here u go
i really enjoy these. Hope they keep on doing them.
nice video.
Great stuff i could watch this stuff all day
The best at what they do. TEACH JIU JITSU!!
great stuff...i was more prone and in favor of the leg grab...however i have had respoonses where that doesnt always work. guess iwas fortunate and mostly it may have been done with timing and sensitivity as to why i escaped the arm triangles. its good to know other options as well :)
Great info.
But I think they could have just as easily focused on how Shane could have finished in round 1 if he had even decent white belt BJJ skills.
Rather than punching Brock's arms 500 times, he might have mounted, been more selective with his strikes, and actually finished. Brock certainly did not have much of a bottom game.
And even if he failed to finish, he might not have been totally gassed in round 2, etc.
Great job I thoroughly enjoying watching the brothers break down fights!
BjjinCT - Great stuff i could watch this stuff all day
"True Dat!"
please pass on our thanks 12.
Those guys looked like they would be fun to hang out with, lol! They have great personality. I bet their seminars are a blast!
Good stuff, but I also think they kind of "missed the mark" a little on this one...
The defense Shane Carwin was doing is, I believe, a popular "misconception" that has taken root of what is a legit -and powerful- way to defend the Katagatame / Arm Triangle.
Commonly, people think you grab your fist and push your triceps into your opponent's neck (as Carwin did and the boys discussed). That can work sometimes, but my understanding is that historically, that is not the actual defense.
You actually use your (in this case) left Triceps on your opponent's neck and your right foot on the ground to RAISE YOUR HIPS off the ground.
To do this you can only use your right foot, your left leg must be straight (as if doing a hip escape or side fall).
The power comes from pushing off the ground with your right foot creating a cantilever effect. The force from pushing off your right foot combined with your body weight are what cause your opponent to break his grip, loosen his grip or (if he continues to hold on and is flat on his belly) get rolled.
If you push with both feet, you completely lose the angle to do the technique. Again, you're using your left elbow and right foot, your raise your hips off the ground. As you raise yourself up, imagine "elbowing" the back of your opponent's neck to raise yourself off the ground.
Additionally, your left hand should be pointing down towards your right hip, allowing you to push with your left elbow in a "back stroke" motion. The line of force for this technique is supposed to be DIAGONAL, starting with your right foot and ending with your left elbow.
When people "misapply" this technique, the line of force is PERPENDICULAR across their shoulders and they mostly are using their upper body. That will not work very well if your opponent is stronger.
I honestly don't know how or why the idea behind this great escape seems to have become so "lost" in Judo & BJJ & Grappling, because you can find most of the details in some old Judo books.
The technique is not just supposed to stall your opponent, it is an honest-to-god actual escape.
Mechanically, it is amongst the most powerful escapes I have experienced.
I have a sort of theory that one of the reasons Jigoro Kano taught this hold / strangle on one knee is because if you go flat onto your belly to finish the strangle( which arguably IS a slightly better strangle), it is too easy for your opponent to escape this way.
But I think, these days, this escape has been more or less "lost" and people feel safe to go flat onto their bellies.Once your opponent knows this escape, you can't finish the choke on your belly anymore and you will need to do it "old school" Judo/ Jujutsu style, on your knee.
I guess, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
up
Would that still work if your opponent put his knee over the hip? That is how I finish the submission. I also like to take my knee and spike it into uke's solar plexus.
Wow...I gotta try that. Thank you.
I want to see Shen make the video. That was a dissertation.
I like this video too, it seems pretty clever, good initial defense with both hands doing a different job, then the switch-base to get onto his front and then roll into kesa-gatame.
