Get Off The Ground With These 6 Techniques

[@hard2hurt]

I appreciate that you are a bjj guy but you recognize that the answer is not always inverted berimbolo to something-oplata and that it's ok to want to stand up and punch somebody.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

100% correct man. And I think most BJJ guys realize the context whether they train for it or not. The training is the thing 👍

[@hard2hurt]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu yeah maybe I was a little unfair to the pajama guys haha. I know that anyone good understands it if they thought about or were asked... you're right it's just that it gets less attention during training/mat time.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

No doubt. To me the only real problem is when sport players think they have all they need to seamlessly transition to a fight. The same can be said for self defense guys that think they can compete against high level sport guys with just their mode of training. It’s ok for people to recognize the difference, and even a good thing. I just wish there was more agreement for the benefits of each and how each can help the other, as well as where the overlaps and differences reside. Whether than just feuding and I fighting between factions. Not saying anything in contrast to your statement. Just adding more opinions into the conversation. Thanks for the great comments!!!

[@jscarpa2002]

Getting up and getting the hell out of a bad situation is probably a good idea too. And makes you look good if you end up in court. Duty to retreat etc makes you look like you are not the aggressor. :)

[@railroadtrash09]

@Semper Fi = tool

[@fightwithbiomechanix]

This is exactly why I subscribed to your channel. As a stand up fighter this is huge for me. Thanks Knight Jiu-Jitsu!!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@edp445sbroomstick7]

I am also better at standup so that’s why I subscribed to with you bro

[@voknows]

That knee on belly escape was so slick!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you. I honestly don’t remember where I learned it originally but it has saved me several times! Glad you like it

[@kristofferlordfernandez1360]

Thats my idol. Straight to the point. No boring instructions or whatever.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Wow! I really appreciate that greatly!

[@kristofferlordfernandez1360]

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.

[@salimelyazidi306]

Honestly,i dont know why i just came across ur content, i was always looking for someone who focuses mainly on self defense aspect of the art, i dnt care about those fancy movements that works only in competition or sparring where strikes are not in the equation. Ur material is spot on and i love the fact that u dnt put too much emphasis on finishing with a submission but more on standing upand getting the# out of there, and thats pretty much the thing abt street fights where u dnt know exactly wht situation u are in( like friends around, familly nearby, weapons nearby...etc). U got a sub here. Keep up the good work sir.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate that comment. I try to emphasize the self defense aspect primarily but do include more sporty stuff from time to time. I’ll be sure to try to keep it balanced though. Thank you again!

[@davidbarcia5266]

You are a source of motivation. Thanks for making it look so easy master. 100% following your Knowledge in my next workout again. Best regards from Spain. Bless

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

¡Muchas Gracias! I really appreciate the comment.

[@TheAytchMan]

THAT KNEE ON BELLY ESCAPE WAS FRICKIN' AWESOME! As always Professor, your videos are on point! Thanks again for the great instruction. I don't know if you're on the psychic hotline with my professor or what, but your content seems to parallel what I'm learning each week or so. Whatever it is, keep these great videos coming!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s great to hear! I hope it’s helpful then. Thanks!

[@wingoreviewsboxingandmma3667]

thanks for this video. This is very important for self defense and mma

[@kellyokamoto1604]

Hey Eli, as always, sharp, crisp technique with straightforward delivery to bolster my "street self-defense" readiness1 Thanks!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! I appreciate it greatly!

[@nursechase1]

Love these...practical and universal. When somebody knee on bellys me it is like they push a button. I immediately use my same side knee too push them forward while at the same time hipping out and grabbing there leg they used on my belly, like a single leg...often taking top position. Your move will give me another tool for those that learn my trick ;)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Love it man. Sounds like your move and this one would be a good combo!

[@ivanlee1445]

Those techniques are also not only escapes also sweeps which can be used in street fight also bjj !! thanks for uploading a good video ! :)

[@michaelspyrou1784]

perfect. this video should have had a 200k views. bravo.

[@saymyname3097]

I enjoy looking at your videos. You put the bjj action in a mma fighting context. Simply love it.

[@Stuntsandtricking]

The things, you teach reminds me of the stuff they teach in the carlson gracie system, simple an effective stuff easy to understand. I really like the knee on belly attack video, that armbar where you step back over there head an pull the arm up, i been hitting it on a lot of rolls, and also kinda turn it to a triangle set up. thank you !!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s awesome to hear. I’m glad you got something out of it. Thanks!

[@Stuntsandtricking]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu yes definitely did, no thank you bro, fr appreciate the knowledge

[@josepsmaravilla2183]

Muy buenas técnicas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

De Nada! Gracias!

[@Chandasouk]

Yes, standing up from guard is amazing. It's like a cheat code!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha! Good way to put it

[@sunrisemartialarts8965]

Always brilliant, Master Eli Thank you so much !

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My pleasure always. Thank you so much!

[@michaeldavenport1377]

So much practical info on this one. Just the position changes in regards to getting up or changing position. Good one!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@FR-ty5vn]

Excellent moves!!! I often use that stiff arm/bump to the hips to escape mount - sometimes it can get you right out (pulling the knees in or literally throwing the guy off) - one question, if he’s knee on belly punching you in the face, isn’t he already mad? 😆

[@shanesummers1458]

Love your stuff mate, also bjj guys and Even a lot of MMA fighters have a tendency to just pin themselves or accepting a position instead of just scrambling and looking to stand up back to an even position or top game

[@noahwalt492]

Eli Knight is so smart, skilled and pleasant to learn from Respect from Calgary!

[@peteragren7568]

Awesome! I was just thinking about techniques like this because I have problems holding guard and more problems retaining guard and pass prevention. You are my knight in shin... ok, I’ll be quiet now.

[@MoonLight-zd3sb]

One of the best BJJ you rubes channels!!! Thanks for creating content

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!!!

[@mariomavarez6851]

Excelente vídeo. Muy bueno

[@JonathanHebert]

Awesome Eli. Have to try all of this with a duty belt and body armor now, you got me intrigued. You should do a ashi garami series. I wanna see your take on it. I like how practical your stuff is. Keep it up! Greetings from the north!

[@JonathanHebert]

BTW Im intrigued because when we teach defensive tactics we always talk about tactical repositionning to have a better of accessing a tool or get out of a bad situation. Thanks again for the content.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely! Both of those topics are passions of mine. I have a few ashi entries and finishes on my instagram too if you get a chance to check sometime. Thanks!

[@kaser666]

You've been so generous with your knowledge. Keep up the good work

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It doesn’t help anyone keeping it to myself 😊

[@marloncueto2671]

Mr.Eli thanks for uploading an excellent video. keep doing it we'll look for your next video.could you please make a complete variations of rear naked choke and americana.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s a good idea! Thank you

[@chrisgreenwood271]

I'll be watching this numerous times over, the knee on belly escape is impressive keep up the great work, I'm sure it's much appreciated by all who subscribe. 👍

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you like these. And yeah, that knee on belly escape saves me a lot.

[@AnaeKhalid]

Thank you so much, so amazing

[@roninvaletudo3813]

Great techniques for self defense. More instructors should include the possibility for strikes in their bjj game.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@pedroguerrero3862]

That was great, I was wondering the name of the bottom guard used in 2:17. It sorta reminds me of a set up for a omóplato.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Definitely a good setup for triangles and omoplatas from there. Often called the triangle guard or pyramid guard.

[@vladtheimpaler9118]

Awesome advice

[@NoverMaC]

Thanks a ton! incredibly useful and valuable for someone not experienced in BJJ :P

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad to hear it! Thanks

[@oneguy7202]

[@itsjustme9354]

[@dermotpayne01]

Fantastic thanks so much

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My pleasure. Thank you!

[@Vojislav011]

Superb videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you think so!

[@BecozPro]

I really liked this video. I'm just curious as to why you initially disregarded the value of stomping kicks to the knees from your back? I would've thought that such an attack could easily take out someone's knees?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I think it’s a valuable tool, but shouldn’t be relied upon too heavily. I just done want anyone thinking it’s guaranteed that it will drop someone when you kick them in the knees or groin. If it does, then great, but it’s not reliable.

[@BecozPro]

I can't say I've ever full power tried to kick someone's knees out from my back, but I would've thought with some of the strongest muscles in the body all lined up pushing in the same direction it would pack quite a punch (well, kick). I've seen it taught that you just line up and start kicking like you're on a maniac bicycle if there's just one opponent. Regardless, thanks for the vid and thanks for replying!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. And I think blasting those knees is a great idea but just not to be too concerned with the result. Get the space and get up is what I would suggest. Thanks!

[@trevonharris284]

What about mounted standing up position? Do you throw them forward to get there palms to touch the ground to then use this technique and what if it’s someone larger then you?

[@practicalcombatscience8084]

Nice guys.... Good stuff

[@j_bourne6496]

Good stuff brother.

[@manncavemoment]

How would these work with shoes on or flip flops or crox and what Environment would you think would be best to use These techniques and I just thought about how would you Escape being chocked on the ground or even some chock holds on the ground

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Good question. I don’t think normal shoes would make a lot of difference but flip flops may be a hindrance. And I don’t have a video on choke escapes on the ground yet but I have a headlocks on ground escape video close to that topic 👍

[@syedrahman8432]

Very clean

[@maxwillems8200]

Hey Eli, I'm still a white belt, but I fell in love with BJJ ever since I started with it. I've now been doing for a year or so, and I recently startes competing. The problem is my age. I'm 15 years old, and alot of the smaller tournaments here in the Netherlands don't have a juvenile devision, which means I have to compete with the big guys. The last time I competed against adults was in February, and I got second place, but nevertheless, I feel really scared. Any tips? Thanks for your help, cheers from the Netherlands!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Big shoutout to The Netherlands! I understand completely. Firstly, be safe when competing in those upper divisions, skill and size-wise. Training is the only real answer. Just more training. To be less generic, I would suggest being very constant in movement, which makes it difficult to deal with. Most of us are very stop and go, and constant movement is very hard to handle. Also, focus on not losing rather than winning (when dealing with much bigger or more advanced opponents). Defense first and seamless transitions between defense and offense. Hope any of this makes sense. Cheers!

[@maxwillems8200]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu Thanks for the advice man! I'm not even sure if I'm going to compete at all. Normally, I compete for the fun of it, but now I'm more focussed on winning and losing. Never really had this mindset, but I guess it's because of the fact that I'm going up to stronger opponents. Nevertheless I will keep this advice in mind for the future! Bedankt voor je hulp, het wordt zeker gewaardeerd! ("Thanks for the help, it's heavily appreciated" in Dutch. Just the idea of you trying to pronounce it makes me laugh, lol)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Hahahaha. I’m trying to pronounce it now

[@MrMD-xm5fi]

Due to my interest to BJJ, this channel feed my couriosity ... keep health Sir ...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Always happy to help! Thank you for watching.

[@thiagohenrique2176]

Finally some good bjj stuff.

[@oldnatty61]

Hey I'm all about getting off the ground.

[@bradock391]

Vc é o melhor

[@brendonwalker7728]

amazing.

[@88hyperman]

This would be good defence against bjj guys too!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Good point!

[@a.s.vieira7846]

That's my point: make it simple and it always will work

[@gregdaniels1559]

Ģreat material Eli

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks Greg!

[@h__5385]

Yes

[@carlosvargas1707]

Thanks for this video im one of those ones that is better striking so this is my abc

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@MeerkatMotorBoards]

gold

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

🙏

[@tristanclaxton9329]

Even if you're a striker in a street fight I think that you should learn a little bit of jujitsu you because there was finishing opportunities From all lose examples Neebours arm bar Even to the point where if you are in a street fight you can break

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Excellent question! It does involve the leg so I could see it getting sweep points and being considered an open guard sweep. But since it is technically a dominant position reversal, I could see the ref not giving points. I need to get a good answer for this.

[@tristanclaxton9329]

That's the one issue I have with my cademy is there in my mind too focused on sport jujitsu and there should be some street Defense Lessonsns added in

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I understand. And the sport is super fun and challenging and awesome. That’s why I try to focus on overlapping concepts so both sides enjoy the training.

[@ディアスブラザー209]

nice✨

[@z.martin8118]

nice

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

🙏

[@vincesalamat1617]

I love your videos and you break it down as much as possible but I notice KZbin does it slow where the guy is chillin or too fast to understand . I have an instructor and he does similar moves which is why I follow video. BUT YOU TUBE NEVER SHOWS A SLOW TECHNIQUE, FAST TECHNIQUE BUT THEY NEVER HAVE A BEGGINER THAT PEOPLE CAN SEEE A BEGGINER MAKE MISTAKES AND CORRECT THEM. I HAVE NO SEEN ONE VIDEO ON ANYONE WHERE A PERSON IS JUST STARTING AND PROVIDING THE PROPER RESISTANCE. I think people can Lateran better that way. I have a jui nits instructir private from my friend and meanwhile he doesn’t have black belt he’s knows his shit and he’s awesome at grappling and wrestling soWhen he became good at jujitsu he had one up on them because he Brought wrestling and the grappling with him so he was like owning black belts. But yeah that would be nice if you could show videos of beginners of people making the mistakes as they do in the moves providing with distance and correct them

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I understand what you’re saying, but the difficulty with showing that on video is that there are certain elements of that teaching method that don’t translate to video. And you risk the viewer picking up on incorrect movements of the person making the mistake without recognizing the mistake. It is a great classroom teaching method for face to face, but just doesn’t work as well on video. In my opinion and experience anyway. Thank you for the suggestion and observation though.

[@DandyAndy1472]

are these trustable ?

[@goudagrishhdoe8925]

I’m here cuz my girl is getting way too good at play fighting lol

[@lukedynamite4210]

Knee on belly , will use it from now on . ( ps ) i know it will piss pepole off when i do.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It has gotten me out of some bad ones for sure. I hope it helps for you too!

[@jamieennis232]

[@roberth9704]

Well, you're pretty bad A**............... that knee in the ribs is a stopper

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Not a bad ass at all - that’s why I have to have my tricks 😊

[@joshh8430]
