Fastest way to Escape Mount with Keith Owen 

Oh he died? bummer I had not heard that.

We know that.

Jim Neitzel Dear Jim, it's understandable your impression. However, although I've never met him personally and only "known" him for years over here, I assure you that's a wrong impression you've got. Not even Marlon Brando could impersonate such a nice guy if he was not that likeable as a person, in the first place. If you check his other videos and get used to his overall demeanor, you'll see that's his real good-humored way to lighten things up while training; he is indeed a very down-to-earth man, funny and humble. And, yes, he is VERY good in Jiu-Jitsu. Cheers!

Jim Neitzel I completely agree with that second part. =)

guyfromBR Thanks for those Kind words BR.

Keith Owen Jim Neitzel I didn't know the man himself was lurking around to check the Comments here but, lo and behold, there you go *+Jim Neitzel*. By that *"I completely agree with that second part. =)"* of his, it seems you got your (LOL) answer, straight from the thoroughbred horse's mouth himself. Now, how can anyone not love that old Jewish self-deprecating humor, made famous by stand up comedians like Woody Allen, Dave Allen, Jeff Allen and certainly some other "Allen" around?... ;) Now, my dear mr. Owen, I didn't mean to be "nice" or "kind" to you, as I don't value "compliments" of any kind. That was only my way to do you justice. I just thought that I "Owen too much" to your omnipresence around on so many videos on the "YT-JJ circuit" to just pretend that I didn't read Jim's comment, so it would stay there, growing and maybe creating roots in the absence of an autonomous testimony like mine, which I thought could be needed to validate a positive assertion about your "legiti-Mate" Character. Or not... \o/ Now, seriously: I miss those old prepper videos of yours. Hope you're still "in shape", as I feel the tension growing everywhere. Always rely on the Family, the biological, and on your "JJ-Family" as well. Now is the time to put the "JJ-State of Mind" to work. In my own, non-denominational way, I'm praying here for all my Soul-Brothers over there. Humanity will Prevail. Cheers from Brasil!

+guyfromBR You took that very well and like an adult and I commend you. I also agree that keith is cool guy and haven't met him in person yet but talked with him a bit on fb. Hope you can meet him in person someday

BJJ doesn't really account for punches. That's what makes CJJ so interesting. They just had the Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds 2 event this past weekend and it was awesome!!

@@wishiwassleeping8382 thanks for that its just Gracie University teaches Punch Protection even for Beginners

@@dermotpayne01 my point is that BJJ is often impractical for a real fight. Things that work on the mat don't work on the street. A safe position in BJJ is often a very dangerous position in a street fight. In a tournament you are free to attack a heel hook without worrying about getting kicked in the face. You can lock in an arm bar without worrying about getting bitten. CJJ addresses some of those shortcomings.

Thanks but I think so do the Gracies

Amigo you just answered your own question. You escape when they are trying something. If someone wants to hold you down and not move, don't waste energy trying to escape. There is a quote by Helio gracie. I don't remember the specific quote but he says something like in every position there is a moment of weakness. It's in that moment I catch you. Wait for the gap to appear to allow you to turn and stiff arm. You'll find it once you've been mounted and they then try to attack, then you'll start to see the same gap appear before they compete mount. Timing. The same gaps appear at the end and at the start of a movement. We have to suffer first in order to start seeing them first. Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

OrmskirkMartialArts Thank you for the insight!

ZeroSumJ1 there isn't strength in what he is doing. The PARAMOUNT detail of this is that his arm is straight which is creating a rigid frame. that is why it looks like it's strength. It isn't. I hope it worked for you as this was 3 months ago :)

It didn't work for me :( I've been using a different mount escape where I get on my side and wedge the bottom elbow between me and the opponent's knee in front of me, then I hip out hard. That way it isn't a battle against gravity. It's my core against their abductors.

ZeroSumJ1 thats also the point of this escape as well when that frame is created the athletic part begins and its time to use that core in conjunction with your feet aka the shrimp.

No you’re not. I use this all the time, and it works. You have to keep moving. You’re not gonna keep your arm frozen in that position you’re going to explode and move.

Theirs nothing stopping what you asked, bjj is a chess match.

not true.

Good stuff going to work on that at class :)

Keith Owen Any chance that it will get uploaded to your RU-vid channel at some point? I'd really like to see it.

Added how are you Keith? How is your family?

was thinking the same bro.. I'll test it tomorrow.. I'll get back on u..

+Marc Johnson not if your quick enough. Also hes using it as a post to remove his legs so if your quick your already out of beneath mount before your opponent can get the arm bar. huh, im gonna try and pull it today.

No arm bar there but if that hand comes off that hip and collapses on it its trapped and could give the back.. Or just start a bad situation.

No he cant.. Just keep your arm lower than his belt.. If you it higher yes he can

21

Yeah, then you get back mounted! That’s the only position worse than the full mount.

He's a black belt. Are you a black belt?

_"He's a black belt. Are you a black belt?"_ Tumbleweeds. :)

I'm a black belt.

Yes Professor, you certainly are.

He's pushing on the hip, not the chest. Let me know when you post that high-percentage arm bar off the hip push.
