[@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 🙏🏽

[@chriscrew4478]

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

[@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 🙂

[@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

[@stephenbeatty5788]

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

[@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

[@ghassankaddoura1339]

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.

[@samuelchavarriamurillo6814]

Bernardo is so unintentionally funny, freaking love this guy hahahah

[@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.

[@hassij01]

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

[@DoranJiuJitsu]

6:45 had me in pain😅

[@kingchief4038]

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

[@zach2895]

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

[@Saracen101]

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

[@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!

[@tmass1]

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

[@Laughingman9432]

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

[@TheMartinBishop]

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

[@davidwebsterlopez7458]

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

[@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.

[@Vintagegijoefreak]

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

[@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.

[@cristiangamboa2037]

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

[@user-rk7rl2dh9q]

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.

[@sergemataleao70]

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

[@zacharysancartier3454]

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

[@treye705]

I will be using this non stop thank you

[@Genoen]

This is gold

[@nathanielhall1353]

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

[@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.

[@davidwebsterlopez7458]

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

[@mephiston9]

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

[@AndyTargaryen]

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

[@nathanielhall1353]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@joellanderson5137]

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

[@lariog31]

Okay Henry huge honour for me to breathe

[@olemanshavadoo7893]

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

[@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.

[@jasond6602]

Bernardo closed his eyes and went to his quiet place. Lol thanks Bernardo

[@gegaoli]

Truly unbelievable. Awesome

[@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..👍👊🏾

[@erikpetersen2812]

Huge fan. Henry changed my game .

[@FranciscoL2022]

Brilliant

[@Mary-yr4rv]

[@serekithegreat]

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

[@skurgelockproductions]

Def buying his instructional!

[@VillageTechnologies]

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

[@dilldill6117]

Beautiful

[@shirw9607]

This is a game changer for me. thank you!

[@loganlexed]

Feel bad for Bernardo, great information. Thanks.

[@mitcholineck5345]

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

[@jerryoutlaw3396]

All hail KING HENRY!!!!!!!

[@jjpc225]

I’m doing this. Amazing

[@mobiledetail4you]

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

[@chriscrew4478]

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

[@ndaking]

Henry is truly an amazing instructor!

[@MohammedalmarzoQ]

Think you coach

[@coryscook91]

Ok im sold. This guy teaches very well.

[@HonkletonDonkleton]

God bless u 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.

[@4Timesdafunky]

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

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

The closed captioning reads him as Harry Aching.

[@nicholasjames4789]

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

[@juliettedelta3531]

Merci bernardo!

[@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

[@Andre-yw6zs]

Grande Bernardo sofreu! Imagino a pressão! Obrigado

[@ben-arte8936]

Bernardo you're a soldier for the cause!

[@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

[@oraclebjj]

Where has this technique been all these years?

[@junkjitsu2788]

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

[@shemwayland4292]

Sensei Henry Akins Hidden Jiu Jitsu🙏 Kazure Kesa Gatame 🔥

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

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

[@Karen-fs6lf]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@luiscastroapablaza8397]

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

[@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

[@mynameisurl1073]

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

[@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

[@Trephining]

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

[@josedasilvassauro]

Huge HONOR and PAIN :)

[@rodrigomuterleribeiro5931]

Excelentes técnicas e explicações! Saudações do Brasil!

[@morpheus2072]

Yes.

[@prezire]

Kept holding my breath while watching this 🤣😂😅🙃

[@rstonelee1311]

Henry, can you give some tips about how to pluck the near arm, especially with a strong opponent?
