Side Control Details Make an Insane Difference with Henry Akins

[@andrecheongavocadojudo2114]

Poor Bernardo 😂 thank you for taking one for the team hahaha

[@donlovato5468]

That’s exactly what I was thinking!! Lololol

[@johnnyb2799]

Henry is just going crash test dummy on him. What a DUDE!!! Respect!!!

[@jeskow19]

Seriously. There should be a go fund me for Bernardo's joints.

[@JamesLDurham]

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.

[@carlcanfield3763]

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

[@HenryAkinsBJJ]

Carl Canefield is a legend!

[@raymondayala5355]

@@HenryAkinsBJJ awesome stuff Henry!! Glad you’re doing well brotha 🙏🏽

[@everydayrider]

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 🙂

[@chriscrew4478]

Thank you so much!!! 4 months in and never landed a submission... tonight I landed 3... 2 were with this

[@paulbannon1688]

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

[@cosme2032]

😂 I’m 44 w/ADHD 😂😂😂

[@tmass1]

notes to self: 5:49 americana here 11:06 take mount. needs good tricep control

[@Gkoodle]

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.

[@stephenbeatty5788]

Bernardo…you’re a champ. Just taking the abuse the whole time for our benefit.

[@thefitgm335]

I want a reverse roles series of episodes, of Bernardo showing techniques to famous black belts.

[@JohnRBIV]

His over under passing videos are good

[@samuelchavarriamurillo6814]

Bernardo is so unintentionally funny, freaking love this guy hahahah

[@stickycharles2249]

Henry, you are my new favorite BJJ teacher. You do an outstanding job explaining moves that actually work.

[@peacefuldecadence328]

I have all his instructionals really great teacher so much details

[@HenryAkinsBJJ]

Thanks Charles I’m glad my videos have been so helpful for you!

[@zach2895]

I honestly try not to watch instructionals but I just eat up Henry’s teachings. Thank you Henry and Bernardo!

[@MrBlockHead]

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…

[@HangmanActual]

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.

[@Dwebster0203]

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

[@nathanielhall1353]

Bernardo, your channel is some of the best teaching out there. It is an incredible supplement to time on the mat. 🙏

[@sergemataleao70]

Thank you to both of you...Poor Bernardo (the sounds he is making are simply hilarious)

[@TinekaJasonPalmer]

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.

[@nathanielhall1353]

Also Henry does an amazing job explaining these concepts. Much respect guys!

[@paulbridgman3437]

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.

[@treye705]

I will be using this non stop thank you

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

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.

[@Dwebster0203]

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

[@kingchief4038]

Its enjoyable to watch because we all know how much it sucks being stuck in side control..

[@MrEast900]

Sensei Bernardo great content. Still waiting for the day you get Sensei Rickson as a guest.

[@marcos290]

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..👍👊🏾

[@yogsothoth-tz2bu]

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.

[@gegaoli]

Truly unbelievable. Awesome

[@erikpetersen2812]

Huge fan. Henry changed my game .

[@VillageTechnologies]

My favourite part of this video are Bernardo's sound effects. Thanks Bernardo !!

[@thefreedomproject4777]

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.

[@mr.tall-man1573]

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!

[@HenryAkinsBJJ]

That was a really fun podcast with Andy, thanks for listening

[@Genoen]

This is gold

[@Vintagegijoefreak]

The 6:21 YESS from Bernardo is absolutley hilarious! It’s a ”get me the hell out of here-yes”..😄

[@ndaking]

Henry is truly an amazing instructor!

[@mitcholineck5345]

That was amazing Henry, I like the kesa position and that was super helpful.

[@olemanshavadoo7893]

I’ve been doing the underhook trick for a long time but this was helpful in some new ways to attack

[@phewbee]

This is so good. The technique and the talk on breathing control is all awesome. Not nearly enough likes on this video.

[@cmt1912]

Pilhcouety ysanjpilhcourt d sure v even close Reader pilhcouety ysanjpilhcourt even r u experienced professionals right kind experience right in the morning I Amadeus pilhcouety da

[@TheMartinBishop]

"THANKS Henry so much I appreciate it!" almost gave me a stroke from laughter.

[@Kim-f6s7o]

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.

[@joellanderson5137]

Somebody did a version of this to me yesterday. I could not believe how painful it was. I started laughing and tapped, lol.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

11:56 darce available, Shotgun Armbars, and triangle.

[@machinegunpreacher2469]

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.

[@4Timesdafunky]

Thank you so much for this game-changing instructional video / comedy sketch.

[@Sidecontrol1234]

This blew my mind!

[@serekithegreat]

I know Henry and his brother pretty well going back decades from Oklahoma City. He’s a really humble guy. 🥋😎🤙🏾

[@chriscrew4478]

All the style points!!! New thing to shoot for if I get that underhook... going to be so fun!

[@MrCeo1978buddy]

I just noticed that small detail on how he layed flat then kept the pressure to rolling him up tight like that and his side and ribs are over his chest and lungs while pulling his right arm up tighter wow big difference

[@shirw9607]

This is a game changer for me. thank you!

[@mobiledetail4you]

Duuude! Another incredible lesson, but also the Rickson story, awesome!

[@ben-arte8936]

Bernardo you're a soldier for the cause!

[@Andre-yw6zs]

Grande Bernardo sofreu! Imagino a pressão! Obrigado

[@junkjitsu2788]

We call this 3 point pressure. However the detail of the attacks are amazing. Great video.

[@TheRoot2944]

When he said thank you so much Henry I laughed poor Bernardo

[@tom4381]

The detail at 5:05 is really cool. Would this work if trying to finish the Ezekiel??

[@jasonjamesknight]

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

[@nicholasjames4789]

That was awesome Henry. Thank you! Poor Bernardo. Way to take some punishment for the cause!

[@FranciscoL2022]

Brilliant

[@kecabojan]

This is amazing!

[@sdzachar]

Awesome as always thank you guys

[@cristiangamboa2037]

I laughed at the sounds Bernardo was making, thank you bro you really took one for the team.

[@SkurgeBeatz]

Def buying his instructional!

[@juliettedelta3531]

Merci bernardo!

[@bxlawless100]

I saw a very ancient description of a specific Jiu Jitsu style that i can’t recall which has Henry’s position with the hand against the head in multiple poses (side control, mount, etc). I never understand why. Perhaps Henry is reinventing these positions. PS. If you look closely, Henry’s hip is OFF the ground so ALL his weight is transferred into Bernardo. It triples the pressure on Bernardo. Very subtle.

[@tapskill3]

Dean Listen vs Josh Barney with this kasa from side control. It’s a Catch wrestling chest lock. Judo players use as well. Excellent teacher!

[@Testeverything521]

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

[@AndyTargaryen]

5:26 is so funny. Basically me every class when I didn't see a move coming.

[@coryscook91]

Ok im sold. This guy teaches very well.

[@Petestanton]

superb detail

[@dingusmcgringle9741]

That's it. I'm buying the dvd.

[@jjpc225]

I’m doing this. Amazing

[@trojansky2348]

Great video!

[@Trephining]

Henry's gi is top notch, like the plain style

[@222-i6o]

u took my breath away...........

[@dpeshy6719]

6:09 - 😖 poor Bernardo. Thats a Man in pain... sort of like me at a chiro clinic, first assessment appointment after a competition. 🤭

[@funkyflights]

Good stuff, thanks

[@Karen-fs6lf]

Great details

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

The closed captioning reads him as Harry Aching.

[@shemwayland4292]

Sensei Henry Akins Hidden Jiu Jitsu🙏 Kazure Kesa Gatame 🔥

[@luiscastroapablaza8397]

Excelent video!!!..what is an adcuate way by defend or escape that so uncomfortable position (side control with both underhook)

[@Dennis-McTatten]

God bless u Bernardo

[@mynameisurl1073]

After watching this video i became more interested in breath control than the actual side pressure technique.

[@Karen-fs6lf]

Great judo pressure I know the pain he is feeling I learned this from Okada sensei I japan

[@TheDaftySage]

Damn. I just found my new favorite position. I struggled doing anything from side control.

[@loganlexed]

Feel bad for Bernardo, great information. Thanks.

[@hassij01]

The comedy of Bernardo alone is worth watching this video. The technique lesson is pretty good too 😂

[@Mary-yr4rv]

Great video! Thank you Bernardo!

[@tieoneon5240]

really informative thanks

[@DoranJiuJitsu]

6:45 had me in pain😅

[@Rilasis]

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

[@zacharysancartier3454]

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

[@RadDadLife]

The paper cutter choke relies on pressure on the trachea correct. From Rex explanation and the angle of the camera it looks like you’re not putting pressure on the carotid arteries. Thank you white belt here

[@m_almarzoQ8]

Think you coach

[@hypekillacsplaya]

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.

[@jerryoutlaw3396]

All hail KING HENRY!!!!!!!

[@johnbarabasch5884]

Wow!! Just amazing!!!

[@judodavid1]

Fine top work!

[@mephiston9]

poor Bernardo he was in pain for 80% of the whole video😅😅🤣🤣

[@antiheroes7972]

This is incredible

[@josedasilvassauro]

Huge HONOR and PAIN :)
