[@tricyclemishap]

Genius. You still the man, Keenan!

[@55aviavi]

More defesive survival techniques like this please. They help you retain students !

[@BlackGold-fc7tu]

Ive been pracfcijg my guard retention a lot lately.. Looking forward to trying this

[@healthfreak79]

This looks similar to the old school running man escape. Thank you for the details and sharing.

[@golddee2040]

That's my go to side control escape. Save a lot of energy.

[@colincharles9034]

Beauty. Found myself in that situation couple times tonight. This would've been useful. For sure using this from now on. What a massive gym btw our club is a quarter the size 😅

[@craigd2352]

Very good guard recovery, funny enough my last competition I fought a guy who actually pulled this guard recovery off 2/3 times against me every time I passed he didn’t undertook he went straight to turtle same way you did and he recovered half guard and then did it again, so this is effective and for sure I will use it now too seeing as it worked in competition against me and also because your a world class athlete and approved it, thanks Keenan

Much appreciated technique, this seems especially good for lanky guys who can establish a very wide base like me, somehow it's intuitively stronger to flatten out and use my stronger rotational power with wide base. I feel like I get corrected when I try to do this by people telling me "you're giving up your back!" of course i am a white belt and so much more to learn but I'm definitely going to try this during some passing drills with the big strong guys in my gym. Oss thanks KC

Very good approach for defense

[@jackg5278]

Brilliant!

[@0xSolfury]

Good stuff. As a white belt, the underhook can be hard to get or being stuck in deep half.

[@douglasbernal8314]

love you Keenan

[@MrFlguy1]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@paulzenchuk7807]

Nice!!

[@timmyotoole6063]

would this be an advantage like forcing a turtle?

[@JesusFreekJiuJitsu]

You’re preemptively posturing your shoulders, by way of the arm being stretched out between the passer and the floor, so that your back is not facing the floor and instead it’s facing the open space behind/beside you giving you the ability hip escape while sitting up. This kills the cross face before it becomes a problem.

[@ericjones1876]

Wim Deputter calls this mirroring principle.

[@TheMotaVader]

Are you not worried about the darce or arm triangle when you reach your arm across like that?

[@BG22671]

They can’t really go for those chokes because the person on top would be on the wrong side of your body to lock it in. If they are passing on your right side they would need to lock up your right arm and pass to finish the choke. So the lesson here is… with your body in the rotated position you can bring your bottom leg and hips out from under your opponent. Then continue to escape and recover guard. Hope this make sense :) cheers and happy rolling

[@deepsweech]

Yeah atm triangle threat there

[@copyninja8756]

Don't really see the threat you're talking about

[@TheMotaVader]

@@copyninja8756 When he turns toward you if you shoot your right hand under his left armpit and out on the right side of his neck there's a pretty clear darce there. I'm sure it's defendable, just wondering how much of a threat it is.

Thats more or less what Renato Canuto did to Tainan Dalpra. Took for ever to award the points

[@bruhinthewild]

I see an opportunity for a back take from the get up.

The iron pillow

[@kkomla]

🙏🏿📝

[@tukity]

Got arm-in headlocked when I tried this in no gi. Hmmmm. Maybe i am not pushing enough?

[@craigd2352]

I mean the purpose it to mainly get into turtle so the arm is out just to help get a base to recover into turtle and then straight to half guard or full guard when he get further above you, best bet go for leg or below the leg stretch get turtle and then squeeze into the half guard or fill guard, although I’m quite small so it may work better for me rather than some of you bigger lads
