Brian! Thanks for sharing brilliant techniques! Post back escape, please.

[@bzglick]

Thanks for watching - we’ll cover escaping the back in an upcoming vid 👍🏼

[@LyfordJL]

You’re videos are top notch! Very clean, concise, articulate instruction. You can clearly see the danaher influence in your teaching. You deserve 50k more followers. Keep it up!

[@bzglick]

We're working on it! Thanks for the compliments :)

[@joeamapani297]

Thank you Mr. Glick , i’ll be trying this tonight!

[@bzglick]

Nice - keep me posted

[@JohnConnorsMMA]

Why does your right hand grab your left wrist, instead of vice versa?

[@bzglick]

Top hand supports the bottom wrist as a wedge against the shoulder 👍

[@JohnConnorsMMA]

Thank you

[@bzglick]

Anytime

[@jg1000c]

I see it done both ways. Watch bodini's pinch headlock series. I love these techniques. You can sweep in both directions.

[@MrZaku73]

Hi Brian! I absolutely love your content, and personally I would like to see your opinion on straight ankle locks, especially in gi : how to prevent oponnent from escaping it, what to do when he gets rid of the outside foot, or how to finish the submission when he grabs my collar, to prevent my back from getting straight. That's my struggle for quite a long time now, and I still cant come up with a good answer..

[@bzglick]

Nice topic - execution of straight achilles gives plenty of people trouble. We’ll cover some of this soon

[@ramazanalibutaev4759]

+1 to my game , thanks Master !!

[@bzglick]

😊😊😊

[@witte2702]

i generally favour sumi gaeshi towards the side of the shoulder crunch - does going towards the non-shoulder crunch side give your opponent more potential to post (with the non trapped arm) to prevent the sweep? If there is potential to post, is there differences to account for which side you sweep towards?

[@bzglick]

Yes with shoulder crunch usually this is true. Pinch headlock mechanics are different - pressure in the shoulder and direct control of the head is strong enough to sweep either way. The arm is free to post but insufficient to stop the sweep.

[@1987msr]

@@bzglick thank you so much for sharing this, I had the same exact question!

[@Breeze954]

still using this : D

[@vincechanhealthy6373]

do you ever see the shoulder crunch arm lock working with the pinch headlock, or is the grip not the correct angle to finish the armlock?

[@rickb_NYC]

What is the equivalent of the pinch headlock with the gi? Also, I like the detail of off-balancing with the same technique as the previous video, but here in the opposite direction. And..."process-driven Jiu Jitsu".

[@bzglick]

Thank you. Pinch headlock works with the gi in the same manner - a good transferrable skill to have :)

[@bjjdoug7151]

Really good

[@bzglick]

Thanks!

[@undefeatedundisputed1291]

If available can you clamp his other shoulder?

[@timothyobrien4785]

Hey Brian - is the knee lever sweep viable when I get the pinch headlock from bottom half guard? Like instead of transitioning out of the half guard (and potentially losing my grip/pinch headlock) - just go for the knee lever sweep right away? Wondering your thoughts on this. thanks.

[@bigc4290]

Bit random but there's a small part in this where you underhook with the tightwaist (then eventually go high). Do you have any tips for not getting Darced when doing this? I see you blocking the far arm, maybe that's part of the answer. Thanks and great content!

[@bzglick]

Yes - blocking the far hand helps. I try to avoid the waist grip if my head is deep inside for just this reason. If you need to use the tightwaist keep the transtion to the shoulder quick :)

[@RogerRabbit123]

What about your opponents left hand? Can't he just use this hand as a post to prevent the sweep?

[@bzglick]

No - that extended arm isn’t sufficient to prevent the sweep 👍🏼
