Kenny has such a critical eye when it comes to combatives. A few elbows suddenly expose critical holes in the sportive BJJ system. They def don't like those straight shots coming up the middle either. Very astute.
Subscribed. 💪 Been doing Muay Thai for about 15 years and 2 years of BJJ. Now I try to combine both. Thanks for the input. Really appreciate it. Keep up the good work. 🤩
This is great content man. Thanks for the videos. Btw, my favorite fight of yours was against Takanori Gomi. Those power jabs in that fight were amazing.
Great technique and great channel Kenny Florian, I saw every of your fights when you are active fighter, and your elbows and ground and pound tecnique was great, thanks for the channel.
This is the content that many people want to see. When I was training BJJ one of the things I noticed is that from a strictly BJJ standpoint (sports BJJ) some techniques are not as efficient in MMA or in a real world scenario. For example, when I was training at Extreme Couture I witnessed some BJJ guys once strikes were introduced their BJJ technique went out the window. Therefore there seems to be a dearth of BJJ for MMA (BJJ techniques mixed with strikes) that can help people evolve their BJJ game. This is why this video is so informative. People do not need to become the best strikers in the world, they just need to have an understanding of how and where strikes could come from and how to adapt efficiently using their BJJ techniques.
Hey buddy I'm watching you on 2019 BattleBots On Demand right now buddy they're really good human being. I'm a new fan my watch all your fights right now. Big Homie🍻 Shout out from Medford Oregon🌲
Mr Florian, given you are also efficient and versed in judo and wrestling, why not do a video of your favorite takedowns gi and no gi? Thank you in advance if you happen to see this, im a huge fan!
No. Do you mean there’s a threat since I’m throwing across oppt’s body to the floor? The actual elbows would be thrown at the face. I’m just throwing them to the floor to demonstrate the action.
3:23 I mean this moment. He can actually put foot on your hip and try to working on the triangle. Ofc its not easy because action there is very Quick but still I see the opening.
@@sionsionsionify while the angle of the camera might make it look like there is an opening, there is none due to the proximity of my head in relation to my opponent's head and upper chest. Have a listen to it again and play with it. All the best and thanks for your question.
Not how it is traditionally executed, I don’t believe so. Leaving your opponent with a free hand to hit you and staying in front of him isn’t advisable. I’d try to approach things from a defensive perspective first. Can he hurt me from here? Where am I safe etc...Then, I try to approach what my offensive options are. Your offense doesn’t really matter if you’re susceptible. In MMA/fight, the stakes are higher than in grappling.
@@KennyFlorian Agreed. It would need to be a part of a comprehensive gripping strategy for MMA. MG use it to toggle the oppenent in all directions but mostly forward and to the side forcing the arm across their center line. From the close guard I think this forcing of the arm could lead to flower sleep situations or transitions to the butterfly guard head clamp sweep (a la Gordon Ryan v Buchecha or MG v Everyone). From the open guard it seems to me that controling the ground and pounder's strong hand, forcing it across their center line and threatening their base would stifle the ground and pounder by forcing them to defend or adjust base more. In the Chandler/Oliveira fight this weekend, Chandler was pretty confortable in Oliveira's guard able to punch or elbow past Oliveira's 1 on 1 grips... I appreciate your insights into this.
Hello Kenny, on my TH-cam channel I talk about Autism. I advocate for Autism Awareness and am diagnosed. MMA has really helped me out a lot in my life. I also have interviewed actors from Karate Kid, Cobra Kai, Final Destination, etc. I would love to interview you about your career. I been a huge fan of yours for as long as I could remember. Please let me know what we can work out. Happy New Year.
Man this such a underrated jiu Jitsu channel

When BJJ loses its ability to be effective as a self-defense art, all is lost. Thank you for your comment and for checking out the channel. 🙏👊
Yes
I’m a noob still in mma but I’m watching all of these videos I was playing ufc last night then I found you so I’m happy 😃
Kenny you're awesome man. Came straight here to subscribe after your Believe You Me appearance. Keep plugging your channel!
Thank you!

Subscribed. Love the content and production value. Fight breakdowns/reactions would be awesome too. Thanks, Kenny!
Appreciate the feedback man, definitely going to be adding some new aspects to this channel this year. 👊
Awesome, thank you sir!
Will there be a video on the overhook? I've been enjoying the videos that have been getting put out so far. The production quality is just great
Overhook...from what position/s?
3:30 is were it's at, but jitsu counters, like arm triangle. Bam and done. Especially if all the weight is put into that elbo as demonstranted.
Awesome content and great production value!
Mate, awesome stuff, really enjoying the channel. Looking forward to more of the same.
Mr Florian, given you are also efficient and versed in judo and wrestling, why not do a video of your favorite takedowns gi and no gi? Thank you in advance if you happen to see this, im a huge fan!
Was rooting for Kenny Florian when he fought BJ Penn😁
Good stuff. Dont you afraid to triangle with using this elbow?

Do you think the 2 on 1 (Marcelo Garcia or Gary Tonon style) can be used to stifle the ground and pound?
Not how it is traditionally executed, I don’t believe so. Leaving your opponent with a free hand to hit you and staying in front of him isn’t advisable.

I guess the next vid is gonna be what to do from the bottom position
I will definitely be posting a video on how to defend against punches from guard. 👍
Been using these tips a lot in class but ran into some trouble when my yoga confronted me about it
But Mister Florain! What About Up Kicks?

If you are standing in the street and your opponent had feet on hips....punt him in the groin.
