Really dig this guy's teaching style - direct and to the point without the unnecessary 5 minutes of bloviating that goes on in almost every other BJJ instructional. Bet he used to be a wrestler.
I have seen Catch Wrestlers and Judo practitioners use these moves. Especially the lock flow in the Kesa- Gatame. Bas Rutten was known to have used the chest compression of holding both of his thighs. Any technique that works is something to put in one's own repertoire to become a better grappler is a big positive.
The second move you cover we learned from Bas Rutten, he called it the Bas Rutten neck crank, we call it the "Cheeseburger". Love it. Thanks for the videos!
First time I passed out was from that baseball bat choke from bottom (s-grip whatever thing) in no-gi. I wasn't even feeling it as a choke, so by the time I realized it's dangerous i only got to raise my arm, and then I woke up on the floor. So yeah, that one works for sure. :P
Did MMA for 7 years and it's incredible how there are hundreds of chain linked moves in jiu jitsu that just ordinarily compliment one another. Had to stop training three years ago because of personal reasons but I think and hope in 1 more year to be back to the beloved mats, till then i have my utube tutorials and Knight Jiu Jitsu vids are like top 5 of my faves list! (there are some incredible channels out there!!) I have gained a lot from your vids Eli! want to contribute a little back to you so I will be a proud owner of that delicious looking t shirt soon! thanks for the wealth of knowledge Sensei! Osu!
Hello LODI...this morning we've been practicing your move for WALL SELF DEFENSE together with my daughter and l'm so happy and great that 3 of the moves she get but the last one she din't get coz she could not reach my arm shoulder but any way l'm so happy that she learned that moves. Now shes more interested to learn more moves and techniques. Thank you and more power...😉😊👍👍👍
I love this video so much!! It just made me laugh so hard! I will definitely try “the accordion squeeze” and “the neural disruptor” during my next sparring! Thanks!
Wow really original! I wouldn't do the last one on random people though, just friends! I can see people getting pissed off because of it, which would be a compliment in a sense!
We just covered the truck into calf slicer recently and a lot of people keep going for it in my gym, I’ll keep you posted on my armbar reversal success haha!
I keep seeing comments about this being Bas Rutten’s move and he definitely made it famous! All respect to El Guapo! I learned this move from Carlos Machado!
Love putting this moves together in a video brother. I know Eddie Bravo in his DVD’s talks about not using the far arm for the calf slicer from truck because of that arm bar. I think it was in Mastering the Twister
Oh I’m definitely trying the first move at my gym tomorrow. I have this one white belt guy that will not ease back even a little when we roll, so I need a least one BS move under my belt 😂
Fell in love at 2:24. After seeing Josh Barnett hit that on Dean Lister, I adapted it to my game. Being 6 ft 4 250 plus complements that move. That variation would shut down any reversal attempt other class mates use.
Thank you Professor! I appreciate the Kesa Gatame techniques. I don’t think they get the respect they deserve. You mentioned that you used to play a Kesa Gatame game in the past. I hope you will consider sharing more wisdom from that experience in future videos. 🙏
Thank you! And I actually still play a lot of scarf, but now I mostly play exclusively broken scarf hold instead of standard. Here is a video where I include quite a few submissions from there and other variations of side control. Thanks again! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wVSLLFxix3g.html
As an old grappler, I have done all of those! Very timely, Royler showed the armlock from the calf slicer at a seminar 2 weeks ago! BTW, can I get a tshirt? Old school, new school, preppy school or dirty school... it's all jiujitsu!
in judo, i can't count any more the number of people who did the leg shake on my face to finish juji gatame, but none of them succeeded. i guess i doesn't phase me because i have some experience with taking much harder hits in the head than a simple shaky leg, and since their leg is not controlling my head anymore, i simply push it over my head and stand up. one of the thing that helped me a lot for grappling styles is mountain climbing, because it gives a good grip that simply never let go, and get you used to dynamic balance on your four limbs for ground works. most of the time, when i do newaza in judo, i only think of how to climb around the guy before going for submission.
The first few I learned in Catch. The armbar I learned in the Fadda system but can I make a suggestion. We were taught instead of trying to rely on just our two hands and strength, use your other leg and kick your attacked leg away at the ankle/calf as you take the arm. Much easier and faster, especially against strong guys.
my coach taught us similar with the final move but with only 1-2 stronger kicks and leaning away from the head a bit as they will often follow up and get bumped by the back of your leg for their efforts - calls it the elvis presley
The first move Erik Paulson calls, "Mother's Milk." Lol! The last one I saw first in the 90s at VB (though I haven't seen anyone use it for a long time) . Probably because it pissed so many people off! ;-) I think the worst one that makes the most people angry is in the gi, from the guard, grab both lapels (right grabs right and left grabs left) a few inches or so down. and using the blade of the foot in the neck to choke. Something about "foot on neck" that really gets under ppls skin! :-)
1. Mothers milk (always funny) 2. Knee knot. Great counter to bridge 3. Elbow hook, love that lol 5. Set up is a really nice one. Always love seeing people do it 6. Hahahaha that is just great Great video!
Has anyone ever got the baseball bat finish (nogi or gi) starting it in bottom mount, as opposed to starting it during the guard pass or bottom side? I guess your arm would be in danger for a moment starting there because of how high your arm is, but maybe when you are elbow escaping you switch to it? I don't know, just a thought I has rewatching this
I train Catch and I really appreciate that Bjj guys are integrating some of our techniques into their game. Its still quite different though, I can tell by the positioning etc. I love training Catch, the only problem is that 99% of the submission grappling community does Bjj and sometimes it feels like we are speaking different languages unless I can show them what I do on the mat. The bad thing about training Catch, when we train in a gym with other Catch wrestlers, is that we get a bit unfamiliar with things bjj guys do because we aren't in those positions as often. The good thing is that we are way more familiar with their game than they are with ours. Another bad thing is we are basically forced to compete in no gi bjj, and most of our basic go to holds are banned. Its weird for me to not neck crank because neck cranks are like 50% of my subs and toe holds are another huge percentage. Chokes and arm bars, not so much, but they are the subs I can go for in tournaments. I'm not at the expert level yet. It'll be great for us when Catch Wrestling competitions become more common and available.
That acordian maneuver is exactly what I waa looking for cause ive been in ALMOST that exact position felt like there was a finish there but could never figure it out
That first one isn't BJJ, it's Catch wrestling and it's called the "Mother's Milk" choke. There are plenty of videos showing Erik Paulson teaching that one.
Dear BJJ club partners, I'm basically a Catch guy, because I used to wrestle. I'm sorry for how often I neck crank you. I'm not trying to, honest! I love your neck (especially when it lets me get cradles). I would beg your forgiveness, but I get paid back in getting triangled all the time. Yours sincerely, -Wrestle McWrestleton
Thank you LODI....for giving us inspiration....goodluck and more power...by the way my daughter asked how much your shirt and short with logo? And were we can buy your staff thanks..
Dan the wolf man has a great video going into more detail on a few of these techniques, like the elbow heelhook, and if you look up "one trick pony baseball choke" you'll find a great compilation of some guy destroying people by baiting them into passing, then hitting the baseball bat choke.
I trained in a third world country all I can say brother is that this is gold thank you for your videos keep up the good work God bless you keep making ZOMBIE GAINZ!!!!
Jason Wadkins I saw that also, where Bas held both of his thighs for the compression. People who were taught by Billy Robinson have referenced the move, like Josh Barnett and Harry Smith, when demonstrating lock flow. Erik Paulson does a move that is similar to a head and arm triangle, but can use the index finger and thumb to pinch the nose. Comical looking yes, but when a person is already gasping for air, then it becomes effective.
Wrist locks are a sneaky move that most people don't know about. People put themselves in harms way all the time and they don't even realize it. It may not finish a super experienced person but most people are going to tap from the pain.
Hello Mr knight I just did that 2nd crusher move that U show n this vid today twice against a few people in class the first guy never tapped shame hit it twice to himhsha said it was extremely close to tapping
Sorry. There was a link issue and had to take it down but going to fix it soon. If you’re interested you can email me the details and I can get one to you: eliknight173@gmail.com
Knight Jiu-Jitsu I'm in the military, live in VA. Home is Florida. I will have to visit. My background is Okinawan karate, judo, Aikijujutsu, Muay Thai, boxing...BJJ is what I need more experience in.
that s grip frame choke is deadly looking, especially if you were to get the grip and not give up mount but still sacrifice position and go under your opponent as in the video
