In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whenever you find yourself on the bottom you better have a go to escape or things can start becoming very difficult fast.
In this video we learn how to not only avoid the Kimura hold but also where to put you warm so your opponent cannot capture you in this dangerous hold. Lastly we will see how to use our under hook to get to our side without being counter by the whizzer, darce, guillotine and other common attacks from this position.
Hope you enjoy please be sure to like.
thank you

[@CojackM]

Thanks so much for these videos. The email list link in your description seems to be broken. Is there another way to sign up?

[@hepe0301]

awesome video Firas!

[@revokedestiny83]

Awesome detail on driving the tricep forward to deflect your opponents weight. I competed for the first time in a few years this last weekend, pulled deep half guard (usually a strong position for me) and lost on points. I've been obsessed with tuning up the half guard details. Much appreciated, subscribed!

[@wmc79]

Thank you !

[@coeho]

love the videos

[@Tang77so]

Very good - thanks!

[@ryanacevedo4109]

Thanks for the help! I kept getting caught in this Kimura, and your teaching helps me understand 🤗

[@klalrinchhana5680]

Wow this helps a lot thank you firas...i'm caught in kimura from side control a lot . Gotta try this.

[@sameerasnani9603]

love the videos Firas!! OOOOOSSSSS!!

[@thebluestartattoos]

I really appreciate all of your videos. Watching your videos has taught me more than 6 months at a Gracie Barra affiliate. Except for the rolls where I tested your teachings....

[@ulfderulfte]

once again, this was amazing, thank you so much. what I would like to see is how your oponent can advance from half to side with the grip intact.

[@CoalAerospaceAi]

Used this yesterday, I used the under hook to prevent the kimura from bottom half and regain guard. Also loved the strip with the knee and when I was in top half used it to prevent the grip and then pass

[@dykang709]

thanks! you best

[@vicarious8989]

Great technique!

[@Objectiveindividual1]

That was great super important for the jujitsu fighter to be able to relax and stay out of bad positions even if the wrestler gets the takedown and he is hard to sweep.

[@stefanoviviani6064]

Wow. I love your videos

[@LordBlackManta]

its crazy how detailed you describe everything . With your videos I have improved a lot . Im a white belt...( I should be higher but always miss the test) holding my own against brown belts

Did you ever post a follow up post for the triangle entry? These videos are gold! I learn more watching these that at the gym

[@lailahaillallah1]

Firas, thank you for the great videos! Can we get in the futere some tips about cage, fence work?

[@kalenhouse]

love your detailed instructions. you're a great bjj coach. keep up the great work. like I said earlier in my post I never meant to express my opinion in any disrespect. it was just my thoughts.

[@washingtonsauerbronn9387]

Oss ! Great Video ! Do you have DVD for sale with the details you demonstrate on this video here ?The slow motion and the details are really great ! One of the greatest video I saw so far ! And I'm a humble Brazilian practitioner of the gentle art for years.Congratulations!

[@rogerTitohotmama]

this is elite

[@transexualtoothfairy]

Great video. There's a guy at my gym that's very strong with his kimura and get's me almost every roll. Can't wait to try this on his kimura attempts. Thank you for a great video!

[@CoachZahabi]

+transexualtoothfairy practice it feel and you will turn the tables on him : )

[@jorgeoquendo4573]

That's very true, good one and not that hard to do

[@JohnWick-bd3uv]

I have really long limbs like Mr Fantastic and I was just wondering if you had a video on armbar defense

[@davidownzu]

goddammit i love these videos

[@miguel.h.collins]

High end instruction.

[@ShinkaTV]

tricep underhook! agh so smart

[@TheTerrisElliott]

"I love this. Thank you sincerely." -White Belt

[@jaimemadsen3559]

What kneepad do you use? Btw I've learned so much from all your stuff, you by far have the best teaching methods I've seen! Keep them coming!

[@mikesloan3924]

Hey Firas great video and technique. I have not rolled in some time so this is probably a dumb question but with the arm of the defender straight like that and not tucked round the back, is there a chance the guy on top can switch to an americana or head and arm type grip and use that to establish a stronger position? Cheers!

[@mrbouncelol]

What's happening with the copyright strike on your recent breakdown of the Rousey vs. Holm fight? I suppose it reached 600k views and UFC weren't pleased?

[@HumphreyChou96]

+Tristar Gym Firas, I want to subscribe to the email list, but the link is dead. Where do I sign up?

[@davidpinon5284]

Firas, what happened with the Rousey vs Holm video breakdown ?

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Thanks for showing this. I really enjoy these breakdowns! Quick question, I live in the nyc area and was wondering if I wanted to visit I your school during a weekend, is your school open to visitors?

[@CoachZahabi]

+Samuel Rivera yes we are open to the public and I teach most of the classes.

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Thanks Firas! It would be an honor to come to your school and take one of your classes. It's definitely on my bucket list for 2016

[@impolitikful]

what if he doesnt leave his arm way high like that and staples it to the ground like ryan hall shows in the open elblow dvd?

[@Bilal-rp4mk]

I'm trying to picture this in my mind but will have to try it out on the mats to be sure, but at 0:26 it looks like Matt is blocking the knee from sliding in. Is it possible for the man on top to block the knee?

[@adamlewis5224]

oss

[@ime90]

What if the person is in side control? Can you do some side control excapes please :)

[@cjang]

Thanks for the video Firas. Regarding the underhook from half guard: does upward pressure on the tricep also help you get you on your side when the guy on top is heavy and you're flattened out? In the video, it appears that you're flat on your back during some points during this transition and your head is on the "wrong" side (5:42), but the tricep pressure and hip escape let you pop right out.

[@CoachZahabi]

+Christopher Jang yes the underhook pressure towards the tricep is key to help you shrimp out. Give it a try and you will see the major difference it makes.

[@cjang]

+Tristar Gym Are you doing anything particular with your legs in conjunction with that tricep push?

[@DC93p]

Firas, you have to do a video on shooting and getting takedowns without getting guillotine. PLEASE

[@tgF321jikko]

+DPhotis It's all about posture man. You want to keep your head up and your back straight. Make sure your shooting in with your legs and not bending your back. To make it a habit just look the ceiling when you shoot.

[@99SsZz]

+Malik Anbar wait why keep head up?

[@tgF321jikko]

MasterPrestige#fifa The key to finishing the guillotine is making the victim's head bend down so that their neck presses into your forearm. The best way to stop it is by keeping you neck straight and stopping them from pushing your head down. Firas or someone could explain it better, for I am just a blue belt.

[@Ofirleibeltrading]

what about garbing the waist with an under hook in half guard when you post your other elbow as a base or using the electric chair

[@CoachZahabi]

+ofir libel this is ok in my opinion only once you are out from under your opponent. I don't like to go to my elbow until I am out form underneath and sitting up.

[@Ofirleibeltrading]

okay today in class i tried to work with under hook like you showed in the video and it worked well
