When deciding what I think are the most important escapes that people should learn early on in their training, I considered things positionally. The big 4 positions you’ll spend the most time in are mount, side control, guard and back mount. Being on the losing end of these sucks. Learning how to escape these positions is one of the most useful ways to spend your training time.
In this video, I show what I consider to be the most useful and helpful escapes from these positions.
• Upa Escape from Mount
• Elbow Escape from Mount
• Guard Replacement from Side Control
• Back Mount Escape
• Knee Cut Guard Pass
I hope this video is helpful. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Thank you all for watching! - กีฬา
upa escape from mount - 0:55
elbow escape from mount - 1:51
replace guard from side control - 3:11
back mount escape - 4:50
knee cut guard pass - 6:30
I just cannot believe this wisdom is FREE!!!!
So far*
It is but don't think its completely charitable. Ad revenue is a strong incentive.
It's a type of marketing.
White Belts - Save👏This👏Video👏!!!
It's going to be what keeps you alive until Blue. 🤙
It definitely saved me. Still does a lot of times!
Because Jitsu Just did 😄
Thank you for such valuable info
You ain't wrong
Probably the very best BJJ tutorials on YT.
I really appreciate how you explain and demonstrate everything in a way that’s easy to understand. From a clueless white belt, thank you.
I used that trap and bridge sweep last night on a blue belt and it worked flawlessly. I’m a white belt starting out thank you for your in depth knowledge and wisdom
I’m happy to hear it helped!
Learning BJJ is like learning to realize the truth because all of the moves are tested whether it is practical or not. I love it! It's like solving the puzzle.
• Upa Escape from Mount 0:42
• Elbow Escape from Mount 1:53
• Guard Replacement from Side Control 3:15
• Back Mount Escape 4:55
• Knee Cut Guard Pass 6:30
Definitely watch the whole video all the way through. But then skip to review whatever. You're all welcome.
Thank you so much for the indexing! 🙏
@@KnightJiuJitsu No problem. Just had my third class today as a white belt. Love the content! I'll be indexing more of your videos as I watch them :)
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am brand new to jiu jitsu and this is gold thank you for sharing your wisdom professor 🙏
great stuff as always, thanks so much for this! I always find it hard to remember them in the heat of the moment, i guess that just comes with practice tho
Great video. Really helpful for us beginners. Thank you.
As expected well explained. Great fundamentals. Greetings from Germany
Danke!!!
The first move. Bingo! Thumbs up!
Always great tips. Love the vids!!!
Outstanding content. Thank you 🙏🏻
Here in 2020! Crazy I never seen that guard pass, definitely going to try it tonight.
More great detail from Eli Knight! Thank you sir.
Excellent instruction. Thank you!
We did something similar last class, but it’s nice to have something I can save on my phone. Great video!
Good video - and excellent detailed verbal explanations of the moves.
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Just started BJJ so going to try these out in the next positional sparring session.
Another great basics video, thank you 😊
Love this guys videos, just 4 months into training and he has helped me tremendously. I hope to visit Knight BJJ in Kentucky soon in 2020.
I really appreciate that a lot!
Just started BJJ a couple weeks ago, and this info is great to go in with. I’ve gotta say though, if I close my eyes I feel like I’m listening to Vince Vaughn teach haha. Keep it up man! Very informative. 🤘🏻
🤣 fr, "ear muffs"!!
The best tutorial for me, thanks a lot.
As always, great video bro. 👏🏼
these videos are really helpful, thank u
Thank you coach!
This is pure gold. Thanks for the awesome content Professor!
💯
i love it. both videos ive seen are amazing for me az a roockie. thanks
Amazing! I was having a bear with a guy in side control and couldn't make any progress a bit back. I'm excited to try out this technique for that. Thanks!
You were grappling a bear?
Essentials! Love these. Escape videos are so good! Thank you 🙏🏻
🙌🙌🙌
This is great stuff!
Love these videos def would love to do a training down there
Awesome material!!
Thanks for taking the time to record and share this bro.
Thank you . 🙏 Very helpful. 🙂👍
Just what I was after Eli. Thanks.
I'm a white belt 3 months in and your videos have helped me progress greatly. Thank you!
I’m happy to hear that and I appreciate you watching them!
Thank you so much for the video man, the side control escape especially was exactly what I needed to know
Awesome! And I hope these help. Also, I need you to voice-over all my videos Mr Freeman. Haha
You look such better with beard! And thank you again for your awesome content, Sensei! :)
Knowledge is power !!!
Thanks for these. I kept trying to ghost escape from side control this week and just got smashed. Will definitely use these moving forward.
Excellent !!!
I love the outro music on these videos!
Much respect professor 👏
Good teaching as always. Being more "self defense oriented" I like drilling these escapes with some striking blended with them.
Thanks professor ,
love your breakdowns there super helpful espically this one its my second week now been ending up in worse positions than normal while rolling with afew of the higher belts yesterday have a class at 6:30 tonight wish me luck wit these
All part of the process! Good luck and I hope it goes even better and better.
Even when showing "basic" techniques, you always show little details I've never seen before, which makes these techniques all the more powerful. I love the fundamentals, man
Thank you! I really appreciate it and I try to do that.
This stuff is so clever.
Thank you that you exist!!
BJJ - the most sophisticated and technical advanced style of making another man give in to your need of intimately long, close-range man-to-man body contact 😍
Ahhh. The last one. Thank you. I needed an alternative to what I was attempting. ❤
Awesome! I hope it helps!
As always, great 👍🏼 stuff - 2 questions: for the trap & roll from Bottom of Mount, I was taught to look the opposite direction from the way you are rolling - thoughts 💭? Also, defending the RNC, I was taught to go down to the choking arm side as well, the way you show, but I’ve seen others prefer the other non-choking arm side?
I think you’re the best explainer of bjj
Thank you! That means a lot to me.
I understand that you are teaching principles of how human bodies can move and operate against each other in a certain type of combat scenarios, and there is much to be shown about such a complex topic. What seems strange to me however, is that there isn't a flood of fools criticizing you for "doing too many steps without the adversary doing anything" and "this will never work in a real fight against a non-cooperative adversary", as can be seen on in comment sections of some other taijutsu schools.
I get those comments from time to time for sure, but I think I tend to frame the context and include just enough details as to not overwhelm. I try to anyway. 🙏
Just beautiful
Great video
Nice there is a lot to learn here.
Awesome bro
Guys keep up the good content.
The details you give us are invaluable friend
I appreciate that greatly
Great instructions as always. When I’m bottom side control. I escape sometimes by swinging my legs for momentum and sit up rolling them over and then I’m in side control. Does it make sense??
These are slightly different than what I am currently being taught as a beginner white belt. I intend to try them as an alternative when the others "don't work" when I have a chance. I really like that they are not gi grip dependent as using gi grips is still one of many things I am struggling to learn effectively.
Muy buenos escapes 👍
knight jui jitsu has such good content!!! all i can remember each time is one peice of the move and work that
🙏🙏🙏
Well explained
Great well rounded video!!
Thank you!
Great breakdown! Do you have a series on comparing and contrasting a set of techniques 1 for 1, Gi vs no Gi?
I don’t but it’s a good idea for a video. I try to always mention variations for both during my videos but a standalone video would be a good idea
Man, this is probably the best jiu jitsu channel of youtube. It would be great if you a make a video of lots of half guard sweeps or lots of half guard passes. Just saying . Thanks for all your stunning videos :3
That’s a great idea and I appreciate the kind words for sure!!
Go support his Patreon. Top notch content in there
Master knight is one stunning sumbitch
Just discovered your channel. Great stuff!
Awesome, thank you!
Thats real shit, thank you😊
It all depends on your strength, balance and speed. However, you need to repeat it a lot to be able to perform the techniques quickly.
I must say thank you ❤
It always used to be in Self-Defense that a flat leg went over the calf and knee to bridge and roll. Now it is always the foot step over and not the press of the back of the thigh on the leg! You always see now the step over!
Also can you demonstrate some full back mount flattened out escape ideas! Some with cranks and rear chokes on!
* calf and heel
Best BJJ Instructional Website I've seen by far!
Thank you!
Professor Eli has one of the smoothest knee slice passes ever! I didn't even feel it. He already had a choke locked in, unbeknown to me, before he even started the pass. Surprise choke! So slick!
I think you exaggerate, Jason, but I do appreciate the hell out of it!
He’s one sneaky sumbitch.
Perfect video for me. Day 23 White Belt! Thanks Eli👊
That’s great to hear!
Day 23... Excellent stuff... I was a Day 23er... about a year ago... You came to the right place amigo. Oss!
This guy is Awsome
Oh yeah that's the moves!
Awesome.
I can't get enough of these videos, as a white belt. I have already used some of these techniques to survive my intermediate classes when we roll! Thanks, guys!
Happy to hear that!
I am a total beginner in bjj (3 weeks old). This video helps a lot in teaching me how to escape during rolling. Thanks for the vids
Thaaaaank you.
Fire 🔥 from start to finish
on the second escape what do you do with your knee when you say “clear it”
Great technique, love the channel. Could I ask, why the blue panel on your belt. Most times I see a red panel. Could you explain
I’m a black belt under Royce Gracie, and all of his black belts wear the blue sleeve. It’s in honor of Helio Gracie. (That’s the short answer anyway)👍
Love from N.Z👊🏾🔥🔥
🙏🙏🙏
🔥🔥🔥
Such a beautiful art of combat
Nothing is more frustrating than good defense. I'm 5'3 bout 120ish and I've gone with guys twice my size. And I can tell how my opponents pick up the intensity and try to force a submission 😂😂 thanks for the upload man 🤙
And I'm over here surviving the round trying to advise to a better position
Same here. If I just make them give up on something and have to re-position, or even reset to neutral position I feel like king of the world.
About first two escapes, i would say that Bridging works better when opponent is low and Shrimping when opponent is high, isn't it?
Anyway nice escapes, fine explanation as always.
Weird question lol. What did you do before BJJ? Wondering because you are really good at speaking and teaching. Your ability to explain is on another level
I appreciate the hell out of that. The only “real job” I’ve had besides teaching jiu-jitsu was graphic design. But I went to school for English and studied literature, writing and philosophy. My degree is in technical writing, so I had to learn about breaking down procedures for users of different programs and products. I guess that helps a lot.
@@KnightJiuJitsu that makes perfect sense now! Man not trying to kiss up or nothing but the way you explain really helps me since I am dyslexic and I'm a little slower than most people. So your methods keep me engaged enough to learn them a little then apply them when I get to class. Really appreciate it!
@The Amphibious One - Hahaha. Well, at least the "nerd" part is accurate.
Great content man
NICE VIDEO BRO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If your white belt is as crispy and new as mine (2 months).... slow this awesome video down to 0.75 (Added bonus, Eli sounds drunk as hell at that speed... :-) )
Hahahaha. That’s awesome.
Gos less you for posting these videos . I’m a struggling white belt . I want to become the best ever . I appreciate you very much
I’m happy to help!
I wanted to ask your opinion on a detail with sweeping from mount to inside closed guard. I've seen it taught differently in combative/self defence context versus sport BJJ context.
So you're under mount, you trap an arm and a leg and then you roll them over so you end up inside their closed guard. In the video here, you sat up straight away. I've seen in self defence context a focus on preventing your opponent shrimping to get their shin across your stomach so that they can't kick you away with that leg. If you sit up straight away then it is an option that someone could do, albeit probably not a very common response. I've never seen this consideration dealt with in sport bjj (other than being wary of the shin across the belly being the first signs of an incoming scissor sweep).
What are your thoughts on this? I know in the video you mentioned briefly that how you would handle being in closed guard would vary by ruleset, but what are some considerations you would need in a self defence context when "escaping" from closed guard? Even though the chances are low of someone shrimping then pushing you away with the shin before sending kicks at you, is it still something worth considering?
Thanks for the great content as per!
In most contexts (although I sit up right away in this video) I prefer to stay initially low and monitor the arms of the bottom opponent with my hands (wrists). I would wait for the appropriate time to posture up.
My biggest concern in a self defense context would be less on the leg coming in to kick like that, as it wouldn’t probably have much on it, and more on sitting up too soon and eating some shots from the bottom opponent.
You can check out my video on guard pass options for no rules situations and I think it might address what I’m talking about better.
@@KnightJiuJitsu I've found that if you can get a shin across the stomach and bridge to get your hips you can create a decent amount of space and (usually) get a foot online to deliver a fairly meaty kick after the fact. Granted that was all in a controlled environment.
Thanks, I'll take a look later. Keep doing what you're doing, I really love the content you make!
First step for me is to learn how to bend my knees like the instructor did. I can learn the techniques, but I can't execute due to lack of flexibility. I am working on that first and also lose 20lbs.
👏👏👏
How do you escape mount if they hook-and-post? I've only taken like eight classes but seems the most common thing to happen is when I get mounted I can't escape once my head being held/controlled in any way.
If they are sufficiently hooking and posting, that means they are low and wide in their mount. In this case, you should look to elbow escape. There are lots of elbow escape variations that can work for this, depending on the energy you’re receiving.
@@KnightJiuJitsu Thank you!
