Jiu-Jitsu Techniques | Submissions from BAD Positions

Here are a few unique opportunities that arise occasionally, which actually make submissions available from inferior positions. It is obviously better to gain the superior position, control and take the submission safely from there...however, sometimes the element of surprise from a bottom submission can take someone off guard.

[@HansDavidian]

These are some good tips since I often find myself in bad positions.

[@Ronen_Sinukov]

we all do ;)

[@KingInYellow.]

Yeah felt that one buddy

[@longpham7882]

best jiu jitsu channel on youtube

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Man, I really appreciate that! 🙏

[@dustwater]

@@KnightJiuJitsu agree. your stuff is the best.

[@samshah7801]

Agreed

[@arunangshuchakrabarty471]

I would 100% agree on that

[@brawlcity6383]

As a smaller guy, I needed this!! Thanks!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. It’s a big help for size differences.

[@Eshttzer]

That inverted triangle was one of the first submissions I landed, crucifix and everything! Love using the crucifix because it can set up triangles, armlocks, chokes or it can just be a diversion maneuver. After all, no one likes having only one arm to attack. I hope I can remember some of these moves next time I'm in side control. Awesome video!

[@arquitemaschile]

I was literally amazed watching this video. You should write a book man your jiu jitsu is gold.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Wow! That’s a great compliment. Thank you.

[@Chandasouk]

Oh my goodness, that scarf hold reversal was just nasty

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Nasty and great! It’s saved me a lot.

[@bundy4prez462]

That ude-garami using the legs is awesome.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I agree. I love that technique.

[@drakonwulfkozeidon8907]

How could I have missed this video? Thank you Sir I been watching your vids from New Zealand, now I'm in South America and I still believe you are ONE of the best instructors out there and I've seen many! Thank you and keep up the great work you do!

[@paprhat]

I love that inverted triangle. Thank you for the details. Those are what I was missing to pull it consistently. I’m a smaller guy and this thing has been my savior in the gi. What I’ll often turn it into is a Peruvian necktie to omoplata, straight armlock, or a gi-assisted go-go plata. OSS!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I love it too. I got several of these details from Braulio Estima and from Caio Terra. They changed everything about that technique for me.

[@yourmackdaddy9395]

Gosh Eli I've been watching for years and while going back to these older vehicles I can't help but say to myself "this man is just such a wealth of grappling knowledge." I'm sure you feel like you're still learning and that there are so many people above you, but I doubt there are very many black belts with the knowledge of Jiu Jitsu that you have. Such a clear understanding of the mechanics of the sport. Thanks for all these years of content! It's helped my game as I moved between gyms.

[@Dreddusa]

Excellent scientific approach.

[@gaetanoiuculano7895]

Almost makes it seam like there is no bad position once you know how to get around them! Nice channel you have there, just discovered it and subscribed good work bro!

[@timothymcclenathan4532]

Triangle choke from bottom side control! ......... outstanding!

[@dwilliams5452]

Knight Sensei, You are freaking awesome and a great teacher. You have clean demonstrations and clear explanations all the time.

[@LifeGate27]

Superb Sir Knight!

[@icebenda]

You should have more views, but then again, I'm glad you're not popularized as much so the cronies don't hear word about how to do good jiu jitsu :P you're probably my favorite bjj youtuber

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you so much for that!

[@1991darkhorse]

Most underrated channel for BJJ

[@booboo4613]

This is great. Gonna really focus in on these techniques. Thank you!

[@sammydodgers121]

Every one of your videos is immediately usable. The techniques really work! Thank you so much

[@criostasi4080]

First time I see this stuff. And it is also free. Really thanks. Not sure I will remember it but I will try something instead if my standard escape next time I am in bottom side control...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and let me know how it goes!

[@johnneydoe]

Love the focus on psychology feeding technique... reminds me of musashi’s go rin no sho...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you for the reference!

[@loganlogan9095]

Just came across your channel this morning. On my way to open mat so I will try a few of these. Thanks.

[@Miguel-yc7qp]

The most beatifull and efficient simple explained techniques I ever seen, Great Maestro!!!! Oss!!! Greetings from Barcelona.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Gracias! Thank you so much and big shoutout to Barcelona!!!

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

Side control where they put the hand on the other side blew my mind. I usually push the armpit and either take the back or butterfly, but Damn. I like that one alot more.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you liked it!

[@japinoybettajapan]

Awesome demonstration boss

[@brandonb1233]

You make the best technique videos out of anyone I watch brother, i cannot thank you enough. You help me lots at the blue belt level. Oss👊

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear I can help.

[@Matt_G824]

This is awesome stuff. I'll need to watch this video about 10 more times

[@vincechoo]

Love these concepts. Thanks for sharing!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks for watching them!

[@alprimo1839]

Your new fan from Taiwan, bro! Great clips to show practical ways fighting back against bad pos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That is awesome! Thanks and big shout out to Taiwan! 🇹🇼

[@electrikjimmy608]

Those are some super slick techniques my friend I'll watch this about 20 more times lol.

[@Stuntsandtricking]

Your style and techniques 👌, have helped my game a lot appreciate it.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Very glad to hear it!

[@ericcurrence8477]

Excellent.

[@РусланХусаинов-ъ9п]

БРАВО !!! Впечатляющие переходы на Американу из разных позиций !

[@chrisgreenwood271]

Excellent as always, also good to see an older training partner, I'm in my 50's still hit the gym three times a week. Keep up the good work always look forward to your videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. Todd is a beast. I hope to be as tough as he is at his age (54).

[@LarryBrooks-cf9qp]

Nice work, i swear you could be from my school. Very similar stuff. Nice.

[@eljefito94]

Awesome! I'm a lighter (130 lbs) beginner (7 months) always end up on bottom. I've been working on escapes and guard control, but being tossed around I like getting submissions from bad positions because I'm always in them. I do try to practice escapes and better top control and sweeps, but when rolling with higher belts who weigh 50 lbs more than you, it's tough as a beginner. I like the idea of being very tricky.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It helps to be tricky sometimes for sure!

[@charleswhittaker3442]

Even closed space defensive move can be effective nicely done bro

[@kkirk1381]

Man great video and content as always!!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@manncavemoment]

Love all the version's in this

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@manncavemoment]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu hey Eli I was finally able to come up with a good question so I was thinking about this transitions form side mount or whatever it's called I don't like people right there I've actually got sensitive ribs would you have an answer to that

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Do you mean escapes from bottom side Control? If so I have a video on that. 👍

[@gettingoutthere.9981]

Great stuff. The scarf escape is pretty slick. Thanks for your videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you like them!

[@blwn327]

Wow! Love em!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks 🙏

[@davidbarcia5266]

Just amazing, amazing aaaand... amazing! can't wait to try it and surprise my colleagues at tatami. This techniques are my favorites because they are ment to be done without kimono. Thanks míster. Best regards

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

[@iasoto]

Best video ever! Thanks

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@tobymaples7646]

nice! as a lighter guy i get stuck bottom side a lot. been working that inverted triangle for a few months but now i have some more ammo

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s great when combined with these other things. I got several of these details from Braulio Estima

[@harrisonngchok3503]

Those were some amazing tips Coach Knight

🏆👍🏻 can't wait to try them out. Very creative. Thanks for sharing. Well done. I like how you are very direct and to the point in your instruction.

[@selfprotectors]

Great lessons as always. Thank you for sharing. Open a school down south of the planet earth and I will join.

[@shanesmith89]

wow! awesome videos man! I love the lesser talked about stuff just like this!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Me too. These are some of the most fun to flex some creativity on.

[@oneguy7202]

this vidro is very helpful especially fir whit belt, dometime you need catch philosophy submission from any position

[@rodrigomiziarayunes4763]

NIce vídeo. For the americana from bottom with your leg, a little adjustment is: just hook his forearm with your feet and turn your hip to the outside then you finish him. Best regards.

[@Agbahizzal]

I think he (like I) prefer shooting subs from positions of dominance so we can grind out another opening if something else appears

[@FR-ty5vn]

Great 👍🏼 moves!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Chris-bl3ep]

Excellent video!! What do u think about the puppet master technique Eli, the last sequence where u hook the arm with ur foot was very similar, I've been experimenting with it recently thanks for the extra ammo.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I love it and it has a lot of entries and versatile uses. Chino has a great video on it as well as Dave Camarillo demonstrating it on my friend Roy Marsh’s channel.

[@paulbridgman3437]

Wow! Very cool 😎

[@UnlimitedMullets]

Thanks!

[@luizhql]

Perfect, like use to be. Tks for sharing knowledge.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My pleasure. Thank you!

[@TotemYuri]

omg... i don't know which one to pick or which one I like the most... decisions decisions... my brain just overloaded... looks like i am picking ALL OF THEM!!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s what I would suggest!

[@nighthawk13666]

That's some real sneaky bjj I like that brother keep up the good work 🥋

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@Homer-je1pz]

Amazing. Just amazing tutorial. Premium quality tutorial but I don't wanna give you any idea since I'm too poor to afford them atm.

[@czarnyrycerz999]

Yeah! Great channel! Thx for help! I have white belt and I fight only in bad position ;)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you. I hope this helps

[@eschelar]

Love it bro

[@Dreaming-11]

Thank you, great lesson!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks!

[@amedey1]

Le hice la segunda técnica a un cinta morado y al final cuando le tenía cerrado el triángulo me puso la rodilla en el estómago y fui yo quien tapout. I did the second technique to the purple ribbon and at the end when we had the triangle closed, I put my knee in my stomach and I was the one who tapout.

[@dexterhawk3784]

Damn that dude have some very slick jiu jitsu techniques.🤔👍

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@taylorsimcoe9404]

This video gave me a chance to do more on the mats in positions I normally put myself in. Got any tips for a aggressive opponent who is stronger and is always catching you in a standing guillotine and then pulling guard and just sinking it in.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I don’t mean to be too abstract, but posture is the answer. It’s why wrestlers are so hard to catch in guillotines (good wrestlers). Getting your hips under your shoulders when necessary is very important.

[@feedyourspeakers]

Great video, would be awesome to train at this place

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@angelmontero6624]

I have been in those positions rolling, and i just try to survive. Now i have some options for submisions. That training partner and Harry Morgan (James Remar) from Dexter Morgan serie look as same.

[@rikiwiki]

must awesome bad position oportunities! great vid!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@rikiwiki]

thank you for sharing!

[@chrismarsh7453]

Solid jiu jiu!!

[@kioobee705]

Please make a video on how to counter street fight moves such as jabs, hooks, crosses and kicks using jiu jutsu. Thanks!

[@kioobee705]

And possibly a little knife defense at that. Gotta be prepared. What I love about jiu jutsu was that after I mastered some moves, I was able to defend myself from bigger guys in class who like to disturb and annoy very small guys like me especially with pushes. I always hold back though. Dont want to hurt anyone.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That sounds good. I actually have a couple videos addressing these in separate places on my channel but I need to make a new one.

[@MrMD-xm5fi]

The first time i give my comment in BJJ channel... I am about start to love BJJ... Hopefully someday the BJJ blackbelt will open Dojo in my city

[@MrMD-xm5fi]

Here we go again, i have practice a lot Jiu-Jitsu move to my friend and Its work ,thanks for this one

[@brandonhernandez858]

Thank you I was having trouble because my opponent will get me in side control and don't no what to do thanks to this video now I do

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad to help! Thanks for watching!

[@Twobarpsi]

Great topic!

[@koolaidmanbjj6128]

I've tried the Americana from bottom a few times, never got a sub from it but they did freak out a bit and gave me room to escape

[@Cunthia]

I need to know how to get out of a seated on knees position where attacker is putting full body weight(usually sitting on) your back forcing your neck to tuck to your chest and cutting off air.

[@joaovlogetags1184]
