your videos are awesome, i teach american kenpo and study kyokushin...you've convinced me to get serious about bjj and jj, thanks stephan...time to find a dojo
Thanks for the tutorial! I watched this months ago, when I started jiu-jitsu, and some how the ninja star escape was the one that became my default escape. I had forgotten what it was called and I've forgotten to use my other hand to grab my hand w/ s-grip so I've been doing it single handed
These are awesome! I had a guy today arm bar me like three times! 😂 I’ve been doing bjj for like 2.5 months, so I’m not very good at all. But, these are great techniques to help me out! Thanks, Stephan!
great stuff as always , i have learn so much from you free that i just got your app lol i felt like it was the right thing to do lol and im so happy i did the apps are cheap and great quality thanks!!!
The lion killer defense has worked best for me but given that I have "trick" shoulders (they dislocate), I'll have to try the ninja star defense more often too. Nice vid as always...
Thanks, great details and some new stuff. Never seen the ninja star defense before, and great details on the mata leon defense. Wish there were some way to keep the dumb comments away.
At 0:07, when Ritchie still has his hips on the ground, and his legs are straight up in a V-shape position, if Stephan saw the armbar coming, would it be possible for him to escape by quickly withdrawing his right arm (twisting his upper body), between Ritchies legs/groin?
wouldnt suggest it, because 1. not everyone is strong enough (either because of physics or attrition from fight) 2. you always only have about 1 second time to choose what to do, because its not a choke but an attempt to break something, which really only takes contracting muscles once the technique is applied. you dont wanna just blindly try to defend by slamming, because you might be too slow or he might not let go 3. usually you have mats and a thick gi, so it wont hurt much to get slammed
7:04 that and it's illegal during grapplling tournaments to hit people in the face in which you'll get points deducted from you or could even get DQed if you hit them in the nose or the eye hard enough.
straightblast100 Things like that are frowned upon in the sport of jiu-jitsu. You are supposed to get out of things by technique, not by inducing pain.
straightblast100 And what you are saying is typically allowed in MMA. And no you don't prefer reality. Would you really want to practice with someone who uses eye-gouging, hair-pulling, stabbing, shooting, etc? Some things you can simply not train for. You can show people how to eye-gouge but it probably will be almost useless in a real fight for a lot of those techniques since you cant do them very well since you cant practice them on anyone and thus don't get better or have any muscle memory. They do talk about the fact that someone can slam you in real-life when they teach full guards in jiu jitsu and many other things. Seems like you have never been to a jiu jitsu class and want to say it is bogus. Come out to any jiu jitsu gym and try whatever you want on them, slamming, hair-pulling etc as long as they agree to it. They might not agree to everything but they might want to take on a challenger.
DeagleBeagle Sorry to break it to you sunshine, but inducing pain IS a technique in itself and is an important part of the martial arts. Also, I practice eye gouging.
Your videos have priceless information! Good show. If only, I don't know, EVERYONE that Rhonda Roussey has fought watched this video, we'd have better entertainment XD
Was wondering for the ninja star defense, with the C grip you had your right hand (the side defending) over on top of your left. Could you have your left hand on top instead with the grip as it would put your right thumb in a quicker position to hit their chest? Or would that be too awkward of a position and make it easier for them to finish the armbar?
I can see how the guy was confused. Since Stephan often caters to the small and nimble ("if you're more flexible than me .."), he might explain the slam to the big strong guys. I'd be genuinely interested, not for bjj or grappling, but just in general. Not sure to what extent these videos are limited to 'just grappling, no mma' techniques though.
When you grab your own bicep, why don't you use your free hand to push his leg off of your face? Seems safer, although I suppose you end up back in guard instead of in a passing position
Lol I like it when the technique require the opponent to "get excited". I get that too. When you wanna try something you always tend to want to keep trying until you fail miserably and the opponent just gets out. Or is it just me
I've invented a arm bar escape that's worked against........ 2......more experienced opponents, and I realize how ridiculous and arrogant It sounds but it's happened twice! anyway I guess the point is , idk if I should focus my mental energy elsewhere or listen carefully? it's a dilemma , if ain't broke don't fix it, but at the same time u can't know too much BJJ, so idk maybe I should go watch a video over and over on some of my weaknesses?
this is a videos about technical things of a martial art, how can i not think that he might be a rookie taking his statement seriously .. just trying to help people out, give me a break
I didn't like the Ninja Star Defense.. It looks really dangarous.. as of, he can get the hand easily.. I think that the best thing to do after linking the hands is either circle around him to a position where my head is where my legs used to be, but I don't touch the ground.. head is where legs used to be, but I'm standing, then it's easier to pull the arm out. and the second way: right after I linked my hands, go for the lion kill.. just put the hands from a linked position to a lion kill position.
Love when he says "I wait I'm patient" such good info here
Nagev Samurai So true. Details like that are key for white belts who wanna sap all their energy when it's not even productive.
This guy is amazing teacher .
By far the best teacher on youtube.
I bought this app 100 years ago, it was totally worth it. I can’t count how many times the hand on bicep saved me from an arm bar. Thanks Stephan!
Thanks for these techniques, Stephan. I've used your triangle defenses pretty effectively. Really like the Lion defense you just showed.
your videos are awesome, i teach american kenpo and study kyokushin...you've convinced me to get serious about bjj and jj, thanks stephan...time to find a dojo
Amazing technique as always! Tap the hip and pass gracefully! :D
Thank you for so unselfishly giving us this great info!!!
I usually watch your tutorials, very detailed and helpful, especially with no gi stuff. I wish there was an armbar escape from mount as well.
this and your kimura defense videos are excellent fundamentals that I'm going to add to my game thanks Stephan you're a great teacher

You're a wonderful teacher, thanks for the video!
This is absolutely paramount to learn.
great video sensei thanks for the class greetings from Bolivia
Fantastic videos just downloaded the APP! Thanks Steven
Best teacher ever!!!
Love your videos, Stephan!!!
Great instructional video's Stephan.
you should make a video with the both of you guys in an actual grappling match
that would be great to look over and see the different techniques
great stuff as always , i have learn so much from you free that i just got your app lol i felt like it was the right thing to do lol and im so happy i did the apps are cheap and great quality thanks!!!
Amazing escape, thanks! 🔥
Excellent advice. Thanks for sharing
it's such a really usefull vid.. thanks very much brother.. good job
Thank you😊
Another great video thanks very clear info
Excellent video!
The lion killer defense has worked best for me but given that I have "trick" shoulders (they dislocate), I'll have to try the ninja star defense more often too. Nice vid as always...
Very good details
great skill
Phenomenal video. Thanks much.
7:13 if you swing the left leg around when he hits your chest is there a potential mir lock?
looking forward to my next sparring session
Thank you for these videos!
I sooo needed this video... thanks!
Thanks, great details and some new stuff. Never seen the ninja star defense before, and great details on the mata leon defense.
Wish there were some way to keep the dumb comments away.
Really useful techniques
Ty
I learned this already except when im stacked on top i shake my wrist free then side mount.
Thanks a million for this!
I did not know you can here someone in bjj. great vid
retitled: how to stop Rhoda Rousey
punch her in the face until she drops?
Stephan this is great
When youre in that armbar position can you just flatten out and pull the armbar?
Thanks sensei, it really helps.
At 6:36 you cleared his leg with very little effort. Why not do this everytime?
lol
great videos professor. Keep 'em coming! :D
At 0:07, when Ritchie still has his hips on the ground, and his legs are straight up in a V-shape position, if Stephan saw the armbar coming, would it be possible for him to escape by quickly withdrawing his right arm (twisting his upper body), between Ritchies legs/groin?
ive yanked my arm out of a few armbars ive predicted so id say yes
Brilliant!
This guy is GOOD
thank you...very effective
hoping I can start my journey in grappling after pandemic
Haha badass I discovered one of these on my own the other day as a way to make my arm more stable and stronger to counter his two to my one
Love that gi
very useful
Does hitting hin in the ches is not a fault in BJJ?
awesome

How to Defend Against the Armbar from Guard
Another Great Informative Vid Thanks for posting !
Stephan,
thanks for the great video, do you have any effective techniques for escaping the scarf position? I am desperate for help :(
wouldnt suggest it, because
1. not everyone is strong enough (either because of physics or attrition from fight)
2. you always only have about 1 second time to choose what to do, because its not a choke but an attempt to break something, which really only takes contracting muscles once the technique is applied. you dont wanna just blindly try to defend by slamming, because you might be too slow or he might not let go
3. usually you have mats and a thick gi, so it wont hurt much to get slammed
Good info
How do I defend the armbar from mount?
7:04 that and it's illegal during grapplling tournaments to hit people in the face in which you'll get points deducted from you or could even get DQed if you hit them in the nose or the eye hard enough.
Also - at 7:11 just keep driving your elbow with all your weight into his stomach/bladder area. He will let go - I promise you.
straightblast100 Things like that are frowned upon in the sport of jiu-jitsu. You are supposed to get out of things by technique, not by inducing pain.
I prefer reality...wherever and whenever I can find it.
peace

Studied JJ for years. Left it for Catch Wrestling and then integrated Kina Mutai. You made a presumption...and then a highly laughable pronouncement.
DeagleBeagle Sorry to break it to you sunshine, but inducing pain IS a technique in itself and is an important part of the martial arts. Also, I practice eye gouging.
the 'wiggle the arm' part might be hard if you are wearing a gi, especially if you're up against someone really strong
Your videos have priceless information! Good show. If only, I don't know, EVERYONE that Rhonda Roussey has fought watched this video, we'd have better entertainment XD
+1

Cheers og
its one of those things where it soetimes works sometimes doesnt its a risk
Great video. You forgot the "pick him up and slam him on his head" defense lol
You're really good at explaining
the "punch" per say is a good move I like it for self defense. But if I use it in the gym wont they get mad about it as it is a strike per say.
How is the move at 00:10 called?
If your talking about the standing armbar, it's as simple as that. Armbar from standing clinch.
Also known as the flying armbar, if I am not mistaken.
I can see how the guy was confused. Since Stephan often caters to the small and nimble ("if you're more flexible than me .."), he might explain the slam to the big strong guys. I'd be genuinely interested, not for bjj or grappling, but just in general. Not sure to what extent these videos are limited to 'just grappling, no mma' techniques though.

Perfect KNOCK KNOCK sfx
Adoraria que os vídeos fossem legendados :/
Good vid

Just remember, you only need get your elbow passed his groin. The couple inches make a huge difference. Obviously not saying it works every time.

and you actually post this on a jiujitsu technique video?... nice.
ya but when you put your head down cant they get a geeateen
sally sord really.. geeateen.. Smdh
Anyone else get the vibe that he yells at Richie after the camera is off?
A better technique which I do is to put my knee on his butt and push off. The leverage allows me to pull my arm out.
Woah, new graphics.
besides the fact he was joking, it's illegal to slam or pike someone in BJJ competitions
Oh cool. So the lion kill is basically like a game of catch, but with the guy's leg.
Ronda
this is a videos about technical things of a martial art, how can i not think that he might be a rookie taking his statement seriously .. just trying to help people out, give me a break

NINJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
4:25 you elbow him in the ball bag at least 3 times
I'm here because of ronda rousey...lol
You're afraid that you might meet her one day so u should learn this just in case.
Divine Young same I seen her fight and learning this shit to prevent armbar
Your the fucken man.
i love jiujitsu thats all i can say
I'm probably gonna forget all this in an actual fight
Lol at 4:52
haha
