Preventing a Flying Scissor (Kani Basami) from Single Leg

When looking to prevent Kani Basami from a single leg situation you must seek to keep your opponent constantly off balanced. A balanced opponent is a dangerous opponent. The shoulder roll is an excellent method of making your opponent carry your weight thus causing him to become off balanced as he struggles to manage the increased load on his free leg.
I have been on the opposite side of severe injuries before and it's not fun. My heart goes out to the dude that got his ankle broken. Hate to see that stuff, especially at the amateur level.

If this technique can help even just one person avoid injury from Kani Basami then it was well worth it. Train safe, train smart.

Thanks Placido, RIP that guy's leg

[@Drikkerbadevand]

What needs to happen is people need to learn safe throws. Stop doing the kani basami from the front it is literally a recipe for injury

As a wrestler I never understood how anyone could get caught by this shit, but I realize you guys aren't hitting singles right. They way he's demonstrating is how a single should always be done. Also by the time you grab the leg you should already be following through with a trip a shot. Don't play hop scotch with the guy.

I used to wrestle and I’ve seen people try the scissor thing, but it’s never worked on me. I couldn’t explain how, but now I see why. Those wrestling instincts saving me! I’m either heavy on their thigh or I’m pulling their ankle up to the sky. No scissor there!

Thank you so much for this. This will stick in my mind forever. Great advice. So many low level clowns out there who will attempt to throw this move at my long legs.

Anytime something bad happens to you in combat sports its ultimately because YOU did something wrong. There are ways to stop whatever just happened to you, just gotta know it. Hopefully that guys leg is alright

I think this is one of the only clips or videos on TH-cam that address this issue. Thank you!

In silat its 100% legal. And they run and jump into it. But actually do the scissoring mechanics. And theres basically no injuries to the point its banned in multiple styles and tournaments

[@makkane5557]

Yeah but really people shouldnt be going for that move it’s unforgivable

Thanks for simplifying the prevention of a dangerous technique. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Thank you on behalf of the grappling community.

oh fuck that highlight at the beginning, ... but thank you for these clips!!

[@arthasinagamingchair]

Well needed clip. Thank you, Placido

[@seanpgallagher22ify]

Great video. Travis Stevens doesn’t allow moves where both feet leave the floor. Safety prolongs careers.

[@mircko191]
