Jared Weiner-Operation knee on Bely

JARED WEINER-OPERATION KNEE ON BELY

It’s my best position as a competitor. I feel at home here because of my strength and weight. I enjoy this position because it makes my opponent feel powerless. I believed I knew everything there was to know about the position. It is simple, right? To grab a sub, just pop to knee on the belly. I was wrong. The Operation Knee On Belly DVD was sent to me recently and my game has gotten a lot more dangerous.

Sometimes you run across a person that has a knack for a certain position. The x-guard is a master of it, The Mendes Bros berimbolo is the best, and Roger Gracie has the best mount in the business. A Knee on Belly Ninja is an essential part of the success of the TLI. I’ve watched him in competition many times and he always gets to this position. It always looks powerful, stable and dangerous when he does. After meeting him in Abu Dhabi, I asked him to send me the DVD because I knew he had a lot of knowledge.

The knee on belly position is addressed in the 3 DVDs in the package. Body positioning, entries and submissions are included. Mounts & Triangles, Chokes and Armlocks are included in the categories. His teaching style is based on his passion for BJJ. He doesn’t fluff the viewer with technique that doesn’t work. The techniques he shows are battle tested in the field. I liked how he broke down knee placement. You can apply pressure on your opponent’s torso, forcing them to give up a limb, neck or back. He teaches every scenario you can think of, from chokes to arm locks.

The DVD is well made. The picture quality is excellent and the videography is smooth. The audio is clear. I enjoy studying a DVD and not thinking about production quality. I have a lot of DVD’s, most of them I watch once or twice, but few of them make it into my library. I will refer to this DVD again and again in my library. It is the type of DVD that will jump your game to the next level and improve your position, but also great for teaching classes at my academy.

You can own this DVD series for 100 bucks. Is it worth the investment? Absolutely, 100% worth it. 10% of the information in this series can be learned in a standard BJJ class. Most instructors don’t do knee on belly. You should add this DVD to your collection. More information can be found here.
