@@ReisterJP escaping a pinned position will always be difficult. Elbow positioning is most important. How would you attempt to escape if your elbow is isolated out of curiosity?
Henry Akins calls it the soul stealer, he's featured in a recent Bernardo Faria vid and it is covered in more details in the first part of his weight distribution masterclass. As a white belt I've been incorporating this (in the gi) and it's amazing. A detail is to turn the oponent and slip your leg under their shoulder, then the first escape should be much harder, and being on your toes and putting all your bodyweight on your oponent's chest. I've been flipped but i feel it happened only when putting weight at the wrong place. I'll be careful about this second escape!
It’s funny, I’ve been watching your videos for over a year, and no one in my class can get a win over me, I say I watch your videos on RU-vid, and they just look at me funny🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, all other instuctional feature a smaller opponent, for which i would not even get stuck in this dumb position. A big guy is smashing my guard and alwaya passing to side to finish me off with the rib crush, while i ve known to flip him over sometimes this detail is making the change.
You make it sound so easy, but it's never that simple on someone good at this. I finally just learned to pull that arm down as they are going into the position. If im not already escaping as they pull me in, im probably going to be stuck there a while unless they suck at the position.
Escaping any dominate position is difficult. Most techniques in general are difficult against someone good. It wasn't my intention to make it sound easy.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu definitely agree there. I didn't mean to imply anything was wrong with the technique demonstrated. The upwards bump definitely does make it way easier!
I was stuck there yesterday. The guy got me on that position and I managed to free both my arms under his armpit. The problem was that he was crushing my jaw with his grip and I couldn't slip my head to get to the back. After like 30s I managed to slip my head and take the back but this would be pretty helpful to reverse the position. Definitively will use this next time. Like always, thanks Jordan for all your wisdom!
I actually feel like this one still requires more strength than needed. Not that your ideas bad because it obviously works! What I do is I bump them to the side and make them bass. Many times they will bass and will also push back into you, which allows you to do the reversal super easy. if they totally lose it in the base, you can take their back. If they just hang on, they have no choice to push back onto you and then it’s also easy to use that momentum to take them over. Try it and tell me what you think. Thanks for the video.
Thanks coach I get stuck here constantly. So pull them to your head then dump to the side. With a big bridge as well. I hope I can get this on a big guy that puts me in this all the time.
This escape is taught in judo but sadly this doesn't work against someone heavier on top of you. In the video when @jordanteaches ask tony to resist more you can tell he's not applying any pressure on @jordanteaches chest that just shows the application of the technique is not being applied , also this is not called kesa Gatame its makura kesa gatame. the only technique that will work if you get your elbow downed as shown in the video.
Ya Tony is a whitebelt and isn't too familiar with the position. Elbow positioning is definitely top priority. Agaisnt someone good it'll always be incredibly hard to escape a solid pin.
i guess that move really plays into something i heard you say in another video (and i didnt realize until then): its surprisingly easy to lift even heavy people from bottom position
The kesa-gatame would be much stronger if Tony kept your right hand stuck between his left hand and his chest. Just holding your neck isn't really a big of a deal to escape from😅 I mean, you are a top jiu-jitsu instructor and you kick-ass, but when a judoka(such as myself) pins you the right way, it's a huge problem for the person in the hold-down.
Ya countering any technique is difficult when your opponent is doing everything perfect. Especially pins. It's important to have options to escape as, if the first attempt doesn't work it can create movement to plan B and C. Tony is a white belt and all I had available to demonstrate on when I filmed this. I'll post a long form video this week escaping kesa. I already filmed it. I didn't have any judo black belts available but I did have two strong blue and purple belts at least.
This escape actually doesn't work if the opponent has their right leg straight out in line with your spine instead of at 90 degrees as displayed in the video. What would be your escape to their leg being in the correct position for this technique?
The person on top doing kese, can block this attempt by keeping their leg straight. Parallel with the bottom opponents spine. The leg from the top person, and head/spine of the bottom person should be going in the same direction.
If you try this I will post with the hand that is around your head and get it back in there quickly. I can feel you going for that way earlier. Plenty of time to adjust!
This is one of those I can do perfectly fine, until we ab 10 minutes into rolling. Then there’s no pulling someone up and over me lol just pure pain at that point
I like to frame up and away on their head then use my flexibility to triangle them, it’s usually not tight enough to get a submission but it’s enough to get them off of me. Only thing is that after I’ve done it once I’ll never hit it on the same person again hahaha
The risk with framing on their head with your inside hand is that they can can push your elbow so your hand goes past their head and they turn it into an arm triangle.
lol my buddy likes to post on his head when i try to throw him over so when i’m bump him forward i snap my elbow down and try to get on my knees when he pressures and follows me i use the momentum to throw him over
His legs not extended and you are never ever getting that floating rib gable grip. If you wind up where you were in kessa you fugged up a long time ago......
if his hips are on your chest and not on the floor i think it would be impossible to escape that way. that's the detail on that technique. give it a try :)
