    I love how Emily breaks down the moves so well. She's very eloquent and so is Stephan as well.

  • @jmalsam
    @jmalsam 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    FWIW, I really love the extra explanation. So many times you see a technique demonstrated, and they'll say "grip here and here", "bend your knee", or whatever but never tell you why. I learn a lot more when I know the WHY and not just the WHAT. But hey, different strokes... whatever works for you.

    This young lady is very knowledgeable and she explains a number of crucial pieces of information that allows a smaller person like me to use the seated guard vs a bigger stronger guy...and bigger guys need to know this so they can thwart the game of smaller guys.You did an excellent job young lady; you're very knowledgeable and talented.

    @vintage1982 Hmmm, let's see. Do you think Marcelo Garcia (5 x World Champion, 4 x ADCC champion) is slow? I don't think so, and he uses the Seated Guard almost exclusively - in fact, that's who Emily learned the finer details of that position from

  • @theflamingone8729
    @theflamingone8729 ปีที่แล้ว

    After Emily was demonstrating how posture was so important to prevent being pushed over, she so effortlessly allowed Stephan to demonstrate what he would be trying to do without trying to block him. She's a very good uke.
    They make a very good teaching team.

    I love seeing stuff like this. Great explanation by the instructors. This is a very old technique used in various Korean martial arts via the seated position (Wah Ki). It seems a lot of old techniques that people have disregarded are being rediscovered. Even though I learned it as a static technique it's great to see the dynamics the instructors employ with it.

  • @georgemorales6070

    Love the detail explanation. I wish all jujitsu instructors would explain those small yet important details, instead of just throwing you in the grind and hopefully find out on your own.

    • @theflamingone8729
      @theflamingone8729 ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of that comes from doing things so often they are second nature and not such a deliberate act, especially if it was learnt in the grind as you put it. So not so much neglected, as overlooked.

  • @139Phoenix
    @139Phoenix 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I actually think the inital commentary is very good. For all those haters just remember that this is a small section of an attack pattern and what Emily and Stephan are trying to do is actually explain the theory behind the seated guard rather than just blasting out techniques. The concept is actually the light bulb moment rather than the sweep itself. Stop hating and think in context!

  • @guitarhack42

  • @LionPrideBJJ
    @LionPrideBJJ 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @vintage1982 If you've never had anyone back away to reset from your sitting guard...maybe your sitting guard isn't as dangerous as it should be? Search "Marcelo Garcia" on youtube, you'll see him aggressively scooting after opponents and hitting this backtrip sweep in SO many matches...vs Kron Gracie, Ricco Rodriguez, etc. He combines this with ankle picks and single legs really smoothly, he used this in nearly every match in ADCC 2009 if I recall correctly.

  • @randystevens6302
    @randystevens6302 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    From a purely sport perspective this is useful however from a self defense perspective you had better have Blue Cross if you are going to try this stuff against someone who really wants to hurt you.

    • @elephantmarch
      @elephantmarch 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Guys always say that while watching these videos: if it feels their doing these moves in an unrealistically slow fashion it's so that you can register the instructions. Obviously you'd need to practice it over and over until you can do it instinctively.
      And if you're a small as her and someone really wants to hurt you: it's this or BE hurt, so pulling this off will be the only alternative TO Blue Cross: OR allowing yourself to be raped. Obviously running is the better option.
      Guys like you always try to shout futility in any endeavors for a lady to be able to defend herself against a man: your average rapist/bully is not a trained warrior any won't have any fighting knowledge beyond beating up someone smaller or equal to them. That is when technique CAN save you.

    • @nonyabizness2550
      @nonyabizness2550 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The automatic value to this position for self defense is it's very easy to stand up from there, hell she even explains that. Its true in a real fight you won't butt scoot a lot but you transition to it from half- guard or closed guard usually. Cub Swanson uses it to stand up a lot in MMA. Its the ideal guard for MMA in my opinion....most apt to lead to you standing up. If opponent pressures...butterfly sweep. If opponent stands...inside reap to heel hook. Watch Demian Maia vs Ryan Stout.

    I have this series and think it is great. I would prefer if there are more high quality instructionals from grapplearts, that there are no more mirrors on the walls. I did find them distracting at times, and find it odd, why in a grappling dojo to have them on the wall where the matts are. If people started out standing and could stumble right by them.

    I found that nobody ever backed away from my guard until I got good enough with sweeps that they felt threatened. Once they felt threatened while in my guard, but found it difficult to come through it, THEN they started backing away to work things like toreando passes.

  • @Grinder116
    @Grinder116 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The position you describe should not arise - if your hands are behind your back your legs should not be extended - you only extend them once your hands are in front of your hip.
    Then if he tries to step in and sit down you get into either a seated or butterfly guard.
    So avoid stretching your legs out unless you can scoot immediatly!!

  • @TempestTenor
    @TempestTenor 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you're doing the butt scoot, there will be a brief moment where your arms are extended behind you with your fists to the ground and your legs are extended in preparation for your next scoot. This seems like the perfect moment for your opponent to simply step in and sit down into the mount. Besides having better awareness, is there something in particular you can do to prevent this?

That's my entire point and you need distance management for punch protection meaning the opposition needs to be grabbed closer to you so punches and elbows won't knock you out. The only thing I would suggest is Gracie combative. Despite what you may hear try and out for your self. I'm currently doing it and I can answer any questions you may have.
