Speaker 1: All right, guys. We're going to do a Can Opener which is a move from. Georges St. Pierre really likes to do it.
I'm going to show you the traditional variation and then I'm going to show you a variation I learned from Tim Katoffo, who is a catch wrestler. It's not a traditional Jujitsu move but I really like it. You have to be careful of the sweep but if you catch an opponent by surprise, it's really nice because you don't have to worry about the arm hold. Okay?
So, I'm in the guard, and I want to break his guard. I want to pass him, so I'm going to shoot up and just pull his head. Right. Now, I'm going to be throwing elbows here. Now, the one thing he's got to be careful of, he's going to push my head up, and my arm extends, and then there's an Arm Bar.
Speaker 2: Tap.
Speaker 1: So we don't want that. Right?
So I never want to extend my arms here. Right, there's that Arm Bar. Tap.
We don't want that so I'm going to shoot forward here. Now, here, I'm going to show a nice little variation. Boom. You can just tap him here but sometimes it's hard to tap him. Usually you see Georges St. Pierre throwing elbows, which is good, right?
But what you want to do is drive forward and then sit up here and push his head down. Now, even if you don't tap him here, right, you've just broken his guard. Okay?
All right. One more time. I'm here. Boom. Boom. He has to open his guard, boom, you can control it. Really great move.
Now, what you have to be careful of is this. When you drive forward he doesn't get underneath your legs and sweep you. Right? You're like oh. You don't want that. Okay?
So what you've got to do is keep your legs behind you. Reach through my legs. Reach through my legs, Jack.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He can't, and I feel him reaching for my leg, here, I maneuver his head. I push down, boom, and that's the Can Opener.
Okay? Very effective move.

[@moushum]

wow its nice but i was searching for real can opener to open a can.....haha

[@EdvinAhadi]

jonnies i was looking for my dad

[@USFighter]

Thats what I use the can opener for. To open the guard if you practice it a lot you'll become fluid in passing the guard.

[@DeagleBeagle]

Hated Out Yo How does it open the guard? I didn't see the legs used for countering the choke at all just the arms.

[@USFighter]

DeagleBeagle When you pull someones head to their chest their legs open up, usually. Ask someone to do it to you.

[@coreycollins4047]

DeagleBeagle opening legs relieves pressure

[@Joez86]

Not something you wanna do to your training partners. Street fight, yes. Too many variables in the neck and lower back. Damage can come very easy (before tapping). More emphasis on safety with this move should have been stated.

[@jay8819]

Joez86 its banned in most competition. can't get safer than that

[@jay8819]

Joez86 shouldn't be getting into street fights. if you do, you NEVER want to go to the floor. and I'm brown belt in ju jitsu

[@Joez86]

Jay Plant agree completely .

[@ooglaboogla555]

@Troublein 421 why wouldn't you want to go to the floor if it is one on one?

[@Joez86]

ooglaboogla555 concrete is not made of mat material. You try Putting a triangle (from the bottom) on someone, be ready to have your body and head lifted and smashed on cement. If it goes there (the ground), fine. But stand up should always be first choice. Just my 2 cents. Now if there's grass around ... Different story :-))))

[@343298918]

1:09 wife: what on earth are you doing!!?

[@omegaalpha8995]

thank you for your can opener, i am a beginner and this is probably the most simple but effective technique, but i found that it's more difficult to choke someone that's stockier and bigger than you, but you can definitely open up their guard. Thanks

[@gennifermartinez7961]

the title mislead me

[@LimeGreenCouchPotato]

Just be super careful with this. I got hurt at my gym by a blue belt doing this to me yesterday, it is not legal at my gym since it can be considered a spinal crank. Just take care of your partners yall.

[@jesusurbina1258]

Should’ve tapped or opened your guard brother

[@austindennis2503]

@@jesusurbina1258it’s not his fault at all

[@mjolnir9855]

Check out the counter to this by Luis Heredia of Pedro Sauer JiuJitsu Association. There’s a counter to everything in grappling, even the can-opener. Know all the counters for yourself.

[@alonesamurai5725]

Illegal in tournaments, legal on streets lol

[@pbwilson125]

So what exactly are you doing with your arms when you're in the CanOpener

[@sulayaman1]

Never seen this one, very nice!

[@ZanOGAL]

[@ainsleycripps6593]

Not illegal in canadian tournaments when I fought. I won with it a few times.

Note to self : try can opener but from the back.

[@vaidas_ma]

Nice. Now back to watching Wanderlei being pounded by Chael

[@TheDavidG27]

Why would someone tap on this? Are you going to brake the neck?

[@gowthamgowda3216]

[@iftikharahmed8206]

I think howcast have fake subs because they don't get that much likes or views

[@milesmoore8718]

Iftikhar Ahmed they make a wide variety of videos not just MMA, so your gunna get niche amounts of viewers looking for what they need

[@elgaraycs3214]

This is gay?!

[@raymondbertone5455]

“Very effective move” against trash people lol

[@zMadoka]

@atl amapichtli I see, also people searching about this

[@Ali_0h]

I really dislike these kinds of techniques. I rather stick to the classic stuff such as armbar, triangle and a good guillotine.

[@MrEVERYDAYAMERICAN]

Soooo..... don’t use it. I don’t understand your logic though. It works or creates an opportunity to pass guard. Once guard is passed then use “classic” techniques.
