Thank you. Trying to focus on escapes and you give a good group of scenarios that are closely related and likely to happen. I'll be practicing these soon
Thank you very much for this awesome video! I train judo and when I sparr on the ground I frequently end up in side control. And since in Judo you can finish a fight holding your opponent for 20 seconds in a dominant position, I lose often for that reason. I´ll try to use your escape technique in my next training.
Hi Eli. Great video thanks. I've just moved up into the teenagers class I'm a 13 year old girl and everyone else is a boy and about 15-17 years old. Could you please do a video on how to prevent side control before having to get out, because even as a yellow belt, some of these take me more thank 3 seconds😂 so my professor will give them the points. Thanks and cheers for the video xxx
I really appreciate the comment and question, Mandy! And thanks for watching my videos. Here is one of my other ones that might help With pass prevention. I would also recommend watching the other side control escape videos I have too, if you haven’t. Thanks again, and here is the pass prevention link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mhgtmj8JhZ8.html
Knight Jiu-Jitsu thanks I'll have a watch I used to do 1 class a week but now I'm doing 6 a week really trying to step it up. I was like I'm 12 now I've only done like 5 comps so now I'm training with 17 year olfd I feel like I'm improving. Since doing the teen class in August I've already got another degree on my yellow belt so thank you for your videos xxx
That sounds great! I'm sure with that level of training and interest, you're going to get better fast! Also, sorry for the previous comment where autocorrect changed Maddy to "Mandy"
I intersperse some 10P things in my videos sometimes, although I don’t always mention or attribute things properly. I can definitely do more on 10P stuff. I would also recommend Brandon McCaghren as a great instructional resource on RU-vid if you’re interested in that system.
@@KnightJiuJitsu and I was actually just watching some old videos and it was the holds form the back like the bear hug full Nelson video and thinking to myself if someone put you in a bear hug they would probably try to throw a form there and then I noticed you did full Nelson but not a half Nelson which I I'm now interested to your method of escape from it
Hi Eli, I really enjoy your videos, but I have been wondering for some time what method you would suggest to escape the side control if he succeeds in throwing his left arm also over you, i.e. if you failed the timing of your "turkish get-up" technique. (This is the "standard" way of doing side-control at my club.) Best wishes from Germany and keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching these! I look forward to visiting Germany in the next few months! Check out around 3:15 of this one I believe for what you’re asking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YjP2Mh-du3g.html
@@KnightJiuJitsu Thank you for your quick response! Sorry for being a bit unclear. What I meant was the following situation: He is perpendicular to you, i.e your breastbones are on top of each other turned 90 degrees (meaning that his legs are not possible to reach with your legs). His left elbow is on the left side of your head and he is, e.g. trying to do an "Americana". How would you suggest to escape that position/situation? Will you give any seminars during your stay in Germany? Thanks in advance.
The plan is for some seminars, yes. Looking forward to it. As for the escape, I would say the plan at that point should be to get the frames in place into the opponent's neck and hip and look to shrimp and replace guard.
OK I am no BJJ pro but I have spent a few years at hand to hand combat and I just don't get it. At position 2:45 why doesn't the guy on the bottom just use his left palm against the guys nose to crank the head back? Its not even a strike. Just simple body mechanics and head control. Once the guys head cocks back his body will follow and the guy on the bottom can reverse and escape. What's the big deal? If it was an actual street fight the guy on top is done and will be missing in an eye in the next two seconds.
That’s not reliable. If everything goes completely perfect then what you described will happen. But if you’re going with probable body mechanics and more reliable methods of manipulating structures in a fight, then the things I outlined in this video have been proven hundreds of times more in fights (documented on video and eyewitness accounts) than the extreme off chance that a palm strike from an inferior position, which has never seemed to work in any documented fight ever.
@@KnightJiuJitsu All fights are fluid. No technique works perfectly every time. Speed, aggression, level of brutality all come into play. There is no guarantees in a fight. I just like to have all options available to me especially simple ones that cause a lot of damage.
@@KnightJiuJitsu By the way body mechanics is sort of a bullshit marekting term. If BJJ is about body mechanics why can't I do a finger lock? Seems like body mechanics to me. Even yanking someones hair back to crank their head should be fair game. I understand eye gouges and groin strikes but not the other two.
You don’t understand body mechanics if you think it’s A. a bullshit term B. That a finger lock is body mechanics. Dudes break fingers all the time in fights and don’t even react. I’ve broken fingers and toes in friendly rolls in and after class and kept rolling. Pain doesn’t matter much at all in a fight. And this is the last response I’ll have on this conversation.
