[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s so awesome to hear!

[@jpreis2012]

I was one of the guys who asked you about back mount escapes. Just want to say thank you, that video is very informative. I really like the way you teach, a solution to every time the position changes or worsens. You dont thank me for watching your video, I THANK YOU for putting out such great content!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you like it! And I appreciate it a lot. You get a “thank you” whether you want it or not! Haha

Thank you so much for your time in showing these moves to us. As an upper white belt I've been getting stuck in back control quite a lot, but now I'm getting out of most of them. Thanks again.

[@efrainsandoval6480]

Everytime I look up a technique, your videos pop up and the thumbnail looks the most promising. Funny things is I never look at the creator's name to pick a video, yet always find yours. Thanks for the vids, I Have been away from the game for over a decade and these vids are helping me catch up where I left off

[@johnnysandoval9521]

I like how you give a lot of methodical detail fast

[@Jknudsen0523]

New white belt here headed to class. I appreciate the lessons Eli!

[@hotredtiger316]

Thank you for publishing those back mount escape options. They're very helpful. I'm familiar with the early escape and at least one variation of the frame escape that Gracie University (Rorion, Ryron, and Rener's newer, larger academy) teaches for their blue belt stripe one curriculum. These techniques have collectively saved me from back mount choke submissions as many times as my partners have attempted it while rolling. If nothing else, I remember to secure my partner's wrists and work toward getting my shoulders to the mat. Like you said in the video, any position is better than being back mounted. These are my essential take-aways from what you taught here, and I thank you again, Professor.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

+Fast Donny 316 Thank you very much. And yes, I got a lot of details from Rener, Ryron and several other people with the last name “Gracie.” They seem to know what they’re talking about:)

I'm definitely going to try these escapes. This month is back defense and escapes.

[@kylefee4822]

We are doing back escapes this month now

[@slowjamzradio]

I needed to learn this! Thank you for the great instruction. I would like to note that the videographer should change the white balance on the video from Auto to Fluorescent, or whichever setting looks best in your dojo. The reason being is because the mat constantly changes colors and it can be disorienting to the viewer.

[@brunonewyorker]

Bro, your videos are so awesome! A bunch of move at once, logically organized

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much!

[@leocaballerorojo2348]

Hi coach. I was trying to figure out a good escape plan from RNC after the attacker engages the turtle to take the backmount. Your video is enlightening, once more. The last two escapes are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for your dedication and all these precious materials! Greetings from Belize!

[@leocaballerorojo2348]

I have a question coach: do the last two defense moves work even when my opponent seatbelts using the fist in the overhook or some corrections have to be taken?

[@billphillips7830]

Loving your videos bro. All the techniques make sense.

[@lorrinf]

Thanks! Looking forward to trying this in class..

[@liyunsun4464]

Good video. The only flaw or issue I have with the instruction is that on the first three or four escapes, most back mount situations will not involve the hooks in first. It is usually almost always the seat belt position first. The first four moves only work when playing a situational drill trying to take the back with only the hooks in. The instructor should mention that as a caveat

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

+liyun sun That’s true to an extent, but during the hand fighting different variations and degrees of looseness happen with the connection. But I️ account for both seatbelt and non-seatbelt options. Thanks!

[@mummra7]

i like the move where if the guy is a novice and he overlaps his feet in front of you, place the far leg over his top leg and extend your legs...he just gave you an ankle lock. i saw that years ago in an amateur mma match where the guy in back thought he was about to get an easy rnc....and tapped to that ankle submission.

[@robertgould3919]

Super helpful advice, thank you! 🙏

[@traviszohfeld2215]

That last escape after you break the seatbelt puts in you in a decent position for a twister if you can work the position of the legs, as well.

[@traviszohfeld2215]

However if you’re not quick he’s going to remount, so it’s a gamble for sure.

[@Miguel-yc7qp]

Great as always!! You deserve the like in every video. Simple and usefull and very well explained. In which academy did you learn bjj?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

+Miguel Castellon Thank you very much! I have been a student of Royce Gracie for a couple of decades, and additionally I’ve been fortunate to train with some very amazing people.

Hi, Thanks for the instruction. I do pretty well with my weight and below, my belt level and below. I'll give this a shot with some of the black belts at our gym.

[@Tituspuppet]

Thanks, I just started BJJ and I was caught in this position last week and only knew one escape. I completely forgot about my hands crossed and leaning forward..

[@mmastrikeforce1]

I watch a lot of stuff since even before the internet. This stuff is good

[@Basicelements1]

I love the videos there a great refresher!!!! Also I love the escrima sticks more LOL :) Great videos thanks!!!!

[@mike-yp1uk]

There's some Jujitsu techniques that just don't seem to make sense and your Jujitsu techniques make perfect sense highly technical. Do you offer video DVD

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate that!

[@synergyrevolution2332]

1:07 I've seen Rener Gracie do an escape like this. He just holds on to each individual foot while staying bent forward. If the guy pulls him back his hooks get pulled up and apart so eventually he'd just bail from the back mount.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Very nice 👍🏼 - great moves. Thanks 🙏. Once you get that arm to the opposite side of your head, there’s also a Brabo Choke as you turn into him. I learned the seatbelt with the bottom hand on top of the choking hand/arm, that way when it is defended against you still have the choking arm free. I noticed the attacker had the seatbelt the reverse way, top hand over bottom one. Is that by design/your preference?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I prefer the bottom hand on top of the top hand for the seatbelt from the back, myself. for this video it didn't really matter when showing these escapes though, so I didn't specify how he did it. Thanks.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu gotcha - thanks 🙏. I know there are pros & cons for different ways of doing things, so I thought 💭 I’d ask. Always great videos.

[@willieleehendersonlll]

Beautiful escapes. I hate when people get my back lol

[@tylermarvier2666]

A person i go against always throws on a neck crank/ cover nose and mouth the disrupt breathing from back mount even if i defend.

[@loyalty266]

Can I ask you something? At the final stage what if instead of having a body lock he grabs your right arm with his right arm and with a triangle body lock locks your other hand while sneaking his left arm to your neck (or the opposite) ? (like Gordon ryan at ADCC) can you do anything? I know its a very rare scenario but it must be the hardest back control position to escape .Thank you for the amazing tutorials btw

[@itsthemuscledad38]

I wish I could download all this knowledge into my mind because it looks so simple when he explains things but trying them at my novice level I always forget some key parts to the move, escape, attack, sweep but these videos are so incredibly helpful makes complicated things seem easier

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That is a huge compliment. Thank you very much. If there’s ever a question you have that I can help with, let me know and I’ll do my best

[@ozzmann3217]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu I really appreciate that but quite honestly at the moment my questions would be a waste of time probably for all your viewers. I’m only my first month in I’ve learned a few critical moves and a guard pass etc, but even concepts of the guard and passing the guard and the fatal flaws such as posting arms to mat in the closed guard, and the most basic concepts I don’t comprehend yet because I haven’t been shown them yet... I really appreciate the willingness to help but I think maybe I’m too green to add any quality questions to the channel just yet... I appreciate all your videos because I am learning more every day though.

[@Inconsistent-Dogwash]

I have a question, how would you go about arm barring someone who is double joined at the elbow? I had this problem.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Take the arm across the hip. Watch how Rhonda Rousey would do it. Lots of the girls she fought were double jointed...it doesn’t matter at a certain point.

[@Inconsistent-Dogwash]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu thanks the guys had really odd elbows so I was struggling.

[@jasonstadler2591]

Just did back mount escapes in class last night. My trouble was that it worked while learning the escapes but as soon as my training partner locked in tight the skills we just learned didn’t work. Any tips?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I think the worse the position you’re trying to escape from, the more sensitivity, patience and sometimes explosiveness they require. If you’re trying to escape back mount, then person just needs to hold and stop you. The escape happens better when they are concerned more about getting the submission and less about positional control. So I guess what I’m getting at is try not to force the escape and try to get them focused on several things and divide their attention. Hope that makes sense.

[@qhurbagha8474]

Wow knowledge is power thank you

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you too!

[@conr0072]

When holding the rear mount, where do you have your stronger arm? Under or over shoulder?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I prefer to use my dominant arm over the shoulder, but to fall to my non-dominant side.

[@Miguel-yc7qp]

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

[@erictheawesomest]

I think this is a bit too complex for me at the moment, but one thing I can gleam is roll to the side

[@kurzninja]

At about 7:15, you have that straight arm, what’s preventing you from arm barring him across your chest? Especially if you turn your body a little away from him? Yes you’re giving him your back a little, but if you have his right arm he shouldn’t be able to get a grip around you. Still a white belt n00b so what am I missing?

[@mark6115]

Yes, armbar there but better to pull it over your head and put his elbow against you chin ,and pull side ways. My favorite sub if I get my back taken apart from getting them to cross their hooks and me getting a foot over it :)

[@a.sedaghat6717]

Thanks for sharing

[@ronque23]

Lots of good stuff here. I was a little concerned about the last one insofaras you are falling to the head on pillow side, even with the 2 vs 1 grip. But I'm presuming you are giving a worst case scenario for when you're being dragged to that side. Overall would it be better to attach with the 2 vs 1 to the underhook side?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

+Ronald Scott You’re correct in that I’m going by early to late on the escapes. I don’t want to be in any of these, but I try to address them in order of how bad/late I have to escape. The last is the worst, in my opinion and I would definitely not choose to go there if he didn’t force me there.

[@jpreis2012]

I am not a black belt yet, so take me answer with a grain of salt. But I think that if you try the 2 on 1 escape on the underhook side you give the opponent a free armbar, as seen on the Werdum vs Harris fight. So I think its better to try it the way professor Knight showed. :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha! I appreciate that. And I would definitely say every escape has an element of danger to it, requires lots of practice too. Thanks a lot, João!

[@Combatinho]

You give them an armbar if you do not control the arm properly. You should go to tricep control asap to avoid the armbar. Staying in the hand/wrist grip is the problem. Also, they can guillotine you with that grip. I use the 2 on 1 with the scoop and don't get armbared or choked. Also, I end up choking them with a brabo / darce or anaconda. Hope that helps.

Unrelated, but why do your videos always change color?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

The old videos, from over 6 years or more ago, had this issue because they were filmed in older iPhone models that I couldn’t lock the white balance on. My videos haven’t had that issue in quite a while now.

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

5:26. Why mess around? Perfect opportunity for an elbow to the groin, fight is over. Also you don't show the two easiest and most effective breaks for this. One, the ankle only has about 60 to 80 deg ROM. You have both hands free, and his feet are right in front of you. Do I really need to tell you to torque his foot to the outside? You can easily break an ankle like this. Second, reach up and grab his ear, you can easily tear it off. On the same vein, you can gouge an eye. He can lose an eye or ear or break the hold, his choice. You'll probably say something like "but that is against the rules", but I am talking practical application. After all, BJJ is often touted as "the ultimate street fighing technique". Well it's not, I just taught you three ways to break BJJ s strongest submission hold and end the fight. Owned
