The Blackout Hybrid Cradle System: Pressure Taps by David Petrone
As always, great instructional by Blackout Grappling. Using cradles and pressure for some gnarly taps.
PRESSURE!
I love these pressure taps. You never find a good instructional on this kind of thing. Dave really has a great thing going here.

Great but surely you will lose some friend over this 😀
Response from BJJ Fanatics:fire:Nasty stuff
Nasty stuff. Your training partners will hate the techniques but they work very well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Awesome
Mean and nasty taps. I love it. Try them out! Even if you don’t tap them with a cradle, you’ll see an opening somewhere else.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Love the cradle. Offers great
Love the cradle. Offers great control. Training partner's will curse you after a well executed cradle.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:A positive addition to top game
For anyone that enjoys playing the heavy passing game with pressure, you gotta check this out. The various controls and pain points were awesome to see. This beneficial for any gi or nogi grappler.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Second to None
CRADLES FOR LIFE I love everything they put out. Cradles, Shin pins, punch chokes, oh my! So gnarly yet so elegant and fun (not for your opponent). These guys can help just about anyone, grapplers, fighters, Self Defense folks, you name it, they've got stuff for you. Get the instructionals, then find a seminar if you can. These dudes are the best. - Mike Cheney Brasa Black Belt
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Basic info lot s of
Basic info lot s of pressure points that coule be the base for submission
BRUTAL!!!
These are by far the most brutal techniques I have ever seen. I feel bad for Vinny but thank him for going through so much pain and suffering for Dave to so us these techniques. You will not make any friends but you will win a lot of matches with this stuff. The jackknife cradle is worth the price alone but everything else that Dave teaches is amazing. Thank you Dave and Vin for all the great techniques. Keep’em coming.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Welcome to the Dark Side
Nasty, Nasty, NASTY stuff and I love it. Dominant submissions from a dominant position. Absolutely perfect.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Cradle The World
Are you a mat enforcer? These Attitude Adjustment techniques are great for those that need a good beat down. Cradles with punch chokes, splits and compression. Don’t forget to grab their other 2 instructionals gi and Nogi. Be careful with this one guys and be nice to your training partners lol
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Dirtbag grappler:upside_down:
Blackout grappling Instructional series top notch! Details inside of details that will for sure help your grappling game! Gi or nogi these techniques work!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:This one is beautifully sinister
This instructional adds the "nasty" to the previous two. The application of the techniques is spot. What I like most about this one is the use of limbs to apply additional pressure and the execution of submissions that can be used not just on the mat but out on the street to subdue opponents if needed. Thank you Coach David and Vincent for another masterpiece to add to the trilogy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:+1::skin-tone-2::hugging:Brutal stuff!!!
I have been using a lot of stuff from David's first cradle series (the no-gi one) at my BJJ gym, with great success. I find lots of opening for catching cradles when BJJ guys play guard, especially K guard etc. The cradle is a super powerful position, and leads to great submission openings or just to use crushing pressure. I have been frothing for this new series, and was not disappointed! Some of these submissions are just ridiculously brutal!!! I think I'll be losing a few friends at the gym, but that's a small price to pay for all the brutal taps I'll be getting! Thanks David and Vince, can't wait to see what you bring out next!
