I have been training for two years and am a 69 year old white belt. At the moment with COVID 19 gyms in SoCal are closed so I'm doing solo drills on home mats and watching these videos to remind me of techniques. Hopefully we are back on the mats in a couple of months April 8 2020
To each their own I guess. I actually prefer it when he used to give street fight tips with Ant. 1. Violence is not cool 2. Fighting should only be done in self defense 3. Bullies suck I'm missing those days already.
Hope nobody is taking any advices from this fellows thinking they are going to work in a real street fight situation... and also hope our friend Shane here had noticed he's got no idea of what "street fight means". You better ask some other guys like Masvidal to name someone you probably have heard of.
Had a guy much stronger than me in full mount tonight, pressing his arm into my windpipe (both beginners), really helpful to see a way out of this position. Also you videos are really good at explaining finer details of movement and how to position the body. Much appreciated 😊
Awesome tutorial, really like the 2nd escape. Also Gender shouldn't be an issue here, some comments here are sad, under BJJ we're not men and women... just students.
2:57 the thing thats dangerous about that position is that they can try to hold you from your back and when they get the back unless your stronger there is no escape
Thanks for the video, guys! Just got my first stripe on my whitebelt so, I'm spending a lot of time in bottom mount 😂 As someone else said, it was really helpful seeing the bridge without the other person there. Showing the difference between a correct bridge and a sort of rushed bridge was key, I definitely rush and probably don't bridge high enough. #TheMoreYouKnow 🌟
Hey, I've been doing BJJ for about a month now. I'm in my forties and I'm getting my ass handed to me by guys and gals way younger, in better shape, and A LOT SMALLER than me. I gotta say Erin's tips have been a life saver! I've been getting rocked in side control and the way Erin explains those escapes has really helped my game. ERIN YOU DA BOMB!
Love these video's going to learn Kickbox and MMA soon after a long break so love seeing people share their experience and knowledge in martial art. Hope i too can pass on some of my experiences like you guys(when the time is right ofcourse). Much respect to all of you.
Awesome video, definitely appreciate how thorough it was. While covering a single technique you also took the time to explain a few simple fundamentals.
I never lost in a fist fight until i faced an opponent that’s very good in submission. I lost badly. I couldn’t do anything to escape. That’s why I’m here.
@@jacrispy4360 That's not necessarily true. He didn't say how long he fought or how often. Maybe he picked his fights wisely and knocked out his opponentts, but like he said he didn't know how to fight a grappler and got submitted/gnp'ded.
The escape techniques were very well illustrated - can't wait to try them. As an MMA beginner, I'm only familiar with the shrimp (which is similar to the first technique) but I still hadn't grasped how to turn an escape to my advantage. So it was great to see the suggested next moves. Also, I wish I hadn't read the comments. Apparently, there is a disproportionate amount of 12-year-olds that comment on these videos. : / Ciao from Italy, L
But what if the opponent is fast and blocks our arms and sits on 90% of our upper body ? cuz thats what my friend does and wins. it also requires a lot of strength push him side
When I was young, I found myself in some fights, and usually I was fighting significantly bigger opponents. I actually accidentally stumbled upon that last escape one time. I found that if you drop your body weight down on them just right, especially if you push with your hands as you are coming down into their mid section, you can knock at least some of the wind out of them if you surprise them, and the ground is hard enough, or at the very least just stun them a bit, giving you a chance to disengage if you want to get to your feet.
just to make note, you did do it however didn't actually point out that you were also trapping the same side leg when you trapped the arm in sweep three, just hoping to save some frustration when people try it and can't get the pass because of a pesky leg post, awesome content though, keep it up
For the third escape, notice how she traps the foot (on the same side she’s rolling him) with her foot so he can’t step out. Very good vid just thought that was an important piece of info.
"It's not the end of the world " You encourage me. Thank you 😊 💓. I thought every BJJ practitioner is aggressive and be bullies. Now I know I was wrong.
My 6 year old daughter is 1 year in training now, but she has trouble because the bigger boys in her class are able to get her in the mount and she can't get out. I'll work with her and see if she can use these techniques to escape. Thanks for the video!
Devon P from my experience it looks like its easy for him to take the back but actually his hand is useless if he does not move position because it is in an awkward position. All she has to do is get the head beneath the arm and taking the back
He could also slid for an arm bar. But it’s technique vs technique. Who is tighter, faster and better. If you have 3 mount escapees and use different ones each time your opponent won’t know what to do.
Half guard will actually give you opportunities to go to their back for chokes. They also have some opportunities but overall a huge improvement in position over bottom mount.
Question if u lose a fight with a person and u fight them again do u get scared and if so how do u over come that and just see it as another opportunity
Keep on fighting (same person or different one) as much as possible, think about how and why you lost every time you lose a fight, then you won’t be as scared as you used to be if you do get scared.
chris happy Yeah no problem. Another thing to mention is that when one becomes scared, it’s usually because they have an ego. The more ego a person has, the more he can’t stand to lose, the more he can’t stand to lose, the more desperate he becomes to secure his power by any means necessary bad or worse. In order to be a better fighter, the ego has to be dropped like most high ranking martial artists are required to do in order to succeed. The ego has to be broken down in order to be a person in both training and their personal lives. The ego is pretty much the reason bullying exists because those perpetrators want more than they have in their lives by threatening those perceived to be weaker than them as a way to secure power to justify their pathetic meaning in life since they never had to face any consequences of their actions. In short, once you learn humility instead of growing your ego, not only will you become confident and skilled in fighting, you’ll also find less or no more reasons to bully or victimize others since you imagine yourself in their shoes. Sure it’s possible to come across a powerful person with an ego, but it doesn’t mean their power or intelligence will continue to grow nor are they unstoppable in a fight or argument. It’s just that the ego stops anyone from being at their best since they’ve been so comfortable in their level without having anyone equal to their level to force them out of that mentality.
Great video for Jiu Jitsu but if this is to educate on how to defend yourself in a street fight to people with no prior training it's totally useless (No defence to strikes etc. I know what im doing personally if i end up on bottom in a fight but for an inexperienced, average person they'll end up getting hurt. Follow up video potentially?
