Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So we was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior. God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️
Thanks for the great tips. My son who is 9 1/2 yrs old has been training for almost 4 years. He was just promoted to yellow belt. He almost always gets caught in a triangle by a fellow yellow belt, who has a great triangle. After practicing these techniques with him, we are confident that he'll be less likely to get caught in a choke. By the way, it's not easy to get my son to sit down and watch instructional videos, but he didn't complain about watching yours. I'm sure due to the fact that you explained the techniques clearly enough for him to understand. Thanks again for the great instruction.
Kesting is a great communicator and his videos and apps provide results. I used stack and spin tonight and escaped triangle choke by a big guy. Thanks!!
This is great for me because I'm new(ish) to BJJ and constantly find myself caught with one arm in and one arm out from guard, resulting in a triangle. It's so frustrating repeatedly having to tap from this choke, especially after it's really sunk in. I just have to remind myself to leave my ego at the door and accept it's going to happen. One of my favorite Jiu-Jitsu quotes that helps me is: in BJJ you either win or learn...
I know your original comment was 6 months ago but this might then be a tip for other newcomers that walk past Kesting's videos - when starting out and playing in the guard (and I'm being dead serious here) imagine being a T-rex with your arms. Keep those elbows tucked, fingers up, palms facing your opponent and your palms right around the height of your chest (or holding down the opponent's hips for some good base). Edit: Also, that's an excellent quote!
Excellent teacher, always clear step by step instruction. Too many detractors who are too cowardly to try any real fighting forms they're just keyboard warriors. What you sow you reap. Respect for the man.
It's often fun to ALMOST give up the triangle choke , but keep posture, just inviting enough but crafty enough to tempt him into the move - then stack and pass guard.When your as old as me [ 70 [ you need all the help you can get. !
+Kallum Don they say he continued into his last days taunting young men into catching him in a triangle, but one day his osteoporosis got the best of him and found himself in a triangle he simply couldn't escape, he knew his time was up, but Johnny knew he'd black out before tap out..for good
superoriginalname "John was really strong in his final fight. I was attempting a kimura for several minutes but his arm just wouldn't budge" "That was probably the rigor mortis, Timmy"
A purple belt in my academy does that, it is fun to try to finish the triangle and at the same time be careful of the stack and pass, learned a lot from him.
Your teachings are great!!! Every time I see a new technique you show on RU-vid I immediately practice it the same day during practice at the academy I go to :)
Master Stephan, you never cease to amaze me youre stuff has lots of class,I have used some of youre moves at my old school and they always work great thanks
One guy from my first gym used to always get me in a triangle choke and I got really tired of it, so I found this video about 6 months ago. I was only a white belt at the time (he was a blue belt). I don't know how well it would work against high level practitioners, but the "Stack and Spin" Defense has worked for me virtually every time since I learned it. Thanks!
Wow! I love how u show the different scenes over and over and in different angles allowing me to see everything! So happy I found this channel. Thank u so much. I’m a beginner obviously but I love watching videos that are so informative!
Thank you so much for your videos, Stephan! The little, practical things seem to be often overlooked (of forgotten my new practitioners!) in mixed classes, you're my go-to and you've helped my massively! Also, thank you for your BJJ Roadmap PDF! That took so much mystery out of BJJ in my first months of learning! You tha man!
Stephan - great video. Hope to meet you some day. You've got that Canadian nice guy quality in spades as well as being a great grappling teacher and uber-enthusiast.
@@stanley3895 Not as good as I hoped, I've seen other who came long after me getting their Blue/Brown/Black belts while I got stuck with a 2 stripes white belt as I didn't train as much as I did at the beginning. I was on and off from training, mixing with other clubs doing Judo and some wrestling. My wife was pregnant with my 5th child and it was a hard pregnancy, so I didn't train for about 6 months straight as she needed me at home, eventually I quit and some time after went back to my first martial art - Muay Thai. But since I started, never ever stopped thinking about BJJ, it's already in my blood - and I know I will be back. I need to change my lifestyle completely, I WILL go back to BJJ in the near future together with Judo and Muay Thai hopefully making a career out of it. (Finished a Swedish massage course, first year of Reflexology now in the second year and studying NLP to eventually get an instructor certificate) This is my aim for the next two years. I'll be back 🙏
Use the stack and spin all the time - forgot about the step over the head tonight when I was teaching it. Thanks for the refresher! Oddly enough, I taught the foot in the armpit one tonight, as well! All before watching this video...that's scary!
I don't really roll but I like watching these videos. Thanks! Just watched the one against Marcelo Garcia and it's crazy how good Garcia is. I keep coming across videos of him totally owning guys who are really good grapplers and I'm talking a tap every 30 seconds. Crazy stuff.
Omoplata is a leg-over shoulder lock somewhat similar to the kimura; it's to be used when you're on bottom. Usuable in guard and rubber guard (maybe in other guards as well). It is applied when you wrap your right leg over his left arm and twirl around to apply the lock. Most effective with the Gi. Sorry if my explanation sucks but the technique is known as the Omoplata. You should watch other demonstrations if you prefer.
Kesting is brilliant teacher. Just started MMA/SW, and found his BJJ Roadmap book (which is free and like 30-40 pages long. Not really focusing on specific techniques but rather where to begin and how to tie all the basic stuff together). I'm too impatient to not try and learn stuff on my own out of class, and his book and videos have given me a perfect stepping stone. It really works well with what we learn and practice in class, and it ensures I don't run off learning (for me, at this point) irrelevant things. So damn awesome! 👍
Thanks for the post. I was forgetting the risk of leaving one in and the other out to do a one leg stack pass. Thanks for the reminder. I got caught out a few times last week.
Thank you so much for this video, I just rolled for the second time in my life and on of my partners being much smaller choked and had me tap out 2-3 times with the triangle choke. I practice these escapes diligently and hopefully I won't get choked so easily. Awesome video, I especially liked the one you recommend for the flexible people.
I love watching & learning from your very intuitive video's. Especially on how to get out of a choke hold. I like taking the moves to open mate & surprising my opponents. Oss!
I've been trying this and it works! I'm constantly getting in trouble trying to guard pass, finding myself getting into my opponents triangle. This helps me, until I can I can figure out my dumb mistakes getting into the triangle in the first place!
I tried the stack and spin a few times and it worked against two different guys but my most recent time I tried it my opponent grabbed my leg so I couldn’t step over his head and unfortunately I tried to spin out still and I twisted my knee (tear in my meniscus), so be careful with any sudden spin movements. Now I’m out for 4 to 6 weeks. =(
These are some really good escapes! I competed about a week ago and lost my first round for being caught in a triangle, so these are definitely going to help me at the gym and definitely stuff I'll be working on! :D
pause the video at 7:07, I see Richie's left foot in a dangerous position for an Achilles ankle lock! I would rather scramble for the leg lock (unless his foot isn't available for leg locking). Great vid as always!
A lot of times your opponent is actually pulling your arm out anyways (during stack and spin?) in an attempt to armbar. From trying the technique successfully several times (THANKS STEPHAN) I've felt that once your arm is planted firmly on the floor or grabbing the gi, it's pretty safe. If you're stacking your weight right, they won't be able to lift your arm infront of them for armbars.
Love your videos. Downloaded your book through your site and am signed up for the tips via email. You've helped me tremendously; Thanks for all the knowledge!
3:15 if you do this with a cross collar grip it can tap them from neck pressure. Also in doing it this way you can put them in a back breaker move(not sure what it’s called) if they refuse to unlock.
Good thing to note, since it's a drill he can take his time for instruction purposes. Luckily if you're aware of this you can either take advantage of an opponent who doesn't know better or prevent your leg from being hooked depending on position.
