Man, I like that very first attack at the beginning of the video. He goes from half guard bottom pushing his top leg into the opponent's armpit and creating kuzushi while looking like he's attacking a kneebar on the far leg. When that fails, he removed his bottom leg from half guard and switched it with what was his top leg and backstepped with his bottom leg to enter into cross ashi. That was beautiful. Also, the Kimura is my favorite upper body sub besides chokes and something I use a lot. I just used it last night to sweep and take the back in training. Subscribed!
So smooth! I am actually thinking of starting a video idea today of comparing why Vinny was able to have success defending Gordon's leg attacks but not Craig's. This entry will be apart of that video for sure!
@@LIMIBJJ that would be sick! I've wondered that myself. Different styles of leg entries? I have noticed that Gordon doesn't do backside 50/50 heel hooks whereas Craig does so maybe that played a part? I have no idea. I'm pretty new to leg locks.
Yeah I think the 5050 entry had a lot to do with it for sure! I want to rewatch them and see what I notice now. Last time I saw the Gordon match I didnt know much! It will probably be out in a week or two so keep an eye out!
I just found this channel and this is basically my entire game!!!!! Going to watch your videos on the leg lock stuff now. This is crazy it is like you created a video of all the things I think in my head.
Haha amazing! Its a big part of my game as well! Glad you found it helpful! Sounds like we have similar styles so let me know if there are any videos you would like to see in the future
Definitely adding this to my game. I have used it as a way to get arm bars, but seeing this in different aspects from top, bottom and stand up is mind blowing from a newer grapplers mindset.
great video, I am working on this exactly where you sneak your foot in from bottom half with the kimura and they roll into an armbar, works like a charm
Yeah you have commented a few times before. Thank you for the support. Even Jordan has commented now and is sharing the channel on the page. The support from your school is amazing 🙏🏼 I am kinda in limbo right now. My fiancé and I just moved to Hawaii and there isn’t a legit school here but we are working on it! However I would say that I train out of The Cave Academy in Pacifica, CA. It’s in the Bay Area.
Another great video. A small recommendation for the channel would maybe to group videos by subject in different playlists. Makes it easier to focus on a single topic and I can watch them consecutively because sometimes autoplay switches to another channel
@@LIMIBJJ awesome! I used the stuff from the kipping escape video and it's made it much easier to pull off and I also understand why it's not working when it doesn't. Before I thought it was just the weight of the other person
@@LIMIBJJ 100%. I really like your content for that reason. I mostly get "oh sometimes that doesn't work so here's another option" which is okay but I'd like to know why so I don't try something that also probably won't work lmao
Random thought but have you ever considered a video on escaping side control? I’ve watched a fair amount of instructionals on the topic but still struggle
Hey I'm a karate striker with good boxing. I've had amateur kickboxing fights but I'm transitioning to MMA now. You are extremely knowledgeable on BJJ so here's my question, what's the best guard for me to practice for MMA? I know I'm gonna run into guys that wanna take me down after taking a kick from me and I can't sprawl and brawl on all of them so I wanna know what guard I should focus on more than anything for MMA. Thanks in advance if you see this comment
Hi Mark! Right on seems like an exciting transition. I made a video about this here ruclips.net/video/aghnJOwld9g/видео.html but maybe go through the comments as well because the people in the community know their stuff. It seems like your goal is going to be to get back to your feet so I would say half guard would be a good option. Or anything where your feet are on the inside will make it easier to stand up
Video idea: hierarchy of leg lock position. For example, I dont think anyone would argue outside sankaku is a more dominant position than standard ashi. But what about outside sankaku vs inside sankaku? Is one more dominant or is it preference based? How do we compare that to something like 50/50 where its really more about who knows the position better? How do we see backside 50/50 compared to something like a double outside ashi while holding the heel? Concepts of which hip you want to trap by gravity? Something down that route could be a cool video
Hey brother not sure if I missed it but when you say to have our Palm up and not Palm down. Why is it that we are inviting a kimura if we are Palm down? This sounds like a very small detail that is going to make a huge difference. If you have a chance can you let me know please thank you
You are exactly right! It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference so let me see if I can explain it well here: It you hold your hand out in front of you and draw a line from your fingers to your shoulder, your opponent would like your elbow on the outside of that line for them to enter into Kimura. If your elbow is on the inside of that line you are relatively safe. Now holding your hand out in front of you see how your elbow changes position as you turn your palm up vs down. If your palm is down it is very hard to bring your elbow inside that line where as when your palm is up it naturally goes there Hope that makes sense!
@@LIMIBJJ hmmm i think i see what youre saying. It opens up the elbow when youre palm down. It leaves space to hook the kimura. As opposed to palm up my elbow goes inward closing that little hoop to get a kimura in. Is that what you mean right there? FYI im dyslexic brother so im a tad slower than most.
@@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ yeah exactly! No worries my man I didn’t go into detail in the video and it’s a concept often overlooked by a lot of people. I will go into more detail in the future!
@@LIMIBJJ awesome man. Im always telling my students if they're "bored" with a certain technique that they already "know" to look for tiny little details they may have missed on it or Just something they've never thought about. Like me in this instance...15 years later i had never seen this detail or thought about it. Very stuff man. Im already hooked watching some other of your videos as we speak... What part of the world are you in and what is your rank?
@@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ awesome man happy to hear you are finding the videos helpful. What do you teach/where do you teach? I am currently in Hawaii but all of my Jiujitsu training was in California. I am a purple belt
Gordon’s are great but honestly I think Danaher’s are the gold standard. I think the progression would be to watch Danaher’s back video then Gordon’s back video. There will be overlap but I think danaher does a great job of explaining the big picture while Gordon is really good at diving deep into the position. Hope that makes sense
@@LIMIBJJ Thanks for the recommendation! Do you think the leg lock system DVD is still worth watching, or shall I go straight to his new wave jiu jitsu DVDs?
@@freman75 I personally think the old leg lock DVD from Danaher is amazing and I think the new wave one will make a lot more sense if you start with the old one. The new wave is basically counters to the old stuff. So one approach would be to just learn the latest and greatest right away but I personally think the old video does such a good job of explaining the goals and objectives from each position that the new wave stuff will make more sense once you see it
I dont think leaving palm up does anything with kimura as long as you have opponents elbow and wrist the hand position is not important, do not let opponents have wrist control and always stay inside.
Eh. Could have been better explained in my opinion. I would have enjoyed like someone actually showing me all these positions in real time. Not just video clips
Sorry to hear that. So you are saying you would enjoy more of a traditional approach of someone demonstrating the techniques? Or would you like to see the demonstration alongside the video clips?
@@LIMIBJJ I do like the clips so probably along side or in between. Maybe break it up to where it is designated sections that you go over because it felt a little all over the place to me and I felt like the leg lock entry wasn’t even really talked about much.
I hear ya. We have talked about the leg lock entries in the past so this video was focusing more on the kimura entry but I get what your saying. Trying to find that balance of making videos under 10 minutes while still being thorough. Thanks for your feedback

Seeing that kimura to inversion to armbar was jaw dropping amazing. Thank you for including this.
I am currently working through Danahers guard passing, halfguard is next in line!
Congrats on the huge spike in views lately, well deserved 🥳
Thank man you were a big part of it! All his instructionals are amazing!
I just finished his Guard passing. half guard, and half butterfly aren't until the last section but don't skip because their is SO much good stuff!!
@@michaelthe13th gotta go through it all for the pieces to connect!
