20 Knee on Belly Submissions | Chokes, Arm Locks & Leg Locks

[@gymlaxbro]

2 stripe white just starting to get into some knee on belly stuff and thus couldn’t have came at a better time 👌👌

[@jd8226]

You should worry about passing guards before you start putting knees on bellies

[@randomstf1186]

cant believe i've used knee on belly only for control. 1-3 submissions in knee on belly, ok... but 20! this is gold. and i love knee on belly position

[@senseialexsprfk]

Love how you include action reaction, push pull etc principles into your teaching. Still one of the best bjj resources online in my opinion Eli! Much respect!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate it 🙏

[@TheJJO]

It's funny that the explanation for the baseball bat choke sandwiched in this video made more sense to me than a lot of stand alone videos on the topic. Thanks for sharing

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate this comment a lot

[@tree1fox]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm tall, athletic, and big, but I'm very technical. And 42 years old. I don't want to lose training partners, but I do need to progress. I'll start with my grappling dummy to learn the tactile components. OSS.

[@MeroGrumble]

Historical fun fact regarding your comment on knee-on-belly being a transitional position: it can be found under the name " *floating hold* " (uki gatame) in old judo books. A bit like if your were on a surfboard, adapting to the movement of the water below . I think it sums up the idea well. :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yes! I have a couple of old texts including the Kodokan where is references that. I’m always fascinated by the history of these positions.

[@MeroGrumble]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Then I share the old description, for all nerdy grapplers: " _This hold, which can be annoying and painful, is useful against opponents who use their legs to prevent any "entry" on the ground_ [I guess when people are making a "ball" with their knees close to their chest, then you can create space by inserting your knee] . _It makes the transition from standing to ground fighting easier, especially for transition after a failed throw when you still have a grip on your opponent's lapel_ [on the picture, the man on top has a standard judo grip on lapel and opposite sleeve, with a push/pull action]. Source : My method of judo, by Mikinosuke Kawaishi (trained in the 1920's, led to the creation of the French judo federation). Nowadays, knee on belly is not considered an official hold in judo and using it in judo for transition from standing to ground fighting is often a lost know-how.

Great video! Most times i watch instructional videos i get to tap higher belts.

[@abdominalesalos4026]

Thanks! This position is kind of easy for me to get to, but attacking from here has never been easy. Bunch of ideas to practice

[@ItsRDC]

Great video. I use the baseball bat a lot, but I definitely need to do more cross collar chokes just for some variety. One thing I would add is when you pull them on their side for the far side armbar, it's pretty easy to switch to the kimura grip as well.

[@Palar47]

I'm in the same boat, dude. I've been trying to go back and focus on the basics, and there's something really satisfying about applying a solid cross collar. I've found a decent amount of success starting with the baseball bat as a decoy (which im sure guys expect from you at this point) and then getting the first hand in place at the first sign of defense.

[@chr9is1188]

Your coaching cues and explanations are spot on dude, thanks for the video

[@override3377]

Thank you as always Professor for building this guide. Something i find myself doing a lot is a kimura on the far side arm: when i catch the arm i roll on my shoulder and it can lead to a nice backtake.

[@mrrob5851]

Great video Eli. I won’t watch the saddle stuff cause as a white belt in japan I’m not allowed to do any locks on knees or ankles in competition. But love the knee on belly stuff. Can’t wait to use them.

[@TruthSubjective]

Thank you!

I love the saddle! We call that clover leaf the wheelchair

Why?

Too late. My professor told me that knee on belly attacks are better for me to master. 115 kg/2m tall here.

[@blakelyman7289]

Love this channel so much. Super in depth videos. Every time I come back to my jiu jitsu gym after drilling your moves. I find myself subbing people I’ve never beaten before

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much.

[@brianr2941]

I’m gonna try a bunch of these! Thanks again

[@f1337str337]

Your videos are fantastic, I've been watching them since my gym shut down in hopes of becoming a spooky white belt but I'll prolly just get ragdolled again once things open up lol

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate you watching and the kind words. I hope these help you become the white belt that gives everyone problems.

So did you lol?

[@dinomra7771]

Do you see Knee On Belly used much in high level competition? Also, couldn't you use monoplata from this position at 9:40 ?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Knee on belly is used a lot at many levels of competition. Probably more no gi than gi, but a lot. And that position right then isn't the right angle for monoplata, but I have a few other videos of when and how monoplata can be used though.

[@dinomra7771]

[@The0909azaz]

[@BeepBoop2221]

Hey Eli. My school teaches the baseball choke where you go over the arm with your knee and don't complete the circle. They also teach that nearside armbar the second way you did it bit keeping your arm posted on the other side. Are those usual variations? I'm a white belt so all of this is new.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

There are several variations that can all work. I like the particular details I show in this video, because these are the ways that I find most beneficial and accessible for myself. Different body types, sizes, skill levels, etc., will work better with different variations sometimes.

[@cogen651]

I wouldn't use the baseball bat choke in a street fight using a jacket because the guys left hand is free to punch you or grab the hait etc.

[@ItsRDC]

If you do the baseball bat choke correctly, someone can punch or pull your hair all they want. They're only going to be awake for like 10 seconds

How in the hell do u come up with 20???? I have like 6 subs that i know from here lol. Well not anymore. Can't i hadn't seen this!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I like to offer as much as possible. These aren’t all great for me, but they may be for someone else. That’s my feeling about it anyway. 🙏

[@bboybreathless]

Would you ever consider doing demostrations at the end of each move guide to show what itll be like if an opponent was fully struggling? Because it seems all too easy when the model is just letting you do whatever but itll be really interesting to see what itll be like in action where the model is trying to fight you off, perhaps not as someone who knows what they are doing per se ^^ Thanks, great videos

[@g496r500t]

The problem with your request is that a truly struggling opponent often times you end up transitioning to another technique all together.

[@bboybreathless]

@@g496r500t Even better - would be cool to see a demo of say, 4 and apply them according to the struggle and position and then a break after of the situation and explaining rationale etc

[@phredbookley183]

At 15:24 oh shht... is that the Mikey Lock?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Pretty much, but I learned that about 9 years ago. I’m sure Mikey has some details he adds in, but the general idea has been around for a long time.
