Clearly no one there has watched Napoleon Dynamite

[@melvinatlas8753]

i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@chaseleonel7389]

@Melvin Atlas Instablaster =)

[@melvinatlas8753]

@Chase Leonel thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@melvinatlas8753]

@Chase Leonel It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@joshuablackheart]

Somebody needs to do a video on how to tie your belt for that white belt standing in the background

[@ozodeniz3857]

Well, there is a 12min video of Rener Gracie showing how to tie your belt 😅

[@TheSubieFan]

Lol I thought you guys were over reacting but nope that's pretty bad.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

@@ozodeniz3857 that's actually a 12 minute sales pitch for the online belt knot class that costs only 100 dollars a month from gracie university. featuring cm punk.

[@Bozothcow]

geez man that's pretty bad

[@healingleafwave6963]

Sadly some gyms dont give a frik about. Belts or gi. In the Army my company commander told me do you want to be a soldier. First you must dress like a solder then you have to act like a soldier work like a solder. You must feel like a soldier. Now your a soldier. I bring that to the BJJ table as a 1 strip close to my second stripe dress wise i put some of the higher belts to shame in appearance and hygiene in my school. Sadly

[@DanteSpinotti1]

I appreciate the way Keenan shares so much so openly. Seems like a great guy.

[@TheChiefSteel]

Keenan is so right about Johnson and Johnson tape. It has no equal. I've used it for around 8 years. It's product name is Coach Tape. I actually have also used this tape formation when my finger gets sore or injured. It's so perfect. I can't even count how many white belts over the years I've told about Johnson and Johnson.

[@AlwaysFearGod]

Wow he won in Japan with his broken fingers and I’m over here dying with my swollen pinky .

[@PauloBerni699]

This sooooo valuable right now! I've had really bad lingering radial twist injury on one of my fingers on a grip break from opponents leg, like KC. Huge THANKYOU!!

[@Initial_ZEN]

I haven't trained in a while, but that was awesome to watch. Very thorough tape job break down.

[@crpcrp]

Wow, I can't tell you how much better this made my finger today. Impossible to train on it two days ago, fine today

[@bmeng8195]

very informative and clear demonstration. thanks!

[@shanelstevens]

I didn’t even realise I needed to do this until you mentioned how your fingers feel. Mine are the same, I thought it was just the price you pay, so I’m going to try this today! Excellent video!

[@ROGUEGrappling]

Great tips and explanation! Thank you! 🙏

[@T.Rex33]

I used this taping technique this evening and it worked beautifully! Thanks!

[@colin9630]

How tight?

[@JVignochiFacasCustom]

Keenan é foda pra caralho, admiro de mais esse cara. Grande atleta.

[@JeeniusGaming]

The white belt @ 2:34 triggers me so hard

[@nawraskhalil2712]

Bwahahaha what even is that knot

[@Zesrii]

thats some next level ignorance lol

[@brucewayne8453]

Lol

Lmao

[@kaikkimoi]

Supreme alpha that whitie beltchi, does not give a FUCK!

[@pimentaaurelio]

He can probably roll a joint pretty well too.

[@willarn1]

Thank you Keenan!

[@yuriportes2606]

Beautiful, Keenan! I think I was able to do it right. I usually don't tape my fingers even when they're injured, but I guess thats stupid, so Im gonna start taping them. lol Thanx!

[@bmfrancs7575]

seems like one for the coolest down to earth people. Would be great to roll with him someday

[@Detroit_Playa]

Man this shit is on point my middle finger 2nd knuckle has been sprained bad for like two months now and I just tried this to see what it feels like and it’s amazing how the pain literally went away that quick with the tape. Without the tape my knuckle won’t let me make a closed fist without something feeling like it’s going to tear with the tape it feels completely normal lol. I guess my tendons are in the right spot for sure.

[@HerreraCam]

Excellent! Thanks.

[@westcoastflaneur]

dude on the right looks like the GOT wildling 😆

[@SalTarvitz]

awesome teacher, he said the blood flow would return as the tape loosens.

[@HopingTree]

Great tribute to Khabib! it’s been such an honor.

[@mikepeterson4061]

Thanks Keenan

[@Algebrodadio]

Great info.

[@jinxit]

Thank you Keenan, that was very helpful. I felt it at some level but hasn't been quite able to vocalise it. The first 2min is the cleanest explanation I've seen as to why people should focus on nogi and leave gi to masochists :-)!

[@Trekopolis]

The ears tell the story of the experience someone has in combat. ;)

[@dancarr8494]

That Rex Kwon Do reference lol

[@joshuamichael4312]

Thanks for this video. It's time I start taping my fingers and start using more over/underhooks instead of grips.

[@HexYeah]

I've been told to never leave the pinkie solo if your gonna use the buddy system as it can catch on something; index and middle go together and the ringer finger goes with the pinkie. Has anybody else been taught that way?

[@danielkunkler7293]

How do you do the thumb? Do you just tape up the meaty part or would you just do the second knuckle?

[@nature_Quran]

Keenan. I've been through 2 finger dislocations on my same middle fingers and the tendons tore at the middle joint. I'm suffering from boutonniere deformity because of that. It sounded like u suffered the same thing too. Do u have chronic pains now? I'm gonna try ur taping method.

[@sergioderosas6146]

Nice

[@Joyceages]

Usually I'd be mad and appalled by how many times you flicked off the camera but since this is probably the most comprehensive taping your fingers for Jiu Jitsu video I've seen I just have to say thank you Keenan.

[@changym1980]

Keenan I notice Ur belt is a mizuno with Japanese characters, is it Judo belt? Just curious

[@paulking4006]

i have bad arthritis little finger up near top of finger, ive just starting boxing on boxing bag and my little finger hurts so bad it start to throbb, would this tape strapping help..than u

[@freeko55]

Is it worth taping at a comp to get the extra grip?

[@strahinja95]

Great for stopping the injury getting worse. Here is the solution to the actual problem for us: Get your fingers stronger. Look up arm wrestling exercises and you will see that they do pull ups with towels with 2 grips: grip over the towels, and grip under the towels. To get more blood flow to the injured area and quicken the healing process do the following: Block the finger with your other hand so that you can only flex and extend the part that is damaged. Put about 1.25kg on the table. Move the object with only flexing and extending that part of the finger. Lots of reps, and do it often. I injured my ring finger holding spider guard too hard. The injury re-aggravated with towel pull ups, so beware of existing injuries. Best is to get them stronger before they get injured. Now that finger alone is holding me back from doing towel pull ups, and the rest of the fingers are fine thankfully.

[@scottiekemp2951]

I have a avulsion fracture on the inside of my top index finger. Will this taping method work for it? it's an old fracture

[@AndrewB416]

I've had the tendons pull pieces of bone off of my right index and middle finger. DO NOT let it happen to you. Happened when I was teenager and I am 37 now. My fingers are crooked and always in pain. PROTECT YOUR FINGERS.

[@jflo87]

That purple belt tho

[@anthonyfrank9578]

I like the Rex Kwon Do reference at 6:18

[@EJLynd]

I'm officially addicted to this method of finger taping... It works so good. And not like every finger is taped addicted. But every time a finger gets moved wrong I tape it... Question: How do you tape your THUMB???

[@BlakkInc]

Edward Lynd i need to know this too!

[@grom4life610]

We must know

[@danielsolares8305]

6:19 was the funniest thing ever and I didn’t even hear a single laugh

[@gibbacool2009]

Daniel Solares what did he say ? No more ..... solo, I missed one word there,was it “ fighting “ ?

[@6komodo6]

what's the tape name...Johnson and Johnson Coach?

[@jaytee6657]

Does anyone know if it's Coach or Zonas tape?

[@exaltedvisions4238]

I like how the bottom vid the finger looks like its turning purple lol

[@TheRichiesInPeru]

What size do you wear in Hyperfly? I'm 6'2 1/2 185ish, and I'm kind of inbetween on the size chart. Not sure to go with A2L or A3. I like a little looser fit, not baggy, but to allow for a little shrinkage. Thanks.

[@6komodo6]

same thing with me too..better go with a size up A3

[@Tizzavizza]

What about thumbs?

[@lordgrizzle]

Keenan is old-school man. I'be been doing this for years and I am 15 years older than him. great stuff!

[@wilfredocintron5985]

Where can i find this tape??

[@kwmf]

Johnson & Johnson have a few different tapes, which one is the correct one? I have been dealing with an avulsion fracture of my little finger for months now, so this has huge potential for me

[@kwmf]

I believe the correct tape is J&J Coach tape Tried it with local tape on a major finger sprain from this weekend .... rock solid. Drove up the road to my occupational therapist to make sure she knew how to do this. I will be hitting the mats again tomorrow morning to test it in battle :)

[@matthewahutcherson]

Is this something that I should do for maintenance or just when I have injuries? Should I be taping my fingers every class?

[@matthewahutcherson]

NM, he answered that at the end of the video.

[@eyen4700]

너무 세게해서 피가 안통하는데, 손가락엔 이상이 없나요???

[@matiasg713]

mizuno belt?

[@BboyRacing]

Doesn’t it cut the circulation?

[@Norfolkjiujitsu]

2:34 really grinds my gears

[@joeytan7986]

Is there like a type of glove that protects your finger joints without ruining your grips? It's annoying to have to put on and take off the tape after every session.

[@KaninTuzi]

I've seen people use little rubber bands

[@kevinramirez3392]

Would you tape your ring finger to your pinky finger if those were the two injured knuckles/fingers? Please hook it up with an answer 🤕🙏🏽. Also Congrats on your gold and silver!!!🙌🏻 Kicked ass bro

[@6komodo6]

turf toe is the worst...gonna tape it and wrestling shoes for few weeks...thnx Keenan

[@FazeFingaz]

Hi Keenan, I'm new to BJJ and I've been getting skin tears on my fingers. Am i gripping too hard or is this a common "injury" in this sport?

[@vmbrazilianjj]

its common injury, ive only just started to get it after 9 yrs of training, ur probably gripping too hard

[@DanielMorenoSoto]

It depends on your game, but don't worry, the skin will get harder later and it wont happen too much later.

[@KaninTuzi]

Your skin will harden in those areas, it's very normal. You can tape over them if you have open wounds.

[@nilssommer9517]

My Trainer said that if you use the buddysystem on your middle and Ringfinger, your pinky and indexfinger are more likely to bend over because the other fingers that are taped together cant support them anymore. Whats your oppinion on that ? Thanks for the helpful and badasslooking tapingtechnique;) Much respect and greetings from germany!

[@OVERCAPITALIZE]

You're correct. Its better to buddy ring and pinky together.

[@fritzdagger]

Well if your pinky is hurt you should probably tape your pinky. I don't really see how pinky is supported when you don't tape any fingers vs when you tape your middle fingers . But in this video I'm taping the middle fingers for protection of them

[@GregoryCarneiro]

Very good tip. I think in judo they do that all the time.

[@wealthlegend]

Keenan, did your middle finger ever get healed after the fracture? If so, did you just leave it or have surgery?

[@cakeboss5379]

keenan ain't got time for your shit pat

[@heshamlaradhi7092]

is it J&J Coach or Zonas??

[@jaytee6657]

Does anyone know?

[@natedepigeone]

Why the fuck don't you stream anymore on Twitch?! You're TRIGGERING ME KAPPA

[@skippygirl959]

Snapped my pinkie sideways so thinking I need to tape now

[@rayanslim]

Searching because hands are mangled. Watching this it occurred to me that we are fucking crazy. What we do to ourselves in this sport is kind of madness.

[@k.a.5332]

that Finger gets no blood tho

[@fritzdagger]

yes it does, i do this all the time and if you wrap it properly you finger has full circulation

[@k.a.5332]

But we have no Johnson's Johnson's in Germany...

[@k.a.5332]

Still good inside about not taping the finger when not injured, thanks for the knowledge bombs ool

[@k.a.5332]

I actually did this, but not with such technique you are showing. I also crossed it, but only 2 times and I didn't really knew the medical inside why taping fingers is helpful. But you are right, I will try your method and then judge. Sorry sensei please don't worm me 🙏🙏

[@vmbrazilianjj]

if u have no Johnson's Johnson's i would recommend wearthetape.com.au

[@tylerjones3954]

"I dont punch people".... "usually" lmao

[@colin9630]

How tight do you want it?

[@qstogg7955]

4:26 starts

[@szabolcsporga3718]

His fingers are red on top, isn't that too tight? 😅 Great explanation tough 👏

[@WhitecatProject]

at last a famous guy told to the bjj tribe that they do not need to tape unless injured. I hope now all the amateur players will stop wearing tape at the gyms to show that they are good in bjj. I was sick and tired of going to my gym and feeling like I am in a judo world championship with all this tape.

[@marianamarino126]

WhitecatProject I noticed my skin had been ripping off from grips, so I am.getting tape to use to prevent skin rips. maybe that's why people at your gym wear them because of that.

[@bryanharvill5054]

the video in the bottom left of the corner.... the tip of his finger is about to pop off.... lmao

[@johnathenmcdonald4803]

Am I the only one that caught that Napoleon Dynamite reference.😂😂😂

[@xpat73]

You can buy good finger tape that it already cut to that thinness.

[@saz1098]

xpat73 what tape is that ?

[@johnjohnes5831]

sa z tatami finger tape

[@christopherlewis4595]

I really like this tapping method but your video is very confusing and hard to follow!! First off in your main video you're tapping your left hand, but in your window it's the right hand.. . So makes it hard to follow!!! Wouldn't be so bad if the window didn't cover up half of what your doing, but if you just try to follow the window one, it's out of frame half the time!!!🙄😒 Could we please make this tapping video again only with these issues addressed? Thank you for your videos and your time!😁 Ps, 2:34😂🤣😄😅

[@yvesouza514]

His finger is turning purple but ok.

[@greenburrito123]

i broke my pinky and im gonna do my first tournament in 23 days

[@dylanhasbrouck8805]

Eddie Boo how'd it go?

[@vmbrazilianjj]

how would you compare this method - facebook.com/Wearthetape/videos/556189734534243/ to your one

[@vladx3539]

the color of the finger tip wasn’t healthy

[@krushinghead]

purple belt is cute as fuck.......

[@letscrushit5253]

Buy Johnson & Johnson or B.J.J.

[@flyingtomato2523]

Seems great. But perfusion to the finger looks like crap. Lol

[@ufcfanthehouse6]

Okay any Ladies here in 2019 just thinking all kinds of crass thoughts about those knuckles ?! Ribbed for pleasure !!!! Also the buddy tape helix scenario?!!! Mmmmm what if he wrapped up a shocker?!!! 💖💖💖

[@iwanttoburntheworld461]

Jiu-jitsu freaks are petty and annoying

[@kubikiribasara3499]

I have a a good idea based on personal experience: just don't train in a damned gi. I had injured fingers for years and then decided to ditch the japanese farmer's costume and lo and behold I stopped getting finger tendonitis and swollen knuckles. Just sayin.
