Henrys Jiu Jitsu is amazing, it’s on another level. I’ve taken 7-8 private lessons with Henry and all I can say is he will Blow Yer Mind. Ps I’ve felt Henrys side control pressure and it is Absolute Death. Great Course
Im 56 and only just started jujitsu. Im a sponge of information at the minute and cant learn quick enough. Content like this isnt too technical to learn but brilliant effectiveness.thanks
The details at 2:31 and “popping the elbow at 1:58 are crucial. Otherwise they just frame and have a super easy escape where they can reverse the position…. Don’t ask how i found that out…
Henry goes into a lot of detail of his experience on the Cleared Hot podcast from 2 years ago. Recently revisited that and it's amazing. Great instructor with so much knowledge!
Kazure is a magical position if you know how to use it. Henry certainly does. If you've never played with kazure kesa gatame, this is a great place to start.
I never was told about breathing muscles being or getting tired, i know obviously that you want to tire them out by putting your weight on them but never thought about tiring them by putting my weight on them and making them breath with my weight on them, i guess i was doing it sort of but not knowing. hmmm very interesting.
I'm a 4 month white belt. If someone gets that backside underhook on me I love going into kesa gatame. There are so many subs from it if you drill them, they are all based off the different escapes they attempt. A lot of the bjj schools don't drill these positions often cause you don't get points for them in competition. But it's kind of a double edged sword, if they don't get in them as often, they also don't know how to defend them as well. I've tapped some colored belts with kesa gatame. The same guys can give me mount or their back and they are so much better at defending than I am at attacking that I can't finish them in those positions. I really love these low energy high pressure possitions.
I'm just starting at 35 as a white belt, recently found kesa gatame, but hadnt tried this, lot less risky getting into this position I think. Same basic principle on weight tho. I really like the submission options from both too. I save energy and let these 20 year olds tire themselves out with my 190 lbs on them. Definitely not going to be making friends with this though.
Any solution for closing the deal on the paper cutter when your opp turns his head AWAY from you? I know you can do the whole “grind the face back toward you with the back of your elbow” move but then you are back to square 1. Not sure that makes sense but see initial question 😂 Osss!
Regarding the defence, only arm reactions are addressed here. **What about basic bridging and rolling, or trapping the backleg, or just sitting up?** Akins' leg position in kesa really looks poor in addressing judo escapes 101.
Bernardo xould yell less and Henry take more easy. Everybody know that the positions works and also that Bernardo can submit Akins 3 times in 10 minutes if he wants.
I laughed out loud when Bernardo said after Henry relieved some pressure ‘thanks so much Henry I appreciate it’ . Yes, I’m older and I love this position.
I tried this today in sparring with two different partners. Both struggled under the pressure even though I missed some important details from the video. Still got the americana on one of them. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I am new to Jiu Jitsu and after couple of months tried to emulate many teaching methods and Henry's was the one that is easy to understand and works really well. I am amazed how effective it is. Side control was the most successful move that I have learnt from Henry and it is becoming my signature move 🙂
Just curious because I honestly don’t know, what distinguishes a technique as wrestling, sambo, catch as catch can, judo, shooto or jiu-jitsu? All these grappling arts seem to share similar techniques, positions and submissions.
Let's go ahead and admit that judo was developed as a safer way to practice jujitsu. Kano was genius in his ideas about training and technique, but competition rules are what truly distinguish the grappling arts from one another. Judo pinning as a path to victory is an example of how it differs from BJJ. Pure is hardly a word that describes techniques used in more than one art.
Honestly, I use to teach this to my white belts in judo as this was a yellow belt hold. Its the little details that counts. Henry's ability to teach is at the highest level.
Thank you Henry, I’ve been practicing this on our open mat rolls and it’s worked like a charm. The amount of times I’ve submitted people from this position using your different choices of submissions..👍👊🏾
Henry’s details add so much pressure from the side control. The way he pushes and pulls with his feet is fantastic! Biggest thing for me is keeping my weight to the same side of my legs just across his pec so I don’t get rolled.
Gut your oppents body into four quarters when you are in this position you wanna apply pressure to the top two quarters mainly the quarter closest to you it's called 3 point pressure used alot in judo I just recently started teaching judo at a bjj academy and they all talk about my pressure it's something taught in judo learned it back in the late 1980s
I have bought a lot of courses from Henry on his personal website and other instructors here on bjj Fanatics and I have to say that he like so many instructors need to have follow up instructionals or a question and answer session because their first instructional leaves so many unanswered questions to make the first instructional practically useless. For example, there are guard retention instructionals by big name instructors where they will show you all their so called amazing techniques but when you go on the mat you get passed and smashed because these instructors leave a lot of details out and they don’t show what to do about the what if’s that will arise.
I love this, thank you I am always getting to kesa with the "telephone position" but then I go to side control, never knew there were so many options from them, thx.
2-stripe white belt here. I got 2 taps this morning on different guys with this side control. Once with the choke on a 1-stripe white belt heavy weight and once with the Americana on a 3-stripe white belt light weight. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Poor Bernardo 😂 thank you for taking one for the team hahaha
That’s exactly what I was thinking!! Lololol
Henry is just going crash test dummy on him. What a DUDE!!! Respect!!!
Seriously. There should be a go fund me for Bernardo's joints.
Henrys Jiu Jitsu is amazing, it’s on another level. I’ve taken 7-8 private lessons with Henry and all I can say is he will Blow Yer Mind. Ps I’ve felt Henrys side control pressure and it is Absolute Death. Great Course
Carl Canefield is a legend!
@@HenryAkinsBJJ awesome stuff Henry!! Glad you’re doing well brotha 🙏🏽
Bernardo…you’re a champ. Just taking the abuse the whole time for our benefit.
I want a reverse roles series of episodes, of Bernardo showing techniques to famous black belts.
His over under passing videos are good
Thank you so much!!! 4 months in and never landed a submission... tonight I landed 3... 2 were with this
Bernardo is so unintentionally funny, freaking love this guy hahahah
Im 56 and only just started jujitsu. Im a sponge of information at the minute and cant learn quick enough. Content like this isnt too technical to learn but brilliant effectiveness.thanks
😂 I’m 44 w/ADHD 😂😂😂
Henry, you are my new favorite BJJ teacher. You do an outstanding job explaining moves that actually work.
I have all his instructionals really great teacher so much details
Thanks Charles I’m glad my videos have been so helpful for you!
I am a Judo guy , and this is pure gold , i already pinned/tapped bjj guys with traditonal kesa gatame , but this is just unffair.
Wow, thank you SOOOOO much. Best side control attack I've ever seen. Im only fairly new to Jiu jitsu but logic suggests this IS the best there is.
The details at 2:31 and “popping the elbow at 1:58 are crucial. Otherwise they just frame and have a super easy escape where they can reverse the position…. Don’t ask how i found that out…
Sensei Bernardo great content. Still waiting for the day you get Sensei Rickson as a guest.
Huge fan. Henry changed my game .
Henry goes into a lot of detail of his experience on the Cleared Hot podcast from 2 years ago. Recently revisited that and it's amazing. Great instructor with so much knowledge!
That was a really fun podcast with Andy, thanks for listening
Truly unbelievable. Awesome
notes to self:
5:49 americana here
11:06 take mount. needs good tricep control
The comedy of Bernardo alone is worth watching this video. The technique lesson is pretty good too 😂
My favourite part of this video are Bernardo's sound effects. Thanks Bernardo !!
The 6:21 YESS from Bernardo is absolutley hilarious! It’s a ”get me the hell out of here-yes”..😄
RIP Bernardo
5:26 is so funny. Basically me every class when I didn't see a move coming.
When he said thank you so much Henry I laughed poor Bernardo
Duuude! Another incredible lesson, but also the Rickson story, awesome!
Somebody did a version of this to me yesterday. I could not believe how painful it was. I started laughing and tapped, lol.
I’ve been doing the underhook trick for a long time but this was helpful in some new ways to attack
All the style points!!! New thing to shoot for if I get that underhook... going to be so fun!
That's it. I'm buying the dvd.
Kazure is a magical position if you know how to use it. Henry certainly does. If you've never played with kazure kesa gatame, this is a great place to start.
Thank you so much for this game-changing instructional video / comedy sketch.
u took my breath away...........
Great video!
I laughed at the sounds Bernardo was making, thank you bro you really took one for the team.
Sensei Henry Akins
Hidden Jiu Jitsu🙏
Kazure Kesa Gatame 🔥
All hail KING HENRY!!!!!!!
Good stuff, thanks
Thx you so much gents. This is beautiful and gels with me . I have subscribed to both of you guys. I love your pressure games. Magical
Def buying his instructional!
superb detail
Grande Bernardo sofreu! Imagino a pressão! Obrigado
I’m doing this. Amazing
God bless u Bernardo
Henry's gi is top notch, like the plain style
11:56 darce available, Shotgun Armbars, and triangle.
Great details
Huge HONOR and PAIN :)
Excelent video!!!..what is an adcuate way by defend or escape that so uncomfortable position (side control with both underhook)
Fine top work!
Henry is the man...would love to know what kind of guard you play though. I think everything on bjjfanatics is escape or top-based
Think you coach
6:09 - 😖 poor Bernardo. Thats a Man in pain... sort of like me at a chiro clinic, first assessment appointment after a competition. 🤭
Beautiful
Bernardo, when will you have Rickson on the channel?
The detail at 5:05 is really cool. Would this work if trying to finish the Ezekiel??
Omg side control insanity, as a white belt this is mind blowing.
Are we gonna talk about Henry snapping with his ring finger???
Bernardo out here sacrificing his body for our education.
I never was told about breathing muscles being or getting tired, i know obviously that you want to tire them out by putting your weight on them but never thought about tiring them by putting my weight on them and making them breath with my weight on them, i guess i was doing it sort of but not knowing. hmmm very interesting.
Brilliant!
Never seen bernardo more uncomfortablr than in this vid. Thanks for surviving this haha
Seems like kesa gatame (a very effective pin in judo) isn’t utilized near as much in BJJ.
you have to open up to submit from there, and if you lose the position it can result in a back take
I'm a 4 month white belt. If someone gets that backside underhook on me I love going into kesa gatame. There are so many subs from it if you drill them, they are all based off the different escapes they attempt. A lot of the bjj schools don't drill these positions often cause you don't get points for them in competition.

Is the paper cutter at 5:10 a blood choke or just painful?
Poor Bernardo!

How do you escape this?

Akins' leg position in kesa really looks poor in addressing judo escapes 101.
Bernardo made some unusual sounds lol
"It's horrible!" 🤣
Hey Bernardo? Think you can hang out here for three minutes?🤣
if it's so good then how come we don't see it in mma?
Ahhh...owww...weei...arerg ...ahhhrgh
The most pain I have ever heard you in lol
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Bernardo sofrendo por nós
So is there or isn’t there a defense to cross side? 😳🤣

poor Bernardo he was in pain for 80% of the whole video😅😅🤣🤣
Bernardo, your channel is some of the best teaching out there. It is an incredible supplement to time on the mat. 🙏
I honestly try not to watch instructionals but I just eat up Henry’s teachings. Thank you Henry and Bernardo!
6:45 had me in pain😅
Thank you to both of you...Poor Bernardo (the sounds he is making are simply hilarious)
Kuzure-kesa-gatame is pure JUDO

fun fact kuzure kesa gatame actually translates to "super chill position" in English you cant tell me otherwise now.

I love how everyone is now teaching kuzura kesa gatame this is a pin in judo but I love the extra little details Henery puts into this great job

"THANKS Henry so much I appreciate it!" almost gave me a stroke from laughter.
The closed captioning reads him as Harry Aching.
That was awesome Henry. Thank you! Poor Bernardo. Way to take some punishment for the cause!
Its enjoyable to watch because we all know how much it sucks being stuck in side control..
