Here's a fundamental skill in any form of grappling or sport fighting-getting from the bottom guard to the top ride position. This video shows how we approach this at Welcome Mat. There are other good ways to do this move as well, but this video shows some of what we consider the basic moves in getting from the bottom guard to a top ride and controlling position. This type of technical skill is what we call "bread and butter" skill-the basics that are necessary for success. Always work to improve your position and control your opponent.  Demonstration and coaching by Derrick Darling with Aric Weaver and additional coaching commentary by Steve Scott.
