or allowing them to rotate so you can follow and improve your position. Achieving rotational control usually requires you to occupy their elbow-knee space along their torso, or restrict the movement of their far arm/leg so they can't spin.
