Ep. 394: Position Series: No-Gi Lasso, feat. Rob Biernacki

This week we're joined again by Rob Biernacki! Rob is the head instructor of Island Top Team and the mind behind BJJ Concepts. In this episode, Rob breaks down how he built a working no-gi version of the lasso, a position long considered gi-only. Topics include: minding the gap in no-gi grips, the inverted grip, the omoplata as a control system, wedging, and hybrid lasso guards.Rob on Instagram:https://instagram.com/islandtopteamLearn from Rob at BJJ Concepts:https://bjjconcepts.netGet Rob's No-Gi Lasso instructional:https://bjjconcepts.net/instructionalsMental models discussed in this episode:Do What Workshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/do-what-worksGrips Dictate Positionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/grips-dictate-positionPrioritize Longevityhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/prioritize-longevityMind the Gaphttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/mind-the-gapKinetic Chainshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/kinetic-chainsCore Mechanicshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/core-mechanicsScientific Methodhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/scientific-method⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!
