A partnership between Stephan Kesting, a BJJ black belt, producer and co-teacher of The Submission Formula, and Rob Biernacki, a BJJ black belt coach well known for his ground-breaking BJJ Formula and Modern Leglock Formula has been proved so far to be extremely successful.
Rob is among the forefront of the new wave of BJJ instructors, using sports science, biomechanics, kinesiology and a conceptual approach to the martial arts.
His approach to developing The Submission Formula combined intensive research, competition analysis, and experimentation with techniques and strategies learned from some of the best instructors and competitors around the country.
Rob has traveled to train with Marcelo Garcia, Caio Terra, Eddie Cummings, Paul Schreiner, and Henry Akins, Ryan Hall, Dean Lister, Jake McKenzie, Ricardo Liborio, and Charles McCarthy from ATT from whom he received his black belt.
In this 17-minute masterclass video, he shares with us the biomechanics of making the submissions much tighter and effective. In that presentation, he focuses on three main “ingredients” that need to be separately addressed, but in the end combined together:
- Compression
- Rotation
- Extension
He shows how to apply these principles in three different submissions: kimura, armbar, and bicep slicer. The concepts in this video can be applied to any submission, because they are universal concepts.
