Likewise 😊 In general I like to "win from bad positions". Gambits 😊 When grappling a physically much stronger opponent, offering a gambit is the easiest way to make him commit to a position compared to always maintaining distance. I hope I explained it right 😊
@@WimDeputterBJJ This makes sense. One way I think of is: It's easier to get a bigger stronger opponent to move into a position of [what they perceive as] dominance but which is actually a a position of disadvantage than it is to threaten to place them into a position of disadvantage in order to drive them into yet further positions of [actual] disadvantage for them. I.e. it is a tactical error on their part to move into the position of perceived dominance because what you present distorts their perception due to a situation of imperfect information. They don't know they won't win, so they either lose outright or expend energy, dissipating some of their physical advantage in the process.
I use this concept all the time, esp since the first time I saw Vinny use it in the match you referenced. I did take it to the extreme in a comp though, while I escaped the arm bar, I definitely strained my ligaments with all the quick rotations and fighting against my opponent trying to force my arm straight.
On training with your trainingpartners is the safe and easy part. On competition it is indeed more risky. The odds have to be high enough while the stars have to align a bit 😊
@@WimDeputterBJJ sir, it will be good if attacks from closed gurads such as kneepull posture break, arm bar, triangle, kimura, omoplata are exhibited by you. These attacks often come in a chain, and hence there is requirement of systematic defense. Thank you for replying.
@@WimDeputterBJJ The slate of closed guad attacks Urjesh mentioned above with the "buffet" of attacks listed sounds like a natural case study for your BJJ laboratory, Wim. Shoulder and elbow articulation, and how they need to change to adapt to their positions relative to opponents hip line or center line, for example, comes to mind. The omoplata seems ripe with tons of possibilites. Dang, I'd be a lab partner if geography permitted.
is there a certain tipping point to the babybridge counter/defense and the armbar attack? in your endgame instructional on the spider web armbar you suggest going to either heaven or hell side. what is preventing the babybridge counter defense to the armbar? lol. babybridge and shoulder escapes are such a powerful movement pattern and it is difficult to really counter. the normal pins and crossfaces etc do not work well against the babybridge and shoulder escape
When I made the instructional, I had less information. Today I know better. You just asked an excellent question and you made me realise the information in the instructional is not up to date anymore cause now I attack different. The instructional still works for the most part, as most people don't use the shoulderescapes yet. In any case, to stop the babybridge, you need to sit up with a straight back and pull the arm you attack up to the ceiling. Than, don't pull down, but lift your hip (upright babybridge to attack the elbow). When the opponent switches rotation, you counterrotate. Rotate first and the opponent will escape.
Another great one Wim!
Thanks Nigel 😊
Interested in this one. Perhaps against my better judgement, one of my favourite tricks is to escape armbars haha

Great tips, thx Wim.
I'd like to see Andrea's breakdance skills on the next video :))
Hey Erdem 😊 Thanks!
I'll ask him 😄

@@WimDeputterBJJ indeed. Our team won because I escaped (it was a quintet-style comp) but I’m still paying the price with rehab lol.
@@danielsiriphongs hope your arm is better and healed
Congrats on the win!
Wim is the best!
😊❤
Awesome video once again Wim! Hope to soon be able to train this
Likewise 😊 lockdown s***s!!!
Sir, kindly make videos of other escapes also. Good escape videos are pretty scanty in TH-cam.
Thank you for educating us.
Thank you for the suggesting Urjesh! Will do :)
Any specific positions or submissions you have in mind?

@@urjeshutthasani3714 I will! Thank you for the suggestions Urjesh, I appreciate it.
No need to call me sir, Wim is fine :)

More science. One doesn't need to wonder when the title of "professor" might be appropriate, lololol.
Nooooo... just Wim please 😊
