Jiu-Jitsu Defensive Techniques | Punch-Proofing Positions

[@rodjjt7742]

I like how you add self defense scenarios to your videos. A lot of Jiu-Jitsu schools have gotten away from this. I'm subbed.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I like sport bjj too, but wish more school kept the self defense at the heart of it as well. Just doing my part.

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

This channel sure has some good stuff. I live in a very small town and have no training partner and am 2 hours away from any dojo.

[@eithankeihn4667]

Hell ya. One of the better martial videos I've seen. Not even limiting it to jj, very informative and competent.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that!

[@rozennbergfridi9206]

Probably the best self defence bjj couch. I sense Helios philosophy all over your art. Take care.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s how I was raised. I always want to respect that.

[@surprisesofjoyfulness8147]

Thanks for reminding me what I learned in Jiu Jitsu!

[@michaelbarnhill2685]

I've watched a ton of jiluijitsy vids. with the sole interest in not getting punched...and this is by far the best I've seen. At what level would you as an Instructor, say that students would become proficient at these concepts. at your gym for example.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Everyone is very different and consistency is the key for everyone. As well as figuring out a sustainable training routine. I think with focus and regular training a few days a week, it’s not unreasonable to become proficient in less than a year.

[@meetthemasters754]

This is so far your most important video in my opinion Eli 👍

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! That’s great to hear!

[@meetthemasters754]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu Would love some more stuff regarding this, especially striking offensive options off the back and combining sweeps with strikes: Rickson Gracie style ;-)

[@leelingkhai870828]

thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@JauGoo]

Love your videos and instructions!

[@m.a.central9949]

Solid gold techniques. Thanks.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much!

[@FR-ty5vn]

Very good - we put on the gloves a lot - I especially like the angle you create from guard - we trap the same way, overhook & shin, but I’m going to work that sharp angle from the side - thanks 🙏

[@christopherd5254]

Slick stuff brother. I like your jujitsu style.

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

WOW Bro..Your keeping it Real! Thanks :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I'm trying. Thank you very much!

[@omoplata10]

That lockdown is underrated. So many dudes do it just to hold the position to prevent the top guy from passing when in reality it is supposed to be an escape or sweep from half guard bottom like how Eddie bravo always does it

[@oneguy7202]

All tnese stuff reminds vale tudo gjj. Great and usefull things i wish sport bjj gyms teach some of them because are very important and basic for real ground fighting

[@sunrisemartialarts8965]

Brilliantly done, thank you master Eli !

[@yuvrajchauhan5098]

Watching back basics again. You have helped me lvl up mental game as well as technical game from past 6 years. Felt like I had holes in some of my basics so just going throw this library of knowledge. Can’t thank you enough🫡🙏🏼💎

[@criostasi]

Wow! Very very good. I have to take a look back at your video on escaping bottom side control. Your bottom full mount and side mount defense from punches for me are completely new. I will try them. Right now I am doing standard upa escape from full mount and standard reguarding from side mount. I will try to add something new. Thanks.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad I could help! Thank you!

[@leonidberenshtein6921]

Looks like amazing !!! Many thanks for your videos !!! OSSSS

[@yehpoting3299]

This is useful even in MMA

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I agree. Thank you!

[@nighthawk13666]

It never fails another sneaky bjj move thank you professor eli 🥋

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you too!

[@Sr.D]

I wish that in my bjj dojo or judo club one time at week we do a class with this kind of drills against strikes, and some light rolling with light strikes just to train not for competition or mma purposes, just self defense oriented and to be a more rounded grappler

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Ask some people and see if they want to start 👍

[@Doesitmatter666]

You sir have earned a sub

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that

[@jordibruvandellos4715]

Thanks, good technics

[@Native_love]

Subbed! I see the truth of it!

[@alexandreaffoque1182]

Nice. Thanks for showing.

[@ivelllino]

Awesome man!!!

[@PotatoSalad7777]

I love the self defense

[@gregdaniels1559]

Another great video

[@feedyourspeakers]

great tips

[@thinkaboutwan]

Thanks eli

[@agonzo3774]

Can you give a brief explanation of what to do if he has a knee on belly and he goes to throw strikes what to do, thank you

[@boxingforselfdefence7620]

Nice video EK. The first tie-up looked a little complex. Was there a reason you went for that rather than a standard dismount attempt?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It is a variation of elbow escape. Elbow escape is used when the opponent on top has a wider base. The standard bridging escape is better when the top opponent has a more narrow, tighter base. I just chose to show this version since I have other videos discussing the bridging version.

[@bobnice3044]

Hi can you please do one on several different half guard sweeps, i saw one recently from a different coach but can not find it anywhere, i wonder if it might be in your arsenal.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

There is a video I made on Half Guard entries and sweeps while filming at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. It’ll be up in the next couple of weeks on the Aperture Fight Focused Facebook page 👍

[@bobnice3044]

Thanks.

[@Chandasouk]

“Punch a black belt in the face, he becomes a brown belt. Punch him again, purple... " Great insight like always!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Master Carlson Gracie spoke some truth in that 👍

[@genarohernandezjr.6589]

Does someone have a link to the other video where you want to quickly stand up from under your opponent? It's mentioned in the video but I don't see a link.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I think maybe this is the one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPcZIVraZetqK8

[@tokinabo]

This is not gold, it's platinum! Thx a lot :-)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s awesome of you to say. Thanks!

[@angelmanfredy]

I see some 10th Planet Jits! :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Yessir. Good stuff is good stuff and I pull from a lot of sources.

[@z.martin8118]

nice...

[@skar516]

Man i got pinned down by somebody heavy in side and they got frustrated because I kept breaking his posture so his punches to face and body weren’t landing. He then used his strength to not only pin me but started kneeing my hamstring .. I guess I’m just asking for more on how to defend that lol

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Kind of hard to answer without being there and seeing the specific position. One thing I would say though is focus on where the space is created when the strikes (knees in this case) are initiated. There has to be space for strikes to happen and where there is space, there is opportunity. Kind of an abstract answer, but something that helps me diagnose problems.

[@skar516]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu i think I was having the most problem because I wasn’t able to shrimp out due to me being pinned against the cage or properly defend the leg strikes because of that. I’m sorry I should’ve specified that

[@hard2hurt]

Damn it I was going to skip jiu jitsu tonight and then you upload... I hate jiu jitsu... But I thought, what would Eli tell me to do?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha! I hope you got motivated to go then.

[@hard2hurt]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu I went. Focused on imagining punches from each position and it made me a little more urgent.

[@tusccountyjiujitsu]

What about scarfhold/kesa gatame/headlock?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

If done properly, no can defend... Kidding. Just had to keep the video short. I have a ground headlock escape video that has that in it as well.

[@Twobarpsi]

Where is your school located?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My home base school is in Paducah, KY

[@Twobarpsi]

@@KnightJiuJitsu the people of Paducah are very lucky to have your school. I wish I was closer!

[@thiagohenrique2176]

Showwwwwww!OSS.

[@manuelschmoller2884]

How to self defensivy your grappling? Watch Eli Knight and do as he shows. It's just beautiful. Including your knive work btw.

[@adilbekramadan2038]

😀🖑👍👌

[@khwezizungu8254]

This is all super basic GJJ but there's bjj champions who don't know this.

[@ryanblair2514]

No offense, you know nothing. I will ko you from guard.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

🤣🤣🤣
