Section 1

Flying Heel Hook

In the loaded middleweight division the UFC boasts, a rising star is that of Alan
The Talent Belcher. Belcher, who fights out of Biloxi, Mississippi is known for
his fun and entertaining fights. Glancing at his record, its easy for some to
assume hes a slugger that looks to put on a fun fight, given his nine KO/TKO
finishes.
However, the level of skills Alan possesses goes well beyond his highly touted
Muay Thai skills. A BJJ black belt, Belcher can very easily finish the fight
anywhere on the ground.
Belcher Breakdown: Flying Heel Hooks
In both MMA and BJJ, there is a very common issue: takedowns. Either going
for the double leg, the trip or a throw, opponents can be overly stubborn and
disallow any further progress on the attempt. However, Alan Belcher provides a
very effectiveand rather basicway to throw a curveball at your opponent.
The setup for this perspective move is as if we were trying to score a nice throw
on our opponent. As we went in, they noticed what we were looking for a
stuffed it. With firm wrist control and overall stubbornness, our opponent has
taken our throw away.
While that may be out of the picture, it also opens up a new possibility for the
heel hook. Heres how:

The first major step of this move is to plant with our free hand. This will
establish a base for the move to be executed from.

Swing your outside leg behind your opponent, and as Alan calls it, sweep
him with the broomstick.

From here, you should be at a slight angle with one of his legs placed in
between yours.

Squeezing the legs, begin to attack the heel.

Once you have it locked up, treat it like a normal heel hook and finish the
fight/match!
Has Belcher Ever Won With A Heel Hook?

While he has scored seven submission victories, Belcher has never won a fight
with it. However, this should not hold much weight as it is quite difficult to
utilize this move while in a fight.
Unlike BJJ, when a fighter posts with his hand to go for the sweep, they become
susceptible to vicious strikes. This would negate any type of interest when it
comes to attempting the move. Yet in still, the fact that Belcher has this move
in his arsenal should be enough to keep other fighters on their toes.
Looking at his technique videos, its easy to see why Alan Belcher is such a
popular fighter in the UFC. His skill set allows him to compete with the best of
the best, and is ready to take on any fighter at any time.

Section 2

Triangle from Side Control to Armbar

To all my grapplers out there, allow me to speak with you for a moment. In Jiu Jitsu
its very common, especially when grappling bigger guys, to have difficulty passing
side control and gaining a more dominant position.
It has happened to us all whether we couldnt pass or attempt a submission, but luckily
Alan Belcher has come to save the day and breaks down an extremely impressive
triangle/armbar hybrid move from side control. Lets take a peak.
Passing Side Control
So here we are; we scored a takedown and eventually wound up in side control but just
cant make our next move. As we underhook the head, we discover our opponent is
stubborn and is not moving their arm. This calls for action, so we obtain a grip and
begin to squeeze. With our body weight sinking into them, the aim is to have the arm
free up. To add insult to injury, switch your knee placement to add even more dead
weight onto them.
Now, switch your knees back ending with your left knee in their hip. Rotating up
towards their head, the arm should be exposed fully. Slightly lean backwards, while
placing your leg on his belly, faking a knee-to-belly pass.
Fearing a pass, they will likely look to stuff your knee. When they do, pin their arm to
the body while scooping their head upwards. Staying tight to the body, swing your leg
over the body, ending in what looks like a modified s-guard.
From here, you will want to squeeze your knees together, further exposing the arm.
From here, well, its all your choice.

You Can Go For The Armbar, or the Triangle.

-Tip from Alan Belcher

At this point, your opponent is at your mercy. With your dead weight driving through
their chest and their arm exposed, its only a matter of time before you finish the fight.
When done properly, this setup will allow three ways to end the match:

Straight Arm bar: This will be the most accessible move. The arm will be sitting
there for the taking, and all you have to do is trap it with your arm and push
backwards.

Armbar: If his arm slips free, the traditional armbar is a very real option.

Triangle: Again, assuming his arm gets free, all you would need to do is grab
the arm and apply the triangle choke.

This slick setup is a beautiful tool to have in your back pocket when you find yourself
in a tough spot with a larger competitor. Not only does it make your opponent work
from their back, but it also offers three readily available submissions that can easily
end the match. And it looks really cool, too.

Section 3

Takedown Defense to Back Take

In many MMA fights, its very common to see the wall & stall tactic in which a
fighter pins their opponent against the cage. Pressing their dead weight on to
their rival, it can begin to drain their energy reserves very quickly. Likewise,
this one will cause the fans to boo a bit, but thats their problem.
Luckily, if you find yourself in this position, Alan Belcher has a sequence just for
you! Lets take a look.
Alan Belcher Cage Defense
So the fight has started as you and your opponent get a feel for one another.
Out of the blue, he shoots for a double but is only able to pin you against the
cage. Hes pressing forward, clearly taking advantage of the fight. What should
you do?
Firstly, youll want to cage sprawl; widening your stance and pressing down on
his head. From here, go for wrist control. The stance should be awkward
enough that it forces him to switch to a single leg, looking for the finish. Once
he does this, press downward on the back of his head with your chest.
Your opponent should be nice and compact now, so you will want to lace your
left arm through and grab their wrist. With a firm hold, lock on your kimura
For Immediate, Special Access Click Here-->

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

grip. As you squeeze your quads, leg and stomach, his head should be
trapped, with no chance to escape. From here, sit out onto the mat.

Kimura Lock Defense: What to Expect

By now your opposition should be well aware of how this fight is going.
Quickly, they pop up to their knees, fearing their shoulder is about to be torn
off the bone. Anticipate a step over as they establish a base; counter act this by
keeping your leg tight to your body.
With the move still locked in, slide off to your hip. The hold should force them
to roll onto their back, which is where things get good. Smoothly transition to
your back, ending in a modified crucifix position.
With the end in sight, reach over and lock on the kimura while releasing your
legs. This is where things get good! At this point, your opponent is fully at
your mercy and all they have left to do is wait to see how you choose to end the
fight.
The viable options here are evident:

Kimura: Its there, so why not just finish the move?

Crucifix Position: All you would have to do is trap his free arm, which
would open up the crucifix and virtually ending the fight.

Sink the Hooks In: From here, releasing the hold and going for the back is
an extremely easy transition.

Section 4

Full Mount Transition to Arm Lock

Full mount is a wonderful position to have in both worlds of MMA and BJJ. The move in
which Im about to analyze can be utilized in both sports, but with more of a focus in
MMA given the setup of the move.
So here we are; we took down our opponent and asserted our dominance and ended
up in full mount. Establishing posture, the punches reign down with some force and
our opponent is hurting. Out of the blue, he begins to defense himself. Reaching up
to stop the punches, this is when we pounce!
Arm Lock: The Belcher Way
In hopes to prevent further damage, your opponent reaches upwards to stifle the
attack. Grabbing hold of the exposed arm, we spin off to our hip, setting up a
traditional armbar finish. An experienced grappler, your opponent locks his hands
together as you begin to finish the hold.
After scooping their leg, and bringing our left leg over their face, the hold still cant be
completed. What we want to do from here is bend our right leg so it no longer traces
their hip, but is bent upwards towards their face.
From here, we want to triangle the legs. With the tight clasp seemingly iron clad, their
arm is growing increasingly fragile. Next, simply squeeze the legs for the finish. The
crushing pressure will be too much for them to handle, which will force them to tap
out.

For Immediate, Special Access Click Here-->

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

If they are able to sneak out of the lock, and free their entrapped hand, the next step is
simple: ARMBAR! It will be sitting there, ripe for the plucking.

Attacking the Joints

No matter which submission you end up going for, the focal point of attack is always
the same: its the elbow. A fragile joint when fixated upon for such an attack, its a
scary site for your opponent when they see the malicious attack in action.
Two common injuries could be dislocations or fractures. When someone dislocates
their elbow, depending on the severity of the injury, it can take anywhere from eight to
fourteen weeks to fully recover! And in 5-15% of the cases, the patient doesnt fully
recover their range of motion.
We have seen armbars gone too far on occasionFrank Mir vs. Tim Sylvia & Big Nog
and it provides a gruesome site for the viewer. The arm is so fragile when extended
away from the body, and even more so when your opponent is fixated on dismantling
that specific limb.
This transition is a great tool to have in your arsenal as it provides you with two
different submission setups, but also its from a very dominant position. The key to
this move would to be keep everything nice and tight, and watch it work wonders.

Section 5

Knee Bar Escape to Arm Triangle Transition

While its always good to know how the fight can end when youre in the right spot to
do so, its equally as important to know how to get yourself out of a tough spot.
This entry will be focusing on defending the one thing every grappler cringes at: leg
locks.
Belcher Breakdown: Knee Bar Defense
We pick up in a pretty tough spot; your opponent has gotten you to the ground and
has begun to work on your legs. Hes a slick BJJ player, and has your legin this case
well say your leftand is hugging it, waiting to apply a nasty knee bar.
Before you panic and anticipate your leg being removed from your torso, lets go over
a beautiful transition into an arm triangle as described by the one and only, Alan
Belcher.

First off, if at all possible, lock your legs together in a triangle formation. This
will make it increasingly difficult for your opponent to fall backwards into the
hold.

Bring the hand furthest from your opponent up and across their chest. Cupping
the shoulder, it should look as if you are attempting an arm triangle.

Reach up with your off hand and clasp your hands together. Make sure this is a
firm, effective grip.

For Immediate, Special Access Click Here-->

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

From here, begin to rip your opponent away from your legs.

Here is the risky part; unlock your legs and plant off of the NON-submission
leg. While this does allow the knee bar to potentially happen, this is a vital part

Bridge as high as you can then sprawl the free leg outwards.

At this point you should be able to roll over into side control.

And look whats waiting for you, an arm triangle!

Risk vs. Reward: Dont Be Afraid To Give Up the Submission

After youve digested the above information, lets focus in on one part.
In the fifth bullet point, I stressed giving up the leg. While it may seem like a ludicrous
idea, its very important! Giving up the knee means you can post off the free leg,
allowing you to eventually transition into the arm triangle.
Just think; would you rather give up the leg and risk the submission for a brief moment
for a better position, or try to play tug-of-war and hope for the best?
Its risky but when done effectively, its a momentum swinger. This sequence is what
will help you end up in side control and finish with the arm triangle.

Section 6

Defending & Staying Safe in the 50/50

As a leg lock junkie, I fully understand just how bothersome the 50/50 can be for
some people. Once the fight/match drops down to the mat, it becomes a tactical
chess match as you and your opponent fight for one anothers leg.
Knowing just how easily a fight can finish from this position, its vital to know how to
conduct yourself when you find yourself on the wrong end of the 50/50. Luckily the
Biloxi, Mississippi native, Alan Belcher, has a quick little video breakdown of how to go
about defending the 50/50 and staying safe.
Aggressive Heel Hook Defense, the Belcher Way
Disclaimer: First off, I hope you arent attempting this with a cast on your hand (check
the video), thats just for certified tough guys like Alan The Talent Belcher!
When we find ourselves in the 50/50 guard, its easy to get panicky and begin to flop
around as we try to escape the grasp of our opponent. A likely submission they will go
for is the dreaded heel hook. We want to make sure that we have the jump on our
opponent, because if they get the opening they want, its over.
As they drop back for the heel, we want to lock our legs in a figure four type of lock.
The key part to this is, the leg that ISNT being isolated must tuck behind the back of
our opponent. The reason being if we leave it out there for too long, they could
proceed to attack that foot instead.
Fighting For Your Grips
If our leg arrangements dont do the trick for us, its okay, theres another way to
attack this submission setup! Without wasting a second, we want to grab the wrist of
the hand that is attacking our foot. This is very, very important because it can setup a
few different defenses for us.

For Immediate, Special Access Click Here-->

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

With both hands, grab a hold of his wrists. This will make him forget about your foot,
and begin to fight to get his hand free. If this doesnt do the trick, try to get your

hands on his elbowwhich should be right by your heeland slide it off of your foot
and go for the control of his arm.
Adding to this, youll want to grab the back of his head and control his posture. This
will keep him close and stop any chance of attack. Variety is the spice of life, and this
is where it comes into play. Once you have him right where you want him, you can do
a few things: re-hook your legs, under hook his arm, and stifle his attack.
The 50/50 defense is a must have for any grapplerBJJ & MMA alikeand being able
to calmly and effectively execute it is key.
SIDE BAR
If theres anyone out there who can teach you how to hang with the best submission
guys and grapplers out there...(And when I write best Im talking about guys like
Rousimar Palhares....check out some of his video clips if you havent...scary)
Alan Belcher is HANDS DOWN, the BOSS when it comes to Submission Defense...And
his Immunity Course is the FIRST COURSE of its kind to ever appear on planet
Earth...Mars-maybe not....but there is no other course of its CALIBER on
EARTH....Guaranteed.

If you havent yet----you should (at the very least) go learn more about the course and
at least see why guys like Eddie Bravo & Joe Rogan are calling Belcher the Future
Star.

Section 7

Rear Naked Choke from the Back?

Not Today....
For Jiu Jitsu players and MMA fighters alike, there are few things that can be faked
while grappling. One of those things is when go for a back take and obtain the
position; nine-times-out-of-ten, itll end in an attempted rear naked choke.
Aware of this, Alan Belcher has given us a wonderful technique video of how to attack
the arm from the back take. He even gives you a little variation towards the end for
the little guys and less flexible grapplers out there.
This Is a Pretty Smart Strategy.-Alan Belcher
The above headline says it all; this IS a pretty smart strategy! Aware of how often the
rear naked choke is used from this setup, Belcher has given us a different route to go
in order to surprise our opponent and get the submission victory.
So we pick up from obtaining the back. With our over/under applied and our left hook
in, we start to work. Being stubborn, our opponent rolls off to the right side, where
our hook isnt in. Quickly, we keep our left hand firmly planted in his shoulder or
wrist, as we swim our right arm over his head.
By pushing off the side of his face with our elbow, we begin to create space with our
arm. After creating space, apply a kimura grip on his left arm. From here, you want to
create a base with your right leg by placing it on the mat, and bringing your left leg
across his waist.

For Immediate, Special Access Click Here-->

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

Going For The Finish

With everything setup and in place, its now time to go for broke and end this! The
next step is, as Belcher puts it, applying a half kimura on the isolated arm. This will
create space and make his arm more susceptible to the submission hold.

From here, slightly swing out onto your hip. This next step could be difficult for
smaller or less flexible grapplers, but youll want to take your right leg and bring it
over the opponents head. Kicking their head backwards, place your leg across their
face, and applying the hold for the finish.
If you are having difficulty with getting your leg over the face, you can break the
kimura grip and push off of his head, creating the space needed to get the leg in the
desired position.
As I stated earlier on, this is a fantastic setup in a position that is easily stereotyped for
one specific move. Chances are very great that your opponent will anticipate the rear
naked choke so they will not be even thinking about protecting their arms in the
process.
Work on the range of motion in your hips before this one, youll need it!

Section 8

Anaconda Choke From The Arm Drag

By now, Ive fallen in love with videos that are false frontsmoves that are used to
cloak another submission attempt in which your opponent does not see coming. In
this video breakdown today, we get one of those moves demonstrated by Alan Belcher
and one of his instructors.
This one is for all of you arm drag fans out there! After a while, your opponent can
easily defend the drag, so being able to surprise those with this move it always a plus.

Belcher Breakdown: Anaconda Choke

This is a very slick setup. Lets assume weve gone for the arm drag a few times by
now and our opponent has been well aware of this move and does not want to budge
on giving up any space. So what do we do now? Well first off, make sure you are not
extending your arm too far from your body, as this could open up the door for your
opponent to take your back.
Lets break this down:

Apply your underhook onto his arm.

From here, pop up and grab his head.

Holding him by the ear, pull his head down and stuff it into your armpit.

Bring your arm firmly into his shoulder region.

Apply the hold wrist deep, making sure he cant escape from it.

Place your chin right next to the lock.

Utilizing a butterfly hook, roll him over as you slide underneath him.

Squeeze for the finish.

www.MicroBJJ.com/Immunity

Variations of the Hold:

Once we have them here, its time to go for the finish. Our opponent knows that they
are in trouble, and will likely be frantically trying to escape and make the move
impossible to finish. If the squeezing of the choke doesnt do the trick, then there are
a few ways around this road block.
Using your left leg, bring it up and try to pin down the opponents isolated arm. This
will add more pressure to the choke and they will be more inclined to tap out due to
the pressure. It will also nullify any potential escape that they could use with this arm
and keep them firmly in place.
While going for the hold, you can also walk your hips into your opponent, which will
bring your body weight down onto their head. Crunching their head down, they will be
forced to add pressure to the hold with their own body, which can make for a very
unpleasant experience for them.
So there you have it. If your opponent has been pesky and stubborn and wont allow
the arm drag, hit them with this little trick! If you go about it the correct way, it should
be an easy finish for the submission.

BUT WAIT.....DONT GO ANYWHERE.....
