Do you use "Cradle" in BJJ?
Cradle is one of the first moves you learn as a wrestler. Once you get it, the pin is almost guaranteed.
In BJJ, we don't pin to finish the match, but we control to progress the position, and to force our opponent to make a mistake.
I use cradles a lot from bottom side control, closed guard and especially after defending leg attack and in turtle.
Few wrestling moves can be used in BJJ effectively and are versatile without the risk of being caught. The cradle is definitely one of them, and I haven't seen BJJ coaches yet adding them to BJJ classes as a part of the curriculum.
I think it's a shame, because they are super effective!
If you want a head and arm and cradle seminar in your academy, just let me know😁
Disclaimer:
There is one variation of a cradle that will get you into a triangle against a good bottom player,
If you don't know what to watch out for.
