Alot of times Henry doesn't get all the credit he deserves - His contribution to Jiujitsu is often times overshadowed by Rickson - I've heard from English-speaking people how Rickson had a "poor" way of transferring knowledge due to the language barrier. Henry learned Rickson's system and connected the dots, bringing it out to the English speaking world in a very comprehensive manner. The English speaking world has started to understand and appreciate the enigma of Rickson's Invisible Jiujitsu largely due to Henry's contribution. Oss
Completely agree. I was a part of Rickson's online for a month and didnt get much out of his instructions. I have been part of Henry Akin's online for about 5 years now. I learn more and more little details every time.
It's not just with English speakers, Rickson simply didn't care if the student got all the details on his own. There's a clip of Renzo talking about the past, how in the 2000s he figured out this small detail to a move that made it so much more effective.
When he showed it to Rickson, Rickson replied to the effect of "Ah, so you finally figured it out, took you long enough"
Kind of illustrates his mindset.
I remember attending roger s seminar and we are similar in stature and size. He showed the same techniques ( hidden details) but from the mount and everyone in the class seemed bored. I had the pleasure of working one on one with him.........will NEVER forget that amount of pressure .....and relaxed!!!!. As a blackbelt, he told me, just like henry mentiones, you have to revisit the whitebelt techniques and continue continue continue to perfect them. Roger said, he s been drilling the same whitebelt techniques for 12 years.
That is why Roger is so much better than others.
Damnnn. Dude this is great! I’m 120 pound white belt and I used this technique against a solid purple belt.
Thanks!!
For those who might find it useful, I've taken notes. I know it assists me when learning. Feel free to correct/recommend additions.
Elbow placement starting
- Once you’re mounted, if your plan is to upa escape, have your elbows on the ground against your opponent’s kneesas it prevents your opponent from walking their knees up
Feet placement
- Have your feet as close to your butt as possible as this will help create power in your bridge
-Have on foot blocking their upa side foot and have the other foot centre as this will allow you to block their foot from moving whilst allowing you to drive up (i picked this up from a separate video, seemed to be good, applicable advice)
Grips
- Grip one of your opponent’s wrists as well as the same side elbow. By gripping behind their elbow this prevents them from breaking your grip by pulling away
Bridging
- Bring ear to your opposite shoulder and look in the direction you want to upa (think 12-1/12-11)
- Then drive with your feet, rolling them and completing the escape (i suspect the real driving force will be the centre foot, please comment if you care to)
Nice write up on the details. Note where he talks about driving the hips through. As soon as you break at the hips (similar to starting a hipout/shrimp), you lose the power that is driving them over.
Henry always shows game changing details. Driving at the 11 to 1 oclock position, turn your head to look where you are going, control behind the elbow are big details to remember.
not just turn your head, but angling it out of the way so you can seamlessly roll over your shoulder was a detail I missed in class today. That changes everything!
Henry is awesome. Wish I could afford his instructionals. He's very generous with what he puts online for free.
try to get them when BJJ Fanatics has them on their daily deal, they have tons of sales a year, sometimes over 50% off so hopefully it will be more affordable for you when it goes on sale, I promise the content is worth it
@@HiddenJiuJitsu Thanks so much, Henry! I've learned a lot from you. You're a gifted teacher.
I got his scarf hold on sale double dipped with a fanatics sale and it's probably my favorite instructional
It was a Huge honor for me to learn this technique!
Hands down the best BJJ channel on you tube, probably on the planet. Thank you Bernardo for this wonderful channel!!
explaining the concepts is so much better than just showing a move
thanks
I agree, you definitely need both, the techniques or movements are just a product of the concepts
@@HiddenJiuJitsu
thanks sir
Henry is the man! Thanks as always!
Thanks King Koba!
Bernardo is a great host. As such an accomplished competitor himself, this sweep is something he has obviously mastered since white belt. But he purposefully asks questions to Henry in order for Henry to explain to the audience.
Henry's understanding of the umpa is just amazing. The details are the core of the move
yes he's a perfect disciple of rickson gracie. i wonder if rickson realized that and trained him for this reason. awesome info wish i could take jiu jitsu in a class with him. but youtube allows me to learn to so thankful for that
I'm very appreciative of this info. for real.
@@hypekillacsplaya in only 2 1/2 months into my BJJ journey and im blown away at the free content available that fills is so many details for me. Most importantly the principles/concepts as to why a move rather than the what in a move.
That left foot push at the end is the key!!! The second power source after the hip bump.
Henry Akins is one of the best instructors out there today
Love Henry's stuff. So helpful, esp with commonly used escapes that "seem" to stop working after a while.
At 2:21 I got super excited about what he was going to show. 😃
Love Henry Akins material! Moooore!!!
Glad to see this is how we learn at our Dojo, except for the grabbing behind the elbow part which looks like a nice addition! Can't wait to try it
No stripe white belt here. Just drilled this today, and that head detail is game changer. Just drilled again at home and it feels so much better. Seems almost like a bridge to shoulder roll
Henry Power!!!! Thank you!!
People are always shocked when I catch them with this...it's so simple yet so effective and even if you fail you can switch to another escape and attack the opposite side of their body for a sweep because their whole base will be focused on the side you upa'd to
Very nice will try this today. 🤞🏻
I appreciate you
I have had the good fortune to attend a seminar with Henry recently on closed guard. Seeing this, I am happy to say that it is exactly how I learned to do it from my old instructor in the Pedro Sauer Association, and when I now teach it, I do this exactly the same way. Good stuff!
This is in the Gracie Combatives program, simple but effective. Not some new fancy stuff though. Cheers for posting.
nothing I do is fancy or new, there's just a lot of details that many people don't know. Thanks for watching :)
The Gracie Combatives instructionals do not teach it with the same details of moving the head and driving through the hip at the 11:30/12:30 angle.
Great technique. I’ve had the pleasure of taking several private lessons with Henry and he helped me out with this exact technique. Henry is The Man and his Jiu Jitsu is on another level
This is awesome!! Definitely grateful for this lesson!!
What a legend. Awsome moves. Ossa...

Lol at Faria for acting like he doesn’t know a good way to use the upa in the beginning. But I get it, he’s a legitimate world champion, he can clown people using the technique wrong and then people wouldn’t understand just how high quality this instruction here is
Haha i use a ton of Henry's techniques. Some take a bit of work to be able to do them well, but they are kind of unorthodox so people don't expect them.
Tried this today. Failed. I forgot to clear my head🤦🏻♂️
😃😃😃oss🙂🙂🙂🙂
Theres no way
or, if u just do it fast enough, u dont really need to be that accurate and still works on majority people.
at the time, me 125, and opponent marine 220lb, and I was able to quickly sweep them with this.
then they got me with the simplest thing... can opener lmao
I mean the way they post the free hand is not even realistic, they dont even try to post in the direction of the bridge only up towards the head. Obviously everyone will post at an angle unless its a whitebelt.
