How To Prevent Side Control

[@dredgearmstrong8517]

Love this type of video covering the details of how to avoid a bad position during transitions rather than just focusing on the escape after the fact. Thanks for putting this out for the community.

[@arjay1337]

And in 5 seconds I just learnt the answer to prevent knee slice passes..don’t let their leg be inside. Awesome

[@iriartef1]

Congrats for your black belt mestre.

[@gator7082]

Love the no nonsense approach to these concepts, they are very helpful

[@andrewkim6037]

That loop choke got me a tap tonight. Thanks Coach Tom!

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Thanks, Coach, and great cross over drill! Even better choke from half guard! You guys rule for taking the time to help us out here on the inter-webs.

[@aldemarguzman6686]

This video is gold, going to rewatch this a dozen times

[@mpageflint]

I nominate this video as, best bang for your buck 2018. In my book, you just won it at the finish line!

[@mouthguardcomic]

Yes!!! This is awesome. - I used to be a running back and never considered using the stiff arm to such a degree in BJJ.

[@BrianBirdy]

Thanks for this coach ! Just seeing you got your black belt. Huge congrats and best wishes for the rest of your journey 🙌🏻🥋

[@BL0HARD]

Thanks for putting these videos out. 1st video I’ve seen with the new belt. Congratulations!

[@RenAtkins]

Thanks Professor Tom, this just blew my mind a little as I've never tried any of these other than a basic stiff arm.

[@Frazful]

Not the first time I comment, you're one of my favs. Thanks mate.

[@bradford5681]

Thank you! Greetings from a 55 year old white belt

[@richardbartholomew542]

Great video as always Tom 👍🏾🥋

[@joshuaquesada5455]

Awesome choke definitely gonna try it out! Super thank you Professor!! Keep up with the awesome vids! And Happy New Year as well!

[@adammittermeier4623]

Like the rest of them, awesome video! I learn soo much from your way of demonstrating the techniques.

[@fuckbeingbroke2]

Thank you bro your helping my journey a lot

[@mediapajaoy]

Hooray for metric system!

[@FR-ty5vn]

Great 👍🏼 stuff. I’ve been focusing on a bunch of escapes, sweeps, & subs from Bottom of Side Control...but truth is I naturally stiff arm and shrimp my hips away to avoid getting caught there. Very helpful guidance & clever choke from Keenan. I’m thinking if you have the far side lapel & opponent moves forward you could catch a loop choke as well?

[@BNuggets]

Congratulations on your promotion!

[@ryanwilkins7080]

You make it look effortless, I on the other hand!

[@petermclean8243]

Guy is a wonderful human being on and off the mat, he will be snatched up soon lol

[@Nevrbetr]

Peter McLean aw shucks... thanks Peter - I think your pretty awesome too and have been integral in my BJJ journey! Go “the struggling grappler”!! 🤙

[@damirnikic2560]

[@nikkomachado688]

Thank you this helped so much

[@stacywallett]

Nice

[@tyhatfield7156]

Hey my brother thanks for that good tip on the over the arm triangle I was having a lot of trouble having some of my guys cause a Ressler I have a big long trunk I guess and a little legs! That absolutely was the missing key and I’ve been doing Jujitsu underneath Professor Pedro Sauer and other Jujitsu awesome instructors for since 1990 A little tip about bringing the knee up to block the head and then right there going over the top of the shoulder for a triangle awesome

[@rodrigozombie]

As a small dude that gets destroyed with side control....I like this a lot

[@landonmarx4753]

Love that cross over!! Where does that lead too??

[@taleyrantaleyran9233]

Wow you got a black belt, my congradulations coach Tom

[@rikh78]

it's Professor Tom now mate :)

[@taleyrantaleyran9233]

@@rikh78 bro i am sorry, it's not a disrespect, but in my country, i live in Caucasus, proffesors are like doctors, engeneers, people connected with science, and people who are in sport or martial art are called coach or trainer...so it wasn't disrespect, u feel me?

[@taleyrantaleyran9233]

Anyway i wanna thank professor Tom for his videos, many of them were very helpful ...

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

No disrespect taken! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey

G&K Ol' School ha ha - gotta love yourself before you can love anyone else (pretty sure Confucius said that, or was it RuPaul) 🤣

[@nicknelson9562]

What was the name of that choke again?

[@Nevrbetr]

Nick Nelson the “Flavio Canto” choke (he’s an amazing athlete and 2004 Olympic Judoka - check him out!)

[@pattyorigami]

5 ninjitsu practitioners dislike this video.

[@yoshiemusashi5702]

I am physically smaller then a lot of the guys in my gym and because of that most of what you show would only work against someone my size or smaller. against anyone bigger then me these ideas are useless for me. when will there ever be a juijitsu video on youtube that shows little guys how to get an advantage on people physically bigger and stronger than them? never that is when. this is all useless for me. I guess the only solution is for me to hit the gym and get bigger myself.
