as a white belt, the KesAmericana from this video has gotten me more taps than any other submission. Just came back to say thank you.
As a fellow white belt It’s one of my favorites too. Super easy to get on big guys for a smaller 140 guy like me lol.
It’s killer in MMA It sets up the crucifix
I'm a 140 lb white belt as well and I actually came up will that submission before I had seen it anywhere. I was hoping I invented it 😂.
@@LEGhellnah hahaha, I thought I invented it too! Lol.
For old school ppl, it would be Kesa Garami and Kata Gatame Kubi Hishigi. If anyone aksed xD
The pure glee with which he delivers his bone breaking ‘kill system’ haha. Never known anyone to be so nice and polite with such an underlying menace 😄
Haha thanks
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Hi, I arrived some years later lol. Do you have a escape serie? Thanks for the vid
Just used this tonight. Had my brown belt coach in Kesa Gatame. To my surprise he leaves arm out. I slide it under my leg and into the Americana. It works. I get the tap. His father looks over at him (Black Belt 🥋 that runs the gym) with surprise and disgust. I’m a one strip white belt. (NOBODY). Later we all line up, Professor says to higher belts it’s time to bring the pain to striped white belts and up. Kesa Gatame works. Side note: I’m going to get wrecked from now on.
Unrelated comment, you really have a very pleasant way of speaking, and I don't mean the accent, I'm talking about your diction, inflection and the tone of voice. It's very soothing and nice to listen to.
Spot on
I agree. It’s what made me watch a second video of his. There are a lot of “tough guys” doing videos out there. I’m not doubting his toughness. He’s just not throwing it in your face. I’d like to have a beer with Prof. Tom & just talk BJJ. Seems like a genuinely nice guy. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Hahahahahaha so true
Try not to get a boner
Agreed. It's very disarming. People usually get choked out before the realise that although Professor Tom sounds like a proper gent, he's a straight up killa!!
"unfortunately horrific choke" What a great description
As a judo guy l learned kesa since like Day one, but just the pinning and balance, this tutorial on submissions is pure gold.
the Kesa transition into the modified Kata set up was sweet, but I enjoyed seeing him take the kata gatame set up into the choke. Very sweet transition.
Same, he has a lot of good details in this video. I'm taking some notes.
Also a Judo guy - didn't even realize, i had all this access to all these submissions from that position.
Yup these were the first two techniques I was taught in judo. But only as pins.
@@katkyle8169 me neither. But we can only do the first 2 that attack the elbow right? We can't do the 3rd one (neck crank/choke) or the kamura right?
can you make a video on your charisma system ?
it is out of control
hahaha love it! (-: Tom Davey
I was thinking the same thing the whole time.
Hauahauahauahahauauauaha
seriously, I am falling in love with him :O
@@deusvult5115 Fight for the lord🗡
As someone who comes from a judo/wrestling background, I can attest! My only complaint is that for 20 years I've been surprising BJJ guys with this system but now you've revealed it to them!
😂😂😂 Fantastic comment bro. Hilarious.
don’t worry, there’s still an UNGODLY amount of subs you can hit from that position that he did not cover. 😉get creative
I'ma simple man, and when I see "kill system", I click...
Excellent display, btw. Thank you
some poor bugger in my gym is gonna cop that head and arm choke this week lol - thanks coach tom!
The kimura option at the end was cool. I wish I drilled the submission sequences more back in the day. The kesa gatame is the most common position you naturally get from most judo throws
this is some amazing unorthodox stuff
Dean Lister the only person disliked this video
lol! (-: Tom Davey
3:01, It IS called Head & Arm control. This is a fundamental Catch wrestling position, and the name is exactly what you said. Those guys were hitting it for years, before jiu-jitsu guys figure out that you can also control the guy without the far-side underhook.
I remember still 20 years ago, practically all jiu-jitsu coaches taught this move as "wrong" positioning (including the Gracies and Machodos), which is also why you don't get points for it in jiu-jitsu tournaments. Funnily enough, the same coaches who slandered the Head & Arm position didn't even have the right body-weight positioning themselves when demonstrating it, so I guess they were right about their own technique. It wasn't made popular in jiu-jitsu until that Catch wrestling fellow Josh Barnett used it to submit Dean Lister with it, so maybe we should call it the "Barnett".
+Kalle Pikku my Machado bjj curriculum had me learn this as a white belt over a decade ago. Josh Barnett is also a third degree under Rigan Machado . Head and arm for the win!
Im a 6,2” 175 pound 3 stripe white belt. Just tapped 2 purple belts today in open mat this morning. Im a believer! Love your channel
I can’t even get blue belts to side control to begin with
@Jiu-Jitsu 4 Odin yeah! You're definitely right! Don't do that if you don't want your partners to be unplesant and that'll cause trouble!
@Jiu-Jitsu 4 Odin no fucking way a white belt can even hold a legit purple in scarfhold
you change schools?
@@tomsnow925 some time they let you work so it may be possible to surprise them
2:50 when the risk almost makes you cry
Being new to jiujitsu this is how I managed to get my first legitimate tap. Thank you for this.
Great video. First time I’ve seen a BJJ person teach this properly rather than broken scarf hold like most BJJ people do. I’m a judo player and it sucks so bad being on the bottom of this and I can honestly say I’ve never once had my back taken from Kesa
This was the first ground technique I learned in Judo, now, after 4 years of training, I mastered it and is one of my favorite moves
This is hands down my favorite BJJ video on TH-cam. I really can't get enough of it. Everything from the pleasant, nearly boyish-like enthusiasm of Steve Irwin talking animals to the absolute devastation of this system. It's just amazeballs. Thank you so much, Prof. Tom! It's 3 years later, do you have any updates or developments for this by any chance?
“Whenever I get rolled like this, I hold onto the head like a white belt beginner..”. Ahah ahah. Classic.
I’m a Kesa- girl 😂
First real role as a newbie in BJJ I found myself flying into it because it was my safe place from Judo 😉
Been looking for submissions from here because when the pressure goes up- I slide into Kesa to think for a sec… 😂
Go kesa!!!! 🤙🏼🥋Tom Davey
As a one month white belt I need to say, that this kesa gatame armbar submission is just SO amazing! As any whitebelt I don't get many submissions, but when rolling with other whitebelts I try to go for it and it always works. Thank’s a lot!
The fact this content is free is why bjj DVD's aren't being bought because this content is better
TH-cam algorythm sent me here and so glad it did. You can feel Professor Tom's awesome energy by the way he talks and he explains everything so well! Subscribed 🤙🏻
🙏🥋thank you
I can confirm I got a lot of upper belts with the kesa gatame americana submission... they don't see it coming at all.
Just used this tonight. Had my brown belt coach in Kesa Gatame. To my surprise he leaves arm out. I slide it under my leg and into the Americana. It works. I get the tap. His father looks over at him (Black Belt 🥋 that runs the gym) with surprise and disgust. I’m a one strip white belt. (NOBODY). Later we all line up, Professor says to higher belts it’s time to bring the pain to striped white belts and up. Kesa Gatame works. Side note: I’m going to get wrecked from now on.
Like how you broke down the whole system and why you would get to the position. Very informative
I liked it too.
Pssst. (Whispers) : It’s Professor now. 😃
I was out of training for most of this week. Saw this video and watched it everyday to get it down. Came to class today and caught two higher belts with this series! Thanks coach!
This system got me 3 of my 4 submissions, and 2nd/12 in NoGi, at my first ever competition back in March. OSS! Best Channel ever!
White belt with maybe 8 lessons under my belt. Remembered watching my son getting taught the Kesa Gatame, watched this video to refresh my memory and tapped 4 different higher ranked dudes with this system at an open mat today.
Such a good answer to the bottom guy getting the underhook. My coach says to always avoid this position, but as a wrestler, I'm attracted to it. Now that I've seen you demo it I'm gonna hit it
as a judo practitioner I aply all these techniques all the time with great success even at jits clubs - nice video
He he he... Me too.. Mans get crushed...
I got a pretty decent Judo background, and when I started BJJ I heavily used this position because of my background. Got some success with it. But my teacher said he didn't like that pin, because it was to easy to escape because you already had the underhook. He said you can only catch beginner with it. So I was kinda force to abandon it although Kesa was always my favourite. Thank you for giving it some love ^^
I hope Ur professor can try to escape kesa gatame from a Olympic level judoka. Even Olympics level judoka have issues escaping kesa gatame considering its bread and butter of judo
damn, what a gold mine worthy info source !!!
Thumbnail...excellent. Editing...great. Information...world class. Professor Tom...amazing!
+Justin thanks for the kind words. Oss
Thank you my man !
i have learned a lot from this! as a smaller guy it give me the options to be aware where my hands and arms are. i understood why i got tapped out many times in this position and it allow me to understand why the person on top of me are doing what they are doing! thank you Prof Tom!
Awesome! Thanks Coach Tom!
WoW! BJJ guys will never admit this works, because BJJ designed an entire system to break this position, versus learning this position. So they don't know how to react to it, but just tell you how to escape from it. It's not the best way of teaching if you can't hold the position. Thank you for describing the importance of the arm. The arm is the most important part, at some points you can lose the head, but if you have the arm, you can suck them back in. lastly, you took more of a wrestlers position, with weight on the chest, that's cool for big guys, but for small guys, you need to spin with them to hold them there. You control arm and head, and when they rotate into you, you just rotate with them, "You go they go" squeezing the head and pulling the arm tighter. You want the shoulder of the opponent under your leg at all times. My son at 115lb has held off 200lb guys in this position, for a good minute, not submitting, but just controlling by using the above technique. If you can't control this position, I would not recommend submitting from position, lots of things can wrong and you can hurt your partner. It's better to work on control.
Here is the legendary Sensei's teaching this position from the 50's: 24 minutes in they talk about groundwork and Ketsa Gatame and show the positions. The leg under the shoulder is what most people teaching Ketsa tend to forget. Sid the arm, It's the second most important technique for the ride. The head can get sucked back in. My sons go to BJJ and Judo, they do well in this position at BJJ clubs. I do Judo.

5:36 Spot on! This is true Jiu Jitsu, if you're fighting any human stronger than a 5 year old, it would be a lot easier to move *_around_* your opponent rather than moving your opponent.
The quite , shy white belt is very cute
Thanks to Jonathan. I doubt that was fun. Also, he has really good form and movement for a no-stripe white belt.
Dude I'm getting praised at my gym as I'm submitting people with these crazy moves and I've only been doing it for 3 months! I can't thank you enough man! You're honestly such a great teacher :)
This is a Judo technique and although martial arts techniques are ubiquitous, it’s important to note where it first came from.
I have been doing Kesa for 52 years submitting heaps. Just learned the Kimura from your video, so, old dogs new tricks. Osu. Can I just say? I get a better response for submission by turning my body slightly away, sort of looking over my left shoulder. Puts pressure on their diaphragm without you leaning back and possibly getting turned over. Also, I tell my people to hold the arm under your armpit. Pull it in clamping the armpit tight. the hand is free to do whatever. Professor, thank you. I loved your clear explanation. I commenced Judo in 1966 aged 10. Just promoted to Shodan on 25th August with the Aust Kodokan Judo association. I know, I'm a slow learner.
In Bushidokan, that is the very first move taught in the system to start practicing ground fighting. Kesa Gatame - it is in truth in that style from catch. Jim Harrison, was an is very knowledgeable on martial arts stuff.
"I will make him pay. How do I make him pay?" Love that glint of evil in your eye as you say that. LOL -
Thank you! OSS!
This is like my 5th time watching this over the last 2 years. Just to keep refreshed on it.
This is one of the top-5 educational no gi videos on the internet
"That is an unfortunately horrific choke" might be my favorite thing ever said by a jiu jitsu coach 🔥🤙 🤣😂🤣😂
I love keza being ex judo doing bjj now.........i only used to do the arm bar finish from there but the americana and kumura look great! Thanks 👊👊
good to see the basics covered, learned this back in 73 and its still relevant today.
What a great teacher. Clear, precise and friendly instructions. I love how he showed all the possible counters, what a great way to learn
Love this. As someone who does both Judo and Jiu Jitsu, I can state with a fairly high degree of confidence that it is almost impossible to escape from a good Kesa applied by a competent practitioner of the same size or bigger. That said, I have always thought that the donwside of Kesa was the limited options for submissions with out giving up position. This really opens up Kesa as an offensive position and not just a defensive controlling position (i.e. win via pin in Judo or wear them out before changing position and looking for a more offensive position in Jiu Jitsu).
Exactly. My thoughts exactly.
I tapped my roommate with this while he was watching big mouth, thanks Tom.
got to this position for the first time this bjj gi class, against a blue belt, got the arm and head choke first try, really good! also finished another student with the kaimura from this position.
Very cool video, congratulations, however almost all the techniques come from traditional judo, but is amazing how they can work so well also in grappling or no-gi BJJ.
My favorite part at 8:01
" But I have a favorite"
With a sinister smile🤙🏻 great stuff Professor, I tend to trap the far arm,and do the old talking on the phone trick to the step over series but I may start doing this head control to some of my students haha. When they tap I will send them your regards.
The step over series would be a great addition to this. Happy rolling Breck. (-: Tom Davey
I practice the escapes and I couldn’t believe how tough it is to escape when a bb judoka had me in this position
Really cool and informative. Thanks
Such an amazing video, I often get this position and can't finish, this week will be different!
Yes thank you! I love this position, but have only known and used the weakest one of the submissions you mentioned (armbar using outside leg)! I’m so excited! Thanks again!
I learned the Darce and Arm Triangle from you a few years back, both have become my go to moves. Excited to try this out and add it to my game. Thanks coach!
I hit this move at ibjjf world masters, thought i would get DQed, but no, got the tap
Bro I thought I was gonna get DQ'd just for signing up
@@Link00TMM 😂😂😂
None of these are illegal. Why would you think you were going to get dq'd? lol
I always end up here and never know what to do, you’ve changed my life thank you 🙏🏽
I hit this morning for the first time after trying for 2 weeks.... felt amazing
Look up Erik Paulson. He came up with a lock flown series to this years ago. This is all catch wrestling. I learned all this stuff a long time ago. It is a great position.
christ this video is amazing, you're so good at explaining concepts, lucky to have your free content on youtube!
Coach Tom looking JACKED!!!!! Love these videos. Thank you
Professor Tom > What we deserve.
Great technique. I have had lots of success with the modified version where my arm is under his arm instead of in the headlock. Submissions come very quickly as the pressure is intense. Got that version from a Rhadi Ferguson video. Very high percentage.
Holy crap this works couldn’t help myself! Tapping dudes and they never see it coming. Thanks Professor Tom!
Im judoka and one of the best techniques I ever knew against bjj fighters (and anybody else) is kesa gatame, so powerfull control and many ways to finish.
Thanks and congrats from México
I swear everyone follows peterson grappling. Still a wonderful new perspective.
I wish I could “like” this twice. Such a nice demo
Watched this video loads and at training tonight pull it off on 5 different people no one was expecting it at all.
Thanks Coach! I landed in this position during rolls last night and went for the Americana. My opponent straightened his arm and I caught him in the arm bar. This was the first time I've ever tapped this opponent! I know next time he'll fight harder to not land in Kesa Gatame but these small victories are the fuel for this old man to keep going.
🙏💪🥋
Listening to his voice alone is like an ASMR. You cud hardly tell he is actually talking abt martial arts lol. Putting that aside.. the info in this vid is pure GOLD!
I love this video! Tom, you're one of the best BJJ teachers on the planet. Love that you have fun teaching and make it easy to understand.
+Mike Cowles thanks Mike
Nice! The kesa gatame is the first pin we learn in judo!
Also Judoka here, Since I end up in Kesa all the time I will now use this and tap them rather than waiting for the 20 second ippon
That was excellent. Thank you. I am so grateful that Jigoro Kano's work (and Kimura's, to be fair) survives. I particularly liked you highlighting the importance of keeping the lead leg straight out in front of you, in order to not get rolled.
And I can attest to how effective, and painful, leaning on the ribs can be - somebody did that to me in (Judo) class, and I was very sore for about 3 weeks afterwards. And I tapped the second I felt that pressure and pain.
One important aspect of Kesa Gatame is to make sure your inside hip (the one touching your opponent's body) is doing just that: touching his body. Any space between you and your opponent allows him to shrimp and potentially roll you.
In addition to Kesa Gatame (Scarf Hold) here, you have Makura Kesa Gatame (Pillow Scarf hold), Kata Gatame (Shoulder Hold), and Kuzure Kesa Gatame (Broken Scarf Hold).
This is amazing. Love the actual advice for people who are strong at 5:50
My son sent this to me, new subscriber. This is good but yes as you said be cautious don't injure your partner.
Coach Tom you are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Hey, Tom. It’s Taylor from ground dwellers in Houston. I was the one who had the sweatiest gi at your seminar at ground dwellers and the machado seminar in Dallas. You popped up in my feed and now I’m a subscriber. Hope you’re doing great man.
Great to hear from you Taylor 🙏🥋🤙🏼
These are all Catch positions or hold downs with Catch principles applied. The side control position was a staple in my Catch grappling days back in the early 80s. Good times.
You put this out three years ago when I first started. It’s been my absolute favorite since then and yesterday when I was able to teach my first class as a two stripe blue belt I taught it! It was hard to not let the Australian accent come out 😅
Fantastic series!
I'm a no-stripe white belt (probably earning my first stripe in the next month or so) that ends up on the BOTTOM of this hold virtually every time I roll with the best blue belt my gym has (2-stripe blue is our highest in the school for BJJ).
Appreciate you covering how to possibly get out of the hold in addition to how to submit them under it! I just tap as soon as I end up in it now since I end up just gassing myself every time. Now I'll have at least one more technique to attempt.
I'm an ex wrestler and beginner white belt. Found it pretty easy to get into side control but having trouble with with Americana and other finishes from there. This one worked first try! Thank u!
I went to a Gracie BJJ academy black belt instructor said Kesa ketame doesn't work its a joke. Tried to get out of it I held him down for 10 minutes upset I got him there again same thing. It works so well done correctly thanks for sharing!
🙏🥋yes kesa is no joke!
I’ve watched this video maybe 10-12 times now. Keep coming back to it then implementing it in rolling. I’ve got the first one, the Americana three times now and now want to try out submissions 2 and 3 next time I get in kesa getame.
Thanks for your videos, they’re great!
🙏💪
Just updating you… rolled with a purple belt and tapped them with the “kesamericana” the other week. He then proceeded to smash me haha, love it
The vibes from this man are as ever impeccable. What a nice,sincere and knowledgeable fellow.
Coach, this system is seriously too good. I’m a white belt and have never gotten a tap...until tonight...people asking “wait what is that you just did to me?” about the Americana
This is brilliant as a new white belt this gives me a unseen system to work with
Lovely submission's, from my already favorite position since I started to learn it yesterday in my class :D This is just pure control, being under it, makes you wanna tap already just from the pressure :D
Loved it Prof.
This man's voice is friggin heavenly
Kesa gatame is one of the first "pins" you learn in Judo, as a white belt. But, we don't get exposed to these other applications. This was fantastic!
Idk if you’ll see this.. Yesterday night I choked out a very good blue belt… I was out of breath, dying, took all I had to get to Kesa Gatame… he had a strong one hand Gia choke with the un trapped arm, wore him out with my weight, being 60lbs heavier, pure muscle, we are similar body fats. Literally couldn’t think, felt like I was done, I heard prof Tom in my head, accent and all - “Head to head, palm to palm, lift him up, and arouuuuuuund.” *tap*
I’m a 1 stripe white.
Haha nice!
3 months into BJJ and I'm liking this position more and more. It's easy to bail to from pretty much any side control and has gotten me quite a few taps.
Hay Professor Tom 3 strip white belt here, I watched your video before class started today and I deffenatly nailed it I got 1 with the arm extended all the way out for an armbar with my legs and the other leg triangle it was awesome just got done with class to tell you. You got a sub from me bro.cheers
🙏🤙🏼🥋💪
