That clamp sweep at 7:45 is legit. I’ve used it so many times. People don’t see it coming and typically laugh at it when I do it. It’s very simple but effective if they’re not pressuring forward
Love the kimura trap but never seen the armbar from this position! Going to try and work that into my game as this is one of my favorite spots to work from
great vid, but 2 things imo.. 1. when doing the arm drag I like to turn my towards turtle a little. but pointing my knee down, it's more difficult for him to keep the leg trapped. 2. on the hip clamp and push up, you can also just "alligator/anaconda roll". It's called a "g-role" popularized by one of shaolin's students. That can be more effective when you're opponent isn't giving you the space to go inverted
good video AND great channel. I feel like you've been consistently putting out great stuff before the whole world started posting stuff. Doing it before it were cool:)
I really appreciate that a lot. I started my channel in 2007, and it didn’t really do much for about 10 years, then finally took off. I’m trying to be as consistent and as high of quality as I can manage, so comments like yours really make me happy 🙌
Mr. Knight Video idea. Regarding the leg weave pass I get smashed there often from that position. Could you please do a video of viable options regarding defenses. I have a few suggestions, but I am certain I am missing a few.

Experienced a similar issue. Saw they went for the weave pass. Tried to cup their tricep but there was no space between me and their chest to get my arm through😕
I Always learn with your videos. I do have one question that pertains to around the 3:00 mark. If he were to post with left leg, how would you adjust your attack? Thanks to you and all your human bodies for the work yall put into these!
Thanks for the kind words, and that’s a good question. The way I would suggest handling him posting the leg in that particular situation is with the same detail I mention right after, regarding if he tucks his arm to resist the Kimura. Pummeling the knee shield leg over to press off the hip for the “power kimura” will help to prevent the pass and secure the submission potentially, despite him posting his leg.
Professor whenever I go for the Kimura attack you showed my opponent usually counters by grabbing their own wrist and pulling up essentially turning my kimura into their own and I’m forced to let go. Do you have any solutions for this? Thank you
That’s a good defense for sure. That has more to do with their posture than anything else. You have to make sure you can keep their posture compromised and keep their hands separated, as well as their arm you are attacking separated from their center. Legs and hips help with creating the distance and establishing frames. Other than that, just make sure you have a back up plan in the chamber, in the form of a bridge, sweep it back take.
Encore de l'excellent travail maître Eli. Merci beaucoup. By the way,one question (it s not relative to knee Shield).According to you, does it exists any, mounted arm triangle escape ?((you know whenhis but is on your chest, and between his legs, your poor arm and your head).i dont think so but i would like your point of view(maybe it exists) e)
There are definitely mounted arm triangle escapes. They’re low-percentage, just because the fact that someone had to be good enough to get you to that compromised point. But there are defenses. The most effective, in my opinion, is framing inside the elbow and creating just enough space to “back stroke” out and reset the position. I am actually filming an instructional this coming weekend with BJJ Fanatics strictly on choke defenses, and this one will be included along with many others.
Thank you for the excellent video! I hope someone can answer my question: what is stopping the top guy from doing a knee cut pass? Is it the top knee? What does the bottom leg do to help you? Thanks!
The knee shield is the primary obstacle stopping the knee cut. The bottom leg compounds the defensive aspect, because it helps to anchor and tether the potential passing leg. Couple these factors with the arm frames, and the knee cut can’t work from this position. Some preliminary steps need to be taken to set it up.
