[@insidetrip101]

[@prw139]

I hope to one day train with Dean Lister. Amazing genius. Simply makes a lot of sense. By the way, i broke my ribs too. Very painful. Im down 2 months. Started healing 6 weeks, then it becomes better. Looking at 12 weeks tops from doctors advice.

[@marcusjones9279]

That was alot of great information in that short time. It the little things that mean alot. Brother that open my eyes alot. Thank you for this.

[@akrocuba]

Great instructional vid! Thanks! Much respect!!

[@stevelillis6226]

purchase all your dvds. great details.

[@diosantana2659]

awesome way to shut down his pompous comment. You are the man Dean keep up the great work.

[@listerdean2332]

then you were caught correctly my bro, you have a good coach and cool to see this is not only my way... train good wishing you the best

[@l33tsh33p]

+Lister Dean May I ask about your hip placement relative to theirs? I have tried to keep my hip close to theirs, like with an armbar, but they tend to bodylock around my hips strongly and prevent me using my hips to press or separate. The advice so far has been to try and increase the separation of our hips when I make my entry so that I am lower down on the leg, but when I do that it feels looser and it seems the knee is less controled. Thoughts? Also, how do respond if they get close and bodylock?

[@idkhehe658]

Thanks for the pointers

[@Cornbreadddd]

Man he's so cool and relaxed.

[@matthenderson3133]

Damn, I wish I was that good at kneebars! It's my favourite sub but I've still got a lot to learn; epic!

[@Bruceleekungfoo]

Dean, my brother do you teach sometimes up in LA? Awesome videos hermano! Gracias!

[@listerdean2332]

yes of course!!

[@nicholasnj3778]

I talking about the toe hold submission and helping the guy to turn (two half ass submission and I'll escape evry time, any kind of how any kind of way) ,,,, not talking about grabbing and controlling the toes because that is a very good tip

[@bandy_king]

Congratulations... boy

[@listerdean2332]

sweet my bro!

[@austriandeathmachine8829]

All Hail The King

[@koslim]

Dean lister is a great instructor

[@quasar4601]

HE IS !!! SO IS THAT OTHER GIANT GUY Barnett and both in San Diego I think

[@brottarnacke]

Yeah, I've seen that toehold being taught on KZbin. I did raise an eyebrow when I saw it, then again I'm only a blue belt, so I don't know exactly if the guy had an ulterior thought behind what he did, but still...

[@nicholasnj3778]

great tips, plus you talk like a real New Yorker / New Jerseyan (the Proper English) ... awesome OSS ...

[@awmartian424]

Ty

[@nicholasnj3778]

nice tip on how to prevent the armbar escape but I find it hard to believe that a world champion would teach grab the toes

[@listerdean2332]

hehe why not?? same as when applying an armlock, its important to grab and control the thumb... So because it is the leg we are attacking, important now to grab and control the big toe specifically.... same as an armlock, instead of thumb, its the big toe to control... Key.... Have good times in training, withing the best my bro

[@KewlDude123]

Are you bending against the knee with your hips or against the side of the knee with your inner thigh? I was doing kneebars today and couldn't do it efficiently because I kept on feeling discomfort at my crotch. Someone advise meh plz

[@KewlDude123]

White Steel lmaooo I commented this a while back, I've got better at them now

[@claytonbigbsy3880]

***** haha

[@listerdean2332]

Its a common problem with both straight knee locks and straight arm locks.... You "must" squeeze your legs together TIGHT "BEFORE" the knee or elbow even touches your crotch... Its a common problem but easily solved

[@KewlDude123]

Lister Dean ahh, with armbars it's easier because its more easier to manoeuvre. with kneebars, because the leg is way bigger and stronger, sometimes the positioning is relatively difficult. I appreciate the advice and help, sir.

[@listerdean2332]

***** correct! That's why you need to squeeze your legs even tighter hehe.... Wishing you the best in training my bro

[@nicholasnj3778]

revise this comment , I talking about the toe hold submission and helping the guy to turn ,,,, not talking about grabbing and controlling the toes because that is a very good tip

[@jdpw09]

I would become a hitman for a day if it would let me train under dean lister. That guy is unreal.

[@listerdean2332]

thanks my bro, come train with me anytime if you are in the San Diego area

[@jdpw09]

absolutely!

[@bigmember5908]

hitman sounds like a great job actually

[@nicholasnj3778]

thanks for the reply, I undertood that, I was talking about the two half ass submission part

[@listerdean2332]

Gench in Action. I broke my rib and was on pain medication... Maybe that is why I sounded slow lol. Maybe I shoulda had a few drinks though, broken ribs = not fun :(

[@bigmember5908]

injured ribs are terrible because at some point they feel better, until you go to do something......it's total bullshit!

[@alivepenmods]

Haha exactly, then you get damage over the previous injury

[@alifg.9988]

fuck that forehand lol

[@ldesonhaiber1006]

Alex volkanoski watched this

[@bulletshift733]

Who cam here because of the TJO clutch?

[@centrodeestudosdejiujitsue3672]

samurai

[@chrisredig1381]

Thank you.... Hope the guy washed his feet

[@quasar4601]

Why is that guy almost naked lol

[@DOJUNIMRALPHALLISON]

lock + PAIN I was looking for ; this is just a static lock and not what I was looking for . the way it`s been shown would be no reason to tap out and therefore not useful in a street application.otherwise not a bad demonstration .

[@nolanmoura6181]

Bro please leave that poor malnourished man with some food 🙏

[@cosmic_snot]

Looks like a toad torturing a cricket :'(

[@BlackMaskq]

10K Likes from me.

[@karinleder6252]

Some months ago, a tiny police woman, 20 cm smaller than me, inflicted a leg-bar on me, turning my bikerboot to even strengthen the leg-bar. My fists could only strike air - holes. A few seconds later I fainted cuz she additionally pressed one finger hard against a neuralgic point 5cm beneath my knee . Since she was Japanese looking and by the quick way she made me tumble to the floor , I now guess, what she applied on me must have been Judo or Aikido.

[@MS-kj5yq]

This guy needs to eat.. Jesus.

[@princewes]

Jesus is filling. Amen

[@quasar4601]

Why this creep not wearing a shirt lol. Very odd situation

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

God I know NOTHING about BJJ

[@Momsspaghetti777]

Why is he so damn skinny

[@leestheories1172]

What if you're in a street fight, the guy could kick you in the face with that other leg can't he?

[@IndagatorAD4]

+LEE GUILLEN If you're on bottom in a street fight. You're already not doing as well as you might have hoped.

[@MetalMemory]

+LEE GUILLEN I have thought about that, my answers is break the knee and see if he continues to kick you.

[@chrisXDfull]

+LEE GUILLEN what ^ he said. do you want to trade 1 kick for a snapped knee?

[@noxsbg]

If you are in a street fight you ground and pound the other guy, no need to do fancy locks.

[@HunBassman]

I guess he could. But unless he kicks me unconscious immediately, he is going to have a broken knee.

[@abdelazizalyousef2476]

great advice, but training partner needs to quit bjj and become an actor lol.

[@VinhNguyen-vw9qw]

Jesus Christ someone get that guy a sandwich...
