Best Way to Do the Americana Shoulder Lock by Henry Akins

[@Cerebus911]

Thank you for sacrificing your right arm for this video Bernardo

[@darraghkeenan980]

It's a great honour to read your message

[@kristoferrice8383]

Aaaye!!!😂😂😂

[@That_IT_Trainer]

Fonzie

[@sethpurdom]

Bernardo noises are legendary.

[@IAmRickMagic]

😂

[@scottsmith7053]

Henry understands the basics so deep it is crazy

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

Bernardo is such a nice guy it makes it hard to remember that he's an absolute monster on the mat 😆

[@dan5626]

He collects a paycheck by pretending he doesn't know absolutely everything about what is being shown in the videos. This guy is a 3-time World Champion, Henry Akins is a nobody. It must pay well having that fake grin in his face and making people believe this concept (trivial) is new to him.

[@fabianbecker6266]

I'm gonna use that "aheeeyy" tap in class!

[@ylee2655]

How can you watch this and not give it a thumbs up? I love that...Make Americanas Great Again!

[@ziaflame]

Yes. Thank you, Bernardo, ❤for being the training dummy. You are the man. Hilarious. I make similar sounds when I'm getting submitted. You had me rolling laughing. 🤣

[@dvmartial]

11:23 - is it just me, or did Bernardo turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger for a moment?

[@PhuongNguyen-bl6zm]

😂

[@InformalGreeting]

I went to school with Henry starting in the 6th grade way back in 1986. Hard to believe that kid turned out to be one of the baddest dudes on the planet.

[@ronchew391]

That’s awesome! I didn’t know u could catch the Americana from so many other positions. Thanks Henry! Keep it coming.

[@jordanbeagle5779]

I really should buy one of Henry’s instructionals he’s one of the best

[@PerfectoKiss]

Good stuff! Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

[@kristophersmith9920]

Great concepts,thank you

[@tapskill3]

I like following Henry’s instructional videos . He’s truly a Jujitsu scholar in every sense of the word. I think he’s highly intelligent as he teaches the fundamentals principles and concepts which increase your ability to apply the techniques through understanding the mechanics necessary to achieve success as you know principles over techniques! I’m going to invest in his videos. Thx Coah AL

[@sergiodefreitas6597]

One of thr best coaches out there period 😊

[@surferbeast124]

Bernardo getting absolutely smoked throughout this instructional. haha

[@PaschalP]

Bernardo has the best verbal tap!

[@danielbatten1837]

Wow so many variations from this guy. Picked up a few great tips 👌🏼

[@lucassmith2332]

Love it thank you so much. White belt getting ready for a tournament soon and get frustrated in 3/4 and full mount. Can't wait to try it.

[@willhok]

Amazing video, crazy stuff here

[@af4396]

"I'm here today with Hairy Aikins, hooge awnerr for mee!"

[@Leopar525]

Hairy hahahahaha

[@DanielIvan707]

Brutal! Old man shoulders

[@stephenroach8033]

I know it's a clique, but as a white belt, I love the Americana. Now I have new angles to try.

[@gaoyuanchen571]

The “Make Americana great again” got me so hard 😂😂

[@tomtrader6559]

Awesome stuff, will try on Sunday:)

[@bigMCLR]

wow thank you coach Oss

[@pg234forreal]

My shoulder hurts for you Bernardo. Thank you!

[@guzzy9596]

I feel like my professor watches Bernardo religiously, just covered an extremely similar Americana detail but starting from half guard!

[@Joeybaggadeez]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@wertytrewqa]

at 3:55 ish that was a good set up for the Americana

[@bryancjacobs]

Last time Bernardo trains with Henry

[@hdvsmith]

Jesus, did you see that??? 😮 @8:55 I'm going to have to watch this about 20 times to dissect this move!

[@kadnfildnsflisfilsdn]

In my opinion, the americana is the least respected sub in bjj, but once someone actually refines its application, it turns into a really high percentage move. It's one I use all the time and continually shock people that I roll with.

[@Jblazer88]

Please buy the instructional, Bernardo went through so much pain in order to demonstrate these techniques to us

[@cybersecuritychris]

Thanks, I like the idea of using the monkey grip and getting your own elbow down to the ground

[@b4dmaash]

Aaaaaaayyyyyyyeeeeeee

[@seattleboatdetailingmobile1926]

Henry For the win making Americana great again!😂

[@jacobwilson7030]

Henry does BJJ like a guy who doesn’t want friends 🤣

[@slabzzz]

MAKE AYEEEEEEE GREAT AGAIN!

[@eddiewawa]

Ran into this tonight , now i know how to break those arms next time lol

[@wizettv3531]

haha loved henrys Americana great again line

[@naakaalastudio6655]

I have to get the weight distribution instructional. At one point here Bernado is suffering from the pressure. On the preview the for Make Americanas Great again the uke is dying from pressure. What the hell is Henry doing? 🤣

[@KerbsideCritics]

Aiiiiii aiiiiiiii aiiiiiiii yes yes yes

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

I would love to hear a discussion about Americanas between Henry and John Danaher.

[@wily3490]

😂😂😂😂

[@mrsilkswifts]

As if saying Your breaking my arm wasn't enough lol the ayyyyye!!!

[@dopavelli]

let's make Americana great again :D :D

[@frenchmike]

Make Americanas Great Again. hahahaha. that was good

[@DanielIvan707]

Ahheeyyyy!

[@lucasacostamedina2099]

EEEEI

[@mrolympia2774]

This is a very dangerous one... Dislocated my shoulder many times training with the wrong people. Yes. Training. Rolling. Not even fighting Be careful you guys.

[@golddee2040]

Roger finished Buchecha with a bow and arrow? I don't think so. If Roger Gracie gets the collar choke, he finishes the collar choke.

[@Spiritof_76]

Some people call all wrapped around collar jokes from the back a bow-and-arrow. I don't. It should just be when the leg or pants are grabbed.

[@Leitefsj]

No disrespect, but you guys could stop advertising Henry as a “Rickson black belt”. I bet, although he learned from him, most of what he shows must be his own approach of the techniques.

[@BH-gh6qm]

henry akins is the kind of guy who think he is the smartest guy in the world and really he has never innovated anything but how to swallow all of ricksons loads.

[@urbansamurai261]

Why do you say that

[@Spiritof_76]

It would be fantastic if you showed up at one of his seminars and told that to everyone there.

[@Mus4shi15]

Make Kimuras Great Again!!!

[@Passport-Bro]

Does Harry have any relation to Henry Akins?
