It's a good technique, Damian Maia teaches almost the exact same escape, but I've found that it leaves the arm too exposed for arm locks. Most guys at our school will immediately attack the arm if it's on the outside.
it seems that alot of guys who train directly under gracie humaita have the same mannerisms, one of my instructors had the same thing with the snapping fingers, and I have seen other people do it as well.
I dont know about the newer generation guys, but the old school guys definitely had some of that going on, especially if they trained at the Academia de Gracie in Rio
Side note for all you white and blues like me.this particular technique for creating space by hipping out allows bait for the top side for a step over choke. I hit it the other night lulling my partner into easily gett8ng that space
I think you miss the point of the escape. An underhook is always optimal for side mount escapes. To protect against armbars and be ready to shoot an untelegraphed underhook, our far arm should be flat on our chest. The problem is, a good side mount player on top of you will ALWAYS find a way to pry open your far arm. When he does this eventually, and secures an underhook, it is only a matter of time before he inchworms his hand up the mat to secure THE EXACT same grip shown here. At this point on the bottom, you have two options. You can bridge as shown by Henry and escape while framing his hip with your near side arm, or you can move your far side arm to frame underneath his neck while cupping his shoulder. This frame is stronger than leaving your arm extended as shown in the video, but it's hard to get here against a good top player. Not only that, but if you can frame under his neck, you may as well slide your arm along your chest until you get in the position I explained first; ready to shoot an untelegraphed underhook. So the question is, once he corrodes your bottom side mount defense to this vulnerable position, what do you do? Do you attempt this escape, (which Saulo Ribeiro teaches verbatim in University of Jiu Jitsu) or do you try to improve your defensive positioning and framing?
I couldn't disagree more. Saulo teahes this escape as the wrestler escape but he always puts conditional statements with it (i.e this would be your primary side mount defense this would be secondary but let's say he traps the arm and hand with his head and keeps it tight to his shoulder; then use the wrestlers escape) he doesn't show it as a go to move... Henry Akins does show this as a go to because he simply talks about different hand positions and doesn't mention fighting for optimal defensive positions
Hmmm. I wonder now if Akins actually does teach this as a primary escape. Putting your arm in danger to open up an escape is obviously risky. He is a Rickson black belt, I don't think Rickson would advocate that. I always see Rickson shrimp and grab the pants leg to recover guard. Oh, and when I said the underhook is optimal, I meant that it is optimal if escaping with our far arm hidden is not an option. In my mind, shooting the underhook is begging to have omoplata or Marcelo's pressing armlock applied. And I was saying exactly what you said in regards to Saulo. I think you misunderstood. Good luck on the mats!
Anthony Maloney I only posted the comment so new comers to BJJ don't assume this is a primary move. Because for me, Akins didn't explain that in this video clip. Agreed on the underhook comment. Same to you!
imagine if those individuals who walked in were multiple attackers? What would BJJ do on the ground with multiple attackers? I Do feel sorry for BJJ individuals after years of study to realise this is only partly effective in REAL world street fights.
Cross-train in striking preferably boxing 1st otherwise then muay thai. I do that. Boxing helped me against 2-3attackers but Bjj trumps 1 on 1, and with strict country law here we have to be careful wit striking
This is pure gold. His coverage of every small detail makes this man a marvelous teacher.
He's probably the best guy under rickson that I've seen explain techniques solid fundamentals.
My white belt mind has just been blown, lol
We literally drilled this last night. Then my coach rolled with me and prevented me from doing it.
me everytime lol
Excellent instructional video. very simple & easy to understand. Thank you!
really cool teacher. chilled out but really captivating
Man, can you make it anymore clear than that?! I can't wait to try it!!
I'm gonna teach this today. Thanks Henry!
Awsome teacher
Wow, I didnt know Gary Busey trained bjj😂😂
It's a good technique, Damian Maia teaches almost the exact same escape, but I've found that it leaves the arm too exposed for arm locks. Most guys at our school will immediately attack the arm if it's on the outside.
I have a good trick to protect me from arm bar even with my arm outside.
There’s a really easy way to defend that. Henry would be good at showing it.
Can't wait to try this!
Really nice instruction, thank you.
cool esapes are sooo important!! very good, i will try it sunday if god will let me;) keep it full!!
Thank you sir!

+prodigypenn lol... mine too. he's a snapper.
+prodigypenn Snapping their students fingers?
yes . . . he was constantly breaking peoples fingers during training . . .
+prodigypenn That sucks, here Humaita guys were know it all kind of guys, bashing non Gracie academies and Judo dojos ...
I dont know about the newer generation guys, but the old school guys definitely had some of that going on, especially if they trained at the Academia de Gracie in Rio
where are the rest of the escapes?
so easy - thank you !
Thank you sir
I like a similar one except I bridge a bit more and try to put their head on the other side of my body with my extended arm
Where is his red tab?
you have a typo in your title
Excellent!
I feel like you need to block them circling with your right arm otherwise they just circle around you and it’s useless
Has anybody tried this?
What about the other 3 positions where your opponents arms can be???
the other positions are the easiest
I love brasilian jujitsu

Who just sits there while you do all this?
People trying to learn the technique. Dugh
I'm shocked he is showing an escape from side mount with the outside arm over the back and keeping it there!? ... No bueno

Same to you!
He does say in the video this is worst case scenario
Y’all don’t proof read around there ?
the old shrimp and shoot......
In street fight your opponent he try to punch you and to hit you with his elbow😁
that giant hole DOESNT EXIST IN REAL LIFE, GUY

Snapping the fingers are annoying as hell
