Knee on belly
Brazilian jiu-jitsu / Popular
Hold, attack and transition from knee on belly.
What coaches agree on
- Keep switching your knee from side to side to stay glued to your opponent's hips as they turn or try to escape.
- Read what your opponent gives you when they defend - a pushed knee, a blocked arm, an exposed back - and take the specific attack that opening creates.

Common mistakes
- Basing too far forward, sitting too high, or flattening out too low on top gets you swept or rolled off the position.
