Jiu-Jitsu Escapes | 5 Ways Out of Headlocks on The Ground

[@hotredtiger316]

That detail with the shoulder lock for the punch block defense is brilliant, Eli. Thanks for showing that, sir.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks man!

[@johnneydoe]

You are a natural born teacher...thanks for the instruction.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much!

[@duwaaninelson9655]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu Can you please check out the video called "Kash teacher beats student".They were both struggling and the question is want to ask about is the part of they were holding hands.Please tell me and the love your videos.

[@duwaaninelson9655]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu And plus the video is from 2009

[@michalislagoudakis4201]

As I have been practicing in judo and now being sensei there are few similar tecnhiques in both systems.Good work keep going..

[@tjl4688]

Coming back to this after seeing Renzo get headlocked in NYC.

[@tees4382]

The face gouge demonstration was entertaining. Great techniques and explanations.

[@TitoMcFadden]

This is the best Kesa Gatame escape video I have seen yet. I need options in case my initial escape attempts fail. This video provided those alternatives. My gripe with most "headlock escape" tutorials is how they're mostly dependent on the person on top not knowing any grappling techniques. Those techniques don't work on Judokas that will instinctively try to flatten you and press on your diaphragm with their weight. Anchoring that elbow to stay on your side is crucial. I'm glad that was emphasized. Good stuff. Thanks. I definitely will be applying what I learned here.

[@Unknown-ni7gb]

I was messing around with my mate, had him in a kesa gatame for jokes and let go of my grip a bit and was straight into a headlock video helped a ton! Cheers

[@harderheart]

One the most technical coach on KZbin. Thank you I'm glad I found your chanel sir

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much!

[@defaultgreen]

At 1:34 when he says scoop his hips up. What does he mean? Can't really see

[@ApricotData474]

Right! I love his explanation. I wish I could go to his gym

[@timothylacouture1113]

Thanks for posting this, I will definitely save this one

[@japinoybettajapan]

🤩 simple demonstration boss but very effective

[@edp445sbroomstick7]

Thank you so much! This makes me more confident in self defense and I will continue to review this and look at more techniques because I need a little more help in ground fighting than in striking. Thank you so much!

[@Good.shepherd420]

I've done this 100 times and never heard the airplane thing, thats going to help me teach this better, thank you.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m happy to hear that helps!

[@المالوالأعمال-ف9ظ]

Perfect , its the first time i feel happy when watching a martial Arts video . Wish you the best ...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate that comment!

[@igodgirl1390]

As a writer that's never been in a fight, I really appreciate the video. And that I actually might survive a fight if I get in one. XD

[@cloud_monkey422]

You should totally just sign up for a jiu jitsu class whether it’s Gi or no Gi. Just for the fun, exercise, friendships etc. it’s such an amazing atmosphere. I’m only like 8 classes in and i suck so bad but my Instagram is full of me praising that class haha You never know how much you’ll surprise yourself

[@TrishCanyon8]

Im taking notes on this! So many people quit in the beginning because they get treated like a grappling dummy and this is not necessary to learn. I'm not quite a year in and just starting to do positional light sparing with a partner at home. School it's just lessons still. Please do yourself a big favor and go do some jiu-jitsu. Just find the right school.

[@VLOneWay]

i like the "airplane" thats really usefull.

[@emiliodelia5300]

Agreed, great detail.

[@jessekappler4160]

thanks for the vid! i literally just got tapped by a dude 60lb smaller than me (we started from the knees so no slamming) and i underestimated his strength/speed. Long story short he got me in the headlock with my arm trapped and I had no idea what to do so I had to tap. I legit thought I was just check mated with no options. Now when we rematch I'll be prepared :D

[@deltabravo1969]

Your instruction is straight and simple. Thank you.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@isaiahtrevino213]

The second escape was beautiful just the position I was looking for thank you

[@isaiahtrevino213]

This is useful because most unexperienced people will just go straight for the headlock

[@jccharly2000]

love all your vids professor!! Amazing!!

[@Jedi_Jed]

I don’t practice BJJ yet but your explanations are easy to understand. Thank you for all these videos.

[@Rich32262]

Fantastic! Great attention to detail.

[@johnnyblaze373]

I'm learning more here than at my school, I feel im paying my fees at the school just to train with other people and use the stuff i learn from here.

[@VladDrac01]

The quality of these videos are very impressive. Solid self-defensive jiu-jitsu techniques with great explanation during the demonstrations🤙

[@ricodsanchez6792]

I can't wait to get back into bjj missed it so much

[@mariaramos4498]

I love how you explain, youre great!!

[@peterciampa4241]

Once again you never disappoint

[@Butterflylo328]

Thanks, like always good information 👍

[@mc4056]

Thanks! This is going to help alot my teacher didn't even recommend some of this!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad it helped and thank you so much for the Super!

[@mc4056]

@KnightJiuJitsu Yeah no problem I catch everyone in a kesa katame and no one can reverse it on me haha. Keeping the reversal in my back pocket in case I get caught.

[@KingsteveTV]

I only play dirty if the dude is actually trying to kill me but other than that i fight pretty fair even if i am losing

[@motif5775]

Thank you...I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m very happy to hear that.

[@Rrrremguy]

VERY well explained, everything is presented in a progressive, logical manner, anticipating questions or difficulties, and all in a cerebral-yet-accessible style that I happen to like very much. I really wish had had you as a teacher (in my youth, that is!). I have heard the grappling arts described as "physical chess", in which case, I would consider you a Grandmaster. Great channel, keep up the good - no, excellent - work!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Wow! What a fantastic compliment and comment. Thank you!

[@cornickbirdhead9036]

Thanks for the headlock move to get out, long time ago a good wrestler took me down headlock on the ground It was lights out for me.

[@James-if4zw]

we do these exact techniques in Gracie combatives. Good stuff!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yessir! Straight Gracie Jiu-Jitsu here.

[@bla7091]

Especially the shoulder lock is excellent! I'd guess that if it slips loose, you could even attempt a shoulder lock on the other arm by continuing to rotate till you're facing up, or a triangle choke. Great work as always!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yes, the triangle is right there if he slips his arm out! Thank you!

[@BLADE-gn1xz]

Love your work man

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@jackburton2653]

The leg scissors strangle is a favorite technique of mine but one I rarely see demonstrated. Great video!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Same here!

[@jorgeherrera1074]

AWESOME vid thanks :) I'm 1 and a half months into bjj and I finally had a session where only one person submitted me, and it was a purple belt, went a full session without getting submitted by a blue belt and 3 other high rank white belts! Thanks for all this information :D

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s awesome to hear. Thanks!

[@lionsdenjitsu5172]

As usual, you are killing it Eli. Keep it up

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks, Chad!

[@35000c]

Great to see u concentrate on the bigger picture by looking to other martial arts like judo 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@gettingoutthere.9981]

Thanks for the great videos, they're much appreciated. I especially like the concept of "taking off like and air plane, not a helicopter". Also like the arm tie up detail to hinder strikes.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@mendilevy6017]

thx. thorough explaination like all the videos. although i know the techniques your little tips do the all diffrent.

[@Individual_Lives_Matter]

The Kesa Getame escape works really well. I suck but I can do it to better guys. Kurt Osiander does a version where you almost spoon the guy, then turn your hips upward, bridge (bring their head to the floor) and turn. They feel pretty light once you load them so far north.

[@andresmaldonado7356]

Love the videos. Heads up, Title has typo in Headlocks

[@MZITinfo]

I just watched a Krav Maga video on the same situation, and they were teaching the technique with the eyes that you advised against. Very useful, thanks! (Btw, awesome that you're wearing the blue bar on your belt)

[@frankcastle7777]

Dude is a good teacher

[@TrishCanyon8]

Good stuff. Thank you. ❤

[@thelondonpropertyscout1646]

great vid

[@tedawj]

great lesson .. thanks

[@carlosrobertomiranda8302]

Great video. Thanks

[@goudagrishhdoe8925]

This is the first video I’ve found titled headlock escape that was actually an escape, the rest were headlock prevention techniques. I’m hoping to find one that is geared more towards two untrained fighters. Most untrained guys don’t headlock like that, they are most like gonna do the headlock from a position where both ppl are standing, facing each other and one is bent over in a headlock. I think the next most common would be where the guy doing the headlock is sitting and the guy in the headlock is behind him on all fours. Would like to see escapes from these scenarios

[@jackhayes6195]

thanks those were pretty good

[@mexicanbrother6300]

suscribed ,amigo, baja california mexico, sensei ,much respect ill watch your videos alot

[@fitnessmmaplaylists3548]

There were times where i was in a kasa katame and i didnt know what to do so i tapped after some time in that position on a friendly roll. That way i could restart and try new things learn and enjoy the fight. After this video i will try use some of this techniques. Thanks a lot oss

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I hope some of this helps. Also, check out my Side Control escapes video...it might help too.

[@Chuck_D]

Amazing stuff as always .. I wonder if some of this stuff can neutralize scarf guard against a wider opponent?

[@michaeltdunn6845]

Professor Eli. Love your videos. Great detail and explanations. Do you have any top 5 guard passes you use that are effective on larger stronger opponents?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I do, and I need to make a video over those!

[@leonidberenshtein6921]

It's looks like amazing!!! Royce Gracie jiu jitsu!!!

[@MaxLohMusic]

"like an airplane". Seems way more reliable than Stephan Kesting's method of "sawing their neck" which is essentially pain compliance. I'll have to try the "airplane" thing next time someone does this to me

[@Sei783]

I've been trying to get out of this hold for 4 weeks. The instructor says "you down, you hold, go" and just let's us go at it with no instruction. I've tried bridging the chin/neck, trapping the head with my leg, rolling him straight back (almost popped a rib), and even shooting my left hand between his body and mine to wedge the choke, no go. That last one works a little but with my right arm trapped like in the 3rd demo, I damn near pulled my shoulder out. The higher ranked students seem just as clueless because they can't get out either except for maybe one or two who can either wiggle lose or power through it. I'm looking forward to testing these techniques out this weekend.

[@rubenzs3161]

What happened? Did it work?

[@RD-un5bh]

Thanks

[@criostasi]

Nice video. I learned the same kind of defenses, but to see them done and explained by you is all a different thing. My usual noob question: to make it simple could I use pretty always the last defense? I think it should work also when your arm is free because you can wrap your opponent body anyway. Thanks

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It works in a lot of conditions but I tend to save it for when my arm is trapped. The others are easier for me personally.

Can you show a few ways in Jujitsu or BJJ Throws

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My next video is on takedowns!

[@manncavemoment]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu Awesome can't wait to see it I did have 2 other questions though How do you get out of the situation Where you're on the ground in your Opponent is on top you And attacking you My 2nd question is also related to that topic How to get out of a Guillotine By your opponent when you're on top of them on the ground And they have you in a guillotine

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

The guillotine question might be tricky to articulate here...I will try to make a video on that soon. As for the first question, this could be the result of being taken down with a headlock type of control and landing in that position or from being on the ground in the fight already and the opponent gaining that control during a transition. It’s a pretty common occurrence both ways.

[@manncavemoment]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu That be much appreciated and taking The time to respond Was much appreciated as well

Good video, thanks. What if opponent has a headlock just on my head, so that both of my arms are behind him? Suggestions?
