BJJ Video Series: Knee on Belly

Knee on Belly in Jiu-Jitsu is a dominant control position where you place your knee directly on your opponent's torso while extending your other leg for balance and mobility. You use precise knee pressure to control and pin your opponent while maintaining easy transitions to submissions or other positions. It is used to set up armbars, chokes, and quick transitions to mount or side control while applying maximum discomfort with minimal effort. Knee on belly is like being an evil acupuncturist who uses knees instead of needles - your opponent gets to feel like a human pin cushion while you decide which submission to pick!
