Jiu-Jitsu Escapes | Ways Out of Side Control, Scarf & Knee on Belly

[@tomanderson848]

Whenever I am googling a BJJ move, I'm always glad to see that Eli has made a video on the subject.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m glad that happens too! If you ever have a question I haven’t tackled let me know and I’ll try.

[@dukenukon6397]

I agree! As a day 3 white belt (literally watching this before my 3rd class) I've watched many videos from many instructors, and I can say that I enjoy his break downs thoroughly. I'm still in system overload, but he makes this crazy intense art seem feasible!

When I'm searching for anything BJJ, my search starts with Knight Jiu Jitsu..."

[@marcusJUJUalty]

@@dukenukon6397 how is your bjj journey going my friend 🤙🏾

[@danflanagan9536]

"whenever there's space, there's opportunity" 11:29, well said--now I understand what to look for

[@cool_piglet]

whenever there's space, there's bar

[@daves6195]

I am a forever white belt guy, but these are the simplest videos to understand thanks

[@chrisgoods]

I just want to say THANK YOU so much for that first knee on belly escape.. I hit it twice tonight. It's gold....I've upgraded a lil bit more. Thank you again !

[@mikelambert6636]

Love these. If only I could remember them while I'm rolling 😭

[@vconsumer]

pick the ones that the ring the most with you and try to focus on them.

[@staceyeve9249]

Right!? Same here...I often vapor-lock and go blank. 😑

[@mattkeen3811]

3 weeks since I started, we've been working side control escapes and submissions every session so far, including scarf hold. This is gold. I struggle to remember everything most of the time, but I love how technical it is

[@ole-martinblestrud6305]

JonthomasBJJ has a really good video on beginner mistakes for guard retention and side control escapes that helped me tons... I think you should check it out

[@finburns]

Its so interesting because this advice is timeless. 5 years old, and to me, its today years old. Great stuff - Thank You. Hopefully tonight when i role, my belly will thank you.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad it was helpful! And glad it stands the rest of time

[@hueguy]

2:11 Really slick move there. Thanks !

[@johnd6258]

I’m in the middle of “experiencing” the how, when and why of these escapes. Some of the other peeps in my classes seem confused as to why I’m not going spaz when they get in side control and mount. With pointers like on this video, I’m becoming able to see and take opportunities when I recognize them. Even portions of these moves/escapes work in other situations. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you Eli! Good stuff right here.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That is really awesome to hear. I appreciate you leaving this comment and I’m super happy this video helped with any of that.

[@ferulloscoasting6432]

I’m one month into my journey with BJJ and I’ve been using KZbin to augment my regular training! Let’s just say your videos have me getting out from much better guys.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That is awesome to hear! Thank you!

[@timmyxuereb3083]

Same for me

[@mrrob5851]

Ferulloscoasting ! His videos help my as much as you. I’m learning ju jitsu at a place that doesn’t speak English. So I’m visually learning. But Knight ju jitsu helps me tremendously. Keep going. I’m 8 months into my journey.

[@jayrolopez]

Same, a month in as well. I’m progressing so much watching these videos.

[@ShaunVictor2507]

Those knee-on-belly escapes are great.

[@stevej99]

you're videos are some of the best concise and detailed bbj videos ive seen. thank you sir

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! That’s a great compliment!

[@ericojrenriquez1653]

I like how he demonstrate and explain every step.He makes it look too easy.

[@LifeGQ]

Half of these views is me

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Hahaha! Well thank you thousands of times!

[@LifeGQ]

Millions of videos and yours are by far the best.

[@jrmbayne]

Which half

[@jeffycoolmoney7635]

William Schrimsher 😂😂

[@nataliebrunnelle2547]

I'm the other half

[@gregstokes7117]

Man I have SO MUCH to learn. This is AWESOME.

[@richr108]

I’m a Krav practitioner and as such we do just enough groundwork to get back to our feet. Always a pleasure watching BJJ guys and how they set things up to escape. New to your videos Eli and really appreciate them.

[@wolftoothco4007]

I looked up so many channels to study I drilled these with my teammates in gi class, I gotta say these are some of the most efficient escapes I could of asked for awesome work. Thank you osssss!

[@MrSkinahh86]

This is amazing! I have a new one to try in class next week! I can’t wait! Thank you so so much!

[@user-zh8di7ki6m]

I know this video is year old but I used to karate but I quit because of the students,they were always disrupting classes, so I’m learning a different style of “fighting” so I just want to say thank you for your channel may god bless you :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m glad you’re having a better experience these days! Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@LS67NOVA]

Phenomenal video!! As a white belt stuck in a major rut/plateau, thank you for posting this!!

[@grantgrant8554]

I pulled that side control elbow escape method on a purple belt in no gi today. Thanks for the great instruction.

[@danash4643]

Eli. Stared training BJJ three months ago and had my first open matt sparing today. Was pretty nervous about getting smashed. But after studying your videos since the beginning together with training I managed to execute multiple submissions and did far better then I ever thought I could. Thanks bro 🙏

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That makes me so happy to hear that. I appreciate you letting me know, and awesome that you could use any of what I showed. Best of luck in your training, my friend!

[@danash4643]

Your videos are having an impact on a small Mediterranean Island in Europe 👍

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s incredible to hear! 🙏

[@John2corner]

This guys is a real good coach. Really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge. An awesome teaching! Being a great coach and being a world champ is completely different. Thank you again.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@functional_elements]

That shin escape 🙌🏽 yessss thank you!! 🤙🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@halelorf]

Fantastic video! Knee on Belly is always a killer, I'll have to play with those two escapes.

[@shaunwalters55]

First, a proper thank you. These videos are choice and your teaching style is effective. Second, a request for passing the knee-shield!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate it! And that is a good idea for a video. Initially I would say it depends gi or nogi, but definitely a topic worth exploring!

[@Agape11]

Mr. knight! you are a dangerous man! Thank you for repeating moves and explaining so clear!

[@nathannoakes448]

These are so sharp 👌 nice and clear, and loads of good ideas, thank you 🙏

[@scorpion32]

Jesus ! if only I saw this video first on how to escape the scarf hold. I could've avoided so many beatdowns lol you make it look so simple

[@pilatesholly]

Thanks for adding the disclaimer that it is dependent on what energy is coming from your opponent!🙌🏻

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. Everything is dependent on that.

[@nikolaybyutyunev3216]

So much knowledge in just a couple of minutes, thanks, you will save my ass on the tournament I have this Saturday.

[@sylvanusjoseph1140]

I admire your explanation and think its it beautiful to watch. Even though I am a traditionalist and think BJJ needs revamping in regards to facing multiple attackers, weapons defence etc, I think your videos and explanation are well explained and excellent. Thank You

[@phx4closureman]

2:36 We learned this tonight in fundamentals class. We called it the *Greg* 😆😆 Took me a while to get the timing down on how he uses his right leg to trap the top guy's leg.

[@philippicfilipino]

What helped me incorporate this in my rolls was mentally visualizing how I get passed and applying the following video segments from this training to each stage.

[@1deaver]

Tried most of these techniques on my own belt in my weight class and they work. Not so much on an experienced blue belt with 100lbs weight on me. Getting crushed. But im using my speed and getting closer. Your video definitely help, thank u for sharing. Love your channel, great content

[@gettingoutthere.9981]

You're a great teacher. Thanks for the videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you, sir!

[@ricardodaniel6378]

This channel is outrageously good. Thanks for the value!

[@alessandrooliveira1228]

Excellent positions, I’m begining in jiu jitsu at 38yo, your vids are helping me a lot! Thanks 👏🏾🥋

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate you watching them and I’m happy they’re helping!

[@mike-yp1uk]

Last night i rolled with a skilled stripped white belt and i got more points and kepted him from submitting me. I get most of my technique here. This training helps alot. Under pressure i forget my moves but as i watch more i remember how much i could have used it and now hopefully i will remember next time. There is no substitute for training on the mats.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you! I appreciate it and agree fully. I want my channel to be a resource and supplement to actual mat time.

[@bboystance514]

This is gold!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks man!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks!

[@maximoestrada6611]

I've been training for a month and already know some move thank you sir.

[@marktribuani1196]

With my awful A.D.D. I love how quickly Eli speaks

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

And with my ADD it’s the only way I know how to present the info. 🙏

[@westfinger8630]

I never wish to be put in knee on belly but I'm almost looking forward to trying those sweeps next time I find myself in that position. Thank you sir!

[@oneillfitness]

My instructor does it to me like 100 times daily.

[@Syphonix3]

Practicing all of these. Thank you so much professor.

[@jellybean11forty]

Great video! We've covered a few of these in class but as a newbie, it's nice to see these and all the variations.

[@yun-xuanang3464]

that escape from scarf hold O_O mindblown

[@duckhunter4660]

I really appreciate your instruction. You do a very good job of helping me understand things. Thank you!!

[@ligerangry6857]

I'm a beginner in jiu Jitsu and I'll save this practical video for future practices.... very helpful video , thank you very much!

[@jfurr9645]

Very helpful and great for review! You're saving my 2 stripe white belt butt.

[@juaan.olvera]

The same with me Jaja 🥋

[@ezell704]

Man I’m a two stripe white belt and my entire existence is death under side control. They love to go north south and go side to side on me too... 🤦🏻‍♂️ fml

[@bigreg47]

Thank u so much about this techniques. Your videos help me out a lot. Not 100% at first. But after doing the move again and again. This help me in sparring.

[@GUTOMOFFICIAL]

Revisiting this video after doing it in class. Now it makes sense!

[@warriorstrength_]

im now a good grappler just because of you keep making these kinds of videos i wanna meet you in real and learn personally for sure

[@mrrob5851]

I’m glad you mentioned the sit up. I do all the time. And thought I was just lucky. Glad it’s actually something you would teach someone. The headlock frame you showed. I’ll have to rewatch that. I’ve had my neck cranked on more than I like. That’s a good edition to escapes. Knee on belly I’m comfy with. But I’ll try to get the legs added in to get those sweeps. As always. Eli. You explain everything wonderfully. If you get lost in japan please let me know. Lol. Thanks sensei have a great morning.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate you taking the time for such a kind and thoughtful comment. 🙏

[@mrrob5851]

Knight Jiu-Jitsu I haven’t made a video for KZbin yet.... But while your videos are short and sweet loaded with lots of information whether visual or auditory. I’m sure it takes a lot of time to prepare before the video. No offense m sure you know exactly what you telling us. No doubt. But with all things in life. And where you are in your BJJ travels. I’d like to think you still plan before each video. So in hind sight, I try to give the best comment I can to express the most I can. And I’m looking forward to catching you a virtual lesson.

[@GoshGollie]

I just started bjj a week ago and obviously don't know what to do in any situation and it's literally mesmerizing seeing how obvious the answers are. I love and hate watching these videos because it's super useful knowledge and at the same time i feel like an idiot for just sitting there like a walnut while i could be working towards any of these advancing positions. 👍

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s just all part of it. The answers look simple a lot of times when we are shown them, but coming up with them on our own is really difficult. Stick with it and it’ll only become more and more amazing for you.

[@beautyalaritz3310]

A walnut 😂

[@maddoxbromley6426]

Dont feel alone brother. I am right there with ya

[@nathansharples8172]

I feel you on that man I’ve been at it for about 4 training sessions and I get put in chokes almost instantly

[@GoshGollie]

​@nathansharples8172 3 years later man, it gets better brother. Everything becomes instinctua. You treat grown men like children without even trying. But there are always levels to it. I've learned so much in 3 years, but there will always be someone with 10 more years than you who treats you like a child too 😂😂😂😂 stay frosty brother

[@gregdaniels1559]

Excellent video and breakdown. You are one of the best!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you sir!

[@djayj1220]

Thanks Eli. Great stuff. We really appreciate you sharing these vids!

[@x426x]

Tons of priceless information. Thank you

[@RoRoTheG]

Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. I truly appreciate it.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate you watching them

[@jackthompson5863]

Very helpful. Thank you for making this available.

[@c.b6652]

I’ve recently in the past four months started training bjj and I just discovered this which today I put it to practise and didn’t managed to get caught in side control for to long 💪

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s awesome progress to hear about it!

[@tipshikes3682]

Great stuff very easy to follow some instructors are just easy to take to.

[@WolfGhost97]

Wow. One of the best defenses I've seen around...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@alduline]

sick sweeps, keep them coming. more of this

[@alexbrasileiro8329]

Wow, your videos have a lot of knowledge and teaching. Congratulations on the way you deliver your teachings! Really awesome! 🤘

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you like them!

[@eaglecuts5621]

Thank you, you're really good at explaining and I signed up to jiu jitsu and thanks to your videos I didnt do too bad. Thanks coach.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s awesome to hear! Good luck with your training!

[@gregghelfi3304]

Started 6 months ago and this is the main escape I drill. I start rolling on bottom side control. I always get stuck because, I cannot “shrimp” that good. You do it so smoothly. Thanks for the video!

[@777Thebear]

Love all your videos man. I literally just watch them on repeat.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that a lot

[@ankuraditya1562]

Keep them coming , love your videos champ !

[@andrewcena]

Just came across this video, we were working on that transition out the backdoor in class shown around the 4:00 mark but I had a lot of trouble with it, the solo sequence you showed after really helps me understand it much better. Thank you!!

[@Red_ready317]

Great work explaining thanks I’m definitely trying this in my next class

[@spartanlukas]

Excellent tactician, I really love this Sensei!

[@erickb7846]

Really appreciate the instruction. I don't download very many videos but this one was worth watching again. Great review thanks sir. Going to get a sweatshirt 🥋

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that!

[@martialway100]

Good techniques, especially the knee on belly sweeps. Thank you for uploading all of your videos.

[@alemoreno86]

Great escapes, i ll definitely try the one with knee on belly, which i find really difficult to escape

[@farhadbasseghi]

You are an excellent teacher!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you very much!

[@pourindiesel]

Thanks for your excellent instruction Mr. Knight!

[@monkeyonduty6152]

This tutorial is all i need for now! Thanks a lot 😊

[@juiceman7649]

Its good that it can be so hard to escape some of these positions because it means how advantages it is to hold these positions on someone

[@Hernoxx]

This is very useful for me to work on, thanks coach

[@tonyhiggins5745]

Great video Eli, you are truly a master. Good to see Jeremy also, what a magnificent beast. Great video guys

[@jasonbaty1501]

Wonderful explanation. Thanks so much for the detail.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching!

[@kieran6417]

I got in a street fight about 2 years ago, the guy was half my size but he wrapped me up like a Christmas present... Good to know how he did it! I won't lose again.

[@heymanhaha]

Hope you join a bjj gym.

[@Rawr2Tank]

Great content. Clear and concise walkthroughs.

[@brianshanahan3878]

Awesome videos and explanations!

[@0023chef.d]

Thank you for the vid. im going to study and apply in my game

[@1UmmahTv]

elbow escape is my go to .. let them mount and boom end up in my halfG BUT i really need to drill that transition to get them into my full guard. And the Turkish getup i used that all the time. The issue now when i roll with higher belts is not being bottom side its the dreaded knee on belly.. they dont even try to mount, they just knee on belly (KOB) when you try escape the windshield wiper to other side.. and attack with chokes and armbars. After class today will def drill these two escapes (KOB). Thanks for another quality vid.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That all sounds like a familiar struggle. I've totally gone through the same issues (and still do depending on who I roll with). Those KOB escapes are the most solid for me, and I have drilled a ton of others in the past. Thank you for the comment and sharing your experience!

[@josephyoung3709]

I learned so much from you. Thank You

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Gold... especially the knee on belly was awesome!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

Check out Renzo's knee on belly escape too.

[@AngelMorales-qn8bf]

The title of the video startled me, I was like where tf did it go.

[@ronque23]

Killer techniques man!!! I'll be watching at .25x speed to breakdown film.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@vconsumer]

your videos are wonderful. straight to the point and a lot of options. very much appreciated

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that

[@dalion82]

Thanks so much for these. I always get stuck in side control and KoB and was looking for options...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s how you get good at getting out - get stuck there a lot. Thank you for watching!

[@differentangle2842]

last escape from knee on belly was on point , I got to try it

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Awesome! Thanks. I hope it worked for you

[@Mr10isfreak]
