The hold down position is the one most effective bottom guard positions to be in; whether it is a MMA fight or a Self-Defense situation.The hold down position allows you to to control your opponent's posture, body position, and easily transition to a variety of submissions (if MMA), joint breaks (if Self-Defense) or get back to your feet.
The man demonstrating in these is 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, American Top Team MMA Trainer and MOST importantly my jiu-jitsu teacher: Luigi Mondelli.
These videos go over the basics of securing the hold down position, as well as 2 simple submissions and finally how to get up from the position.
