A Jiu Jitsu Mount Escape That Works Against Anyone by Xande Ribeiro

[@CoachTC23]

Absolutely love that there’s a 4th degree world champion black belt who’s asking questions and learning a basic technique like a white belt. Bjj4life 🙏

[@andregoncalves5873]

I agree. Bernardo is such a humble dude. Seeing such an accomplished fighter seeking knowledge everywhere makes one understand that it's an endless journey and a beautiful one.

[@krankykola6822]

white belt mentality its is awesome and you wont see it in any other sport

[@martialmusicman]

It's impressive that Bernardo even does it with instructors with less experience and fewer accolades than he has, not just legends like Xande Ribeiro.

[@assoverteakettle]

Thought the same thing. When world champions discover something for the first time gives us mere mortals hope too. Bernardo's enthusiasm with all his guests, no matter what they have to demonstrate, is inspiring and infectious. Always try to see something new in something no matter how many times you've seen it.

[@shvettyballs7045]

Yeah man, always loved that about Bernardo. No ego. Such a great dude

That detail of staying flat and stiff arming the hip is huge! I cant wait for the DVD! You guys are awesome!

[@christulloch3473]

Just in my way to training, watching this agaun as a quick reminder but all i can think about is. "Head down, head down, head down". Hahah Great video just starting to have some success with this escape. Mount escape is a big weaknesses in my game.

[@tusccountyjiujitsu]

Bernardo just didn't want to keep his head down. LOL

[@ianseurattan2084]

You are by far one of the best jiu jitsu channels on KZbin. Thanks for everything.

[@nemanjaradojkovic1224]

Our coach (Wim Deputter, BRASA Belgium) is already teaching us a similar mount escape -- it's pure gold and as Xande says, preparation is crucial. As soon as you see that you're getting mounted you need to fight to place your hand to your opponent's opposite hip, that arm's elbow close to your body and the opposite leg flat on the ground. From there you have options, but what I usually do is get to the side, "backstroke" my other arm above my head and try to post first on my elbow, getting up and reversing the position completely, so that I end up in my opponent's full guard. All the while you must not lose the connection of your arm with the opponent's hip. Since I started using it I feel more comfortable being mounted than being in someone's side control.

[@adamzoubi96]

this guy is an awesome teacher, there aren't many like him around

[@johnd6258]

This goes on the same principles that Matt Thornton speaks about regarding mount escapes. Great stuff!

I saw this escape from an old video from Xande, has been years it still my most trusted escape, works all the time.

[@jasongrady8590]

Over 40 here. Saturday morning was my third class. My upper delts, traps, and neck have never been so sore and tight. Both of my collar bones are sore in a couple places. Both of my arms are (lightly) bruised. My left knee has "mat burn" (lol). My nose started bleeding (???) that night after my first class, which was a morning class. My central nervous system was so rattled from my first rolling session that my hands couldn't stop trembling. I'm hooked. (The question is: Will my body adapt quickly enough?)

[@BL0HARD]

Sounds like you need to relax more and stop muscling. I’m guessing it’ll get easier once you learn a guard and a sweep.

[@jasongrady8590]

@@BL0HARD -- Yes, my first time to roll was a lot of fun, but I was trying to be too physical, just like you said. I gassed myself out super quick. Lol. That was a great first experience and lesson, though.

[@jasongrady8590]

@@BL0HARD -- I forgot to mention that I haven't yet learned about either of those two.

[@BL0HARD]

Remember the Ju in Jujitsu, Judo and Goju ryu means gentle or yielding way. I used to muscle and force everything when I started too but once you learn some moves and formulate a game plan you have more of an idea what’s worth expelling energy to fight for. If you are bigger and stronger than some people where you train and you can win by brute force you are still doing yourself a disservice because you never really learn the magic of the art. The best guys are the small ones that have to use the art as intended and beat stronger opponents with technique and brains.

[@davidwells9926]

Short answer is yes, your body will adapt. The rest of the question, quickly enough, will depend. Are you willing to give it a month? 6 months? A year? Once you answer that question for yourself, what will you do if your body doesn't meet your timeline? Quit? Allow more time? The BJJ journey is life long for those who choose it. I started 4 years ago at the age of 46. I jumped in with both feet and it took my body a good year to adapt. AND, I was in the best physical condition of my life. I had just completed the SealFit 20x crucible event. I had to work through MULTIPLE injuries that sidelined me at times. This is for anyone - You absolutely have to know your 'Why'. Why are you entering into this new lifestyle? And it can't be some superficial reason. It needs to be tied to a deep intrinsic reason - an emotion even. Otherwise, you will quit. For some, quitting is okay. For me it is not. ONLY you can answer these questions for yourself! No one else on KZbin...

[@jethroblings]

I used the diamond principle and connection of elbow and knee at my next BJJ class after this video. It helped a lot. I created 'dilemmas' and have myself a chance against some higher belts. Thank you for this video!

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

This is actually an old school straight arm position frame which I learned about 25 years ago and was a main part of my escape strategy.

[@tearsintherain6311]

i always intuitively defend my neck when i get mounted, but it becomes a struggle for very long and i end up stalling out of tiredness, gonna try this framing next time and try to unlearn to automatically defend the neck

Nice

[@cypresspuz]

HEAD DOWN FFS! Xande, Bernardo is trying this tech for the first time so he's just trying to watch what he is doing with his arms and right leg.

[@WilsonLee123]

🤣 I always find Xande to be a tad hard on Bernardo. It's a bit of that competition spirit coming through I think.

[@daveesselink3574]

The head down part is half the reason the technique works...he's breaking a bad habit.

Seem like while he's "doing the escape".. he's open to a hammer fist

[@DetailingJourney]

When you're at bottom mount you always open to a punch, you just pick it either you want to get punch untill sleep without doing nothing just like chris weidmann or escape while getting punched

[@CombatVault]

Escaping dominant positions like this will never be pretty. That's the price you pay for ending up in them.

[@davidmendoza1073]

[@BloodSportQue]

30 powers of jolly

[@Transfunctioneer]

Anyone know why he keeps emphasising head down? Does it make the technique not as effective if your head is up?

[@cloudmaster3235]

I've tried both. It feels like you're more stable with head down on the mat. Like more bodyweight is grounded and makes you feel stronger.

[@jiujitsustudent604]

[@shawnlessard5947]

[@yangtroy1]

2:25 bruh..... i do this

[@calebleger]

How would you be able to implement this escape if the person on top goes for the Ezekiel choke while you're trying to push away the hips? I would think defending the neck is going to be more important... but I'm just a white belt lol. Help!

[@huxco]

One thing you can do before initiating the technique of the video is to press your head against the mat so that the opponent will have a hard time trying to get the arm under your head. That will at least buy you some time to apply the escape technique, some opponents will even give up on Ezekiel and search for something else.
