Excellent instructions. I am only used to turning into the attacker, good to see another option. I can see how much it helps to root, drop your center of gravity, and keep good posture as you use leverage and rotation to increase the power. The ‘flowing with the force’ you mentioned is also a wing chun saying, “take what comes, follow what goes, strike through on loss of contact.” I’ll bet many martial arts have a similar concept. Now on to watch more vids.
I liked how you suggested to focus on the fundamentals of grab his arm with both hands and lower your stance. It also made a lot of sense to use his momentum rather than fighting against it. Thanks, just subscribed. Could you show us chokes that are similar to the Ezekiel choke. Maybe ones that can be used when the opponent is in full mount on top of you? Thanks
Love your videos. I like what you are doing in the video and plan on adding it but I have a suggestion for an add in or another way that I teach for the technique/situation you are working. Once you establish your base, you can peal off two fingers and establish a fulcrum with your thumb and turn into him with a finger lock. Their body will be the base for the elbow and allow the finger lock to work. Once you have turned toward them with the finger lock you can work other small circle jujitsu or other techniques.
Great techniques! Coming from a more strike-based background, my initial instinct would be to elbow and heel stomp backward, but that will probably get you choked out these days :)
It may work, but it might make things worse too. I think at least blending strikes with the techniques I demonstrate in this video is a good idea. I am just showing the structural elements that are a little more reliable than strikes alone, especially when striking an opponent who is already holding you from behind. My opinion.
Im a solid blue belt in striking & white belt in ju-jitsu. Striking is dead as dead, use your striking in self defense against a minority, you got an assault & a hate crime. You need to grab in self defense, no lobbyist working with congress for self defense rights with your fists. Plus your dreaming a nightmare if you think yuoll strike out of a choke pal. take a jujitsu class real eye opener.
Loved it great video just wondering have you found Any techniques that would work with Kali moves cause I would love to see that Like Kali moves that you Can incorporate into Jujitsu
Thanks for this. *Question* - A friend of mine, who is about eight or nine inches taller than I am, once came up behind me wrapped his arm around my throat, pulled back, and lifted me off the ground. If I had seen your video (or trained in jiu jitsu) and had concentrated on trying to drop my body weight down and forward (even though my feet were a few inches off the ground at the time), would the second technique you show here have worked?
Timing is everything. If you recognize and react early and appropriately, then yes, this technique can work on someone even that size. I teach this to the kids classes and I easily have that much size on most all of them, and I can get them to a level that they can do this on me with some resistance.
It’s very hard to reach his head from that position. As for doing it without using my hands, there would be a lot of pressure on the neck. You need to pull that choking arm down as much as possible as soon as possible.
If someone jumps on your back and chokes you from behind (backpack position), is it a good idea to fall on your back onto him possibly hitting his head on the ground? Or is it better to bend over and try to unload him infront of you?
Nice! Thanks for the instruction. Question: What if the attacker isn't standing behind you and he's not perpendicular to you? Could you turn your back to the outside and perform different techniques from there?
UFC lately I notice the guy trying the rear naked choke jumps and body locks with the legs essentially becoming attached to the persons body. I never see anyone attempt what your doing but perhaps on the street it’s more effective but I am curious what you would do if someone does that on the street.
I experienced a variation of the standing bear naked choke where the guy was strong enough to lift me while choking me so I couldn't pull off the escape. Didn't even get the chance to put my foot behind his, just had to tap and take the L. Ideas?
Hi, when you train do your muscles memory instantly work your movement or does your brain have to think about the move you are about to perform? the reason I ask is because no matter how many times I drill moves sometimes I still have to think about what move I will do, i.e if I do a double leg take down and end up in side control there are so many moves to do that I often hesitate or forget which one is best suited, of course in a real world fight you do not get that thinking time. Basically is your BJJ now just instinctive? another question, how long do you think of not training would it take for you to forget what you already know? thanks.
+bob nice I think thats a great question. I think every move can become instinctive for everyone...but different people will assimilate it into muscle memory at different rates. I’m not at all a natural at Jiu-Jitsu or much of anything, so it tends to take me a lot more training to get remotely instinctive at a move. And it needs to be as automatic as possible, but many techniques will buy you a small amount of thinking time for recall of specific details. And the great thing about Jiu-Jitsu is the tactile nature and gross motor mechanics of most the moves accelerate this process. In my opinion.
What if you're sitting in a chair and someone attempts a rear naked choke on you? The chair hinders your movement, so I'm curious what the response would be. Thanks!
If the person doing this is very strong comparatively, then can u still pick and drop him in the front?? Also would this work if the behind person is shorter ?
The leverage is good enough to do this to someone bigger. Every technique has a limit, but these are able to be performed on bigger people. As for the person in the back being shorter, if they can reach you to choke you, they are tall enough for the technique to work
HEY I CAN HELP YOU THERE . WHEN A PERSON IS GOING THROUGH YOUR ARMS PUT BOTH YOUR HANDS UP LIKE YOU ARE COVERING YOUR EARS. THEN BRING BOTH HANDS DOWN TO YOUR SIDES TRAPPING HIS HANDS. THEN TAKE YOUR LEFT HAND GRAB HIS FINGERS AND SNAKE YOUR RIGHT HAND UNDER HIS HAND AND WRAP IT AROUND YOUR WRIST NOW PUSH PULL DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT . FROM THERE TAKE YOUR RIGHT HAND GO UNDER AND AROUND HIS HAND MAKING SURE YOUR THUMB GOES BETWEEN HIS THUMB AND HAND AND YOUR HAND GOES OVER THE TOP GRABBING THE PINKY SIDE EDGE. NOW TAKE YOUR RIGHT LEG SPIN ALL THE WAY ( AROUND INTO HIM MAKE SURE YOUR NOT STANDING WITH YOUR LEGS TOGETHER THE RIGHT LEG IS IN BACK .) YOUR RIGHT ELBOW HITTING HIM THEN WITH YOUR LEFT HAND GRABBING THE INSIDE OF HIS RIGHT ELBOW (NOW YOU HAVE A NIKKEA) FROM THERE THERES MANY WAYS TO GO THAT MY FRIEND IS HOW YOU GET OUT OF A FULL NELSON
I get asked that a lot. Not long ago, Royce Gracie and the Valente brothers made a transition to the blue sleeve from the red with their networks. This is to delineate them from the IBJJF. Since Royce is my teacher, I wear the blue sleeve.
The security?....not sure what you mean. But if the person has the size and time to be able to do that then they are probably going to choke you and there’s not much you can do about it. These are the best options for possible defense though.
It doesn't change. The only difference it might make is to allow him to follow and regain his posture on the turn. If that happens, you can switch it back to the second technique (the forward throw) since he will then be leaning into you.
Always enjoy your instruction, very clear. Thanks for all of your videos! Question - what if the attackers knee is deep between your legs and is much taller making it difficult to drop into base? Ossss
Thank you! As for your question, I expect the attacker’s knee will be between your legs as that is what provides the leverage for them to pull you back and apply the choke. However, this shouldn’t structurally affect one’s ability to get into base unless the attacker is extremely tall or large - like twice the size of the defender. In which case, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to successfully defend themselves against someone that size. But with enough refinement of the technique, someone can give away a substantial amount of size. But no defense is perfect.
Holding your breath won't help. If anything, it will make you pass out faster. If its a clean strangle, then it shouldn't be as much about constricting the airway, but about the arteries.
At 3:11 could you perform the throw if you land on one knee ruclips.net/video/H91WduweXcM/видео.html or 2 knees ruclips.net/video/sp11UkolacI/видео.html
This is similar to a one arm throw like Ippon Seionagi in Judo, but the big difference is the positioning of the opponent’s arm because the attack places it around your neck. For that reason I would say, no, you shouldn’t attempt to drop to a knee or knees because it will create a hanging effect.
Could you do a video on how to escape the choke that starts on 0:00 till 0:03 in this video ruclips.net/video/o0kgMQPjUqE/видео.html It's sort of a rear naked choke.
I will try to get one out. It’s a lot easier to escape that one than the ones I show though, since there is only one choking arm. The other arm isn’t helping the choke and makes it easier to defend and strip.
Except I saw this woman who is a self-defense expert say that elbow to the ribs/solar plexus was the proper escape. I think Eli Knight is McDojo....🤫🙃🤪
Once in base, or on your way to it, things get clearer. Great advice as always, tks professor!
I'm addicted to @Knight Jiu-Jitsu content. This is beyond impressive.
This is the most descriptive video I could find compared to the other ones. Love it
Thank you!
A well explained and very effective technique . As in many Jiu-Jitsu moves.
Some gold nuggets right there. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. Thank you!
A true blessing thanks this might be your best and most important video yet
I appreciate you saying that! Thank you!
EXCELLENT, thank you both.

Now on to watch more vids.
I liked that type of defense, for the rear neck, choke. It is simple, and realistic. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Good job as always Knight.
This guy understands Tai Chi principles. Good to see. Great martial artists know how to use the force of their opponent.
Excellent demonstration. Thanks.
Thank you!

Of course, and having taken up BJJ a little over a year ago it's easy to see why stuff like this is better.

Sir, how you defend if he jumps on your back and lock his leg around your waist. If you can make a video, that will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good advice there is a guy who always treat people like this 😁thanks
I have a question. What about to protect your throat with your chin?
Could you perform the throw at 3:11 if you grab his head instead of his chocking arm, or even without using your arms?
It’s very hard to reach his head from that position. As for doing it without using my hands, there would be a lot of pressure on the neck. You need to pull that choking arm down as much as possible as soon as possible.

Thanks for this i needed an easy one for my p.e class demonstration..
Why is the little block on your black belt blue instead of red? Just curious
I get asked that a lot. Not long ago, Royce Gracie and the Valente brothers made a transition to the blue sleeve from the red with their networks. This is to delineate them from the IBJJF. Since Royce is my teacher, I wear the blue sleeve.
The opponent or attacker has the standing rear choke fully locked on what escape applies for that to get out of?
What if the security is bigger and pick you up from your neck and walk forward??? How you can scape from that?
The security?....not sure what you mean.
But if the person has the size and time to be able to do that then they are probably going to choke you and there’s not much you can do about it. These are the best options for possible defense though.
What about your height? How does a person's height play into this?
Will this work on someone who's bigger and heavier than me?
Yep. I wouldn’t show anything that required someone to be bigger and stronger than their opponent. Of course, everything has limitations.
How would you adapt the first one if his hands were connected?
It doesn't change. The only difference it might make is to allow him to follow and regain his posture on the turn. If that happens, you can switch it back to the second technique (the forward throw) since he will then be leaning into you.
Well explained. Well done!

Learnt this the first day at Jiu Jitsu
Thanks a lot!
That's awesome.
Speaking from a victim perspective, will holding your breath save you more time before passing out if the subject has the choke in full effect?
Holding your breath won't help. If anything, it will make you pass out faster. If its a clean strangle, then it shouldn't be as much about constricting the airway, but about the arteries.
Knight Jiu-Jitsu ah okay thanks
But what if the other person is too strong and you just cant pull their arm down then what ?
Then you get choked. But keep in mind that it’s body weight vs limb weight, and not just arm strength vs arm strength.

Would this escape ruclips.net/video/UAbsWRi-5r8/видео.html for the rear choke?
No. For the rear bear hug under the arms, it is great. But you can't bend at the waist if someone is grabbing around your neck for a rear choke.
Thanks.
Bruce Lee said hit that balls...

Actually she said elbow to the hip. 😂
Knight Jiu-Jitsu That’s ridiculous LMAO!
Haha! Yep!
bit strange to see a guy in action , grappling and being thrown over while chewing gum
His moves take entirely too long! Thus calling it his form of BJJ with a black belt??? Hmmm......?
Not sure what you mean by too long? The explanation? And yes, I’m a black belt under Royce Gracie and I’ve been training 25 years.
