A Beginners Look at the Elbow Push
The Elbow Push is an important technique that all advanced grapplers know, but teaching it can be difficult because of the timing needed.
To teach the Elbow Push I like to pair it with the Stacking Pass because it elongates the timing allowing for better practice AND the elbows are in a static position, meaning the beginner doesn't have to go find the elbow as the person is moving to side control.
Once a student becomes proficient at doing it like this, I will then start teaching them from side control bottom with more dynamic passes from the assisting student on top.
