How to defend the armbar from guard. From 'Submission Defense' in the free Grapplearts BJJ Master App. iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/app/bjj-m... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/de...
your videos are awesome, i teach american kenpo and study kyokushin...you've convinced me to get serious about bjj and jj, thanks stephan...time to find a dojo
Thanks for the tutorial! I watched this months ago, when I started jiu-jitsu, and some how the ninja star escape was the one that became my default escape. I had forgotten what it was called and I've forgotten to use my other hand to grab my hand w/ s-grip so I've been doing it single handed
These are awesome! I had a guy today arm bar me like three times! 😂 I’ve been doing bjj for like 2.5 months, so I’m not very good at all. But, these are great techniques to help me out! Thanks, Stephan!
great stuff as always , i have learn so much from you free that i just got your app lol i felt like it was the right thing to do lol and im so happy i did the apps are cheap and great quality thanks!!!
The lion killer defense has worked best for me but given that I have "trick" shoulders (they dislocate), I'll have to try the ninja star defense more often too. Nice vid as always...
Thanks, great details and some new stuff. Never seen the ninja star defense before, and great details on the mata leon defense. Wish there were some way to keep the dumb comments away.
Your videos have priceless information! Good show. If only, I don't know, EVERYONE that Rhonda Roussey has fought watched this video, we'd have better entertainment XD
Was wondering for the ninja star defense, with the C grip you had your right hand (the side defending) over on top of your left. Could you have your left hand on top instead with the grip as it would put your right thumb in a quicker position to hit their chest? Or would that be too awkward of a position and make it easier for them to finish the armbar?
wouldnt suggest it, because 1. not everyone is strong enough (either because of physics or attrition from fight) 2. you always only have about 1 second time to choose what to do, because its not a choke but an attempt to break something, which really only takes contracting muscles once the technique is applied. you dont wanna just blindly try to defend by slamming, because you might be too slow or he might not let go 3. usually you have mats and a thick gi, so it wont hurt much to get slammed
straightblast100 Things like that are frowned upon in the sport of jiu-jitsu. You are supposed to get out of things by technique, not by inducing pain.
straightblast100 And what you are saying is typically allowed in MMA. And no you don't prefer reality. Would you really want to practice with someone who uses eye-gouging, hair-pulling, stabbing, shooting, etc? Some things you can simply not train for. You can show people how to eye-gouge but it probably will be almost useless in a real fight for a lot of those techniques since you cant do them very well since you cant practice them on anyone and thus don't get better or have any muscle memory. They do talk about the fact that someone can slam you in real-life when they teach full guards in jiu jitsu and many other things. Seems like you have never been to a jiu jitsu class and want to say it is bogus. Come out to any jiu jitsu gym and try whatever you want on them, slamming, hair-pulling etc as long as they agree to it. They might not agree to everything but they might want to take on a challenger.
DeagleBeagle Sorry to break it to you sunshine, but inducing pain IS a technique in itself and is an important part of the martial arts. Also, I practice eye gouging.
Lol I like it when the technique require the opponent to "get excited". I get that too. When you wanna try something you always tend to want to keep trying until you fail miserably and the opponent just gets out. Or is it just me
I can see how the guy was confused. Since Stephan often caters to the small and nimble ("if you're more flexible than me .."), he might explain the slam to the big strong guys. I'd be genuinely interested, not for bjj or grappling, but just in general. Not sure to what extent these videos are limited to 'just grappling, no mma' techniques though.
At 0:07, when Ritchie still has his hips on the ground, and his legs are straight up in a V-shape position, if Stephan saw the armbar coming, would it be possible for him to escape by quickly withdrawing his right arm (twisting his upper body), between Ritchies legs/groin?
I've invented a arm bar escape that's worked against........ 2......more experienced opponents, and I realize how ridiculous and arrogant It sounds but it's happened twice! anyway I guess the point is , idk if I should focus my mental energy elsewhere or listen carefully? it's a dilemma , if ain't broke don't fix it, but at the same time u can't know too much BJJ, so idk maybe I should go watch a video over and over on some of my weaknesses?
7:04 that and it's illegal during grapplling tournaments to hit people in the face in which you'll get points deducted from you or could even get DQed if you hit them in the nose or the eye hard enough.
When you grab your own bicep, why don't you use your free hand to push his leg off of your face? Seems safer, although I suppose you end up back in guard instead of in a passing position
I didn't like the Ninja Star Defense.. It looks really dangarous.. as of, he can get the hand easily.. I think that the best thing to do after linking the hands is either circle around him to a position where my head is where my legs used to be, but I don't touch the ground.. head is where legs used to be, but I'm standing, then it's easier to pull the arm out. and the second way: right after I linked my hands, go for the lion kill.. just put the hands from a linked position to a lion kill position.
